I could tell you, but I'd have to kill you.

Read, read, read, write, write, write, but through all that, have other things in life that bring you joy. It could be a sport or an animal (some of us have several!) or a hobby, it doesn't matter, but keep in mind that life is a balance, and that includes writing.
There will be days when the writing doesn't go well. There will be rejections and critiques that hurt. That's part of the road a writer travels, but having something joyful to balance that out is essential. The writing will always be there, finishing projects or getting published don't happen overnight.
Rushing is the worst thing you can do. Take a breath, take a walk, find a little peace, then get back at it!

Having multiple projects all going at once is apparently my thing! I have another Sheriff Bet Rivers Mystery underway along with a standalone and a non-fiction book.

I've always been fascinated by the thought of what can be hidden under water. I love being in the water, oceans, lakes, rivers or swimming pools, but I also love to think about things that aren't easily seen. That, along with the incredible environment of the Pacific Northwest where I live prompted the idea for a story where the things hidden underwater come to light.
