What inspired you to write The Thirteenth Chime?
A) I had the inspiration for the book shortly after coming to Washington one night during a bad storm that knocked the power out in my area. We went next door to share a few candles and for the company. Lightning flashed and thunder shook the house, lighting up the room we were in even through the draperies. Then the the sky was silent. The silence made my breath catch and in the next moment, the antique grandfather clock in the house began to chime. The sound echoed throughout the house and made my heart jump into my throat. I unconsciously reached out to hold someone's hand, yearning to feel a bond, and it was in that moment that "The Thirteenth Chime" was born.
How much would you say being a blogger before being published helped your career?
Which of your characters would you say is most like you?
A) "In the Hand of the Goddess" by Tamora Pierce along with each of her other novels. I also love Sharon Shinn and of course many, many YA authors.
