Q) What inspired you to write this story?
We both love Renaissance fairs and festivals. We look forward to them every year. We thought the mystery, and paranormal elements went well with the setting. Jessie and her friends took on a life of their own once we started writing!
Q) How long did it take you to write?
Once we actually sat down at the computer, about three months. It takes about a year before that to get all the ideas and characters in line to write it.
Q) What is your favorite thing about writing?
The rough draft. Telling the story from beginning to end and discovering everything about it.
Q) What is your least favorite thing about writing?
Revisions and editing. It takes all the fun out of it.
Q) If you could be any famous person for one day, who would you be and why?
The king and Queen of England. Why not?
Q) What is the oldest thing in your fridge and how old is it?
The oldest thing is a jar of pickled herring. It’s about a year old. It was a gift. It seems rude to throw it away.
Q) What can readers expect from you in the future?
More fun. More mystery. More spooky stuff!
Thanks for having us here!
