It’s a big week for USA Today bestselling author C.J. Carmichael, as her latest stand-alone mystery, Tangle of Lies, releases May 16. We’re also celebrating the special anniversary release of her wildly popular Twisted Cedars Mysteries titles: Buried, Forgotten, and Exposed.
Buried alone has 21,000 reviews on Amazon, with the majority of those five-star ratings. So for those fans, we sat down with C.J. for some behind-the-scenes secrets:
Q. Share a moment when you were scared while writing your book.
A. In Buried, there is a scene where Jamie is out in the forest on her own, running from danger but possibly also running to danger. That got my blood pumping!
Q: What situation turns you into the biggest scaredy-cat?
A: I hate looking out a window if I’m alone in the dark at night. I’m afraid there will be a face looking back at me!
Q: What secret have you kept hidden—until now?
A. Oh no. You’re not going to break me this easily.
