What an inspiration you two are to aspiring writers everywhere, especially your family (including moi!)<br /><br />If I have to pick just one author (if I were on a deserted island or something) I would have to pick Ray Bradbury also.

Lovely woman and she's visited all the places she's written about.<br />Hanzpk, that is a man on the cover! :) Very gothic and vampire-like, I think.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7779997262227613456.post-22610068325800872212011-07-13T05:23:02.394-07:002011-07-13T05:23:02.394-07:00Do you have any specific reason for choosing a wom...Do you have any specific reason for choosing a woman as the cover's picture and not a man as indicated by the title, 'Alex'?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02784669891219664162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7779997262227613456.post-50343241846712512302011-07-13T01:34:34.638-07:002011-07-13T01:34:34.638-07:00Great interview!

Which will I choose?(One of) My favourite author(s) is Jean M. Auel, author of the Earth's Children series. Her descriptive writing really brings the Paleolithic world of mammoths, Neanderthals and Cro-Magnon man to life before my eyes!J.C.

His debut, "KING RAT", is a staple in my library when it comes to juicing up my imagination for new work. The book is pure London grit: dark, foul, seethingly clever, taking the wispy delicacy of an old fairy tale, slashing it up, sewing its mouth shut, and throwing it back in the reader's face like a gory piece of meat (bloodspatter! Yes!!). <br /><br />Anyhoo, I did the cover art for ALEX, and found the blurb to be ever so intriguing. Edgy, dark, but hopeful. I would love to own an ecopy.

She has the power to really reach deep into my emotions, and help me through some tough times of my own by seeing how her characters handle theirs.<br /><br />Andrea<br />andipandi10@msn.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01524366837468760559noreply@blogger.com
