At the moment, I'm thinking I would like to travel with Odysseus back from Troy. Would try not to get eaten by monsters, however.

Hi, Carol. Thanks for asking. I go through "spells" where I love different authors. But if you like mysteries and haven't read Anne Perry, I'd say check out her Inspector Monk or Charlotte and Thomas Pitt mysteries. I've read them all!

Hi, Cayla! At the moment, I'm working on a novel that takes place on the first trans-continental railroad, in 1870. Two young women meet on the train and wind up very far from where they intended to go! Thanks for asking.

Haha. Sure - I'll post it later today on my website, jodidaynard.com! It is DELISH. I think there are readings groups that have made it.

Hi, Stephanie - as it just so happens, that's what the next novel in the trilogy is about. In it, Eliza recounts her childhood in Cambridge, her stay in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, how she falls in love with John Watkins, and...everything after that. Hopefully, it will be out next spring! I'll be posting updates here, on my FB author page, and on my website, jodidaynard.com. Thanks for asking!
Update: Since you asked this question, book 2 has been scheduled for FEBRUARY 2016 publication.

Reading A Midwife's Tale by Laurel Thatcher Ulrich. I wondered, "What if a midwife realized that someone she came to tend had died unnaturally?"

If you need to write, then you'll have the tenacity it takes to become good and/or successful at it. If you don't need to write, the whole messy enterprise may not be for you.

Fulfilling my need to be creative.

I don't get it, because I'm always working from an outline.
