What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Mystery at Camp Esther, White Feathers Academy: Book II?

Halo Havens, the hopeful angel child, appeared one day and has lived in my imagination ever since. Midas, her big golden dog, was a beloved protector and member of my family. The setting for Camp Esther was influenced by my first experience as a camper and my nine-year-old imagination about what might have happened in an isolated location, perfect for a camp. I’d never tried to write a book until I retired from my career job. It has been a real learning experience, and Halo has been there prodding me every step of the way.

If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of Mystery at Camp Esther, White Feathers Academy: Book II, what would they be?

Halo’s might be “I Believe” or “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.” Midas would probably prefer “Count on Me” by Bruno Mars.

What’s your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?

Mystery, fantasy, romance, and Christian stories.

What books are on your TBR pile right now?

Black Ice by Brad Thor, The Cellist by Daniel Silva, Three to Get Deadly by Janet Evanovich, and Christmas Angels by Nancy Naigle.

What scene in your book was your favorite to write?

Halo finding the threatening note hanging on her cabin door, the kidnap scene, meeting Caleb in the Soup Kitchen.

Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)

No. I do like a cup of coffee or green tea.

Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?

“Every day is a new blessing,” borrowed from my husband.

If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?

The first page and the last page.
