Alone Writing Detective Series with author Abbi Waxman

This week we are joined by Abbi Waxman. Abbi is a chocolate-loving, dog-loving woman, who lives in Los Angeles and lies down as much as possible. She worked in advertising for many years, which is how she learned to write fiction. She has three daughters, a dog, four cats, a snake and a pigeon. Deadly Does It is Abbi's eight novel, and her second mystery. In this episode, Abbi Waxman discusses her background, from growing up in Bath and moving between the UK, New York, and California to finding her way from advertising into novel writing. It also explores how her creative path was shaped by family, sobriety, and the changing publishing landscape, especially her shift into writing mysteries and the appeal of stories where order can be restored. Overall, it’s a candid, reflective episode about reinvention, creative persistence, and finding humor and meaning in a messy life.
