GIVEAWAY:
Thanks again for visiting! Be sure to leave a comment below to be entered to win a copy of my book in either print or electronic form.
How did you start your writing career?
Quite honestly,
I've been writing since I was young. I entered several contests
growing up, won many awards, a few were published. I wrote for the
yearbook and newspaper in high school and college, but decided to get
a business degree in accounting, while minoring in journalism and
design. As a graduate student, for fun, I took a creative writing
class. Once I did that, there was no turning back!
Tell us about a favorite character from a book.
If I chose a
favorite character from any book out there, I would have to say
there's a tie. My favorite book of all time is Charlotte's Web and I
love Fern. There's such an innocence about her and watching her grow
up learning how life really works.
The second would
be Travis Thompson, the male main character in Debbie Macomber's
“Morning Comes Softly.” Travis is given his brother's three
children to raise after their death and he has to find a wife and
learn to live with four strangers. I love the way he grows as a
person, emotionally, spiritually and as a husband and father.
Where do you dream of traveling to and why?
Europe. I lived
in Germany for two years, traveled some while there, but if I could
go back, I'd go to every country over there. The landscaping, the way
of life, the views, the weather and more.
Does travel play in the writing of your books?
Technically, I
should head to Nebraska and actually see what it looks like since my
books are set there! I also have characters living in Seattle, but I
feel I know what the state of Washington looks like through Debbie
Macomber's books. I have characters living in Texas, but that's my
home state and I know all about that!
Who is your favorite author?
Debbie Macomber
is my absolute favorite author! Her work has inspired me and helped
me grow as a writer.
When in the day/night do you write? How long per day?
When I used to
work full-time, I would write from about 10pm until one or two in the
morning. Now that I am a full-time author, I typically write from
10am to 2pm while the kids are in school.
What is the hardest part of writing your books?
Figuring out
where to go next.
What does your significant other and family think of your writing career?
At first, my
husband thought it was a joke. Then all my husband complained about
was how much time it took to write something I probably was never
going to publish. Now that I've published two books, he's letting me
do this as a full-time career.
Does your significant other read your
stuff?
Nope! He doesn't
read any books at all.
What was one of the most surprising things you learned while writing your books?
I learned that
writing is harder than it looks! Putting a coherent story together,
keeping characters straight and making it sound legitimate. It's
hard!
Who are your books published with?
CreateSpace
Do you hear from your readers? What kinds of questions do they ask?
I have several
friends who have read my books and they love them. I had one person
ask me if I'm from Nebraska and I had to admit I've never been there
before!
What do you think makes a good story?
Plot line, more
description than conversation and good setting
Tell us about your family.
I've been married
for seventeen years to my high school sweetheart. We have four
children, three daughters and a son.
Do you listen to music while writing?
If so what?
Classical. I open
iTunes where I have a playlist of over 200 classical pieces of music,
pick a song to start on and I begin writing.
What was the scariest moment of your life?
I sent my husband
off to war in 2004. When he called and said this might be the last
time I ever spoke to him, it brought this entire war he was fighting
in to life.
What books have most influenced your
life?
I read J.D.
Salinger, George Orwell, Herman Melville, Ayn Rand and the like
growing up. Those are definitely the styles I now know I could never
write. That's why I write what I do!
How do you develop your plots and your characters? Do you use any set formula?
No formula, I
simply write.
If you were to write a series of novels, what would it be about?
This is a funny
question as I am writing a series of novels! This series is all about
two families merging together and learning to live as one. The other
books branch off and you see other families connect, but you always
come back to the main family. I would love one day to write another
series about time travel, but that's in the future.
As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
A math teacher. I
still do!
What are your favorite TV shows?
Oh geez! I have a lot! Doctor Who, Big
Bang Theory, M*A*S*H, Vegas, Elementary, Amazing Race, Top Gear,
anything with Gordon Ramsey, Star Trek, The Cosby Show, Wings, and
lots more!
What songs are most played on your Ipod?
The song most
played on my iPod is “Geronimo” by Audiogroove. The next three
are albums: A Prairie Home Companion, Mamma Mia and Love Actually.
What is your favorite meal?
I have two
depending on my mood: Chicken Fried Steak, Mashed Potatoes and Ranch
Style Beans or SEAFOOD of any kind!
What group did you hang out with in high school?
The band, I was
an official band nerd.
Do you play any sports?
Softball and
basketball
What do you do to unwind and relax?
I like swimming
to relax. Sitting at the beach is relaxing to me.
Do you have any suggestions for beginning writers? If so, what are they?
Just put your
fingers to the keyboard and go! Don't give up on your dream!
At what point in your life did you realize you wanted to be a writer?
In elementary
school, but to everyone it was considered a fad. You don't earn money
writing books, I was told!
What is it that you like to do when
you’re not reading/writing?
Knitting,
crocheting, sewing, scrapbooking, playing with my kids, spending time
with my hubby
Who should play you in a film of your
life?
Drew Barrymore –
that way I know my husband would come and watch it!
Morning Person? Or Night Person? How do you know?
Nightowl, have
been since a child.
Tell us about your favorite restaurant.
This is hard! But
probably Pappadeux's because it's seafood!!!
Beatles or Monkees? Why?
BOTH!! I love
them both! Add in the BeeGees and I'm all set!
New York or LA? Why?
I have to say New
York because we are Yankees fans.
Describe what it’s like to be an author in three words.
Really, really
hard
What one word best describes you?
Patient. That's
what every says of me, that I have the patience of Job.
Say your publisher has offered to fly you anywhere in the world to do research on an upcoming book, where would you most likely want to go?
ENGLAND!
Do your friends think you are an introvert or an extravert? Why?
Introvert with a
large group of people. Extravert when there's only two people
involved.
Where are your fans most likely to find you hanging out?
The softball
fields or the beach.
Use no more than two sentences. Why should we read your book?
I am an honest,
hardworking writer, desperate to share a story. My thoughts, my
dreams, my feelings are poured into my work, mind, body and soul.
Have any of your characters been modeled after yourself?
Not really. Some
are a combination of what I am and what I wish I was or could have
been, but so far, none of them are entirely modeled after myself.
What is something people would be surprised to know about you?
That I do write a
series of books under another pen name which I have never openly told
to another soul. It's the exact opposite of what I write under my own
name.
You just won a huge lottery what is the first thing you'll buy?
The latest model
of the Ford Mustang. I've wanted one since I was a senior in high
school. Orange in color, black interior.
Do you have a Website or Blog?
http://www.pamelaforeman.com
What do you find most rewarding about writing?
That people read
my work and like it. A few sales would be nice as well!
