Authors Cathy Ace and Alan Orloff stop by First Monday on Authors on the Air

Last night I spoke to Cathy Ace and Alan Orloff on First Monday - my open mic night on Authors on the Air. Here are the things I learned about Cathy, who BTW, is just a hoot and has the best stories to tell. Her first piece of fiction was a short story that she wrote in a parking lot ono Baker Street near M&S (very well-known store in London). She had-wrote it on paper and her friend typed it up and she hand delivered it the next day - the deadline for contest entries. She won and was put into an anthology with some well-known authors like Dick Francis. Cathy has travelled the world and her characters in her mysteries reflect her world view. Cathy is warm, funny and so very friendly. Alan Orloff, who is releasing his new book I KNOW WHERE YOU SLEEP next week. We discussed his work and although I had a blonde moment and commented about Tara Laskowski, he promptly reminded me that it was Art Taylor that was married to Tara. Turns out Alan and Cathy know each other well and both blog for 7 Criminal Minds. I also gave some sage advice to Alan about moving to South Florida (avoid Palmetto bugs, falling iguanas, and other little quirky things that undoubtedly will be inspiration for many more books. Here is our podcast with my gratitude.
