INTERVIEW
Welcome to We Do Write, Tish! When and why did you begin
writing?
In 2010 I woke up from a dream
and had the title of my first book running through my head. Minutes later, I
knew the other two titles, and had the entire story-line of The Rose Trilogy
all worked out.
Who encouraged you or what made
you decide to write a novel and seek publication?
I’ve been a member of Shelfari
since 2007, and was asked to become a Librarian for them after putting in
countless hours of editing. Being so emerged in books and seeing all the
wonderful series on a daily basis while working in the backend of the site, to
say that books had become my life, was an understatement. I’m now one of 13
Librarians for the hundreds of thousands of members, as well as one of it’s top
50 editors.
What drew you to write
Paranormal Romance?
I always go back to the phrase,
“Write what you know.” And while my genre is considered paranormal for the
unrealistic and fantastical elements, it’s what I know. It’s what I prefer to
read and what I’ve studied in my actual life. (Psstt...in case you’re
wondering, yes, I’m a witch.)
Of all your characters, who’s
your favorite, and why?
Raven. She’s tough but
sensitive, sexy but tom-boyish, and has a wicked sense of humor and a sharp
tongue.
What would you love to write
someday but haven’t yet?
I started a contemporary romance
trilogy that I’d love to return to. I just have to figure out how to write it
without someone getting bitten and turning into a vampire or werewolf. LOL
Were books a big part of your
life growing up? If so, what books would you say influenced you most as a
child?
Actually...no. My mother was the
reader in the family and to this day, she teases me about how it took thirty
some years for me to finally catch on.
What are two things people might
be surprised to know about you?
I’m 44, have 16 tattoos, and
cuss like a sailor. (Sorry, Grandma.)
I started teaching dance when I
was 15 years old.
When you’re not writing, what do
you enjoy doing?
Watching TV and movies, and
playing games with my family.
Three things always found in
your refrigerator:
Stuffed olives, Soda, Cheese
Writing is often a sedentary
profession. Is there anything you do to beat stress and keep in shape?
I hike and exercise in my home,
and dance as often as possible.
You’re in line at Starbucks.
What are you ordering?
Java Chip Frap with Whip or a
Caramel Apple Spice
Where do you go when you need to
recharge?
Sedona, AZ or back home to
Colorado.
