1. What do you wish people would ask you about your writing?
Anything specific, really. Names, characters, scenes, endings, beginnings, things that are more detailed than the usual general questions. While I'm always happy to talk about any of my books in the broader sense, I really enjoy talking to people who have read them and want to know the behind-the-scenes type stuff.
2. Which of your characters would you most like to meet and why?
Everyone has a favorite character, don't they? There's no question that I'd like to meet Vayen from my Narvan series, maybe for a few drinks in a quiet corner of a bar somewhere. We've been working together for over thirty years, but I'm sure there are facets of his life I've yet to discover that might inspire some short stories or perhaps another Narvan book at some point. As of right now, the series is complete with the last two books that will be out this fall. But who knows?
3. What is the most embarrassing thing you've done or seen on Zoom (or a Zoom-like platform) other than me stuffing my face with fried chicken?
Oh, I don't know, the chicken feasting was pretty hilarious. Ha! Most of my online interactions have been pretty uneventful in that sense. I suppose the other one that comes to mind was a Zoom interview I did that was going so well until the interviewer's cell phone went off in the middle of it. In a purse, that she had to dig for, of course. Even though we carried on afterward, she was unable to edit that out so we had to re-record the entire thing at a later date, at which point, I had someone talking in the background on my end while I was trying to do the reading portion, and it was super distracting. As with writing, do-overs are never as good as the original.
