Interview With Essie

I found this wonderful interview of Essie Summers discussing her work and writing methods. (How I wish we had an audio resource for Betty Neels!) I think the book she references beginning the day before became Autumn in April.

This cover drives me bananas because they
are both giving great face. But her dress (faithfully
recreated from Essie's description in the book) makes her look
like Mrs. Claus is stepping out with a handsome stranger.

Does any writer among the Betties want to share their writing practices?
