Welcome to the Garden Interviews
Tell us about you and your books
How did you
do in English as a kid?
I remember little
about my early years, but high school English was another story. I always wanted
to throw my underwhelming pages in the trash. It turns out, I did fine, but it
took years to recognize that everyone has their own writing style and voice.
What was the
hardest chapter/book to finish and why?
I’ve always
had a tough time finishing the last chapter. I worry if the reader will be satisfied
with the ending or if I’ve somehow overlooked a plot hole. It’s tough to say goodbye to the characters
since they’ve been my inspiration for months and months.
Is there a
message in your novel that you want readers to grasp?
There’s a
little bit of a hero in all the characters. Their small and almost forgettable
actions will have you wondering how they all connect.
What was the
hardest part of writing your book?
Since Christmas
Once Again is a time travel fantasy, I was careful about separating the past
from the present.
When did you
first, without hesitation, call yourself a writer?
November 12,
2018. The day Christmas Once Again was published.
Now let's get to the personal stuff...
Are you
jealous of other writers?
Oh yeah.
Sometimes I’ll read a line or a paragraph that this is pure mastery and wish I
could write like that.
What makes
you laugh?
My
grandchildren.
Do you have
any hobbies?
I enjoy
restoring old dollhouses and secondhand furniture.
If you were
a tool, what would you be?
I’d be a tack
remover. I usually can’t find mine until I’ve finished with my furniture project.
What is your
favorite time of year and why?
December. Christmas
is my favorite holiday.
Where can we find out more?
Download Christmas Once Again on Amazon and other online retailers
