Q: The Witness
was written in the same time frame as The Thief. How did you keep all
the facts straight?
A: The hardest part of melding the plot
lines between The Thief and The Witness was working forward and back
from one particular email Rick sends to report on the fire at
Nicole's apartment.
For some reason that detail posed a
real challenge for me. I went over it time and again, making sure it
coordinated and that it made sense when Rick sent it, where he and
Nicole were at the time, and with what device he had available.
Continuity details are just one reason
I'm grateful for my beta readers and editors. As I’ve learned more
with each new book, I can’t help but think I should’ve been smart
enough to avoid overlapping stories with my first two books.
Then again, I can say with confidence
that ignorance was definitely bliss and just writing the stories as
they wanted to be told was a super experience.
