Emily Kimelman, A Writer Abroad
Name: Emily Kimelman
Where do you live? No set address.
What is your main artistic practice? Fiction Writing.
What brought you to Costa Rica?
I came to Costa Rica to write the first draft of the 6th book in my Sydney Rye series. My series features a strong female protagonist and her rescue dog, Blue. Sydney Rye is recommended for the 18+ who enjoy some violence, don’t mind dirty language, and are up for a dash of sex. Not to mention an awesome, rollicking good mystery!
Each book takes place in a different location around the world. The first one was in New York where I conceived of the series and wrote UNLEASHED (A Sydney Rye Novel, #1). The follow up novella and third novel both take place in Mexico and the Caribbean specifically St. Thomas where my father was brought up and where I got married. The fourth book, STRINGS OF GLASS, is set in India where I lived for a couple of months last winter. The fifth book, THE DEVIL’S BREATH, which is coming out in April, takes place in Miami and the Everglades.
I find that it helps if I live in my books location while I write the first draft. I like settling in somewhere for a couple of months and seeing what shows up. Costa Rica is the perfect setting for the adventure I’m working on.
What are you working on next?
Besides the new novel, I’m also turning my series into audiobooks. This March I’m hosting a contest to pick the Voice of Sydney Rye. You can vote on my website HERE. If you have never read Sydney Rye don’t worry. The first book is free. You can download it anywhere that ebooks are sold, see how Sydney sounds in your head, and then vote.
