Can you tell us a little about The Game of Murder?
Scarlet Lane has been
living a double life.
The downside? It comes with secrets that sometimes gets her into
trouble. The upside? Her best friend, Quinn Monroe, is right there along for
the ride, willing to be a part of all her adventures; especially when they
involve murder. So when Quinn invites Scarlet on a murder mystery weekend to a
secluded lodge tucked beneath the Rocky Mountains, she jumps at the chance to
take a break from her secret life. But when the game of murder takes a sudden
leap from fiction into reality, Scarlet finds herself smack dab in the middle
of a mystery as suspect number one.
Now, spending the entire weekend with a troupe of lovable (and
not so lovable) characters, Scarlet has to piece together clues that point to
the real killer before it’s too late.
What motivated you to write the book?
I love murder mysteries! Movies, books, tv shows…there’s nothing
more satisfying then an unexpected twist or jaw-dropping ending that I don’t
see coming. When I’m not watching movies or reading novels, I love to write…so,
I figured I should probably combine my two loves and write a murder mystery.
Can you tell us a little about Scarlet Lane?
Scarlet tends to be a little hard on herself and not as confident
as her successful career would suggest; however, her awkward demeanor and
lovable sense of humor draws us in, compelling us to cheer her on.
How long did it take you to write The Game of Murder?
Thinking it would be a great time to write a novel, I
decided to begin writing The Game of Murder during covid and had it
published in December 2022. It took me longer than expected, but I truly
enjoyed the journey with the characters in the book and really looked forward
to spending time with them each day.
How did you come up with the title for the book?
I had the title for
the book before I began writing. Once I had the title, the rest just
fell into place.
Did anything stick out as particularly challenging when
writing The Game of Murder?
I think the most challenging part of writing a murder mystery is
making sure the clues sprinkled throughout the story are not too obvious. Not
only do you want readers to be caught up in the story of the protagonist, but
you also want them invested enough in the puzzle to search for clues and solve
the crime themselves.
What do you like to do when not writing?
Besides reading (I have three books on the go right now), I love
to bake…it relaxes me when I need to unplug from my laptop for a while. There’s
nothing like freshly baked cinnamon buns and a cup of strong coffee to inspire
one to write.
