Behind the Book: Through the Looking Glass
The first Behind the Book essay: how my first novel grew from a Facebook message, fourteen hours of Skype interviews under a no-lying rule, a pen name I later retired, and an ending that refused a rescue.
Series: Behind the Book
Every book in my library has a story behind it: why I wrote it, where the material came from, and what it cost to get it onto the page. The Behind the Book series tells those stories one book at a time, from the interviews and research through the publishing decisions, in my own words. Some of the stories are gentle. Some are not.
