Jay Gilbertson says he began dabbling in the mysterious world
of novel-writing while running his hair salon in NE Minneapolis. Though
a voracious reader, he noticed that he had a large client base of
single, beautiful, successful women who were not looking for a
companion.
They were content being single and many had forged
strong relationships with their friends who really were family. Jay
felt there was not enough in the literary world that supported this and
set about to create a series.
Full Moon Over Madeline Island, though easily enjoyed as a stand-alone novel, is the third in his series.
And yes, he says, there will be more.
Last week Jay was interviewed in the Huffington Post,
and he also joined me this week on Madeline Island, for our week-long
book-writing retreat. Here are some insights on how he brings his
quirky characters to the page.
