It requires a good soda bread and perhaps a nip of Irish whiskey! I enjoyed your joint interview and loved the mash-up you did on your Wickeds blog. Any holiday is good for a story in my world. One that seems to be overlooked is one we in the Southwest relish, Cinco de Mayo. Lots of possibilities for a fun story there. Oh and since we are on a Southwestern theme, how about Dia de los Muertos? Now, that just cries out for a mystery! Look forward to reading both books soon.
