PART FOUR – A FEW PERSONAL QUESTIONS!
M: When you are reading for pleasure, what is the one thing that will make you put down the book and quit reading?
Carol: Not hunger, not thirst, not a ringing phone. I will only put down the book if one of my dogs is whining to go outside.
M: HA! I like the audio feature on Kindle2 as I can listen while I am in the kitchen scrounging a drink or snack! For outside with the dogs I use my MP3 with Audible books!
What is the most unique thing about you?
Carol: That which makes us all unique--being the sum-total of my experiences. I have a need to write about these experiences even if I was only observing the main action.
For years, I was a single mother and family breadwinner. This experience drove me into male-dominated fields--working in and writing about trucking, construction, and information technology--so I could earn enough to support my kids. I learned a lot about the male animal and like to write from the man’s point-of-view, as I did for Love’s Reflection.
I love to read about experiences I haven’t had and places I haven’t seen.
M: Wonderful. Your readers are richer for your sharing your experiences through your books!
Tell us a little about your next book or WIP please!
Carol: I’m writing an early 20th century historical. It’s to honor two women I know of who barely survived WW I, and to give them the happy endings they never had.
M: Oh – that sounds very interesting!! How lovely to write it to honor some friends! I’ll look forward to reading that book too!
