What is(are) your favorite book/author(s)? Why?
Too many to mention, both writers/books and reasons why. That’s a whole other interview. But I will talk about some of them on my blogs – so come visit them, and find out in a more organic way…
What is the best writing advice you’ve ever received?
Two, really. #1 is simply to READ – that might seem obvious but I’ve met any number of people who swear they want to write a book but when asked what they like to read reply, “I don’t read much”. It is simply not possible to be a good writer without also being a great reader – at the very least you need to know what’s already been done in the genre you’ve chosen to practice in. #2 is harder: Don’t Give Up. There are times that even I still find it difficult to live up to that one.
Do you have a website/blog where readers may learn more about you and your work?
My main website is at www.AlmaAlexander.com - and the website dedicated to the Worldweavers series is accesible through that, or directly at www.WorldWeaversWeb.com.
In addition, I blog regularly at my own LiveJournal blog and, as I mentioned earlier, once a month at SFNovelists and Storytellersunplugged, and at both those sites you can find a lot of other great writers who also regularly blog for them. Hope to see you there!
Do you have another book on the works? Would you like to tell readers about your current or future projects?
Too early in the day to discuss the work-in-porgress right now – but watch those blogs! That’s where I'll talk about it – at length! – when it becomes possible to do so.
Anything else you’d like to say about yourself or your work?
You were VERY thorough! Thank you!
