MPW The Mysterious Case of the Missing
Ghost.
AW Hmm, that sounds interesting. What first got you into writing and why?
MPW When I was three years old, I taught
myself to read because I wanted to write stories so badly. Once I learned how
to write, I then spent most of my life focusing on mastering it. (For example,
along with writing fiction, I also owned a company that wrote sales copy for
businesses.)
AW You write mysteries from Cosy Crime right through to psychological thrillers. Is it all imagination, or do you do research?
MPW It’s mostly my imagination but I
will do some research. As much as I can, I like to make sure the facts are
right and the events are (mostly) realistic.
AW
Have you tried/dabbled with other genres or writing for other forms of
media?
MPW I’ve done lots of different writing. Along with writing sales copy (which I did for over twenty years), I’ve written
articles and nonfiction books, and I also write psychological thrillers.
AW
Famous authors such as Roald Dahl and Dylan Thomas had a special space
for writing. Do you have a writing shed
of your own?
MPW I will very soon. Right now I’m
writing on my dining room table, but eventually I’m going to set up my office
in the loft. I haven’t yet because my old dog can no longer climb stairs, and
she likes to be with me while I work.
AW
And finally, what would your eight-year-old self think, and say
about you and your achievements today?
MPW I think my eight-year-old self would
be both happy and sad. Happy that I’m finally doing what my eight-year-old self
wanted to be doing (aka writing and publishing books), but also sad that it took
me years before I finally got here. (While building my copywriting company, I
mostly put my fiction writing dreams on hold, and I do regret doing that.) I
also think my eight-year-old self would be a little confused by the whole idea
of self publishing and would have wanted to know why I don’t have an agent or a
“real” publisher, lol.
about the author … A USA Today Bestselling, award-winning
author, Michele taught herself to read at 3 years old because she wanted to
write stories so badly. It took some time (and some detours) but now she does
spend much of her time writing stories. Mystery stories, to be exact. They're
clean and twisty, and range from psychological thrillers to cozies, with a dash
of romance and supernatural thrown into the mix.
Michele grew up in Wisconsin, (hence why all her books take place there), and
currently lives there after spending nearly 30 years living in the mountains of
Prescott, Arizona, with her husband and southern squirrel hunter Cassie.
When she's not writing, she's usually reading, hanging out with her dog, or
watching the Food Network and imagining she's an awesome cook. (Spoiler alert,
she's not. Luckily for the whole family, Mr. PW is in charge of the cooking.)
about the book … Emily Hildebrandt is learning to settle into some of the very strange cases that come through The Redemption Detective Agency’s door.
Like Aunt Tilde’s friend Ruth who claims she’s lost a ghost.
How does one lose a ghost? Apparently when the ghost decides to walk out the
door.
But, to make matters more complicated, it’s not just any ghost but the ghost of
Ruth’s dead husband. Who was murdered decades ago under very suspicious
circumstances.
Emily has no choice but to go back in time and figure out what really happened
to Ruth’s husband, in order for everyone to rest in peace.
