Jean Henry Mead Interviews her character, Sarah
Murder on the Interstate
Author: Sarah, why is it that you and Dana are always
stumbling over bodies?
Sarah: They don’t call us murder magnets for nothing.
Author: It’s a pretty gruesome hobby, don’t you think?
Sarah: And expensive. Dana wrecked two motorhomes and two
Hummers since the series started.
Author: Why two Hummers?
Sarah: You should know. You wrote the plot.
Author: I don’t plan plots in advance. I just sit down and
type as fast as I can to keep up with you two. And you get into some of the
darndest situations.”
Sarah: I was sound asleep when Dana stopped the motorhome
along 1-40 in northern Arizona when that Mercedes convertible went off the
road. I didn’t tell her to stop.
Author: I know. You stayed in the motorhome when the
trucker,” Big Ruby” McCurdy stopped to help. Why didn’t you go with them to investigate.
Sarah: It was pouring down rain.
Author: You’re not the wicked witch of the West. You
wouldn’t have melted.
Sarah: Somebody had to stay in the motorhome when the killer
shot out the tires.”
Author: Why?
Sarah: So I could report what the killer looks like. You’re
a mystery writer. You should know that.
Author: You’re getting awfully snippy in your old age,
Sarah.
Sarah: Looks who’s talking. You’re not exactly a spring chicken yourself.
Author: I think I’d rather speak to your friend Dana.
Sarah: She’s recuperating from that whiplash she suffered
when the killer’s truck hit the back of our Escalade. She’s not too happy with
you right now.
Author: All in a day’s work. The Logan & Cafferty
mystery/suspense series would be awfully boring if I allowed you two widows to
sit around knitting.
Sarah: What have you got planned for us in your next murder
mystery?
Author: I guess we’ll all have to wait to find out.
