Okay, it’s time to have a little fun
as we get to know you more.
If you could only bring three items
with you to a deserted island (non-writing items or people) what would they be
and why?
Suntan lotion for obvious reasons, my iPad because I’d have
Internet and could get books, and a good pillow.
I think the iPad has been something a
lot of people would bring, but I don’t think many would think to bring suntan
lotion and a pillow. Those would be
handy to have as well.
The world is going to end
tomorrow. How do you live out your
remaining time?
I tell my daughter and her family to get on a plane
immediately and come home. With my son and his family, along with my wonderful
husband, we have a family barbecue. We do all the preparing, cooking, and
munching together, just enjoying each others’ company. I read stories to them all, maybe even some
I’ve written. We sing together and harmonize.
That’s very sweet and nice way to
spend that time. I think spending it
with the ones you love is the most important thing.
Someone wants to make a movie based
on your life. Who would you pick to play
you?
I would pick a cross between Sandra Bullock, Shirley
MacLaine, and Meryl Streep.
Alive or dead, who is the one person
you would want to interview and why?
I would like to interview my mother who has been gone for
fifteen years now. So many questions have come to me since she died that I
would like to have her answer. And I’d
love to be able to reminisce with her about all the wonderful memories I have
of both growing up and of sharing a life with her.
Most people usually would answer a
celebrity or an artist. I love that you
picked someone that means a lot to you.
Not many people would think to interview a loved one.
Okay, crystal ball time. Where do you see yourself in 5-10 years?
The Loyalist Trilogy
all published. A book of memoir published as well. Time to sit by the sea and
bask in blues and breezes with nary a care in the world.
Any questions you would like to ask
me?
Do you read historical fiction and have you read The
Loyalist’s Wife? J
I never thought to read historical
fiction before. I think I read one or
two books on quests for the Holy Grail.
Other than that I don’t think I’ve read too many books on historical
fiction. I haven’t had a chance to read
The Loyalist’s Wife yet, but after reading the excerpt and hearing you talk
about it, I cannot wait to read it. I
already downloaded it to my Kindle.
Any final words for our readers?
Treasure your reading times as moments to listen, learn, and
love.
