• Lindas Book Obsession Interviews Susan Furlong

  1. What motivates you or inspires you to write your stories?

  Writing, for me, is a way to make sense of the world. I tend to

  be a bit of a loner, always watching and observing and trying to

  understand what motivates peoples’ actions. The human

  impulses and decisions that arise from conflict fascinate me. I

  write flawed characters who struggle to make moral decisions.

  2. What are your goals or hopes for your readers to take away

  after reading your stories?

  I strive to create memorable characters who captivate and stay

  with my readers long after the story is finished.

  3. Do you ever base any of your characters on significant

  people or acquaintances that you know?

  I pull traits from those around me: a strange quirk from the

  grocery check-out guy; a certain gesture from a friend; a figure

  of speech from a neighbor … but I never put an ‘actual’ person

  in one of my stories. But it’s tempting, because a lot of people I

  know would make intriguing characters.

  4. What are some of your hobbies or interests in your downtime

  that you like to do? (crafts, animals, gardening, etc.)

  In the summer, it’s all about spending time outside with my

  family: hiking, fishing, gardening, kayaking. In the winter, we

  spend the weekends working puzzles and binge-watching

  movies. I’m active in my church and I also like marital arts and

  target shooting. I’m working on a marksman certificate.
  5. Do you have some new books in the works, and if so can

  you tell us a little about what to expect?

  FRACTURED TRUTH, is set to release later this year. It’s the

  second of the Bone Gap Travellers series and goes deeper and

  darker than the first. I think it’s my strongest novel to date. I’m

  currently working on the third book in that series and writing a

  standalone thriller.

  6. What are your favorite genres of books?

  Mysteries of any type, from hardboiled to cozy. I also read a lot

  of biographies and spiritual books.

  7. How would you like your readers to contact you?

  I love to hear from readers!
