My forthcoming novel, Bone Worship, (Pegasus Books) is about fathers and daughters, mixed cultures, and the mysteries of those we love the most. The book I’m currently working on centers around an 1890s wolf trapper in Montana.

Regarding social media, I wouldn’t rule out incorporating any kind of media into my work, provided it serves the story in some way. The story is always paramount.

Finally, the blog for me functions almost like a high-level version of a journal. The same ideas that I would write about in a journal are there, but the blog is useful as a way of organizing those thoughts and funnelling them into a central theme or topic. It allows a crystalization of thought. From there, you can take that idea anywhere you want, spin it into a specific story or take it to a million different places.

Thanks for the questions!

All best,
Liz

I have a few questions;
What is the subject of your next book?
Do you incorporate social media into your writing?
What does your blog do for your process?

I’m deeply honored and humbled! Thank you for creating such a wonderful forum for thoughts about place and writing.

I’ve never heard anyone describe the writing process quite so beautifully and adequately. I want to print this out and paste it on the wall over my computer and read it again and again.
