Five Big Questions: Jessa Maxwell

Plus four things that brought me joy this week.

Welcome to this week’s installment of Five Big Questions, the short interview series where awesome people share a bit about who they are and what moves them.

Today’s guest is Jessa Maxwell, author of the novel The Golden Spoon, a cozy mystery about a murder on the set of a baking show. It’s like Clue meets The Great British Bake-Off, with a cast of quirky and lovable characters a la Knives Out. (I loved it, as I mentioned here.) Jessa lives in Jamestown, Rhode Island with her husband, two cats, and three-legged dog.

Here’s Jessa, in her own words.
