L.A. Hider Jones has been writing stories since she was a teenager. While living in the Washington, D.C., area, she consumed as much American history and listened to as much of Beethoven’s music as possible while writing this novel. She even had the rare opportunity to sing the Ninth Symphony’s An die Freude at Lincoln Center’s Avery Fisher Hall in New York  City.  She  currently  lives  in  Las  Vegas,  Nev.  L.A.  is  a  member   of  the  American  Beethoven  Society.  My   Interview   with   Beethoven   is her  first  published novel.
