Lorraine Bartlett / Lorna Barrett / L.L. Bartlett Interview

July 7, 2014

Oh my gosh! Pardon me as if I gush, but I just posted my Lorraine Bartlett / Lorna Barrett / L.L. Bartlett interview. I have got to tell you, every time I do an interview with a Cozy Mystery author, I am happily surprised by how nice they are, and how gracious they are with their time.

Lorraine Bartlett writes the  Victoria Square Mystery Series. This series features Katie Bonner, a young widow who is an artisan co-op member.  Lorna Barrett pens the Booktown Mystery Series, and stars Tricia Miles, owner of the Haven’t Got a Clue Mystery bookstore. (In a nod to classic Cozies, Miss Marple is not only a character in some of the bookstore’s shelves, she’s also the name of Tricia’s cat.) And, as L.L. Bartlett she writes the Jeff Resnick Mystery Series. Jeff is an insurance investigator who, after being mugged, developed a “sixth sense” which helps him solve mysteries.

I hope you ALL enjoy this Lorraine Bartlett/Lorna Barrett/L.L. Bartlett Interview. Go fix yourself a cup of tea, click on the highlighted link, sit back, and enjoy what this very popular Cozy Mystery author has to say! I think you’ll find it interesting!

P.S.  Since two Cozy Mystery readers have just told me about these great prices for L.L. Bartlett’s Kindle books right now, I thought I would go ahead and add them to this entry.

      Deb, thank you. I’m always skeptical about asking best-selling authors to give up their time to answer my questions, and am always grateful when they do!

    I’m excited to see another interview!

    It’s so wonderful that Lorraine Bartlett took the time to give us a glimpse at her creative process.

      Stephanie, I totally agree with you about giving up her time. I love to find out about their days, and how they find the time to write so many good mysteries…

    Thanks for the great interview, very interesting reading! I love the Victoria Square series, wish there were more of them. Been meaning to read the Booktown series, but never got to them yet. The other series is just not my speed.

    Interesting what her writing process is. Most authors seem to write in the morning, but she is just the opposite.

    I really like the interview feature on the site. Please keep them coming!

      Martine, I thought that was really interesting, also. Also, I enjoyed hearing about how she was able to let Dark Waters sort of just flow out of her. To be able to just sit down and let a book sort of dictate itself must by a real gift.

    Funny the things we cozy writers have in common LOL! In my current Work in Progress, here in No. 4 of the series a sort of minor character comes out and has a lot of adventures and action, I’m enjoying writing it as much as the character is ‘living’ it LOL.
    Happy reading and writing to all of us,
    Jackie

      Jackie, I think it’s really neat to hear that characters sort of have lives of their own.

    Great interview and one of my favorite cozy mystery writers. I have read two of her series and love them both. Wasn’t aware of the third one so I’ll have to give it a try.

      Donna, I’m glad you enjoyed her interview, and am also happy that you discovered the Jeff Resnick series. (I’m just guessing that’s the one you were unaware of…)

      Karen L, thank you! I’m in the middle of getting my July Cheap Kindle (& Nook) Mystery Books together right now. I’m hoping to get it up in the next few days.

      Thanks, again!

    Fascinating review, Danna! She sounds like an interesting person, and I liked the insights into her life as a novelist.

    What’s really cool (at least for me) is that all the Jeff Resnick books are set in the Buffalo, NY area, where I live. It is always startling to read names of streets and towns that you can visualize exactly where the characters are located – like Bartlett GPS!
