Hello and Welcome Joe! I'm happy to have you here and to learn a little bit more about you and your fabulous new book!
So tell us, what
inspired you to become a writer?
After
college I became an actor in film, television, and theatre, working opposite
stars like Bruce Willis, Nathan Lane, Rosie O’Donnell, Holland Taylor, and
Jason Robards. Sorry to name drop! Morphing into writing plays and now novels
seem like the perfect progression. I knew my novels would include show
business in some way, since show business has always been such a huge part of
my life. As an avid mystery reader, it was clear to me that my novels would also
be page-turning mysteries with clever plot twists, engaging characters,
romance, and lots of clues leading to a surprising conclusion. Since coming
from a funny Italian-American family, I also knew humor would play a role in my
novels.
Can
you tell us a little bit about creating the Jana Lane mystery series?
