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. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #e36c0a;">When
I'm not writing, I'm a developmental writing professor at a small East Texas
college, so every aspect of my professional life deals with writing. I'm also
getting the hang of being a father, with my six-month-old daughter.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-size: large;">When did you begin writing?</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #e36c0a;">At a
very early age, probably around seven or eight years old. My first memory
regarding writing was getting a Young Authors Conference selection in fifth
grade, which started me on the path I walk now. I was a Young Authors
selection for two years in a row, and in fact recently while rearranging my
house I found the second year's manuscript, which now has a place of honor on
my bookshelf.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-size: large;">What inspires you to write and why?</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #e36c0a;">I get
affected by the events and people around me. To give an example, the crux of
Phantom Squadron stemmed originally from the 9/11 attacks, and my own
reflections on how evil someone would have to be to perpetrate such an
atrocity. Starting with the third book, the focus shifted to looking at how
American politics has changed the landscape of society, in particular how
partisan dogma on both sides is threatening our nation as we know it. I use my
writing as a coping mechanism, to make sense of the world around me.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-size: large;">What do you do when you are not
writing, besides taking care of that lovely daughter of your?</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #e36c0a;">Honestly,
I haven't been able to do much that doesn't involve writing lately, other than
keeping up with housekeeping, car maintenance, and such. Of course, keeping up
with Kahlan is a big chunk of my life now, so it sometimes gets hard to do any
writing at all. When we do get the chance, though, me and my wife enjoy travel
and movies.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Why did you choose to write this
particular storyline?</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #e36c0a;">I'm
reaching a point in my writing life where I need to resolve some stories.
Phantom Squadron has been a part of my imagination, and thus part of my
existence, going on twelve years now. I've reached a point where I can't raise
the stakes much higher. What could be higher than trying to find your captive
family? Why, if one of them happens to be held, literally, in Hell. I'm also
known as a writer who likes to torture his characters, and this seemed like a
really good wringer to put my heroine through.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-size: large;">How did you come up with the titles
for your novels?</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #e36c0a;">It
feels right and matches a theme. My first one was intended to be a prequel of
sorts to the series, so I chose the title "The Advance Guard" to
reflect that it's the origins of the team, kind of like the advance guard of an
army going into battle. The second one just sounded neat, to use a Navajo word
for their own people which just happened to have good alliteration with the
word "dragon," so I went with it. The three books that are concluding
the series are going to be thematically linked because all of them will include
an important word starting with an I, just as a stylistic practice.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Is there a message in your novel
that you want readers to grasp?</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #e36c0a;">I have
three themes that run through all of the Phantom Squadron books, three core
values that my characters cherish: honor, family, and love. "Infernal
Eighteen" focuses on the last two of those core values, particularly
Alanna's family and her love for her father, which is what drives her to go
into Hell. The single biggest message I want to give readers with this book is
to never underestimate love's power.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">

<span style="font-size: large;">How and where can we purchase your
book?</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #e36c0a;">We're
doing a simultaneous print and digital release, like we've done with other
books from Desert Coyote Productions, so readers will be able to buy the books
through two websites (</span><a href="http://desertcoyote.weebly.com/">http://desertcoyote.weebly.com</a>
or <a href="http://phantomsquadronofficial.weebly.com/">http://phantomsquadronofficial.weebly.com</a><span style="color: #e36c0a;">), through Smashwords, or through any fine online book
retailer like Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and the like. We've thus far had some
rough luck getting the books into brick-and-mortar stores, but we're still
trying!</span><span style="color: #00b050;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Thanks again, Don, It was great
speaking with you.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #e36c0a;">The
pleasure's all mine, Evelyn. Thank you again!<br />

in rural Texas during the 60's as the oldest of six children. Sexually abused
by my father from a very young age, his relentless demands eventually resulted
in two pregnancies. One child was stillborn; the other died in my arms a month
before his third birthday. My book tells more about what my life was like
growing up.</span></span></div>

did you begin writing?</span></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif";">I believe the love of writing has been part of me most of my
life. As a child, I found pleasure in perfecting my handwriting~ the thrill of
a new tablet and the feel of ink gliding across a clean sheet of paper. My
freshman year of high school, I had an English teacher, Sarah Morrison, who
regularly gave us writing prompts and encouraged us to develop our imagination.
I’ve often wished I still had the stories I came up with that year. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif";">It wasn’t until I retired from my position as a probation
officer that I pursued my dream to write my memoir, Don’t Cry, Daddy’s Here,
and be an advocate for other survivors of child sexual abuse. This was a long
jump from the fictional stories of my youth. With increased counseling
appointments and the aid of a support
group at Celebrate Recovery, I began this daunting task.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif";">Most of my writing, even those of fiction, usually contain
some reference to child abuse. I feel that it helps keep the public aware of
this ongoing problem. Plus, you know they say, “write what you know.”</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif";">Mostly, my desire to help in the education, prevention, and
healing from child sexual abuse and spread awareness to the public. It’s going
to be uncomfortable for some people, but as a society, we must take the
blinders off and realize that everyone must play a role in preventing this from
happening to the children in their lives. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif";">Read, of course</span><span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif";"> I also love spending time with my
husband; we often go to movies and dine out. I tell him all the ways in which
the book was better than the movie and we both laugh as we recall the funniest
parts of a comedy. It’s fun to spend time with my grown children and their
families, serve in church and my community, do crafts and crochet, and
shop…anywhere, but especially estate sales and flea markets.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif";">I struggled with the title, actually. As I worked on the
book, I knew that I wanted to share how I longed for a Daddy that may me feel
safe and loved and how I found that in my Heavenly Father. Then, while writing
the segment in my book where my dad rapes me while I cry and beg for him to
just be my daddy, what he said to me resounded over and over in my mind: Don’t
cry, Daddy’s here. At that point, I knew it was to be the title of my book.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif";">I wanted a young girl crying in a field, reaching up to the
heavens. The background would be black and white to reflect her despair, while
she, being an innocent child, would be in color. You and Janice Ernest both
helped me have a clearer idea of what to present to Don Bristow, my
photographer and graphic design artist. I took him sketches and photos of me as
a young girl on the farm and asked a woman from church if she would approve of
my asking her daughter to model for the shoot. This girl looked much like I did
in my youth, but was living the kind of life I had always dreamed of. I assure
you, she is a very happy and healthy child.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">

