Interview With The Sleuth’s Dilemma Stars #Books
This past week I had the thrill of having The Sleuth’s Dilemma featured in a blogging blitz. It was so fun to click to several blogs each day and be reminded of interviews I’d done and posts I’d written and forgotten about. One in particular was a bunch of fun and I thought I’d share it with you here today. Below is the post I submitted to be featured.
Nancy Daley is the star of The Librarian Sleuth series, however each book has a secondary romance thread with point of view characters. I had a blast writing Anna’s story in The Sleuth’s Dilemma. I’m torn about which woman to interview today, so I invited both Anna and Nancy to talk with us.
Kimberly: Thank you ladies for joining us. I thought we could open up with a brief introduction. Nancy would you go first?
Nancy: Sure. Thanks for the invite, Kimberly. I’m the head librarian at Tipton County Library. My mom is the county sheriff and my boyfriend is a deputy. I enjoy solving mysteries so much that I consult for free with the sheriff’s department whenever they need a little extra help. Although, lately I’ve been benched thanks to a situation I found myself in last fall.
Anna: Thanks for including me, Kimberly. I teach English at Tipton high school. Nancy is my next-door neighbor and we enjoy power walking together.
Kimberly: Thanks, ladies. Anna this is for you. It’s was pretty clear in the opening pages of The Sleuth’s Dilemma that you didn’t appreciate having the writing contest dropped on you at the last minute. Now that it’s all said and done do you have any regrets?
Anna: Well, considering how everything turned out, no, but I sure wouldn’t want to re-live that time.
Kimberly: I don’t blame you. Things got a little scary for a while. Nancy, without giving any spoilers, would you like to chime in?
Nancy: Scary is right! Things got so bad Anna had to stay with me for her own safety.
Kimberly: And here I thought you were the one who always found trouble. I know you like your privacy, Nancy. How was it having a roommate?
Nancy: Honestly, I loved it. Maybe not at first, but having Freddy, that’s Anna’s American Eskimo dog, and Anna turned out to be nice. I liked having someone to run theories past without the need to make a phone call or text. On top of that, it felt good to be there for Anna when she needed someone.
Anna: And I really appreciated you being there for us. That was one of the most difficult periods of my life, and you helped make it bearable.
Nancy: I don’t think I was the only one who helped make thing bearable. Luke and Titus did a pretty good job of that.
Kimberly: That’s right. You caught the eye of both men. That must have been a nice self-esteem boost after having been jilted at the altar.
Anna: Groan. You had to bring that up?
Kimberly: Sorry. I didn’t realize it was still a sensitive topic. How about we talk about Nancy’s love life?
Nancy: I’m with Anna. Moving on.
Kimberly: Okay. I can respect wanting to keep some things private. To wrap this interview up, what would you say was the most important thing you learned?
Anna: I don’t know if it’s the most important thing I learned, but I am more cautious in dealing with students than I used to be. How about you, Nancy?
Nancy: That’s a tough one, Kimberly. I learned quite a bit, but one thing stands out in my mind. I learned what true love is.
Kimberly: Oh! That sounds exciting. Thanks again for visiting with us.
