Interview questions
Hi Raebeth thank you for accepting to be
interviewed. As my blog says ‘ Complete randomness from a
crazy author’ so expect the unexpected J
How long have you wanted to be a
writer?
I’ve
always been a writer. It’s just recently that I’ve considered myself as an
author. I’ve written short stories and poems. As an adult, I’ve exchanged the
short stories and poems for novels.
Have you come up against any
hurdles along the way?
Of
course. When I first began expanding on Silenced (which started as a short
story) I was a new mom. So in between learning to be a mom I was writing. I’ve
moved several times while writing Silenced so this made it harder to finish.
But I finally accomplished it and I’m thrilled.
That’s
brilliant. I know exactly where you are coming from. I wrote one short story
just after I had my youngest. Then my eldest was asking me for another story
and I was moving home J
What
would you say is the most difficult thing about being a writer is?
I
would say right now would be finding the time to write. I have my six year old
daughter and I’m pregnant with my second. I’m a stay at home mom and therefore
the household chores are my duty as well.
Snap!
I try and write when everyone is in bed, that way I can give my writing my full
attention, but still I get side tracked lol.
What
or who inspires you to write?
Life
inspires me to write and so does my daughter. I gleam with happiness when I see
her sitting on the couch with one of my books pretending to read it. She has so
much support for me.. That it’s actually inspiring to write more.
Children
are amazing. My series is named after my eldest and she has a sister in it who
is named after my youngest J
If your books are a series, how many books do
you plan to have in your series?
At
this time there’s only two books. First is Silenced and I’m working on the
second. I’ve titled the second Silenced: The Overtaking.
Do
you have any other writing projects on the go, apart from your current series?
Yes
I do. It’s a paranormal book.
If
you could be any of your characters who would it be and why?
I
would be the main character out of my paranormal book I’m writing. Although I
can’t say why because I don’t want to give anything away about this book just
yet.
What
genre would you say your books are in?
Silenced
& Silenced: The Overtaking are in young adult, suspense, and general
fiction.
“Unknown”
(I am unsure exactly if I’m going to stick with the current title) is in the
paranormal genre.
Do
you have any favourite authors?
Yes
I have a lot of favorite authors. To name a few…. Edgar Allen Poe and Stephen
King.
As
a Brit we have one burning question going around our country…………… Do you scrunch or fold? ;) (toilet paper)
Totally
threw me off with this one… LOL…. Fold..
LOL
I do like to be random ;)
What
do you like to do besides writing?
I
enjoy reading, spending time with family, or dancing all crazy to loud music
with my daughter. Therefore… I work on making memories too.
You
sound like me lol.
What
is your favourite cheese?
I
really don’t like cheese.
Sweet
or savoury?
Sweet
Would
you rather be attacked by one horse sized duck or 20 duck sized horses?
I
would say one horse sized duck. I’m not coordinated enough to watch all 20 duck
sized horse. Therefore that one is a guaranteed loss.
If
you had one wish that I could wave a magic wand and grant you, what would it be
and why?
I would want depression, self harm, and cancer
to be non-existent.
Thank you Raebeth for taking the
time to answer my questions. I love your name J
