Welcome Gloria,
Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to talk to me.
Her book
Meeting Robyn
released June 11, 2013
Can you tell my readers a little bit
about yourself?
I can say just that a
little. I never thought that I would do anything but be an actress from as
early as I can remember, but words kept presenting themselves on paper. I wrote
and produced plays in the garage and starred the neighborhood kids and charged
their parents 5 cents to attend. I did well as an actress starting in my first
play at 13. I studied for close to 12 years, I could have been a doctor for all
the study. The acting years were great, places, people and a lot of excitement
and still I wrote plays and articles along the way.
When did you
begin writing?
I guess I began writing
professionally when I wrote Women's Gym and then went to work at New World
Pictures, working on TV series.
What inspires
you to write?
I dream what I want to
write I wake up with it organized in my mind. I worked for a producer that said
I had mental diarrhea, there would always be an idea in my head. I always
wanted to write about my child, but a voice wouldn't come. Until one morning I
woke up and then it was an easy flow. My child contributed by sharing with me
stories of his life. I took them and ran with them. My husband says it's a dual
memoir.
What do you do
when you are not writing?
I attend to a large
house in Mexico, I look after four stray dogs, and mostly I am always writing
it's my job 4 to 6 hours a day.
How did you come
up with the title?
We couldn't find a
title...I tried a ;bunch of them out and one night at a dinner party I said to
a friend I still needed a title and she asked several questions and said, why
not meet Robyn." I liked Meeting Robyn, I knew instantly it was the
correct name because of the last chapter.
What are you
most proud of accomplishing in your life?
I've done so many things in my life for which i am proud. It would be difficult to name one thing, but a few are the friends I have made, the love I have shared, the people I have helped, my child, and this book.
Can you share a
little of your current work with us?
I'm working on a new
book about a very dear friend of mine who was murdered two years ago. I want to
remember her. Her's was a life that should not be forgotten.
How and where
can we purchase your book?
My book can be purchased
at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, White Bird Publications and you can walk into any bookstore around the world and order it.