<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif";">During the shoot, my husband was standing out by Don and at
one point, he raised his hand and the shadow fell upon her. I recalled that
Janice had mentioned something to this effect, but I had rejected the idea at
the time. Yet, the shadow of a man’s hand upon her looked so right, so Don
positioned Dennis and shot a few more pictures. It was one of these that I
selected in the end before Don went to work on the cover.</span></span></div>

their partners. Having found it difficult to find children’s books that I’d
want for my grandchildren, I am working on a series of children’s books. The
first is titled Who Will Listen and others will cover topics such as boundaries
and bad secrets. Dennis and I are working on a book about breaking the cycles

<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Can you tell my readers a little
bit about yourself?</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #4f81bd;">Sure thing. I’m 35
years young and getting younger. I moved to Florida last December, the day
after Christmas actually. I’m married and I have a son, who is the light of my
life. I have two cats, Padme and Obi-Wan and they terrorize the house day and
night. I’m currently working on a PhD in Organization and Management, which is
probably the most insane thing I’ve ever attempted.</span><span style="color: #4f81bd;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">When and why did you begin writing?</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #4f81bd;">I began writing in 2010. When I was in High
School and College, I had 4 years’ worth of lucid dreams about a
post-apocalyptic world. These dreams served as the inspiration for the 7
Scorpions Trilogy. It took 11 years after the dreams ended to fill in gaps and
get up the nerve to actually start writing.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Do you listen to music or do you like silence when you’re writing?</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #4f81bd;">I actually go back and forth. Sometimes, I
have music playing (especially when writing fight scenes), other times, I need
quiet (and having an 8 year old minimizes the amount of quiet time there is).</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">

<span style="font-size: large;">What made you choose to write Science Fiction?</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #4f81bd;">Science Fiction is my favorite genre for both
movies and books. It also seemed to be the one to fit my dreams best.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">How did you come up with your
title?</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #4f81bd;">As lame as it
sounds, “7 Scorpions” came to me when I was about half awake one day my senior
year of High School (and there were many of those days). When I decided it
would be a trilogy, I christened them Rebellion, Revolution, and Retribution.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #4f81bd;">Ask myself why I
decided to pursue a PhD and quit drinking at the same time. Other than that, I
spend time with the family, friends, etc. I’m hoping to save up enough to buy a
new Harley, because I miss my old one (sold it before moving from CT).</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #4f81bd;">I should probably start thinking that far
ahead, but I’ve never been good at 5 year projections for myself. It always
ends up being vastly different (and usually better) than I thought. I at least
hope I’ll have finished my dissertation by then.</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">How and where can we purchase your book?</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">I'm
actually a Swamp Thing. No, really, I was born in a little town in the middle
of the Atchafalaya Swamp, and we moved to New Orleans when I was a year old. I
consider New Orleans my home. My mother was a movie fan, and Daddy's work made
him have to travel, so after supper every night, Mother and I would go a block and
a half to the movie theater<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">—</span>it was called "The Grenada" and watch
the double feature, sometimes the same shows two or three nights in a row. So I
absorbed film structure from a very young age. As far as poetry and prose, my
parents read to me from infancy, and the conversation in our home, even when the
family grew to six of us, was always lively, intelligent, funny and
electric, in the sense that we most often anticipated each
others' line of thought and addressed it at a great rate, and then
someone else picked it the line and ran with it. No one ever actually had
to finish a sentence. It was exhilarating, wonderful and tremendously contributive
to the creative process, no matter by which expression we chose to express
it. Initially, my brothers chose music and writing; my sister was a journalist;
I write and paint.</span></span></div>

always been an omnivorous reader, and have also always been a storyteller.
For me it was not only a joy, it was a necessity. Let me explain: In a
traditional Italian/Sicilian family, such as the one I come from,
they value a certain kind of beauty: blonde hair (even if it's an inch long
and all over the body) and blue eyes (it doesn't matter how many there are,
so long as they're blue) but as it happened, I was very
small for my age, dark, skinny, handicapped, and intelligent. All
no-no's for girls in the traditional S/I family. So I told stories to
make people like me (and because I absolutely LOVED telling stories! When
I married and no longer had the built-in "audience," it was natural
to start writing the stories down, and it grew from there.</span></span></div>

I'll just talk about the science-fiction books right now: "All the Gods of
Eisernon" is part of the protagonist's medical oath; "The Elluvon
Gift" was a logical extension of the name of the extra-galactic alien
mother, an 'Elluvon;' "The Trumpets of Tagan" refers to the sea
creatures, called 'Trumpets,' who inhabit the Single Sea; "Timeslide"
is, as stated, a slide backward down Time; "Hopeship" is (again, not
surprisingly!)-about the concept of the decommissioned hospital ship, the good
ship Hope, as superimposed on the idea of interplanetary travel. My "good
ship Hope" goes from backwater world to backwater world and back again,
serving the poor and needy of all species. At one time, Gene Roddenberry
and I had agreed to make it into a series spinoff of Star Trek, but once Desi
and Lucy divorced, all bets were off.</span></span></div>

