Nita Prose: The Mystery Guest

Nita Prose joins Carol Fitzgerald to talk about THE MYSTERY GUEST, which is a follow-up to THE MAID. Like her first book, her latest is a Bookreporter Bets On selection. Nita shares the challenges of writing a second novel featuring the same character and how she worked to be sure that the story here was as strong as what she delivered in THE MAID. She explains what this book reveals about her character Molly's background while still moving the story forward. There also is discussion about including a mystery writer and his fans in the novel. While Nita has been the Editorial Director at Simon & Schuster Canada, she talks about why she chose to step down from this position to be a full-time writer.
