How important are names to you in your books? Do you
choose the names based on liking the way it sounds or the meaning? Do you have
any name choosing resources you recommend?
They’re not super important. I choose names based on how
they sound, and then I use a name randomizer on the internet for last names
based on their ethnicity.
What do you consider to be your best accomplishment?
My children
Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
I would love to be able to write full-time, with several
books out in the world.
What do you think most characterizes your writing?
I think the humor I infuse really characterizes my writing.
I write suspense, but my characters tend to be really funny. I grew up in a
house with humor infused in everything, and my husband and I tend to use humor
a lot, and I found that I really wanted my books to reflect that. Which is why
even if my main characters aren’t always funny, there is a side character who
is that person. You have to have some sort of levity when things start to get
serious.
What was the hardest part of writing this book?
Finding time. I’m a mom to two children, so finding time to
sit down and write has become a precious commodity. Before kids, I could write
whenever, but with a ten and four year old, finding time to sit down
uninterrupted to write is very rare.
Are there underrepresented groups or ideas featured if
your book? If so, discuss them.
Tessa in Be My Little Baby is Latina. I am
Mexican-American, my grandmother immigrated to the United States in the 1950s
and I have a lot of family still living in Mexico. It has become important to
me to see more heroines in books who look like me. Where they are proud of
their Latin heritage, even if they don’t look Latina, or speak the language, or
that is only part of their heritage. I always get surprised looks when I tell
people I’m Mexican-American, and so writing my experience into books has been
important to me and Tessa is my first, but by no means my last, character like
this.
Are there misconceptions that people have about your
book? If so, explain.
I haven’t heard anyone having any misconceptions about the
book.
