I sort of fell into crime. Being from the South, I thought I had to write the next Gone With the Wind. Unfortunately (fortunately?), no one else seemed to want me to. I got myriad rejections from publishers. My agent and I had a conversation about what I was going to do next and I told her that I’d always wanted to write a thriller but didn’t think I had it in me to juggle all those plots. She told me to give it a try and send it to her if I thought it was good. So, I sat down and wrote what became Blindsighted.
Tell us something about yourself that your readers probably don’t already know?
I’m so shameless on Facebook that I’m fairly certain everything about me is already out there. Maybe they don’t know that my father is Enos Slaughter’s second cousin (which will mean nothing to your readers; he’s a player who made it into the Baseball Hall of Fame)
