23. How long does it usually take you to complete an entire story—from planning to writing to posting sending out? Well, the first draft of Fie Eoin took me three years to complete (keep in mind that I was not seeking to write for publication at this time – I wrote cause I was a […]

22. Tell us about one scene between your characters that you’ve never written or told anyone about before! A scene I’ve never written or told anyone about? I’m not sure if that exists. I mean, of course there are scenes that I’ve not yet written or told anyone about, but not out of some “you

21. Do any of your characters have children? How well do you write them? Many of my characters have children (if not in their current book, then in the future) and I’m pretty good at writing children, but the only book I currently have written with a small child is Lane’s Girl. Lane’s daughter, Mikayla,

20. What are your favorite character interactions to write? Hmmm, I’m really not sure for this question. I love to write fight scenes (verbal, not physical), so Lane and Rebecca are high up on my list of who I love to write interacting with each other. But I also love it when Gar goes all

19. Favorite minor that decided to shove himself into the spotlight and why! I think I will have to say Monk on this one. Thomas “Monkey” Preston is Gar’s best friend in Fie Eoin, and although he didn’t even exist in the original first draft, he elbowed his way into the second draft and now

18. Favorite antagonist and why! Joseph “Pike” Bayn is everyone’s favorite antagonist, of course! He’s Gar’s brother and Kindra’s rival all through Fie Eoin, and even get’s his name smack dab in the title of the sequel: Pike’s Revenge. And it’s not really that he’s a bad guy (at least not at first) but he’s

17. Favorite protagonist and why! Since you all know about Rebecca and Kindra, I’m going to tell you today about Karigan, who seems to have usurped the other two as favorite for the week (this isn’t hard – Karigan seems to gather worlds around her much like Rebecca does, to the point that I’m not

16. Do you write romantic relationships? How do you do with those, and how “far” are you willing to go in your writing? You know, when I first had my mom read some of my writing, she gave me a book called “Outlander” by Diana Gabaldon, and told me to read it and learn how

15. Midway question! Tell us about a writer you admire, whether professional or not! That’s easy. Along with the list I wrote a few days ago, about my favorite authors/books, I would have to say the writer I admire most (and know in real life) is Jocelyn Rish. She’s currently fighting it out (and doing

14. How do you map out locations, if needed? Do you have any to show us? I don’t generally map out locations on paper, because I really suck at drawing. There is a map of Fie Eoin somewhere, because I was trying to decide what order to put the Seven Tribes in (I still can’t
