So a couple of years ago, I started to write what I know.Ģ. I’ve also heard from other writers that this is terrible advice. One that stuck with me is write what you know. It was no surprise to me when I sat down to write the first word of the series: “A campground?”, that it had to be in the Daniel Boone National Park.Ī million times over I’ve heard different advice from various writers. The park is Kentucky, which is where I live and all of my novels are set. We’d rented a camper and did a great it of traveling as well as rented a lot of cabins in the woods.Īfter each trip, I found myself in my she-shed (yes, I had a she-shed) writing away in a new series, A CAMPER & CRIMINALS COZY MYSTERY SERIES that was set deep in the Daniel Boone National Park, which is a place I’m very well acquainted with. Ask anyone who has met me in person, but a couple of years ago I started find peace in nature. I’ve always fancied myself as an extrovert.

In case you’d not guessed, I’m talking about me, the girl who was awarded the senior award of MOST TALKATIVE.

Not social distancing or the virus, the extrovert writer realizing that she’s actually an introvert.


It all started a couple of years ago really. Y’all, this is some very uncertain times and as a writer who is an extrovert, this whole social distancing thing has been a huge learning curve to me as well as me as a writer. Today she’s talking about finding the silver lining in the pandemic cloud…take it away, Tonya! Hey readers! Liz here, happy to welcome our dear friend Tonya Kappes, author of the Camper & Criminals Cozy Mystery Series back to the blog.
