For me. A book usually starts with an idea, a character, a line of dialog. I always love the idea for a new story or another in the Crime of Fashion Mysteries but the execution is difficult.

Aside from one middle-grade mystery, my books have been written for adults. So why did I just write and publish my first children’s picture book? Maybe it’s a rite (or write?) of passage.

Even in her confused state, Tennyson knows that something is not right with their relationship, especially seeing as she’s apparently his fiancé.
