Good morning, E.G., and welcome to Vision and Verse. What have you written?
The Immortal epub and hardback,
Lily is available currently only on Kindle Vella.
What is your favorite genre to write?
Dark Fantasy
Favorite food.
Potatoes, baked, fried, mashed, boiled…
Tea or coffee?
Tea, hot with a bit of cream. An alien concept here in the Southern USA where tea is iced and sweet. I love the smell of coffee but can’t drink the stuff. But I’ll eat tiramisu by the bowl.
Pizza or ice cream?
Pizza in the US.
Ice cream in Europe.
Wine or beer or soda or what?
Water, tap, filtered. On very rare occasions, a little white wine with seltzer water.
Where would you like to visit?
I’d like to see more of the US via train.
I lived in Germany for seventeen years, so I’ve done a little bit of traveling already.
I highly recommend Cambodia.
I totally agree about train travel. I love it. We need more of it in this country.
Favorite musical artist.
I’m music dumb.
Do you listen to music when you write? What?
No, I listen to whatever my kids are watching in the background.
What makes you laugh?
My husband.
Favorite work of art or sculpture.
Whatever my kids make for me.
They are all tiny masterpieces.
How old were you when you started writing?
39
Do you plan out your book with outlines and notecards? Or just write?
I’m very much a seat of my pants style writer.
Describe your perfect evening.
70 degrees in Winter, so no bugs because they all died off for the season. Sitting around a pit fire with a plate full of snacks and bed by 9pm. I’m so dull.
Where do you get your inspiration?The Immortal started as a nightmare. I thought I’d write a paragraph to stop thinking about it, but I ended up with a finished manuscript in six weeks.
What do you do when you get a writer's block? I drink a glass of water and go for a walk. My brain is a picky houseplant. It wilts easily and needs sunshine.
Who is your favorite author?
I don’t really read enough to have a favorite.
Best book you ever read.
More important book, The Hobbit, it was my introduction to fantasy.
Last book you read.
My husband gifted me The Wheel of Time for Christmas. I’m still on chapter one.
What would you do for a living if you weren’t a writer? Vocationally I’m a photographer and a stay-at-home mom.
Who is the one person who has influenced your personal life the most, and why?
My kids, they make me find the road less taken. If it weren’t for them, I’d be working some meaningless job, and I would never have pursued creative outlets.
If you could sit down and have a conversation with ONE person, living or dead, real or fictional, who would it be and why?
Han Solo, he’d tell me, “Don’t meet your hero’s kid.”
What advice would you give someone who aspired to be a writer?
Talent won’t get you to the finish line; discipline will. Your limitations are lies you’ve believed for most of your life. And it’s a guarantee someone won’t like what you write. That’s how the world works. Write it anyway.
