Do you plan
everything or just let the story flow?
--I
do a little of both. I have a beginning and end in mind and certain
plot points which need to be met but I tend to let things develop as
they will.
Do your characters ever want to take over the story?
Do your characters ever want to take over the story?
--Sometimes,
which is why I don’t plot out absolutely everything. It gives me
the freedom to let the characters and myself explore some.
What is your favourite food?
What is your favourite food?
--This
is definitely a tie between fried chicken and green beans. And ice
cream.
Are you a morning person or a night owl?
Are you a morning person or a night owl?
--I’m
more productive in the morning but I definitely don’t like waking
up early. I prefer to be up at night but I’m also willing to admit
I’m lazier then.
Where do you dream of travelling to and why?
Where do you dream of travelling to and why?
--Oh,
so many places. I’m planning on traveling to Paris next March
because I’ve always wanted to go to Europe and I feel Paris is one
of those places that needs to be experienced. I also want to tour
Ireland and visit England because that’s where the majority of my
ancestors came from.
Do distant places feature in your books?
Do distant places feature in your books?
--Yes
and no. In the overall series, there are a lot of different cities
mentioned, all over the globe. In this particular part of the series,
this trilogy, there are some places, but not as many as in the
original series.
Do you listen to music while writing?
--Sometimes,
yes. If I write at home and I’m trying to meet a specific word
count in a set amount of time or just really focus, I’ll turn on
Pandora. If I’m out at a coffee shop or a bar, I’m content with
background noise.
Could you tell us a bit about your latest release?
Could you tell us a bit about your latest release?
--This
is the third set of books in the Winged world and more than likely
the last ones. It doesn’t mean I won’t return to these characters
or this world in general but this specific section of it, I think,
has had its story told. As to what it’s about, it’s really about
overcoming your past, discovering who you are and what’s important
to you—and the Ten Plagues.
What have you learned about writing and publishing since you first started?
What have you learned about writing and publishing since you first started?
--So
much it’s absolutely impossible to encapsulate it. I will say it’s
as rewarding as it is frustrating.
Is there anything you would do differently?
Is there anything you would do differently?
--I
don’t think so, no. There are some people I no longer trust but I
look at everything as a life lesson. I may or may not have had the
success I did today if I hadn’t made the same decisions earlier.
Since for the most part I like where I am, I wouldn’t change
anything.
Who, or what, if anything has influenced your writing?
Who, or what, if anything has influenced your writing?
--I
think life in general influences as—the changing social climate,
personal experiences, and so on. As far as writers, Nora Roberts,
Seanan McGuire, and Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child.
Anything you would say to those just starting out in the craft?
Anything you would say to those just starting out in the craft?
--Read
everything, and I do mean everything. Reading in your genre is
important but reading outside your genre exposes you to new
techniques and new ideas which might not show up in your normal
reading materials.
What are three words that describe you?
What are three words that describe you?
--Sarcastic,
determined, intelligent (and now that sounds vain but I stand by
it)
What's your favourite book or who is your favourite writer?
What's your favourite book or who is your favourite writer?
--There
is no way to answer that question. I have so many of both it would
take forever to even narrow the list.
