Interview With Author Laura Hern
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m an insurance investigator who writes intriguing, fun, cozy mysteries! Growing up in Texas, I loved murder mysteries and am thrilled to be an author! I’ve written 8 books and can’t wait to start the next one.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Bowling Bodies at Spare Lanes Alley: A Lainey Maynard Cozy Mystery Book 5. In the cold winter, bowling season is a loved time of the year! The story is inspired by real prohibition underground bowling alleys used by criminals in the 1920’s that were located in church basements!
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Yes.. many times my ideas I see as movies in my head. Usually at night, I can hear, see, feel the characters talking and acting – just like I’m watching a movie! I try to write down as many notes a possible. The amazing thing is – no matter how I think the story will end when I begin writing – the characters always lead me in a different direction!
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Agatha Christie, Nancy Drew, Dan Brown and his Robert Langdon character to name a few!
What are you working on now?
New story coming out this – Dumpster Diving at Last Stomp Campground. Based in the Blackhills of South Dakota, this story will keep you guessing! And of course, the Whoopee group is at their finest!
