1.
What made
you start writing and which subject matter do you enjoy the most?
As a child, I
have always loved to write. Back then, it was normally mysteries and they
always starred Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys! I always had an imagination that
seemed to take me many different places and even more scenarios. Through the
years, I slowly veered away from writing and put it neatly on a shelf. It’s only
been these last few years and writing with other people that had a passion with
words that spurred and revived my passion for writing.
I enjoy
writing fiction the most. It’s easier to let your imagination take over and
just take you along for the ride.
2.
Is there
anything that you write about that can be controversial?
I currently
have a WIP that is a very touchy topic regarding a young woman who is working
hard to survive her past of sexual abuse, Behind
the Mask. Broaching the subject of any type of abuse is hard and the writer
certainly has to tread carefully.
3.
What
inspires you to write and how often do you do it?
I am a mother
of four and a single parent half of the month so writing time is certainly a
rare commodity in my household. I take whatever down time I can, when I can. As
for my inspiration, it could be anything. A song, a picture or just a
statement; it could be anything and at times it could be at the most opportune
times.
4.
If you
could only take one book with you for the next year what would it be and why?
I’m going to
say something that probably not a lot of people would say—my bible. I am a firm
believer that the bible is my roadmap for my daily life.
5.
Is there a
particular character of yours that you like more than the rest?
Well that’s a
no brainer for me. It’s Dragos Cruentus. He is the epitome of strength and
power. I love everything about him that he possesses in my mind. The tattoo’s
the potty mouth.
6.
Who is
your favorite fictional character and why?
Hmmm,
favorite fictional character? I don’t have an all-time person that I favor over
the most so perhaps I’ll go with my current read, The Mercenary by Johanna Rae and the character is Daniel Archer. He
cracks me up laughing and makes me swoon over and over again. The chemistry that
he possesses between himself and Jodie sizzles up the pages. Just absolutely
love who he is in the book and love reading him.
7.
What age
did you start reading, did you have a favorite childrens book?
As a pre-teen
I read the R.L. Stine books. None stuck out in particular, I just loved the
edge the book offered.
8.
What's the
best part of being an author?
The best part
of being an author? Goodness! Hmm. I would have to say that it keeps me from
losing my mind in the madness of a busy family. It gives me this amazing outlet
to completely run wild with. I can be anyone. I can go anywhere. And the best
part? I can do all that without spending one penny. It’s the ultimate escape!
9.
If your
current book (published or work in progress) could become a movie who would
star in it?
My current
WIP that is currently barely started is my A Cruentus Novel: Book 2 Unnamed
showcasing Dragos Cruentus. From the moment he was in my head his face was always
David Beckham. So if it ever went to the
big screen, David Beckham. It was always something about him that screamed
Dragos at me. Albeit, perhaps it was the tattoos or maybe it was that sinful
smirk that he just seemed to nail down like I had it envisioned.
10. Where do you see yourself in 5 years from now, writing wise?
I would love
to say I envision myself being a bestselling author topping the charts on the
New York’s best seller list in five years but in all honesty, I haven’t thought
that far ahead. It’s one step at a time, one voice at a time. Now don’t get me
wrong, if and when that does happen...I’ll be elated.
Final Thoughts?
Not all writers are famous and I think if you set out in a writing career
with the thoughts of “I’m going to be famous” you may disappoint yourself. Not
everyone will get lucky like E.L. James or Stephanie Meyer and the list goes
on. I’m not saying you won’t but chances are it won’t come overnight. You have
to write because that’s what you love to do; because you can’t imagine doing
anything else than that. Passion breeds creativity.
