- What do you think are the basic
ingredients of a story?
Do the story's plot and sub-plots resonate
with the experiences, concerns, needs, dreams and challenges readers face? The
characters need to be recognizable to the readers. No detail about what one of
my characters wears, eats, drives, and the like is too small to include.
Finally, I believe my readers bring intelligence and experience to the page; I
do not attempt to “write down” to my readers nor do I try to control my books'
vocabulary or concepts.

- What voice do you find most to your
liking: first person or third person?
Third person is easier. I'm experimenting with
first person.
