EPISODE SUMMARY
My guest today lived in old (and haunted) houses when she was growing up which sparked a life-long interest in both history and storytelling. She earned degrees in history-related fields and worked as a historian for many years. Her fiction writing is heavily influenced by the past which she believes is never really dead and buried. Fueled by black coffee and a possible sprinkling of Keltic fairy dust, she tends to find inspiration in odd places and sometimes while kneading bread dough. The author resides in Maryland with her husband, three kids, barn cat, and the occasional backyard hen who put up with her mad scribbling at inconvenient hours.
