An Interview With Michelle PillowTell us a bit about yourself. What would you like us to know about you? I'm a romance author who loves her work. I recently won an RT Reviewers' Choice award for the book, Maiden and the Monster. I have several print books published (more in ebook). You can see them here:www.michellepillow.com/booklist.htm. My first book was published April 2004. What are you doing now? (Career? Married? Single? Children? Pets?) Happily married. We own a successful business which allows me to focus on my writing career. What is your favourite food? Chicken Parmesan What is your favourite colour? Amethyst What is your favourite sound? Ocean waves Who is your favourite person? What is your favourite place? Home What is your favourite memory? Laughter What is your favourite article of clothing? Pajama Pants What is your favourite word? Obsession What is your favourite writers' quote and why? "In vain I have struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you." - Mr Darcy, Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austin What is your most favourite quality about yourself? Hard Work Ethic What is the least favourite quality about yourself? My hatred of the alarm clock If you could go anywhere in the world right now, where would it be and why? Slovakia, why not? What inspires you to write and why? I love creating stories that make people smile and believe in love. What is your favourite book and why? Nope. Too hard. Would be much easier to separate them by time period and genre, lol. What is your favourite genre and why? Romance. I believe in happy endings. List your three favourite authors (any genre) and why? Mandy Roth - Cause she's awesome and puts up with my craziness What do you think makes a writer successful? Research. Whta is it that makes you successful as a writer? Hard work and researching everything What are your goals as a writer? To continue to be employed. To someday work on a non-fiction project. To write magazine columns. What is the best tip you can give to fellow writers? Research everything--your book, the industry, promotions and marketing What do you hope to provide your readers with through your writing? escape List your three favourite online writer-resource sites and why (include URLS). 1. www.michellepillow.c ... _links.htm If you have published a book, tell us about your publishing success (title, publishing date and company, where it is available to purcahse). Too many to list here - Booklist link with all info: www.michellepillow.com/booklist.htm How long did it take you to write your book(s)? Depends on the book. Anywhere from one to four months is average. What would you do differently if you could repeat the same publishing experience? Research marketing and promotion BEFORE getting published. What have you learned about the publishing world? Each author is their own business. Selling the book to a publisher is only about 1/4 of the work. This is your chance to 'Talk Back' to your readers. What would you like to say to them? Thank you. You all RAWK! What's the one thing that you want them to know about your writing? I write at different sensuality levels and in many sub-genres of romance--paranormal, historical, contemporary, futuristic, fantasy, dark fantasy |
