Every once
in a while, you stumble upon a book (or series of books) that looks intriguing
enough, interesting enough, and just fun enough that you can’t help but dive in
head first – even when you’re already waist deep and sinking in everything else
you’re already doing, reading and involved in. That’s sort of how this post,
and tomorrow’s, came to be. If you’ve played around on this blog by checking
out the other pages/tabs across the top, you may have noticed that I have a
review request form that authors, their PA’s or even readers can fill out in
the hopes of having me read a specific book to review and/or talk about here on
Ups, Downs, Ins & Outs. And
sometimes a book that is requested captivates me just enough that I can’t wait
to do something, anything with it… That’s where today comes in.
Today I’m
sharing with you the interview I did with Indie Author Sonia Taylor Brock, writer of The
Swamp Witch series. And pssssst… if you stick around to the end, Sonia and
I have a BIG SURPRISE for you all too!
THE INTERVIEW
[centered/italicized
= LDF; normal = STB]
Why (or how) did you
decide to be a writer?
I have
always dabbled in writing, but concentrated on my art for many years. [Then] I was given really good advice from
another writer that helped me take the plunge.
He told me to write what I know and write what I like to read. I knew exactly what that should be. Once the inspiration started, I haven’t been
able to shut it off.
