With the book being part of a series, are there any
character or story arcs, that readers jumping in somewhere other than the first
book, need to be aware of? Can these books be read as stand alones?
While my books are numbered in chronological order I don’t
think they have to be read that way. It’s something I worked on really hard
actually. I feel it’s important for readers to pick up any book and be sucked
into Sydney’s world without wondering what the f happened in the last one.
When did you consider yourself a writer?
I considered myself a writer once I sat down and wrote every
day. I felt that to finish my first book, to be ballsey enough to write fiction
for a “living”, I needed to take it seriously from the start. I figured a
writer is one who writes so if I wrote a set number of words each day then,
dosh garnet, I was a writer.
What are your guilty pleasures in life?
drugs, drink, and food.
Other than writing, what are some of your interests,
hobbies or passions in life?
My husband and I are big travelers. He proposed to me in JFK
long term parking (get it?). We promised each other that the trip we were about
to embark on was just the beginning of many adventures. Right now we are in
India for two months, when we return to the States we’ll be driving cross
country with a friend who is moving to San Fransico, then we’ll put our boat
back in the water and roam the Hudson River for a couple of months.
I also love to cook. Especially pasta, bolognese is my
specialty. I’m not great with complicated recipes but if it calls for standing
over a big pot and stirring then I’m your woman.
Where is your favorite place to read? Do you have a
cozy corner or special reading spot?
I love reading on the foredeck of my trawler, OUR WAY, where
Sean and I live in the summers. I can lean against the front windows,
stretching my legs out straight. Kinsey, my dog, usually comes and cuddles up.
There is almost always a breeze and I have a big hat to block the sun from my
face. Whenever a boat pulls into the marina I look up and wave then dive back
into the world of make believe.
Did you find anything really interesting while
researching this or another book?
Yes! Check out this video about Baboons kidnapping feral
puppies and raising them as pets. Amazing!
What can readers expect next from you?
I’m working on another Sydney Rye mystery right now. Parts
of it take place in India (where I’m living for the next two months while I
write the first draft) and Dan is one of the starring characters. Sydney is
going to have to face not only corruption and injustice but also her own
intimacy issues thanks to Dan’s persistent hotness.
Where can readers find you on the web?
I’m on Twitter (@ejkimelman), Facebook,
Instagram, and my website where I blog about
my travels and the Sydney Rye series.
Do
you have a formula for developing characters? Like do you create a character
sketch or list of attributes before you start writing or do you just let the
character develop as you write?
I will
often interview my characters in free write form. The scene in DEATH AND THE
DARK where Sydney’s trainer, Merl, explains how he ended up as a dog expert
came from one of those free writes. It was about a thousand times longer and
less coherent but Merl’s story grew from me setting a timer and refusing to
remove my fingers from the keyboard until it rang.
Do you have any weird writing quirks or rituals?
One of the things I strive for is to be able to work
anywhere. I’ve been whittling down on my “must haves.” Basically, all I need
now is either a computer or paper and pen/pencil. In a pinch I can even use my
phone. Because I’m always on the move I can’t be too picky about my environment
for writing. Often, I luck out like now when I’m sitting on a friend’s Veranda
in Goa, India with my feet in the sun. But I’ve also been squished between
giants in economy class and managed to pen a couple thousand words.

Book Description:
INSATIABLE is the third novel in my Sydney Rye Series of dark murder mysteries. This series feature a strong female protagonist and her canine best friend. It is recommended for the 18+ who enjoy some violence, don't mind dirty language, and are up for a dash of sex. Not to mention an awesome, rollicking good mystery!
INSATIABLE begins with private detective Sydney Rye living a simple, disciplined life in London, but when a dangerous man from her past calls, Rye finds she cannot turn him away. Robert Maxim explains that the daughter of a powerful friend has gone missing and he wants Rye to find her. In exchange he offers her something she had given up hope of ever having; freedom from her past.
With her dog, Blue, at her side, Rye meets up with her new partner, a handsome man she's not sure she can trust. Heading for Mexico City, they go undercover, posing as husband and wife. After meeting with the bereaved parents, Rye starts to sense that there is more going on than just a missing girl. But it isn't until they arrive in the Yucatan Peninsula, hot on the girl's trail in Paradise, that all hell breaks loose. Sydney has to reach out for help from old friends and deal with the consequences of her past, if she's going to find the girl and keep them all alive.
