I'd like to welcome, Sandra Hennig, to my blog today for an Author Interview.
Tell us about your latest release.
--- My latest release is Leave No
Crumb Unturned.
What
kind of research did you do?
--- I
did a lot of research on the City of Paris and the layout of the tunnels under
it which are a combo of mining tunnels and Catacombs.
What process did you use to pick your characters’
names?
--- It’s always hard to
pick a name. You want one that sounds like a real person. I guess I already had
the name in mind.
Are your characters based on anyone you know?
--- No they are fictional.
Did
any of your characters sometime take over and write the book themselves?
---Who? The lead character some times
did but not too much. I had an idea on how I wanted her to develop in the
story.
What
do you prefer: ebook or print? Why?
--- I prefer a printed copy. I am on the computer a lot
during the day so when I read I like to unplug.
How long have
you been writing? When did you decide to become an author?
--- I have been writing for about
three years. I guess that makes me an author at the point I started writing.
What
did you do when you received your first Acceptance Letter?
--- Cheered!
All
writers suffer from writer’s block at least once in their career. What’s your
go-to cure?
--- Keep writing
something. You might edit it out later but it will help you get going again.
Sometimes
the romance genre gets a bad reputation for being cliché and full of Fabios. How do you respond to that?
--- I don’t right romance and what there is of it
in the book is grounded.
We
all need a little inspiration in our lives. What’s your favorite quote and why?
--- “Stop wearing your
wishbone where your back bone ought to be.”
It means stop dreaming and do it. Most people done they just talk about
things but never have the guts to try them.
Any
advice for the aspiring authors out there? Particularly those who are feeling a
little discouraged.
--- Keep working at it. As friends and family for their option on your
writing and what could be changed or added.
What
is your favorite book and author?
--- There are many. One is Gone With the Wind. I really don’t have a favorite author.
Where can we find your books?
--- On Amazon.com
How do you market your
books?
--- I use twitter, facebook, and other
marketing channels.
Besides
writing and reading what are some of your other hobbies?
--- I enjoy traveling and working with horse rescues.
What’s
your most bizarre life experience?
--- My husband and I were visiting a friend in South Germany near Neuschwanstein castle in the middle of winter. The county side was covered in snow. The friend took us to a barn that house an old circus camel. While taking a photo of it, it reached out and bit me.
Thanks so much for stopping by, Sandra.
