I write author's notes at the back of each book that talk about my inspiration for writing those particular novels.

The sequel to our bestselling mystery THE AGATHAS is out now! It's called THE NIGHT IN QUESTION and you can pick it up anywhere. My next solo book is out in fall 2024 :)

Some recent books I have loved include The Lucky Ones, by Liz Lawson; What Happened to Ali Greenleaf, by Hayley Krischer; anything by Amber Smith or Tiffany Jackson. Please read reviews for possible trigger warnings.

I think if you'd like your writing to improve, you need to read a lot, and read widely--different things. Poetry, plays. If you mostly read fantasy, try some contemporary reads. I don't think you need to write every day, but writing is a muscle--emotional, physical, intellectual--and needs to be exercised. I hope that makes sense!

I discuss my experience with SH in the author's note of the book.

I think about writing a prequel or a sequel all the time. It might happen someday! In the meantime, I have a second book, How to Make Friends With the Dark, that explores grief, and and a new book You'd Be Home Now, out in September 2021 that explores addiction and recovery.

No, it does not mean this. Her mother made a video for Tiger explaining events in her life for Tiger to view later. Her mother does not die by suicide.

Louisa is a character that reflects a certain mindset. Her ideas are her own and belong to her character. A book of her journals would be very interesting!

I can't take any credit for helping people, but I am glad that the stories I write have resonated with readers and perhaps made them feel more seen, less alone :)
Kathleen Glasgow
It's simply the thing I love doing the most in the world. That said, there are days when I don't write because I need and want to do other things. Sometimes you have to give yourself some breathing time :)
Kathleen Glasgow
That would certainly be something! You never know...
Kathleen Glasgow
Never say never...

I have! I don't know if I have particular thoughts about the changes, except maybe ones that are influenced by my own nostalgia for a particular place and time. There are things I miss (the grungier aspects of the way it used to be), but neighborhoods change and new memories are made by the people inhabiting those spaces. Tucson will always be a special place for me. It appears in Girl in Pieces, How to Make Friends With the Dark, and an upcoming book.

Sometimes it takes a while to figure out how to live the life we want :)
Kathleen Glasgow
Thanks for reading How to Make Friends With the Dark! It isn't based on a true story, but grief over losing my mother and sister played a part in how I wrote the book.
Kathleen Glasgow
Ellis is in a long-term care facility.
Kathleen Glasgow
Yes, I did. I talk about this in the author's note for Girl in Pieces.
Kathleen Glasgow
I think the best answer is to read a lot and to keep writing. No one is going to write the story you want to tell except you! I know it's hard to sit down and write, but you can do it. I believe you have a story in you that is bigger than your fear. Good luck!
