The Last Bridge Across Mostar follows an American accused of spying in Bosnia as she risks everything to protect the war orphans caught in the middle of the battle. What was the inspiration for the setup of your story?

I had been following the war and writing feature articles about it when I awakened in the night and heard my characters Katrina and Lucien speaking so clearly that I grabbed a pen and began writing their story.

What character did you enjoy writing for? Was there one that was more challenging to write for?

I tend to become attached to my characters. I loved writing about Katrina, Lucien, and the children but became just as caught up in the other characters’ stories. Vita’s story was one of the most challenging to write.

What kind of research did you do for this novel to ensure you captured the essence of the story’s theme?

I talked to people, read books and diaries on the war and the individuals involved, and watched videos.

What is the next book that you are working on, and when can your fans expect it to be out?

I am working on three books now, two suspense novels and a natural foods cookbook. I hope to have one of these published in 2025.
