Author Interview:
1. What is your favorite book that is not yours?
My FAVORITE book is probably The Princess Bride by William Goldman
2. Do you write in multiple genres? Which genre is your favorite to
write?
At the moment, I'm only writing regency novels, but I plan to put out a
Western Romance series and possibly a heist trilogy. They're all fun to write,
but any story I dream up always has a huge element of romance involved. So
romance is my favorite.
3. How young were you when you started writing?
The first story I remember writing, I was about fourteen years old. But I was
making up stories and telling them to my sisters at bedtime long before then.
4. If you could meet any author, past or present, who would it be
and why?
I would love to meet L. M. Montgomery. She wrote the Anne of Green
Gables series, and The Blue Castle. Those books were such a huge part of
my childhood and my desire to be a writer. I felt like Anne most of the time,
too. I used big words, I was smart but smart wasn't always good. I'd just love
to chat with her about how much her books meant to me and find out more
about her.
5. How long does it take you to write a book, and what was your
fastest book to write?
I can write a 60,000 word novel in a month. I'm more comfortable with a 6-8
week timeline, though. The fastest book I ever wrote is actually out in the
world, His Bluestocking Bride. I wrote it in a month, but it took me a few
weeks to clean it up after that rush job. And I put it off for almost a year.
6. What is your favorite thing to do in the summertime?
My FAVORITE thing to do in the summer is lay around and be lazy! Isn't
that awful? But the year is always so busy and full. I like slowing life down,
relaxing, making lots of trips to the library and the pool.
I'm really looking forward to reading this book. Plus the author sounds awesome; Princess Bride, Star Wars, and Anne of Green Gables, we're definitely kindred spirits.
