INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the blog post by answering the following questions:
What inspired you to choose the particular culinary setting for your mystery series?
I used to live in the Texas Hill Country and pie is a big hit with most people so decided to focus on a pie-baking, horse-riding amateur sleuth.
What kind of research goes into creating the culinary aspects of your mysteries?
The recipes have all been eaten by me and others. It’s a tough job but someone has to do it.
Do you have any personal culinary experiences that have significantly influenced your writing?
To be honest, I like the idea of cooking more than the actual event. I do it but I hate clean-up.
Bake our readers’ interest by providing some additional information
How do you think food enhances the mystery and suspense in your stories?
People always chat over food so Christie and her Pop or friends are always sitting down to eat and discuss things. When she’s making the pies, her mind wanders and she may think of a clue she’d not recognized before.
How do you hope your culinary-themed mysteries will connect with and engage readers?
Maybe they’ll try one of the recipes or be reminded of a relative who cooked that type of pie.
Are there any food-related subplots in your series that you find particularly compelling or fun to write?
There’s usually a meal or two in the story and it always involves down-home country food. It takes me back to when I ate those meals in my own life. As for the pies, my favorite is buttermilk.
