Interview with Constance Meccarello-Gerson
What is your favorite part of the book?
The opening chapter where you catch the reader’s interest for the first time in your book.
Does your book have a lesson? Moral?
Yes, remember not all cozies end as expected. A strange ending does not make a strange cozy. And good things that happen to your characters at the end are interesting.
Are your characters based off real people or did they all come entirely from your imagination?
In FRENCH CRUISES CAN KILL YOU, the characters are just created ones. But my next book DEAD IN THE DORM, which will come out in about four or five months, some of my characters will be based on people I knew from 50 plus years ago. I hope no one figures out who!
Of all the characters you have created, which is your favorite and why?
I love Maria she is fearlous and fun and a very witty character.
What character in your book are you least likely to get along with?
Sometimes I have arguments with Joe and Al. I think Al is losing Maria’s love. And Joe is too overprotective.
What would the main character in your book have to say about you?
I think Maria would want me to be stronger and less fearful of new situations.
Do you want each book to stand on its own, or are you trying to build a body of work with connections between each book?
The Hassle High series of which French Cruises Can Kill You is the third book is a series I am trying to continue building.
