Amanda: Give us a quick introduction to you. Published books, what you write, etc.
Annamarie: Young Fae published Nov 2018 and Mysterious Fae will be published July
2019. I write PNR, poems, horror, erotica, and various types of anthology.
Amanda: Favorite book you’ve published so far?
Annamarie: Young Fae was such a learning experience for me. I learned a lot about
making my characters real and how to tell a story with more detail.
Amanda: Most fun character to write? Favorite character to write? (Because they can definitely be different. ;) ) Hardest to write?
Annamarie: Asha had so much happen to her that I loved writing her story. Solesis was hard for me as I never really wrote a bad guy before.
Amanda: Did you like to read as a child? Favorite book? Do you still have that book or reread it now?
Annamarie: I have loved to read since age five. My favorite book was Little Women
and I still have a copy of it. That is my comfort read. I am reading it
this summer with my daughter.
Amanda: Have you always been a writer/storyteller? How did you start?
Annamarie: Yes I always would tell stories to my friends and this led to me writing out my stories I would tell.
Amanda: Do you write to music? If so, what kind? I love to hear about new music!
Annamarie: Sometimes I listen to music or will have the tv on for background noise.
With music its usually country or its whatever links my friends send
me.
Amanda: I know for me, there have been some funny stories since I’ve been deep in the trenches of writing. Like a realization about a work in progress or characters (the funniest has to do with the song Mirrors by JT.) Do you have any funny stories that you’d like to share?
Annamarie: I was writing a sex scene and listening to the song " Knockin Boots" and
ended up having to rewrite the scene because the song bled into the
scene and it didn't flow right.
Amanda: Do you have a typical process or any writing rituals? Anything you have to have with you while writing? (Besides computer, paper, typewriter, whichever…)
Annamarie: I have to have soda and snacks, usually chocolate or chips.
Amanda: Who is a character that has influenced you (not from your books)?
Annamarie: So many characters, but right now it would be Gaston from Ja LaFrances
Gaston's Confession. He took a big risk and faced and owned up to who he
really is.
Amanda: Which of your characters would you least want to go on a road trip with? Why? Most want to?
Annamarie: Solesis because he is greedy, selfish, and not a nice guy. Draven would
be fun to travel with as he has a great sense of humor and is so
informative.
Amanda: Top three favorite books and authors right now.
Annamarie: Sweet Treats Cafe: Blood Orange Sunday by Leah Negron
From the Darkness by Ja LaFrance
Cocksman by AR Vidal
Amanda: Favorite writing craft book or resource?
Annamarie: I love using the forums at Camp Nano they are great resource and if you
are on Facebook another amazing resource is Alessandra Torres Inkers.
Also feel free to reach out to other indie authors, most like to help
out.
