Author I draw inspiration from: I can’t possibly choose one. Dorothy B Hughes, Kerry Greenwood, Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett, Gale Gallagher (the pseudonym of married couple Margaret Scott and Will Oursler). The list goes on...

Favorite place to read a book: Wherever I am - bed, bath, mountaintop or backyard.

Book character I’d like to be stuck in an elevator with: Billie Walker, hands down. She lives in my head daily, and I know she’s quite handy in an elevator (spoiler).

The moment I knew I wanted to become an author: When I was sneaking Stephen King books out of the library, age ten, and reading them by flashlight after lights out. I knew then that I wanted to thrill readers and to be a storyteller.

Hardback, paperback, ebook or audiobook: There is nothing quite like hardcover, but I also adore audio books and listen to them often. E books are really handy for travel. No matter how they reach the reader, it is the author’s words that count.

The last book I read: Women Crime Writers - Four Suspense Novels of the 1940s edited by Sarah Weinman. I’m currently on In A Lonely Place by Dorothy B Hughes, though all four novels are chillingly excellent.

Favorite decade in fashion history: The 1940s, for the ‘make do and mend’ ethos, strong shouldered suits, slinky femme fatale dresses and Fighting Red lipstick.

My signature drink: Corpse Reviver #2. One of these beauties can raise the dead, though too many will put you in the grave.

Favorite artist: Frida Kahlo, always.
