Today my thanks go out to mystery author Dianne Ascroft for interviewing me about the process of creating Ignoring Alva and asking such deep, probing questions.
Here is an excerpt of our talk:
Where did the idea for the mystery that is central to the story come from?
My characters are octogenarians, so I had to think of a mystery that would be apt for them to be entangled. I used to lecture on elder abuse back in my teaching days, and doing the research left me heartbroken. The numbers are only getting worse. In small towns, accessing nursing home care has become increasingly challenging. With that in mind, I felt that a mystery involving nefarious people preying on the elderly, would be perfect for Alva and Millie as they traverse Wisconsin.
I hope you’ll visit Dianne’s site to read the rest of the interview and to learn about her mystery series too! Thank you so much Dianne!
