![]() That's a terrific question! Personally, I think that writing for adults is much easier than writing for the YA or middle-grade genre. When I write for a younger audience, I have to put myself in the mind of a twelve-year-old to sixteen-year-old and that can be challenging. It's difficult to maintain a "younger" mindset for three hundred plus pages, and I always find myself a little more exhausted at the end of YA or middle-grade novel. Still, I do absolutely love both genres, and it would be hard to think of giving them up for good. Many of your books feature a main character who has psychic abilities. How did this become an influence in your life and what made you decide to feature it so prominently in your work? I'm a firm believer in the idea of "write what you know." When I first began my career as a novelist, I knew I really wanted to write mysteries, and I knew that I needed an amateur sleuth who could fit naturally into the crime-solving world. ![]() I wanted a character that had credibility and believability when it came to solving crime, and because I was already a practicing psychic intuitive of several years, it seemed like the perfect fit. ![]() From that first book, I found that I had a natural predilection for describing how intuition actually functions, both physically and mentally, and I think that's been the key to my success. Most everyone can relate to my characters because everyone has at least a little intuition. ![]()