Series," called </span><span style="color: black;">"Recovery.” My
protagonist, Dao Marik, has been through some pretty tough times (including
having a prejudiced Earthling politico destroy what he thinks is the last copy
of Marik's medical certification and military record), and has had to be
patched up so he could go back out and have more adventures. In
"Recovery," he hears that the scuttled hulk of the hospital ship
"USS Pacific is going to be nudged into a nearby sun, and that's where the
real last copies of his records are. So he decides to go recover them. Hence
the title, "Recovery." However, he forgets what lives in
shipwrecks, which makes for a fun book.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #0070c0; font-size: large;">Well, I am a Native
Texan, born and raised. My family has lived in this part of Texas for almost a
hundred years, so, my roots here are deep. I have four wonderful children that
keep me on my toes and a great guy that puts up with my craziness. Especially,
when I am writing, which is most of the time. My house is a bit of a zoo. I house three dogs
(all large breed, but thankfully only one is inside the house), two cats, two
bunnies and seven fish…so no matter what time of day I am never alone which
suits me just fine.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>When did you begin writing?</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #0070c0; font-size: large;">I began writing seriously in 2009. Before
that, I dabbled with short stories and poetry in school. English was the only
subject I was ever any good at in school, so my turning out to be a writer
wasn’t much of a shock to my family.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>What inspires you to write and
why?</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #0070c0; font-size: large;">My daughter inspires me every day. She is the
reason I decided to pursue writing back in 2009. I wanted to show her that if
you have a dream and you work at it and stick to your guns you can attain it.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #0070c0; font-size: large;">I have a full time
job in an office and of course my kids, my Love, and the zoo of pets. I am
pretty much a homebody. Other than that, I enjoy photography and hope to learn
more about the artistic aspect of it as time goes by.</span></div>

Adult Paranormal?</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #0070c0; font-size: large;">I wanted to write something my kids would
read and enjoy. The Young Adult Genre is all about choices and changes in life.
I like being able to get on the same level as my readers and let them see that
I understand the struggles. Writing Paranormal just makes it more fun, because
I am not restrained by reality. I can make the impossible … possible.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #0070c0; font-size: large;">With IMMORTAL
BEGININGS I was stuck and had no clue what I was going to call it. I wanted the
title to tell the reader enough about the book for them to be interested…but I
wanted to keep it simple. So, I bounced ideas off of my oldest daughter and
sort of fell into the title. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #0070c0; font-size: large;">Typically, my books
don’t have a title until they are either completely finished or about half way
through. By that time, I know the characters well enough to give the book a
title. </span></div>

that you want readers to grasp?</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #0070c0; font-size: large;">Most of my novels have a central theme of
inner strength. I want the reader to understand that even though the characters
are having a rough time accepting what is going on around them, they eventually
find the strength to stand tall and be proud of who (and sometimes what) they
are. That no matter how great the
obstacle there is always a way to overcome it.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Can you tell us a little bit
about yourself?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #0070c0;">Evelyn, thank you
for featuring me on your blog. I am a husband, father and grandfather. An avid
reader, I am interested in history, especially WWII and old cars. I was born,
raised, and live in Texas.</span><span style="color: #0070c0;"></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">When and why did you begin writing?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #0070c0;">I had written a few short stories before, but
nothing more until I started on <i>The
Special </i>about eight years ago. I was building an old race car replica and
everyone wanted to know where it came from. I started thinking about that and
the story took on a life of its own. The characters wouldn't leave me alone
until I started writing. They told me the story, I just wrote it down.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">What inspires you to write and why?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #0070c0;">I like history, always have, I try to
visualize what it must have been like to live the events that have become our
history. Most of the people I knew in school hated history, but now when I tell
them about an historical event they get caught up in the story. I love it when
they get hooked, that is why I write, and for myself, of course. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Why did you choose to write this particular book?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #0070c0;">I lost my uncle, my Dad's only sibling in
WWII. I was born shortly after the war and when I was little I stayed with my
grandparents during the day while both my parents worked. My uncle's presence
was very strong in their house. I wrote the story of my uncle and the car he
built shortly before WWII trying to capture his life as I hoped he lived it.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #0070c0;">How did you come up
with the title?</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><span style="color: #0070c0;">The Special </span></i><span style="color: #0070c0;">is the name of my uncle's race car.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Have you started another book yet?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #0070c0;">Yes, I am actively writing what I hope
becomes the first volume of a series of historical novels about the origins of
WWII. My story starts in China in the early 1930's. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">What do you do when you are not
writing?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #0070c0;">I have six
wonderful grandchildren and I try to spend as much time with them as possible. My
wife and I love to travel and of course, I have my old cars to piddle with from
time to time.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Where do you see yourself in five years?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #0070c0;">I hope I see myself with a nearly complete
series of historical novels about WWII! </span></span></div>

little bit about yourself?</span></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #0070c0; line-height: 200%;">I have dabbled at writing and published in the healthcare world for over
25 years. My first piece was a newspaper
article about death with dignity. It
took until I was age 50 to finally give myself permission to write what I love,
stories about strong, independent women who changed their corner of the world. I am intrigued by aviation, the military
life, and the deep South. I live out on
a sheep farm in northeast of Dallas. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #0070c0; line-height: 200%;">I am a
dynamic, tenacious, go-getter. Like many
of the women I write about, I just won’t accept “NO” if I feel strongly about a
project or an issue. I will find a way
to make it happen. That is unsettling
for many people, but it is what makes me tick.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #0070c0; line-height: 200%;">I love
telling stories. When I write a story,
it unfolds in my head like a movie. The
words and sights, sounds and actions just flow out onto the page. The blank page is my canvas to share with
the world. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #0070c0; line-height: 200%;">How long
have you been writing? Since I was
twenty one. First for newspapers, then
trade publications. I was elated at

