Q) What made you decide to become a writer?—Question by reader Jill Bryant.
A)I've always enjoyed telling stories & being an author helps me share with others. I'm very blessed to be able to create interesting stories which entertain readers. :)
Q) Besides being a bestselling author, what other goals/dreams do you have? Aka: what do you wanna be when you grow up?—Question by author Shirelle Higgins
A) I've had the good fortune to meet authors who are like 'rock stars' in their genres & would like to entertain readers while making it a long time career goal.
Q) When you write a story that does really well is there ever pressure to make the next one just as successful or do you just go with the flow and let the chips fall where they may? How do you handle the ups and downs of the business?—Question by reader A.W. Brad
A)Even though I enjoy what I do as an author, I understand that it IS a business too. And, like everything in life, has its ups and downs. But, no matter what, I take it one step at a time.
Q) What’s the one story line you haven't tackled but you'd actually PAY to be able to write?—Question by author Dréa Riley
A) Writers get paid TO write, not PAY to write. I live by that rule, but I always try to write stories which I really enjoy & entertain me as well as my readers too.
Q) Do you research stories? If so, what's the furthest you'd ever go to get the story?—Question by author Eden Royce
A)Thank goodness for Google & the internet! I'm also very fortunate to know folks who live different lifestyles and have privately asked them questions & gotten info or advice from them. I also have personal experience which may help in stories too, but I blend it all into my stories to keep them interesting & entertaining.
Q) When you write a character how much of you or people you know are that imitated in that character?—Question by reader Cherryce Williams
A)That's like revealing my 'secret sauce' recipe --and, sorry, I'm not telling! LOL!
Q) What hurts worse; a bad fan review, peer review, or critic's review?—Question by reader Cece Dreams
A) IMHO, reviews are just someone's opinion of your stories. I enjoy good reviews, but I also understand that everyone has different tastes & preferences. However, I will take into consideration feedback & suggestions from my peers & mentors in the writing field. Perhaps their insight can teach me something new or help me to make my story even better. :)
Q) Which comes first for you; the character(s), or the story idea?—Question by author Thomas Olbert
A) It's a mixed bag, for me. I usually get a story idea along with a title, then start sensing how to tell the story in my head before my fingers touch the keyboards. A good, basic outline also helps to keep my story on track so I don't venture too far away from the overall story idea.
Q) Is your writing life imitating art or art imitating life? –Question by author Dréa Riley
A) I've always had a creative imagination, but I also add 'real life' elements into the stories & characters to make it all work together.
Q) What’s next for you as an author?—Question by author Nikki Winter
A)I currently writing a Christmas story for a publisher, then going to write on a series which I've been asked to write more of by another publisher. So I think the rest of this year I will be happily busy writing while promoting the ebooks I already have available.
Well there you have it good people. Sabrina has undercover sources to let her in on the subjects she delves into, she has a secret sauce recipe for her characters which made me giggle because I have the mind of an adolescent boy, and she's well on her way to creating many more enjoyable tales. But at the moment you can check her out on her website and her latest addition to MMP right here at http://www.sabrinaluna.com/index.html and http://mochamemoirspress.com/mocha-buddies-31-steamy-mocha/. That's all folks! (cues Looney Toons music)
