Welcome. Tell us about you and your books.
Have you ever
cried while writing a book?
Yes, but not over characters. Writing
is painful.
Do you have
trouble saying goodbye to characters?
The characters I miss are the ones I
have to edit out of a story. However, I have a special file for those misfits
and I regularly promise them they’ll get their own story one day.
How much of the
book is realistic?
Both settings for THE RIGHT FIT and
ONLY THE BEGINNING are based on Toronto and Halifax respectively. Halifax is my
home city so ONLY THE BEGINNING has more specific landmarks. I changed the
names of businesses that I featured, but the Public Library and the Public
Gardens exist.
Do you have to
travel researching your book(s)?
Toronto was based on my own travel.
And of course, I know Halifax very well.
When did you
first, without hesitation, call yourself a writer?
Good question! I didn’t mention I was
a writer until I had my first book published. These days, (even after eleven
published novels) I still say it with a shrug, like an afterthought.
And for a little fun...
What's the most
blatant lie you've ever told?
Wow, that escalated quickly.
Who do you see as
a hero/heroine in your life?
Mostly the people I don’t know who are
just doing their job every day without complaining. I find it’s the people I least
expect that are doing all the heavy work behind the scenes as opposed to the
big moments of rescue and such.
Do you laugh at
your own jokes?
Yup!
Have you ever
found true love?
When you’re young every love feels
like true love, then you find the sustainable love and its everything. Also,
don’t forget to love yourself!
What is the one
question you wish an interviewer would ask you?
What are you wearing to the Oscars?
