When you least expect to run into someone that’s usually when you do! I went to a B&N tonight and low and behold guess who I ran into? Roxanne St. Claire! It makes one wish for a camera. I remember a time when I never left the house without one, but alas I did not have it on me so I have no photos of our meeting.
Roxanne was there signing autographs and promoting her back to back releases: Hunt Her Down and Make Her Pay
. Both of which are a part of the Bullet Catcher series. I got signed copies of each and I can’t wait to snuggle up and read them as the weather is getting decidedly colder every day now.
She is a wonderfully nice woman and we had a great time gabbing between the young local musicians playing nearby in the store. I couldn’t hog her all to myself so after a few minutes I stood aside and listened. People were asking Roxanne a lot of interesting questions while I eavesdropped which I thought I would share. They are paraphrased below:
If you had to pick, which book(s) of the ones you have written is your favorite?
R: Hunt Her Down. Then Make Her Pay.
What is the hardest thing about being an author?
R: Rejections! Definitely the rejections.
From publishers?
R: Agents too. Writing is also very lonely as it is solitary. I would go crazy (my word not hers) without my friends and family.
How many books have you written?
R: 26 in total. Well, 25 that are published; 1 is in the process of getting published.
How long does it take to write a novel?
R: Depends. Some books are very hard agonizing to write. (She points to: Thrill Me to Death) Others are very easy and fly from the fingertips. (Here she points at: Then You Hide
) Others require 19 rewrites. (I forget which one she pointed to here, and I could be wrong about the other books too and if I am Roxanne please correct me!)
What were some of the other questions you got Roxanne? Can you remember?
It was so great to meet you in person!
