FAQ

Q: When did you decide to become a writer?
A: When I was a kid. I always loved to read and one day I decided I'd
like to write my own stories. I really didn't get serious though until I
started The Final Twist, Houston Chapter of the Sisters in Crime. I was so
jealous of our members who were published that I sat down and completely
rewrote NINTH LORD OF THE NIGHT.
Q: What types of books do you like to read?
A: Everything!!! In the fiction genre I read Mysteries, Sci Fi,
Romance, Westerns, Horror, Inspirational, Mainstream, Historicals. I also
read a lot of science. I have a library filled with books on biology,
geology, archaeology, history and religion - both ancient and modern.
Q: What do you like best about writing?
A: Creating the story and then polishing it to make the characters come
alive.
Q: I see from your page of upcoming works that you don't write just one
type of story. Is that so you won't be typecast?
A: Not really. I write what I'd like to read - what interests me. Since
I like to read different genres and also across genres, then that's
what I like to write. So many tales to tell!!!
Q: Who is your favorite writer?
A: Wow!!! That's a tough one!!! I guess Stephen
King http://www.stephenking.com/ is at the top of the
list - at the moment anyway because I'm writing a ghost story.
I adore Pauline Baird-Jones www.paulinebjones.com
for Romantic suspense.
For English Mysteries I don't think anyone comes close to Jo A.

Q: If Ninth Lord of the Night gets made into a movie - who would you
like to see play the character of Zack?
A; (Laughs) I can't answer that!!! I would like to see
William Fichtner http://www.williamfichtner.org/ play the part of
Uncle Clifton. He's one of the few actors whose career I've actually
followed. I'm amazed at his range - he's a fascinating actor who can play
any type - hero or villian.
Q: If you weren't a writer, what would you be doing?
A: Just enjoying my family and reading a lot. I doubt I'd be
ruling the world or anything. |
