What are you working on now?
My latest, greatest, most-wonderful idea of course! A writer has to have that kind of enthusiasm for a story in order to put in the weeks, months, years of hard work needed to bring it to fruition. But I find I can’t talk about stories in progress or the energy fizzles out. For me, at least, stories need a great deal of time and a safe, quiet place in which to grow before they can become all they are meant to be.
Hazel’s reading recommendation:
Author Alex Brett has written two mysteries that combine murder, science and Canadian politics in a manner that immediately drew me into her stories and has left me wishing there were more. Both involve Ottawa investigator, Morgan O’Brien, who specializies in science fraud for the Canadian government but the books have different locals and different science themes … both of them totally intriguing and well researched.
