In three words, what can readers expect from After Life ?ĭo you judge books by their covers? What’s your favorite cover?Ī beautifully designed cover catches the eye and intrigues the reader to pick it up. So much has changed since I wrote the book in 2003 and I wanted the Blue Bloods world to reflect that. I just missed those characters so much and I had an idea to bring them into 2021. I got an idea on how to do it again, and so I pitched it to my editor and she loved it. It had been several years since I had wrapped up the series, and it felt like the right time to go back. What inspired you to write After Life ? What was it like to return to this series? When they showed me this cover I felt weak in the knees! It’s gorgeous! I can’t even remember if I had one note for tweaks. I have cover approval but I leave all the brainstorming and creative thinking about the cover to the experts!