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #0070c0; line-height: 200%;">The minute
I heard this story from the lead character, for it is based on true events, I
knew I had to write FLYING SOLO. I just
couldn’t imagine the moxy it took for my character to break free of a bad
marriage with domestic violence, learn to fly a plane, support herself and then
break free! All in the 1960s. Women just didn’t take those kind of
chances. When she stole the plane, I
knew this had to be a book. The other
theme in the book is that sometimes in life, the choices we make have difficult
consequences. Nora, the lead learns that
too. Plus, the setting, New Orleans,
Mardi Gras, aviation and a gorgeous Navy pilot instructor. My favorite things. How could I not write about it? I was elated when the lead gave me the
permission to tell it. She kept parts
of it hidden for years. Many people
think it should be a movie. I do too.</span></span></div>

with the title?</span></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #0070c0; line-height: 200%;">When my sister heard about the story, she suggested the title. I immediately agreed. It really is all about learning to take care
of yourself and not just settling. It’s
about a strong women who finally got the courage to do what was best for her
and her children. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #0070c0; line-height: 200%;">I love people and love to talk, so I teach in my original profession
nursing. I manage and teach at the high

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #0070c0; line-height: 200%;">Due to the
high demand, from the thousands that have read FLYING SOLO, I am fast at work
on the sequel. Everyone wanted to know
what happened next. The book ends with
a bit of a cliff hanger. The sequel
takes the characters to the Vietnam War.
Her pilot takes flight in an A-4 Skyhawk off the USS Coral Sea. Nora goes over as a USO singer, because they
won’t let women fly in combat. SOLO
VIETNAM should be out in Spring of 2013.
I am writing away. </span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white; color: #0070c0;">The
genre my books fall under would be Romance. But it blends into many others. So
let’s call it Paranormal/Romantic/Suspense.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white; color: #0070c0;">As

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white; color: #0070c0;">I
love reading paranormal romances and in my travels to Ireland, I always visit
New<span style="font-size: large;">g</span>range. One time I was driving home from Chicago to Texas and had to pull
over as the beginning of the story flowing through my head. I put it away for almost three years. I had a
dream and pulled out the story again. At that point, I had to figure out whom
to use for the story and naturally, New<span style="font-size: large;">g</span>range popped into my head. I researched
the mythology associated with New<span style="font-size: large;">g</span>range and found the Tuatha. The rest I guess
is history. </span></span></div>

What else about your book might pique the reader’s interest?</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white; color: #548dd4;">The Dau<span style="font-size: large;">ghter of Prophecy</span> Series is the epic story of
good vs evil, but more than that it is a love story not only of man and woman,
but of family. Family is a strong theme throughout all of my books and ties the
characters together in a way mere circumstance and commonality could never
achieve. The bond continues through the generations and even beyond death
itself.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;">I served 21-years in the United States Army
retiring in 1996, am a Veteran of the Cold War and was a Green Beret. I was born in Baltimore, my parents divorced when
I was young and I had a four year stay (1962-66) in Ireland and then returned
to and grew up in New York City, where I attended St. Stephens of Hungary
Elementary School and Power Memorial Academy High School. </span></span></div>

Debbie, we had three children and traveled extensively as a military
family. While in the Army I served in the Infantry, Military Police and
the majority of my career in Special Forces.
After retiring from the Army I transitioned into business and spent the
next 10 plus years working for Domino’s Pizza as a Regional Manager in Seattle,
Philadelphia, and later became a Domino’s Pizza Franchisee.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;">I always had the writing bug
and remember growing up in NYC, watching TV and writing scripts, none of which
went anywhere other than my imagination, but still at a young age I had
imagination. It was about five years ago when a spark was rekindled by my son
who asked me to read some of his stories.
A combination of my son’s writing and my wife’s encouragement were the
major inspirations that kick started me into writing and to put ideas,
experiences and thoughts to paper.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;">My first book is considered a historical fiction, a Cold War POW story,
which was inspired by a combination of historical events, personal encounters
and travels, and a personal desire or maybe impulse to draw attention to a
specific cause. While my first book is
fiction and entertainment for the reader, my underlying hidden message is to
draw attention to the issue of what I consider Forgotten Soldiers, the POW/MIA’s
who never came home. The first book and future books I plan on writng are all
inspired by some kind of social issue which either needs to be never forgotten
or needs to be addressed. </span></span></div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Why did you choose to write this particular book?</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;">We’ve all seen the books and movies about the Cold War, Vietnam, and
prisoners of war, like the Rambo movies or Chuck Norris Missing in Action
movies. They are all entertainment, but
no matter how they have been received, they do accomplish one thing and that is
creating attention to what by many is not a believable sceniero, but to many
others it is indeed very believable. I
felt that I could present a entertaining story, written in a manner that the
reader would ask “Did This Really Happen?” which many readers have already
done. The subject of POW/MIA’s is an issue I believed had been forgotten,
especially since the end of the Cold War, and is a subject that needs to be
remembered, and resolved.</span></span></div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">How did you come up with the
title?</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;">The title was rather to come up with considering the subject of the
book, which itself is about a forgotten era and forgotten people in our
history. Forgotten Soldiers just seemed to fit, and the fictional character
name of Jacob Walden was also a good fit, and was representative of those who
served during Vietnam and the Cold War</span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;">I have started another book
project and also have several concepts for other books. My current project is tentatively titled
“Operation Green Light” which is a Cold War action story which takes place in
1989 about a Green Beret A-Team that finds themselves behind the Iron Curtain
and must figure out a way to get back home, while avoiding starting World War
III. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;">Most of the time I find myself

