I had to slip into the Dark Web to get it all right, and that is a frightening, uncomfortable place. Bundy is the first who comes to mind, but Cosby, too, is technically a necrophiliac. The research was fascinating from a clinical perspective, but quite gross, for all that.

Anything you consider too dark or off limits? Sometimes, I hear about incidents in my own community, or through friends and I think: God, it would be so interesting to explore that through fiction. Or someone who wronged you? Would you ever use fiction as revenge? Maybe I have yet to be sufficiently wronged?

On some level, I think all my books are revenge books. We writers are sponges, we soak up everything around us then squeeze it out on the page. As far as topics that are off-limits?

I will not, ever, hurt a cat. And I will put the book down if you do. I accidentally killed a puppy on the first page of my first book, and it haunts me to this day.

Originality and brutality were encouraged and rewarded. Now, I think to the victor go the spoils if you can really make a worthwhile twist.

Which is better.

Are we creating a new generation of victims in unstable women? HMM: Have any of your personal experiences influenced your stories? Can you share how? It was my first time writing my hometown, and my first time broaching LGBT issues, and that was pretty tough, actually!

I am still feeling a bit sensitive about the whole thing. My books deal with a lot of toxic relationships, and those have all been inspired by personal experience. When I wrote it, my kids were teens and the alcohol issue was very present for me. I also use a LOT of local crime in my series books, from the Wooded Rapist to fraud in the police department.

My theory is that in life, there are so many ways to be creepy or despicable. Born in blood, so to speak, by the death of a family member, or a missing sibling, etc. I was very intentional with this in my Taylor Jackson series. I feel very deeply that women are strong, full stop.

Detective Fiction and the Ghost Story

What I want in the crime fiction I read is to see a fresh take or an original approach on a time-honored trope. Gilly Macmillan also does this so well. And her writing is so stunning and layered. What are the differences in writing unlikable men vs.
