Good morning, Tammy, and welcome to Vision and Verse. What have you written?
White Wolf and the Ash Princess, Letters from the Dragon’s Son, Eagle Eyes, and my current work in progress is Something Old in the Snow.
What is your favorite genre to write?
Fiction and Christian Family
Favorite food.

Tea or coffee?
Coffee!
Pizza or ice cream?
Pizza
Wine or beer or soda or what?
LaCroix
Where would you like to visit? Isle Royale (an Island in Lake Superior)
Favorite musical artist.
Wolves at the Gate
Do you listen to music when you write?
Yes.
What?
High Energy, lyrically rich, and emotional music such as Wolves at the Gate, Tommee Profitt, NF, Demon Hunter, Future of Forestry, Micah Ariss, and Red.
What makes you laugh?
My two little grandsons. They are both the most adorable little things!
Favorite work of art or sculpture.
Claude Monet, The Magpie
How old were you when you started writing?
I was in my forties and sat in on my son’s homeschool writing course, One Year Adventure Novel, and I wrote White Wolf and the Ash Princess, but I have told stories for as long as I can remember and learned everything I know of the art of storytelling from my mom.
Do you plan out your book with outlines and notecards?
Or just write?
I plan a theme to explore and develop a lesson to teach and wrap my writing around flawed characters who need my help to grow. The beginning and end is decided but the middle of the book is shaped chapter by chapter.
Describe your perfect evening.
A thunderstorm (or blizzard), my favorite jammies and slippers, a cup of coffee, a movie, my family, and our two kitties.
Where do you get your inspiration?
From nature (Lake Superior and the Hiawatha), people watching, and listening to music.
What do you do when you get a writer's block?
I walk away with the understanding the blockage could be the Lord asking me to get away from the computer to live a little more life to add to the story.
Who is your favorite author?
It’s a tie between C.S. Lewis and Lois Lowry.
Best book you ever read.
Mrs. Mike/ Benedict and Nancy Freedman
Last book you read.
Hunt for the Skinwalker
What would you do for a living if you weren’t a writer?
I am always dreaming of different small businesses I’d like to start. The one my family teases me the most about is my fictional potato truck, Superior Spuds.
Who is the one person who has influenced your personal life the most and why?
Jesus, my Lord and Savior who has delivered and healed me from a difficult childhood/past. I am very grateful for the life he gave me that shaped me into the person I am today. My husband and Mom would be the next two people who have influenced me the most.
If you could sit down and have a conversation with ONE person, living or dead, real or fictional, who would it be and why?
I would love to sit with Avery (Letters from the Dragon’s Son) and discuss redemption and forgiveness and why it was so hard for him to accept it.
What advice would you give someone who aspired to be a writer?
Develop a habit and write at least 15 minutes a day. Achieving a word or a sentence a day should never be considered a failed writing session, any word at all is a forward step. “Going forward, no matter how small the step, is how you do it.” Avery Gudwyne.