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;">In five years I envision having transitioned into teaching and
lecturing Business Management and Leadership while also devoting time to my
book writing activities and continued participation in charitable, professional
and fraternal type organizations. Even
in the event that my books are widely and famously accepted, I would likely not
deviate too much from what I have envisioned. </span></span></div>

trainer with CLASServices, Inc. and a speaker, speaker/trainer for Stonecroft
Ministries. I have had over thirty stories published in the Chicken Soup for the
Soul series and other faith based publications and was recognized as
FamilyTime’s 2010 Woman of Achievement for the Arts. My first book, <b>Becoming a Woman of Purpose – A Thirty-One
Day Devotional </b>is published by Tate Publishing. I live in Kingwood, Texas with my husband,
David.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="background-color: magenta;"><span style="background-color: white;">David took an early
retirement in 2001. We had earlier purchased a home in Kingwood and invited our
son and his new bride, Erin, to share it with us anticipating a move there in
the near future. Erin was a high school
English teacher and she encouraged me to share some of our life
experiences. She had written for
publication and said, “Karen, you can do this”!
I was just thrilled to see my first stories accepted and in print. </span></span></span></span></div>

beauty is a perfect pallet for any aspiring author. My life experience stories are up close and
per<span style="background-color: white;"></span>sonal as to how God has shown his love and concern for my life and the lives
of others around me. Whether it’s a big
event or small seemingly insignificant happening, God cares and I’ve been
blessed at being able to tell the story.

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #45818e;">As a Personality Trainer, I
present <b>Wired That Way </b>workshops to
help people and businesses better understand the four personality traits. I
studied the personality temperaments under author’s Florence & Marita
Littauer who’s forty plus years of study and writing on the personalities are
inarguably the Myers-Briggs for a new generation. I very much enjoy my
continued service with Stonecroft Ministries as a speaker and speaker/trainer
and as an Elder and Stephen’s Minister in my church. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #45818e;">It began as a desire to leave
a legacy for our children and grand children. As I shared these life
experiences verbally with my friends they encouraged me to write them
down. My daughter-in-law, Erin, then
guided me to submit some of my stories for publication and each acceptance was very
gratifying. Then my good friend, Carol, <b>My
Butterfly Friend</b> as depicted in my book, urged me to bring these stories
together as an encouragement to others. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #45818e;">Pastor Rick Warren had
published his book, <b>Purpose Driven Life</b>,
and it resonated with me in a very special way. As I reflected upon my stories
it became clear that God had allowed all these various events to take place in
my life for a purpose and I just felt compelled to set them down as personal
devotions to inspire others. <b>Becoming a
Woman of Purpose – A Thirty-One</b> <b>Day
Devotional</b> was the result.</span></span></div>

about every detail of our lives. His love for us covers us with grace and can
provide that peace which passed all understanding if we just accept it.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Can you tell us a little bit
about yourself? <span style="color: #00b050;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #00b050;">I’ve
always been an avid reader. At the
university I majored in English and Education, so becoming a writer seemed to
be a good fit. I began writing poetry
almost as soon as I learned to read and published my first poem in the fifth
grade. I wrote stories in high school
and college for anthologies and newsletters.
By the time I was thirty, I had written my first three novels.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">What inspires you to write and why?
<span style="color: #00b050;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #00b050;">Interesting
ideas. I never know when or where
inspiration will strike. I don’t have
dry periods or writer’s block. I write
because I love writing. </span> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">What books have most influenced your life most? <span style="color: #00b050;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #00b050;">The
classics. I began with mythology in
grade school. I’d be hard-pressed to
choose any few books to single out as examples. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #00b050;">Everywhere. Anytime my mind asks “what if”.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #00b050;">I
spend time with my family, and I crochet.
I’ve been crocheting since high school, and for the last few years, I’ve
designed my own line of hats and scarves. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #00b050;">I am excited about two new
current projects I'm working on. First of all, I am very excited about my new
serial novel, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Ddigital-text&field-keywords=The+hidden+c+r+myers" target="_blank">THE HIDDEN</a>—I have written serial novels for newspapers,
magazines, and online, but this is my first on Kindle. I love writing them
because of the tight writing and high suspense. The second episode is out as
well.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #00b050;">The story, told in first-person,
centers around a young woman who woke up from a coma with no memories and some
unusual abilities. Through the story, she struggles to discover who and what
she is as she comes to terms with her special talents. Episode Three will be
out soon.</span></span></div>

started several years ago - a line of children's books. My first one came out
today, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Beware-of-the-Nothings-ebook/dp/B009LCFMUQ" target="_blank">BEWARE OF THE NOTHINGS</a>. The book, written in rhyme, is targeted to children from 3 to 10, with child readability
centering around 2nd - 4th grade.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white; color: #00b050;">Tommy is afraid of the
dark. His angst is increased when he mother tells him there is
"nothing" to be afraid of. "Nothing?" What are nothings?
Tommy imagines the worst.</span></i><span style="color: #00b050;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #00b050;">The book will soon be available
in print on October 16th. </span></span></div>

