Right.

Um, and so I, I definitely made that a women's fiction, and I actually wrote it originally in the same, uh, POV as the murder mystery.

Um, when I got to the editor stage, we had a long talk and she said, "I think you need to make this third person." Um, and so I dove back in and, you know, stepped back a bit.

Um, and then I thought, you know, uh, people aren't following me on, from romance, and, um, I really bent the genre a bit with women's fiction.

Why the heck not just jump off the, you know, the bridge and, and make a murder mystery? And part of that was because, um, my husband, during COVID, had an accident on his bike, and then about a month later, he had, um, transient global amnesia.

I'd never heard of it before.

All I know is he showed up at the door and said, "I don't recognize anything," and I'm wondering, how did you get home? Like a homing pigeon, he rode his bike home, but he had no recollection of anything.

... what is your writing life like? Are you a daily writer every morning from 9:00 to 11:00, or are you more freeform?
