In this week’s episode of The Bookshop at the End of the Internet, author Liz Tolsma discusses her new book, The Green Dress. It is a romantic suspense novel based on the true crimes of Sarah Jane Robinson in Massachusetts in the 1880s. Mrs. Robinson poisoned several family members to collect on their insurance policies. Liz takes Mrs. Robinson’s crimes and weaves them into her own thrilling tale as part of Barbour Publishing’s True Color Crime series. This is Liz’s second novel for the True Color Crime series. Her first, The Pink Bonnet, was a mystery based on events involving the Tennessee Children’s Home Society in 1932. Liz draws inspiration for her books from true life stories, whether they are true crimes for her suspense novels or her own family’s stories for her WWII fiction. In all of her books, Liz loves to incorporate suspense, action and mystery, along with a touch of romance. In this episode, Liz discusses her writing journey, how her work as an editor has influenced her own writing and how she enjoyed researching and writing The Green Dress so much that it convinced her to write more—and she has now has more true crime stories on the way.
