Q&A With the Author:

What was your inspiration for writing this book?

This is the second book in A Texas Flower Farmer Cozy Mystery Series. I wanted to continue Emma Justice’s story, and learn more about the people in Lutz, Texas. I am always excited to visit Texas, whether it’s in real life or in my stories. In this story, a local businessman is murdered. He’s not a very nice man, and when it comes to motives and suspects, there will be a lot for Emma to consider.

What did you enjoy most about writing this book?

I enjoyed that when faced with adversity, Emma didn’t give up on her business or her friendships.

Do you have any other books you are working on that you can tell us about?

It’ll soon be time to write the third book for this series, but before that, The Con, Book Two of An Organized Crime Cozy Mystery series will be released.

Can you tell us about what you have planned for the future?

I plan to continue writing for both of my series with Level Best Books. I’m also going to try a stand alone traditional mystery.
