Book Talk: BTS: Come What May

Listen to the Behind the Scenes episode for Come What May

Do you ever wonder where authors get their ideas?

Today I share the story behind the story for my novel The Art of Deception in the Come What May collection that was released in August 2023. It’s a unique story for me because it’s part of an indie collection, meaning I didn’t have a contract with a traditional publisher but came together with many of my writer friends for this collection of 12 novels in three volumes. I talk about why I did that and why it can make sense to do that as part of my overall publishing strategy. I also talk about how this is part of the larger build-up to my next novel which will be released in April 2024. This was one of those stories I wanted to write. As I was researching I kept coming back to art as money laundering and found it FASCINATING. I love art. And I love suspense. And this seemed like an interesting way to tie the two together- a way that I hadn’t seen written about in other books. I could probably write a whole series just focused on this area, but there’s at least this book. 🙂

I’ve also got ideas for another series, so I’m asking for your input at the end of the episode. Let me know what you think!
