What inspired you to write SPRINKLED WITH SABOTAGE?

I said this about the first book in the series, and it’s still true for this one. All these books seem to have stemmed from an empty stomach. I love snacks and I love small towns. It was inevitable that I would combine the two.

If you could sum the book up in one sentence, what would you say?

Her high school sweetheart says he’s there to help, but she’s not so sure, and now, all the endless questions and regrets are clouding her judgment and preventing her from seeing the dangerous saboteur closing in.

What challenged you about writing this story?

I am not a summer person. Like, at all. In fact, I cannot stress enough just how much I prefer winter over summer. And I am aware of how weird that makes me. This story happens to be set in the winter, but I was writing it in warm weather. It was hard to push out all my irritation from sweating and sunburns so that I could get myself in the mindset of snow and scarves.

Which character do you most relate to and why?

It may seem strange, but I think I’m most like Lizzy’s assistant, Grace. She always feels like the small fish in a big sea and it sometimes makes her hesitant. And yet she keeps bumbling along, refusing to give up.

What do you hope readers will take with them after they’ve read it?

I hope this story will make you think and yet still be an escape. Because, tbh, 2020 just sucks. And we all know it. We all need a bit of a break. A blip in the constant chaos. And I want to help my readers find that. And because my faith is the foundation of my character, it’s always between the lines and I hope it can be a comfort to the readers as well. Like it is to me.

What do you enjoy doing when you’re not writing?

Reading, or more accurately listening. I’m totally addicted to audiobooks. On occasion, I will mow the lawn before my husband can just so I can listen to one while I do.
