Is it Tuesday all ready? Wow, how time has flown since last week. I hope that you enjoyed your visit with A.S. Fenichel at her blog  http://asfenichel.net/blog  By the way, Andrea's new book "Ascension, The Demon Hunters" went on sale this week.

This weeks three questions, given to us by the amazing Beth Carter (who recently released "Thursdays at Coconuts"), are about the writing craft. So, here goes:


Question 1.  Which type of character do you prefer writing about: Sexy, romantic, sweet, quirky, mean, old, young, smart, silly or other?

While I like to put myself into the Heroine's position, especially when it's a romantic or spicy sex scene, I think it's more fun to write about the villain. It's fun to be bad on paper, and to be able to do really wicked things. My villain's also tend to be murderers, and it's interesting to get into the minds of my evil-doers on paper.

I enjoy writing through the villain's perspective, sharing their motivations, and what caused them to do whatever evil thing transpired. Please don't get me wrong. I don't write horrific crime scenes with blood and gore. My bad girls or guys, tend to be motivated by greed or revenge, and don't usually make too much of a mess.


Question 2.  Have you ever killed off (or gotten back at) an ex in your writing? On paper, of course.

No, I haven't done that. Yet.


Question 3.  What hobbies do you have that you incorporate in your writing?

This is an easy one. Golf. To be honest, I'm not very good at it, but I really enjoy it, so that makes it more fun. The last novel I wrote was called "Trying or Par", and my heroine was a golf pro. It was fun to write about a series of murders at a golf resort. I might use a golf theme in another novel in the future.

By the way, I actually made a par on this hole! It's what keeps me coming back. That one hole where everything worked - it's the best feeling.


Now that you're done visiting with me, please take time to visit with the wonderful Vicki Mixon at her website  http://vickimixon.com/ 

Hope to see you next time.

Warmly,

Mikki
