My Interview on Donna’s Blog – May 20, 2013
In case you missed it on Monday. Here’s a transcript of my interview with Donna:
Beam me up
Please describe your novel twitter style 140 characters or less.
Cara Augustine discovers being an über-witch is like being a walking lightening rod for trouble and sexy dangerous supernatural men.
What is the one thing you wish you knew before you tried to get published?
Everyone knows about the rejections, the thanks-but-no-thanks we get along the way. But I think my biggest wish is that I knew about the work that begins after your book is published. Readers have to somehow discover you as an author or discover one of your books. There are lots of choices for readers these days with traditional and indie-publishing going head-to-head. Choices are wonderful, confusing, frustrating, and exhilarating – much like having multiple love interests. Who to choose? Who to take a chance on? Who to curl up with on a rainy afternoon? Every writer wants it to be her or him. It’s getting the word out there, like the book is saying “Hey, yes you gorgeous. Try me. It might be love.”
What to you is the best part of being a writer and what is the part you wouldn’t mind giving up?
The best part is having the freedom to create worlds where anything is possible, fantasies come true, and new adventures are always lurking around the corner. I wouldn’t mind giving up the pre-writing panic when I think I couldn’t possibly get my heroine out of the trouble she’s just gotten herself into.
What city would you love to set a story in but the right one hasn’t come along yet?
Almost any city I haven’t set a story in yet. I’m sure even the tiniest rural town or village could be an exciting location. On the other hand, this question has me thinking I really should personally visit some exotic foreign settings– just to make sure I get the details right. Totally work related. For the sake of my readers. Willing to make the sacrifice. Really.
Vampires, Shifters, Zombies, Angels – who wins the final ultimate battle?
Humans. Or maybe ants. Not the kind who give you a dollar bill in a card on your birthday, but the insect variety. No, I’ll have to go with humans. We have to win in the end. A world of Vamps would eventually be forced to turn vegetarian, shifters couldn’t space travel because of all the moons, zombies would disintegrate into dirt and angels would be bored without us. I think humans or some form of next-generation human will out-live them all.
If you could witness any historical event past, present or future what would it be and why?
Instant transportation of a person from one location to another. Like Star Trek. None of this duplication stuff where you’d have to kill the original so there wouldn’t be dozens of you running around making trouble. The real person going from one location to another, anywhere in the world in a micro-second with no side-effects, weird dreams, or existential angst. I’m actually not a good traveler. Long car rides rival using a wire brush instead of a washcloth in the shower as my least favorite thing.
If you were going to co-write a new book, who would you want to write it with?
Too. Many. Choices. Head. Exploding. Can’t. Choose.
What books are currently on your nightstand?
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows. My Bookclub made me do it

What is the best thing you have done in the name of research?

When writing what is your favorite part of the story?
Writing “The End.”
Anything else you would like to share today?
Angel of Syn is the second in a planned trilogy. I’m working on the third novel, tentatively titled Dark Syns. Cara is in for some very exciting trouble, uh, I mean adventures and will have to make some hard decisions in the end.