pretty busy life. I spent twenty-four years in the Air Force as a personnel
superintendent. I’ve studied Hakkoryu Jujitsu since the seventies, and operated
my own dojo, (school), for twenty-five years. I was a manufacturer’s field
representative for fifteen years after I retired from the Air Force. My wife,
Jake, and I travelled the country demonstrating woodworking equipment, and
later, telescoping flagpoles at home and garden shows, woodworking shows,
fairs, and trade shows. I’ve also been a free-lance writer since the seventies,
doing articles and advertising agency copy.</span></span></div>

realize you wanted to be a writer?</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> <span style="color: blue;"> </span></span><span style="color: blue;">It may sound like a cliché, but I think I
was born as a writer. My first published piece was a poem that appeared in the
“Toledo Blade” newspaper when I was about eleven or twelve. Much of my early
work was lost in an accident in the seventies, but I still have copies of some.
(Some of which was amateur, at best).</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> <span style="color: blue;"> </span></span><span style="color: blue;">I wish I had a simple answer, but I don’t.
Ideas come to me, and I feel compelled to explore where they might take me, the
reader, and the character. Of course, selling my work also helps!</span></span></div>

genre you write in?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> <span style="color: blue;"> </span></span><span style="color: blue;">I really haven’t chosen a specific genre.
“BlackJack Bomber” has been called a military, action, suspense, mystery, spy,
young adult, and adventure novel. I have also written science fiction,
time-travel, and am currently outlining a philosophical time travel-piece that
involves Native Americans and mountain climbers. I want to explore zombie work,
but Joe McKinney does such a great job, I would have trouble following his act.

write this particular book?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> <span style="color: blue;"> </span></span><span style="color: blue;">The idea started out as a horror/mystery
piece with the working title “Northern California Story”, back in the early
eighties. I couldn’t find the right hooks for it. Later, I was stationed at
Mather Air Force Base in Rancho Cordova, Ca., where I happened to meet a great
military novelist, Dale Brown. He encouraged me to write, and, consequently,
“BlackJack Bomber” began to take shape. I had to wait until four back surgeries
took me out of the workplace to find time to finish it.</span></span></div>

book yet?</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> <span style="color: blue;"> </span></span><span style="color: blue;">Many. The sequel to “BlackJack Bomber” is
“BlackStar Bay”. It continues the exploits of the “BlackStar Ops Group, and should
be available mid-spring of 2013.</span></span></div>

