1: What is the most productive time
of the day for you to write?
Morning and late at night (when it is
quiet)
2: Do you start your projects writing
with paper and pen or is it all on the computer?
All computer! It is not a
pretty process. I also go back and revise, revise, revise. I put
little '*' all over the place to remind me to complete my thoughts, because I
jump around. I'd have to say I'm a little ADD when I write.
3: What do you draw inspiration from?
I draw inspiration from my life and
my job!
4: Do you set goals for yourself when
you sit down to write such as word count?
Since I've just been writing short
stories, I don't really worry too much about word count. I do set
deadlines, to keep the process moving.
5: Are you a published or a self
published author and how do you come up with your cover art?
I am a
self-published author. I do my own covers.
6: What drives you to choose the
career of being a writer?
My a teacher by day and I love my
job, which is probably a good thing, because I couldn't make a living selling
books. I also enjoy telling stories, and writing is a great way to share
stories with people.
7: Do you own an ebook reading
device?
I do not own a Kindle or a Nook,
however I use Kindle for the iPhone.
8: Who are some of your favorite
authors? What are you reading now?
Sheri Reynolds, Khaled Hosseini, Sara
Gruen, Sandra Dallas are some of my favorites. I also enjoy James
Patterson, Janet Evanovich and John Grisham for quick reads.
Right now I am reading Whiter Than
Snow by Sandra Dallas
9: What do you think of book trailers
and do you have any plans to have any?
Honestly, I have no idea what a
book trailer is! If it is like a movie trailer, I don’t see that
happening in the near future. Putting a cover together was challenging
enough!
10: What are you working on now that
you can talk about?
I am working on another collection of
short stories, featuring Maggie Mortin. This time the short stories take
place during the school year.
