Sara Rosett’s Literary Soundtrack

July 3rd, 2006 by Michelle

Next stop on the Girlfriends’ Cyber Circuit: Sara Roset, author of Moving is Murder, which involves air force life and domestic rerouting.
The soundtrack to your latest book (what did you listen to while you were writing it?):

Silence. I’m one of those people who have to have it quiet when I write, so no music for me! Well, I take that back. I listened to the muted sounds of kid’s television as I wrote. As long as I was in another room from the TV I managed to churn out quite a few words with the credits of Barney and Arthur playing in the background.

One song title (from any album) that would make a great book title:

Suspicious Minds—lots of possibilities for murder motives and subplots!

About the book: Air Force wife and new mom Ellie Avery has moving down to a science. But even a professional organizer can make a few tiny mistakes. Ellie is an ace at moving. A professional organizer, she plans ahead, packs efficiently, and even color-codes the boxes. Moving four times in five years has honed her considerable skills. But unpacking with a newborn daughter, record-breaking heat wave, and the realization that their dream neighborhood is known as Base Housing East is enough to make her turn to chocolate for comfort. But then Ellie’s well-ordered life spins even deeper into chaos when she suspects a friend’s death wasn’t an accident, but murder.
