Tell us what your book, “The Woman Who Wasn’t Supposed to Survive,” is about!
Sure! Here’s the summary:
She was dead for three years—then a new photograph appeared. A detective reopens an impossible case and follows a trail of buried evidence, dangerous lies, and people who will do anything to keep the past hidden.
What did you love most about writing this book?
I loved building the central mystery around one impossible image and exploring how a single piece of evidence can shatter everything people believed about the past. The most rewarding part was layering the clues so that each answer creates a more unsettling question.
How did you start writing?
I began writing from a fascination with secrets, human motives, and the moment an ordinary life turns dangerous. Stories gave me a way to explore those questions and create tense worlds where readers can investigate the truth alongside the characters.
Tell us a little bit about your self-publishing experience.
Self-publishing has taught me to think like both a storyteller and a publisher. I have learned to develop the manuscript, presentation, cover, book description, and reader outreach as parts of one complete experience while continuing to improve with every release.
What was your biggest challenge in bringing the book to market, and how did you solve it?
The biggest challenge was communicating the book’s tension without revealing its central mystery. I solved it by focusing the campaign on one unforgettable question—she was dead for three years, so how could she appear in a new photograph?—and letting that mystery invite readers into the story.
What's one piece of advice you have for other writers?
Build your story around a question the reader urgently needs answered, then make every chapter deepen that question or change what the reader thinks the answer might be.
Anything else you want folks to know?
I write psychological thrillers, mysteries, suspense, and crime fiction for readers who enjoy cinematic tension, emotional stakes, and unexpected revelations.
