Interview
What is the hardest part
of writing your books?
I usually don’t have a hard time
making the words come or planning a novel. However, I think that I drench the
pages with too much internal narration, especially in my first drafts. I also
have difficulty writing action sequences. I’ll have to study up on that!
What songs are most
played on your Ipod?
When I write, I stream the Calm
Meditation channel on Pandora, and some of my favorites that pop up are
anything by Deuter, Dean Evenson, and Li Xiangting. I also like Loreena McKennitt and a group
called Niyaz.
When I’m not writing, I listen to
anything from German industrial, goth, darkwave EDM, and punk, to blues and
classical music.
Do you have critique
partners or beta readers?
I do. I’ve networked with some
wonderful writers over the past couple of years and appreciate their input. My
BFF and close family members also give me honest feedback on my WIPs.
What book are you
reading now?
The Secret Wife of Aaron Burr.
How did you start your
writing career?
I’ve had ideas for books since I was
in high school, but I didn’t start putting stories on paper until a couple of
years ago because I was focused on getting my M.A. and Ph.D. When my
dissertation was finally done, I took some time to relax and then tried my hand
at fiction.
