Welcome to the virtual book tour for Beer Money, sponsored by Promotional Book Tours. Today, author Dani Amore is giving us a chance to get to know her and her work a little bit better. Thanks for stopping by!
What was the inspiration behind 'Beer Money'?
A love of beer. A passion for Milwaukee. And an obsession with history..
Which characters spoke to you the most during the writing process?
Burr
Ashland speaks directly from my soul. He's a guy who values his
friends, cares about people, and knows how to have a good time.
If you could turn this into a movie, which actors would you choose to play each role?
Ben Affleck would make a great Burr Ashland. Halle Berry would be perfect as Eve Rochelle.
What kinds of challenges do you face when writing a mystery versus other genres?
The
challenges are always the same: creating characters the reader will
care about, and a story that keeps them turning the pages.
Who are your favorite sleuths written by other authors?
Off the top of my head, I love Harding, as written by Jon Wessel. And Alex McKnight, as written by Steve Hamilton.
What other projects do you have in the works?
I have a new, standalone thriller that will be released soon. And I'm working on the sequel to BEER MONEY, it's called NAKED ALE.
When did you know you wanted to be a writer?
When
I was in 7th grade and I started writing a western that was really a
poor imitation of Louis L'Amour. Back then, I knew I could do better
and I've never stopped trying.
What was it like winning the 2011 Independent Book Award for Crime Fiction?
I was really honored. DEATH BY SARCASM was a book I really believed in. The main character, Mary Cooper, is a woman people either love or hate. Her sarcasm is very caustic and when I was writing the book I had the choice to either tone it down and make her more mainstream, or keep her true to my original vision. I left her as is, and she now has a loyal following.
What is something readers may be surprised to learn about you?
I love to fish. Anywhere, anytime.
Anything else you would like to add?
Just that I love to hear from readers and I answer all of my emails: dani (at) daniamore (dot) com.
Thanks for your time!
Thank you!
