Hi Melissa! I think Chicago is such a dynamic city. The people are diverse, the culture is second to none, and the food isn't half bad, either (I might be a little biased). I've lived here my entire life and feel I can bring all the sights, sounds, smells and feels to the city to the page. There's so much of the city to explore that I could probably set all future novels here and keep them from feeling redundant. I also love that we have four seasons in Chicagoland, and love exploring those as well - the cold autumn days that seep into The Good Girl and Don't You Cry, or the torrential rainfall of Pretty Baby. I love this city.

Hi - I have very much enjoyed your books so far. Where do you get your ideas/inspiration from? How do you keep the stories twisting and turning until the very end?! Do you enjoy writing books with a 'dark' side?! Looking forward to reading 'Don't You Cry' when it is released. Keep up the great work!
