On episode 31 of the WRITER 2.0 Podcast, I spoke with J.A. Jance, bestselling author of over 50 books and the American Guest of Honor at Bouchercon 2014.
We spoke about:
- getting turned down for a creative writing program because she was a woman;
- the writing affirmation she built into her early computer;
- writing her first 3 books between 4 and 7 a.m. as a single mom;
- her run in with a serial killer;
- what she learned about storytelling on Tohono O’Odham reservation;
- her personal favorite of all of her books;
- why she often doesn’t “know who the killer is until we get there.”