do you do when you are not writing?</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> <span style="color: blue;"> </span></span><span style="color: blue;">Research, and also promote my work. As you
know, book signings and promotions occupy an inordinate amount of any writer’s
time. I spend time promoting other writers and their work, like Ken Farmer and
Buck Stienke. I enjoy reading their military fiction, but am currently
engrossed in their historical fiction piece, “The Nations”. It’s set here in
Oklahoma, very near where I live. I also have three grandchildren, and a loving
family who keep me busy.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt -0.25in; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Can you tell my readers a little bit
about yourself?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #4f81bd; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-themecolor: accent1;">I was born in Fort Worth, Texas, where I live and work, but I grew up in
Argentina, where I lived from age 3 until coming to the US for college. I had
the privilege of living in two world-class cities, Rosario and Buenos Aires,
and down in Comodoro Rivadavia, in the Patagonia, right on the frigid Atlantic
Ocean. I love music. I play trumpet and I sing tenor in my church choir. I do
occasional sketches and paintings and I’m an avid photographer. History
fascinates me and I love to learn about life all the way back to the earliest
times.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
What is your favorite quality about yourself?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #4f81bd; mso-themecolor: accent1;">I’m highly
affectionate and I love to learn.<br />
</span>What made you want to be a writer?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #4f81bd; mso-themecolor: accent1;">It’s a list. Are you
ready?: My mum loved 19<sup>th</sup>-century English literature and read a lot
of it to me when I was little; I have always loved a good story; writing always
got me my good grades at school and I always enjoyed it; I consume reams of
good literature as a reader; I discovered I have a lot I would like to say to
whoever may be interested and fiction is the most effective and palatable way
to say it; I dream stories and I feel compelled to put them down; Angela came
to me one day and I cannot but tell her story.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
How long have you been writing?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #4f81bd; mso-themecolor: accent1;">I have been writing
since the summer of 1997 when, on a walk through my campus, I saw the sun
glinting of the water jet of a fountain, and the Muse (or as Borges would say,
the spirit) spoke.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Why did you choose to write this particular book?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #4f81bd; mso-themecolor: accent1;">I had been casting
around for a book project in English (I first wrote short stories in Spanish)
when, during the lunch break of a Saturday workshop on getting published, the
three <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Angela</i> books came to me at
once, with main characters, locale, and story/theme arc. Once I started
writing, the characters compelled me to continue.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">How did you come up with the
title?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #4f81bd; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-themecolor: accent1;">The title comes from the main character, Angela Fournier, from the
situation at the start of the story (she moves with her mom and sisters to the
Texas coast from San Antonio because her parents divorced), and from the fact
that there will be two more books in the series.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">What do you do when you are not
writing?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #4f81bd; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-themecolor: accent1;">I teach Spanish at TCU. That’s my real job and it supports my writing
habit. I do a lot of work with students outside of class (freshman camps,
Habitat for Humanity spring break, etc.) and I am active in church. I read a
lot. All writers are readers.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Can you share a little of your current work with us?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #4f81bd; mso-themecolor: accent1;">I have already
written the second book of the three, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Angela
2: The Guardian of the Bay</i> and I am looking for a literary agent to help me
get a traditional publisher so my books will have more presence. The third book
(<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Silver Path of the Moon</i>) is planned
out and my idea is to start on it when <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Angela
2</i> gets published. After that I have several book projects in mind,
including a love story in a dystopian future. I am also writing more stories in
Spanish. I would love to get a bilingual version of them published.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
How and where can we purchase your book?</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>Can you tell us a little bit about yourself?</b><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"> Where to start? Well, I grew up in a small
town in Maryland where I met the other half of my soul. Marriage, children,
grandchildren, and writing has kept me busy ever since. I guess you can say
that I’m average. I love sappy movies, but I also love the fast paced ones that
feature lots of ‘SPLOSIONS. (I heard that word on the radio and made it mine.)
I’m an avid reader as long as the story is well written and can hold my
attention.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">When did you begin writing?</b> Funny
story, at least I think so. About 20 years ago, I was reading this book and
thought to myself “This is bad.” I mean, really bad as in I wanted to toss it
in the trash bad. Anyway, I was telling my sister about how bad this book was
and she said, “Why don’t you write a book?” And I thought, “Why not? How hard
can it be to write a book?” (Go ahead all you authors out there. Laugh. I do
every time I think about it.) Long story short, I’ve been writing for 20 years.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">What inspires you to write and
why?</b> So many things inspire me. A song on the radio, an unusual name on a
name tag, dreams, the actions of those around me. I’m an observer of people. If
I see something that captures my attention, I think, where can I put that in my
story? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>What do you do when you are not writing?</b><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"> I’m guilty of being a gamer. Not your War Of Warcraft type game, but the
cute little tap games you can download onto your iPad. They relax me. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Where did you get your idea for
Dragon Lover? </b>My youngest daughter came up with the idea. I’d just gotten
another rejection from yet another agent and was thinking I just wasn’t meant
to be published. My daughter came into my office and said, “Maybe you should
write about dragons.” You have to understand that her room was filled with
dragons from a mounted wall light to a dragon handled sword. So I told her,
“Why not?” It’s been a ride since then.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Is there a message in your novel
that you want readers to grasp? </b>I would have to say my message in this book
and the rest of the Dragon Hunters series is this. There are people that will
come into your life and try to destroy you for no other reason than you’re different.
Stand up to them. Embrace who you are. You are not alone.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">What are you most proud of
accomplishing so far in your life? </b>Beating the odds of today’s society. I
married when I was 17 and I’m still going strong. After all, I do write
romance, Urban Fantasy romance, but it’s romance. I don’t think I would be
where I am today if I didn’t have my best friend/husbands by my side.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Can you share a little of your
current work with us?</b> Currently, I’m working on 3 different projects. I’m
in the middle of editing the 3<sup>rd</sup> book in the Dragon Hunters series,
Child of the Dragon, due out in the fall of 2013. My grandchildren have been
asking for a book they can read, and so began the first of a YA paranormal
trilogy. And last but not least, a romantic suspense I’ve been playing around
with that has morphed into novel demanding to be seen.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">How and where can we purchase your
book?</b> You can purchase Dragon Lover now from the links below in both e-book
and print. The Dragon Within has been projected to be released October 6<sup>th</sup>.</div>

