When I first met Laine Cunningham she had recently returned from six months camping alone in the Australian Outback, one of the most rugged regions on earth. She told me an Aussie man had once considered what she had done and declared it to be “not bad for a sheila.” Laine applies that same adventurous nature to all of her work, both as a writing consultant and in her own amazingly-crafted suspense novels. I sat down with her recently to talk about writing and the business of publishing.
