Earlier this fall, I had the opportunity to sit down with historical mystery author extraordinaire, Jess Montgomery, who pens the Kinship Series and hosts the very cozy vlogcast “Tea With Jess.” She invited me to chat about Poetic Justice and my love for the mystery genre. During our conversation, she asked what led me to create a heroine who is overcoming past demons, all while attempting to solve the murder of her mentor. As I told Jess, I figured…
“…putting a character who has a water phobia in a town that is on the water brings a very clear conflict to the beginning of the story and increases the tension—the will she solve the case or won’t she element of the tale—giving the audience a reason to lean forward and stick with the story. Plus, the fear of water, the aquaphobia, makes Victoria relatable and allows the audience to very quickly feel empathy for her and take her side during the challenges she faces as the story progresses.”
