Lisa Gardner has written over 30 books with 2.2 million in print. They have been translated into 30 languages. She said she has always been an avid reader and as a child spent many hours in her local library. She called it a "candy story". Growing up in a small community, books opened the world to her. (Nancy Drew was a favorite)
Her normal routine while writing a book is that she writes Monday - Friday early in the morning. Her dogs love that she gets up early as they like to have breakfast at 4:30 am. Often she and a dog will go hiking near her home in New Hampshire and while hiking she is always thinking about murder, how to solve it and who did it. She said she was not good writing about sex but she was excellent in writing about violence. (Should we be worried?)
In the latest edition of the New York Times Book Review page, "Look For Me" is #2 under Fiction Combined and #2 for Fiction E-Books.
What a wonderful evening and it was so delightful to meet Lisa Gardner!
