Spine Mingling: Author Interviews

" I read Johnathon Livingstone Seagull, which changed my life completely and it helped me to embrace my individuality."

"I love making up stories. I create a world; I people it with characters; I unleash conflicts and offer solutions (that don’t always work)."

" I can think of no better way to get caught up in a story than this – to begin to see the world with fresh eyes, even if only borrowed for a time."

"I believe everyone should attempt to 'write'. If you don't enjoy it, take up golf. It will require about the same amount of your time and be equally frustrating."

"I don’t think a writer should ever think about things like 'target audiences' until after they’ve finished a book."

"My goal is to put the reader into each scene. Let her smell the smells, hear the shrieking brakes."

"The term 'wifey' can mean anything from indeed a wife, to an indispensably mad-fabulous girlfriend."

"Part of writing is having your characters live on forever."

"I thought it might be fun to try something with a modern setting while keeping strong elements of fantasy."

"I enjoy mysteries and thrillers so I wanted to try to capture the elements I enjoy in each genre in one novel."
