Interview Amanda Mackey:
1. Can
you tell us a little about your books?
My books don't necessarily fall
into any category when I begin writing them. I don't try to have them
as contemporary romance or paranormal romance. Whatever comes into my
mind is how the story will end up. Often it takes on a life of its own
as if I have no control over it. While most of my books are in the
contemporary romance genre, it is typically because I believe any good
book should have a love story tucked away inside.
2. How
did you choose the genre you write in?
In reference to the answer
above, I didn't choose it. It chose me and still continues to do so by
the ideas that keep popping up in my head. I guess it's coincidence that
most of my books have ended up in the same genre. I'd love to write a
crime novel so that may be on the cards down the track if the story
manifests.
My ideas typically hit me when I least expect them to. I was driving home from taking my kids to school one day and an idea for a book hit so I had to pull over and scrounge around in my handbag for paper and a pen so I could jot the ideas down before I forgot them.
4. Do you have a favorite spot to write?
I write in the spare bedroom where I get some peace and quiet and can close the door.
5. Do
you listen to music while you write?
I can't listen to music when I
write, unlike so many other authors. I need silence for my brain to
focus. Music distracts me. I've always been this way. Even when I read, I
need the silence to help me absorb the words I'm reading.
You know what? My writing day is worked around family and outside work commitments so it happens when it happens. Now that the kids are back in school after summer holidays here in Australia, I have a few hours to write. I grab different moments when I can. I try to write every day even if it's a paragraph!
7. For a reader who hasn't read your books yet, which book do you suggest they start with?
Hmm, perpaps the Finding You series. It eases into my writing and was my very first series. There are three books all up and if you like an emotional and suspense filled read, you'll enjoy this series.
8. If you were a super-hero, what powers would you have?
Immortality. Because then I could keep writing forever! Not only that, I wouldn't get sick, ever.
9. What
are writing projects are you currently working on?
I'm currently
working on a 3 book military series with book 1 almost complete. It's my
first military romance and I'm enjoying it immensely. I like the
research that comes with writing so this one in particular has been
interesting. After this series is complete, I'm not sure what is after
that. It will no doubt come to me. I'm a panster and just let things
happen as they are meant to. :-)
