In this episode, I take a tea break to chat with author Meredith Doench about her newest book, “Whereabouts Unknown.” It’s also her first standalone thriller, so we talk about making the transition from series books to a standalone, her inspiration for the novel, how she does research and selects themes, and more.

I first met Meredith through the Dayton, Ohio writing community and now serve with her on the board of the Midwest Chapter of Mystery Writers of America (MWA). She’s always interesting to talk with, and I know you’ll discover that too as you listen in on our chat!
