Johnny asked Tami Hoag:

How does the northern weather that provides the environment for your stories have an influence on your story arcs?

Tami Hoag Interesting question! When I write about Minnesota --especially when the book is set in wintertime--the weather is really like another character, and I can manipulate it in ways that influence the story. There's nothing like an ill-timed storm or a vicious arctic cold snap to ratchet up tension. One thing about NIGHT SINS that people always commented on was that every chapter stated the temperature and windchill factor that established the setting and reminded them that the bad guy wasn't the only danger in the story.

Hi, I love your work :D Any plans for more Elena Estes books? I love her complicated character. And the fact that the setting is in FL is a big plus. Also anymore Liska/Kovac books in the works? Keep up all the excellent work. Looking forward to reading more. The Oak Knoll series is also awesome. :)

Barbara asked Tami Hoag:

How often do you do booksignings in Tennessee? I live in Nashville and would love to get a signed copy of any one of your books and shake your hand. I've read a few of your books but I will have them all read before the end of winter. Thank you.

Wendy Forester asked Tami Hoag:

I know you struggle to finish writing under a deadline. Does the deadline truly help or just rush your story? Do you write outside or just at a desk? When you write, do you have an ending already set, or do your characters evolve and change the ending? ( I love your writing style and I can't wait for more of your books in my future)
