Tiffany Austin is visiting Ascroft, eh? to tell us about A Dish Best Served Dead, the latest novel in the Tiffany Austin Food Blogger mystery series.

Welcome, Tiffany. Let’s get started, shall we?

Tell us about the novel that you live inside. Is it part of a series? If so, please tell us about the series too. 

A DISH BEST SERVED DEAD is the third in the Tiffany Austin Food Blogger series.  Tiffany is an ex-chef who moved back to her hometown of Branson Georgia after a breakup and took a job as a food blogger on a magazine.  She just can’t seem to NOT get involved in a good mystery!

Does the writer control what happens in the story or do you get a say too?  

Oh, I definitely get a say. Lots of times my ‘voice’ takes over and supplants what the writer originally had in mind.

How did you evolve as the main character?  I started out that way LOL.

Do you have any other characters you like sharing the story with? If so, why are you partial to them?

I’m partial to my BFF, Hilary, who helps me quite a lot and, of course, with my current flame, Detective Phil Bartell.

What’s the place like where you find yourself in this story?

It’s a food convention called “Foodie Fest” and for an ex-chef, it’s an exciting place, all these different food samples to taste!  Too bad a murder had to ruin it!

Is there anything else you’d like to tell readers about you and the book?

I think readers will enjoy the food descriptions and watching me piece the clues together!
