How do you find the perfect title for your book? For my Kristen Conner Mystery Series I discovered the first title while listening to the radio: Cuts Like a Knife. When I started outlining the second novel, which dealt with online dating and obsession, Every Breath You Take made it two books in a row that matched up with a great 80s song. The third novel? Still haven’t found what I’m looking for? Or cold as ice?
What’s In a Name? (I Would Like to Ask J.K.)
Why do so many fiction authors use initials instead of their first name on the cover? Wish we could ask J.K. In this video presentation, I give what I believe is the real reason.

Should I Buy a Handgun or Not?
Should I buy a handgun? Philosophically, I believe in our Second Amendment right to bear arms. Personally, however, I am not sure I am comfortable with a handgun in the house. I don’t think the two perspectives are mutually exclusive though! For me, as the author of murder mysteries, it is both a serious and tongue-in-cheek question.
I don’t have any great confidence that a handgun will save the lives of my family and me. But I suspect that I will make a purchase, take a class, go to the range once or twice a year, and lock whatever handgun I purchase up!
