Tule Author Q&A: Candace Havens loves chocolate chip cookies!

Candace Havens stopped by the Tule blog to discuss the fifth book in her Ainsley McGregor series, A Case for the Cookie Baker!

 

This is the fifth book in your Ainsley McGregor series. Do you find it harder to write the first book in a series or the subsequent novels?

The only problem with the Ainsley books is there are so many fun characters and I want them all to be in every story. So whittling them down to who is most important for that book, is hard. I feel like I’m dissing my friends. 

What has been your favorite part about writing stories set in Sweet River?

I love, love, love writing these books. These characters are real to me and I created a town where I would want to live––sans the murders.

 

In your Ainsley McGregor series, Ainsley owns the shop Bless Your Art. Have you ever dreamed of owning a shop like this? What would you sell?

I would love to have a shop like this. And I have thought about having a store like this that also sold books and coffee. Who would want to leave?

 

In honor of the title, A Case for the Cookie Baker, what’s your favorite type of cookie?

In honor of the title, A Case for the Cookie Baker, what’s your favorite type of cookie? I’m very good at eating cookies, not so great at baking them. I love ALL the cookies. But I’ve been a big fan of chocolate chip since childhood. I like them soft and gooey. Now I want cookies. Cookies On Square White Ceramic Plate

 

What are you currently reading?

Growing Boldly by Emily Ley. I love her organizers. They are the only thing that keeps me on track.

  1. Sweet River does sound like a great place to live. At least we can visit through your books. It’s just 6 in the morning here and now I am craving chocolate chip cookies
