Terri Reid Interview





1: What is the most productive time of the day for you to write? 
Early in the morning and late in the evening are my best times - mostly because there are fewer interruptions during those hours.

2: Do you start your projects writing with paper and pen or is it all on the computer? 
When I finally write - it’s all on the computer, but I spend quite a bit of time formulating the story in my head. 

3: What do you draw inspiration from? 
I draw inspiration from everyday life - which might sound weird coming from someone who writes about ghosts. :) But, it’s in everyday life where you really find the heroes of the world. 

4: Do you set goals for yourself when you sit down to write such as word count? 
Yes - I try to write at least 1,000 words a day - but when it’s crunch time, I often go up to 4,000 words a day.

5: Are you a published or a self published author and how do you come up with your cover art? 
I’m self- published novelist, but I’ve been published as a journalist and a magazine writer in national magazines. I love digital photography and have a background in marketing and advertising, so I create my own cover art.

6: What drives you to choose the career of being a writer? 
I think writing chooses you. :) You have these stories in your head that eventually need to come out and be shared. I LOVE watching people read my stories - I love to hear people laugh out loud or tear up - it makes my day!

7: Do you own an ebook reading device? 
I use Kindle on my PC right now - I hope to get my own Kindle soon.

8: Who are some of your favorite authors and what are you reading now? 
Right now, I’m reading Die Already. :) I have many favorite authors - Noel Hynd, Nora Roberts, Stephen King, Louisa May Alcott, Ray Bradbury, Christina Dodd, Jim Butcher, Karen Hawkins, and Dean Koontz.

9: What do you think of book trailers and do you have any plans to have any? 
I think book trailers are really cool, although I don’t know if we’ve discovered whether or not trailers generate more sales. I don’t have plan to create any trailers at this point - mostly because I like my readers to “see” my characters in their own minds, they way they imagine them - not the way I want to impose on them. 

10: How did you come up with the title of your latest book?
 Actually, my sixteen year-old son came up with the name. I was thinking of something else and there were too many books already with that name or a version of it - and he came up with “Good Tidings.” 

11: What are you working on now that you can talk about? 
Sure, I am working on a non-fiction “Everything” book, my third Mary O’Reilly book and a second PRCD (Paranormal Research and Containment Division) book. I’m trying to figure out a way to go without sleep for long periods of time. :)

A Four Star review for DIE ALREADY




4.0 out of 5 stars
Stop teasing us, Kipp! :), November 26, 2010

This review is from: Die Already (Kindle Edition)
The atmosphere is so rich in this short story. The author understands horror. He understands pacing. He's strong with detail. It's great to see the author developing so strongly from work to work. 

My complaint is that this felt like the beginning of a story that I would really want to read - and then it was over! 

Enough short stories. Stop teasing us, and give us a full-length work! ;) 

But for those who enjoy atmosphere and darkness - give this one a shot. You won't be disappointed.
