Brownsville, Kentucky
Good morning, Kristine, and welcome to Vision and Verse, the Place for Art and Authors. What have you written?
I’ve published the first five, out of eight, books in the Hidden Springs series. Plus a story called A Lesson in Patience that can be found in the book, Read for Animals.

What is your favorite
genre to write?
I’m not sure that I have
a favorite. I’m enjoying the historical
westerns that I’m writing now but I also look forward to writing contemporary.
Favorite food.
Mushrooms. Fungus is considered a food, right?
I have never known anyone who loved fungus before. You are an original.Tea or coffee?
Tea, all the way!
Pizza or ice cream?
Pizza. Mushroom, of course! (see above!)
Where would you like to
visit?
I’d love to go back to
New Orleans. I was there in October and
didn’t have nearly enough time to sightsee.
I’d also love to see the Pacific Northwest.
Favorite musical
artist. Do you listen to music when you
write? What?
I don’t have just
one. My musical tastes are all across
the board. But I must have complete
silence when I write.
What makes you laugh?
My husband. And also when my pets do silly things.
Favorite work of art or
sculpture.
I’m not into art at
all. Nature, on the other hand, provides
some spectacular scenery.
How old were you when
you started writing?
Dabbling? 13 or
14. Seriously? 46
Describe your perfect
evening.
Sitting out under the
stars in the springtime, listening to the frogs in our pond as they croak. A soft, mild breeze rustles the new leaves,
and everything is calm.
Where do you get your
inspiration?
I’m not sure that I’d
call it inspiration. More like the crazy
ideas that my brain comes up with. And I
don’t know where they come from; they just appear.
What do you do when you
get a writer's block?
Stress, mostly. I hate having an idea and not being able to
get it from my brain to the keyboard.
I’m starting to get better about it though. It usually happens around the same time in
every book, and I know that I will eventually get past it.
Who is your favorite
author?
I don’t have a
favorite. There are many that I like,
whose books I read over and over again.
Laura Ingalls Wilder, James Herriot, Sandra Brown, Karen Robards, PJ
Tracy, Spencer Quinn; to name a few.
Best book you ever
read.
Again, no
favorite. If I could only read one book
for the rest of my life, I’d be hard-pressed to pick one.
Last book you read.
Forgiven Love by B.
Maddox.
I am reading that right now! Love her. What would you do for a
living if you weren’t a writer?
I don’t know. It took me 46 years to finally figure out
what I wanted to be when I grew up.
That's cute. I like that. Who is the one person
who has influenced your personal life the most and why?
My husband. He’s always believed in me, believed that I
could do anything. I’ve tried my hand at
several different endeavors over the years and he’s always cheered me on, even
when the results have been disappointing.
If you could sit down
and have a conversation with ONE person, living or dead, real or fictional, who
would it be and why?
My dad. He passed away three years ago and I’d love
the opportunity to catch him up on all of the things going on in my life. And just to hear his voice.
What advice would you
give someone who aspired to be a writer?
Take the leap. Don’t give in to your doubts. Learn as much as you can but don’t be afraid
to write in your own style. Be
