Why do you write? I’ve always had stories coursing through my veins, so one day I just decided to start writing them down, and I found pleasure in doing that. Then when people started reading and enjoying them, I found out what real happiness is.
Describe where you write. When I’m at home, I write in a chair in the corner of my bedroom. Many times I can’t concentrate (read: get in my writing zone) at home so I go to a bookstore coffee shop or library. I like to be surrounded by books.
Who or what is your muse? I guess I’d call my potential readers my muse.
Three wishes . . . 1. I wish I had more time to write 2. I wish more people knew about my debut novel 3. I wish people were kinder and happier.
Favorite childhood book, and why? Black Beauty…because I loved horses…and although there was sadness in it, it had a happy ending.
Explain when is your ideal time to write. Early afternoon and late at night
Name a book you would reread again and again, and why. Peace Like a River by Leif Enger…because of the beauty of the prose. I love the way he uses language to paint pictures…the way he makes verbs out of words that aren’t usually verbs.
E-book or print? Why? Print…I just haven’t converted…yet. I like the feel of pages turning. I like using bookmarks. I like bookstores.
Favorite magazine, and why? Victoria…because the writing is as beautiful as the photographs
What would you like readers to take away from your writing? Pure enjoyment. I want them to get caught up in another world. To get to know the characters. To care about the characters.

Rebecca, thank you for sharing. I like to be surrounded by books, too, although I’ve been better lately at passing them on to others. Congratulations on your first novel!
