Question - Other than the obvious holiday traditions, have you ever included any personal or family traditions/customs in your stories?
I wouldn’t call it a family tradition, but my first book, Murder, Madness & Love, was initially called Murder on the 14th. I used my anniversary date of February 14th in the story and the ceremony itself.
I also interviewed my husband about certain things and put most of his answers in the book too. Like the type of car, he'd love to own.
And, yes, I used the same car to kill my character's husband.
My husband still tells everyone I killed him off in the first chapter, and that I continue to do so in every book!

For a corpse, he looks terrific! But the best part is he lets me read him all my stories and books. Although he read the first book himself. That one, he refused to read or hear until it was published.
Do you use personal life episodes
in your writing?
