Does this book have a special
meaning to you? i.e. where you found the idea, its symbolism, its meaning, who
you dedicated it to, what made you want to write it?
I was inspired to write the sequel, Mamma’s Moon, by my editor of One
More Last Dance. A worldwide bestseller himself he encouraged me to try to
add to the story, keep the characters alive. He said the storyline and style
had a Longfellow – like approach. When I
finished it, he said it was a Capote or Tennessee Williams quality. The story
has meaning to me as Chapter one happened to me in real life.
Where do you get your storylines
from?
From real life. From
my own experiences or ones that I study.
Was this book easier or more
difficult to write than others? Why?
Second books in a series are easier for me. Characters have been set, backdrops
established. I do good research so the words should come quickly.
Do you only write one genre?
I’ve written a self-help book (best seller); I’ve written
young adult novels; I’ve written Memoirs and nonfiction short stories; I’ve
written adult crimes and mysteries.
Give us a picture of where you write,
where you compose these words…is it Starbucks, a den, a garden…we want to know
your inner sanctum?
My writing studios in
Southampton and Dallas.
And finally, of course…was there any specific event or circumstance
that made you want to be a writer?
My mother reading to me as a child – telling me I was an
aware child – her writer.
Thanks for hosting!
