1. If Oprah invited you on her show to talk about your book, what would the theme of that show be? Who would you pick to take care of your children if you were to die, and what sort of issues might you fear most about another mother raising your kids.
2. Perfect women’s topic for O’s audience! What was the most fun scene in your book to write? A really good sex scene. The most difficult? Whenever the characters I love are in danger of being hurt, even just emotionally.
3. Do you have a muse, good luck charm, writing vice? Does coffee count? Also, I sit in a nice comfy armchair and put my feet on an ottoman, computer on my lap, and repeat to myself “seat of the pants to seat of the chair.”
4. I say nothing like “kicking back” while writing. I’m sure more blood flows to the brain that way. What do you write on (type of computer, or notebook, etc.) and where do you write? I write on my laptop and I have a bedroom set aside as my study, where I inhabit the aforesaid armchair.
5. Have you had a “rock star” moment regarding your writing career? Alas! The closest I came was walking on the beach and seeing someone reading my book. And she looked pretty involved in the story.
6. Lordie, I would’ve snapped a picture. Very cool stumbling upon a scene like that. What do you do to celebrate your writing successes? Champagne with my husband and any friend I can get to come over and bask with me.
7. Bubbly is always good. And I’m all for basking!!! Describe your personality with five adjectives that would make your 5th grade English teacher proud. Imaginative, shy, persistent, intuitive, histrionic.
Then here’s to “histrionic” success to you Ms. Curran. We’re cyber-toasting your launch and best of luck with EVERYONE SHE LOVED.
