I was featured on Writers Interviews, a website that provides readers an inside look at a book’s content, inspiration, and creation, straight from the author. Here’s a sneak peek:
The novel is set in Los Angeles during the 2010 mid-term election. For people not familiar with what Los Angeles was like then, could you set the scene for us?
2010 was perhaps the year that California established itself as a radical ideological alternative to the majority of the remainder of the country. The contrast was startling: the country swung dramatically Republican (Republicans won control of the House of Representatives and a majority of governorships), while California defied national trends by returning a Democrat to the Senate, voting for a Democrat for governor and expanding the Democrats’ majority in the state legislature. We Californians began to feel cut off from the mainstream while remaining proud of our stance. So this is a Los Angeles fiction, more specifically a Venice California novel. Or you could describe it as an election mystery novel.

Until next time,
