In this interview, I chat with Amy Pease about Northwoods, writing about addiction and how her health care background helped her depict it authentically on the page, why she decided to write a mystery, getting the cover right for the book, the Facebook group Cops and Writers, her research, avoiding drug addiction stereotypes, and much more.\nAmy's recommended reads are:\n\n\nDemon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver\n\n\nDon't Know Tough by Eli Cranor\n\n\nThe Wager by David Grann\n\n\nThe Paleontologist by Luke Dumas\n\n\nThe Spymaster's Lady by Joanna Bourne\n\n\nWant to know which new titles are publishing in January - May of 2024?
