What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Mission 37?
I enjoy history, historical fiction, and espionage thrillers. I have thought about writing a book for a long time so I finally decided to write a book in the espionage thriller genre with historical figures. As I am a physician, I decided to use the medical angle in the book as it is something that I am familiar with. I also have traveled to several of the countries in the book. I also thought that it would be a fun challenge.
What’s your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?
I enjoy history, both fictional and nonfiction. I also like espionage thrillers from authors like Daniel Silva, Tom Clancy, Steve Berry, and John LeCarre.
What books are on your TBR pile right now?
Death in Cornwall by Daniel Silva; The Chaos Agent by Marc Greaney.
What scene in your book was your favorite to write?
I enjoyed writing the scene where Monroe meets Winston Churchill. I have always admired Churchill and tried to imagine meeting him myself. I also liked writing the final scene at Lake Temagami, as I have spent many summers there.
