To Other Authors

– What are the three MOST important pieces of advice you would give to a brand new author?

• Write, write and write-then submit, also join a writer’s group, and get a website, even before you are published!

– What’s your favorite way to advertise?

• Twitter and Goodreads.com. My blog, too.

– What hard-knock lesson did the publishing world teach you (can be your own experience or someone else’s that you learned from)?

• That you must have a tough skin as you will get rejections.

For the Readers

– What are you reading, if anything, at the moment?

• Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters—for review for a zine.

– Do you prefer ebooks or print for your reading pleasure?

• I enjoy both.

– Name three of your all-time-favorite, read-them-over-and-over books.

• The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson, Something Wicked This way Comes by Ray Bradbury, and Wuthering Heights.

Idle Curiosity Compels Me to Ask

– What inspired you to be a writer?

• I always wanted to be since I was eight-years-old. Guess I read books and wanted to make stories like those.

– What do you do immediately after finishing a manuscript?

• Completely-after editing too? Kick back and relax. Then go on to next writing project.

– Do you talk to your characters or your muse or both?

• More like, they talk to me. Demand their stories be told