Thank you again for inviting me to your blog, and I’d like to close with
a question to all your readers. In one word, describe your High School
Experience. I’ll be checking in throughout the week and on Thursday the 13th, one lucky
commenter will win the print copies of both Dragon Lover and The Dragon Within.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: -.25in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>Can you tell us a little bit about yourself?</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">I
grew up in the inner city of Cleveland, Ohio. My mother was first-generation Slovak
and my father was of English-German descent. We lived in an old multi-ethnic
neighborhood on Cleveland’s Westside. After college and a career move in Ohio,
I relocated the family to Tulsa, Oklahoma. We’ve lived here 34 years and
consider Oklahoma home.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">My wife, Pam,
and I have been married forty-seven years. We have two grown boys and are more
in love as each day passes. Both of us are retired business professions and
authors. We critique each other’s work and are still married. Lol. I write dark
thrillers with anti-heroines and themes straight out of the news. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">When and why did you begin
writing?</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">I’ve always loved thrillers, and I wrote poems and
pieces for the Ohio University press. Then life interrupted with marriage,
kids, bills, and career moves. </span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">My grandparents came to America so their grandchildren could pursue
the American dream, and the American dream added up to dollars and cents.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">As I approached retirement, I’d
accomplished the American dream. So I launched my writing career. I studied
with Cecil Murphy and William Bernhardt, joined critique groups, entered
contests, and wrote every day. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Room 1515</i>
won the OWFI Mystery, Suspense, Thriller Competition in 2011, and the same year
I place 8<sup>th</sup> in the genre short story competition held by Writer’s Digest.
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">What inspires you to write and
why?</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">In 2006, I looked
toward the future and decided to plan for a different career. As Pam and I
watched television, or enjoyed a movie, I’d whisper to her, “Watch and see.
Here’s what going to happen next.” Then I’d say, “I could do better than that.”
Doing better takes time. I’ve studied the craft since 2006, and I learn more
every day.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Why did you choose to write this
particular book?</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; tab-stops: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">I was inspired by<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">
Harry Wilson’s War, </i>a true story about a congressman who arms the Afghans
to fight the Russians. The book opens with lobbyist and the congressman in a
pool being entertained by female escorts. This is the setting of<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> Room 1515.</i> I love politics. I love
international intrigue.</span> <span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Ever read novels
were the bad guys have no redeeming character and the good guys are Dudley
Do-Rights. The real world is not this way. The more conflicted people and
events are the better your novel will be. I mentioned the anti-heroine earlier.
To put a true protagonist, loyal, honest, loves dogs, into <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Room 1515,</i> would be sinful. I want an anti-heroine, a flawed woman
pursing the enemies of her country, until she questions the tactics of her own
government. I don’t want an evil antagonist either. Instead of Doctor No, I
want to be unique. Create a sympathetic character with a noble purpose,
likeable with being ruthless. Unique, complex characters hold readers
interests.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>How did you come up with the title?</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Room 1515 </span></i><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">is a suite in the Emerald hotel, a hotel built by
Homeland Security to monitor the activities of congressmen, lobbyist, and their
guests. Peacock, the anti-heroine, runs the female escort service for Homeland
security in <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Room 1515. </i>She can woo
you or kill you. The government tells her which.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Have you started another book
yet?</b></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">The sequel to <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Room 1515, Global Conquest,</i> is in final
draft. Another novel, a psycho-thriller, is going to press as of this writing.</span><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"> <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The
Fifth Step </i></span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">is
</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">about an out of control pornography
addict. A prominent preacher’s addiction threatens to destroy his reputation,
his ministry, and his wife’s life. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The
Fifth Step</i> comes from the 12-Step Program, Step 5: Admitted to God,
ourselves, and another human being, the exact nature of our wrongs.</span><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>What do you do when you are not writing?</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">I speak to
writer’s groups and do Internet radio and television interviews. </span><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">I’m active in my church. I’ve taught Sunday
school there for 20 years. I’m treasurer of the Tulsa Nightwriters. I’m an
active blogger when I doubt have deadlines. I design my own book trailers, and
I work with my wife on her novels. Oh yes, I read. Tom Clancy and Stieg Larrson
are two of my favorite authors.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Where do you see yourself in
five years?</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
I will have over ten books published. I will hit the<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> New York Times Best Sellers List</i>. I’ll
be invited to be the Keynote Speaker at major writer’s conferences. I have no
plans to slow down or to retire. You see, first you have to have a great book.
Then you have to market, market, market.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>First off, I want to thank you, CL, for taking the time to talk with me
today.</b></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>Can you tell us a little bit about yourself?</b><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"> Well, I’m originally from North Carolina,
but I lived in Southern California, San Diego, for longer than anywhere else. I
left for the military two days after graduating high school and never looked
back! I’ve held many jobs, with my current day job/career being a techie
for a Fortune 500 company. But, my passion has always been for writing. I wrote
my first short story for Spanish class as a freshman in high school, got an A+
and a note from the teacher saying I needed to continue my storytelling. Well,
needless to say, that is advice I took to heart! I’ve written innumerable short
stories, some of which have won various awards; and I wrote my first
full-length novel, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Weight of Night</i>,
in 2010, published in 2011. I am the C.E.O. and co-founder of <a href="http://www.darkredpress.com/">Dark Red Press, LLC</a>., an independent
publishing company. We’ve been busy in the last year, releasing five novels, a
free Halloween-themed short story collection, and a DRP sci-fi post-apocalyptic
novella collection.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">What is your favorite quality
about yourself?</b> I guess it would have to be that I am pretty
even-keeled.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s very difficult to get
me angry. (If you’ve seen my photo, you’ll realize that this is a good thing,
indeed.)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Heh-heh.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I just prefer to be happy, I suppose.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">What made you want to be a writer?</b>
Honestly, I never really thought about that question very seriously until just
now. What I’ve come up with is: my grandfather. That man could spin a yarn! He
grew up in the Depression era. So, telling stories was a favored form of
entertainment. I guess I really get that from him.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">How long have you been writing?</b> I
wrote my first short story at the age of fourteen. I haven’t stopped writing
since!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Why did you choose to write this
particular book?</b> Oh, this is a tale, indeed. Let me shorten it a bit,
though. Don’t want to bore your fine readers now! You see, back in 2003, I was
part of an online writing community (then called Arcane Artistry, now called
Legend Fire). Once in a while I would enter one of their contests. Once I
entered a predetermined title contest, meaning we were given a title and had to
write a story to fit it. The story that came from that was <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Darkness In Avenhale</i>. Amazingly, I took top prize! The greatest
(and most) feedback I received was that folks wanted more of the tale. So, I
set out to write a novel. Let me tell you, that is NOT an easy task. What began
as a 3k-word short became an 80k word novel over the course of six-plus years.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>How did you come up with the title?</b><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"> As I mentioned above, the original title wasn’t <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Weight of Night</i>. However, after I wrote the novel, having
experienced Alexis’ fears and powers and tragedies, the title just seemed to
fit.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>What do you do when you are not writing?</b><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"> I’ve been known to dabble in music; painting; web design and
development; and, I am a professional photographer, as well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is not to mention my duties as head of <a href="http://www.darkredpress.com/">Dark Red Press</a> <b>and</b> my “day job.”
I tend to stay busy!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Can you share a little of your
current work with us?</b> I am currently working on two separate pieces: the
sequel to <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Weight of Night</i> being the
main WIP. It was originally supposed to be titled Red Tome; however, the more I
write, the more the title pops up as “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Hearts
In Aether</i>.” In addition, I am working on an urban fantasy thriller—the
first in my <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Valence Of Infinity</i>
series—<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Blood of Others</i>. I’ve come
up with a serious twist on the old-hat vampire tales. This one ain’t for the
kiddies, folks! You can keep up with Paris and Garrett and others from the
novel at their Facebook and Twitter sites:</div>
