Q. How did you “find” acting? Do you still act today?

A. I do a lot of acting as I write. I speak out loud when writing dialogue. I laugh, cry, get angry, etcetera. I am always working on at least two levels. My latest real acting gig was in 2004 when I did a commercial for Pfizer. I am presently organizing a workshop for the re-write of my musical and if I have my way I will also be starring in it. But don’t hold your breath. 

Q. The book states that you sing, dance, act and of course write.  Which is your passion?

A. All of them. I am passionate about everything that involves creating something out of nothing. I do not enjoy frequent employment as a secretary, however I always insist on doing a good job whatever it is, and I like the steady paycheque.  

Q. China and Sam meet, marry, and move to the end of the world. The author does not use many lines to convince us why an independent and experienced middle-age woman marries a man she barely knows and moves away from everything that is dear to her. I thought this was a weak link in the story and would like to know why the author did not spend more time on making that part of the story stronger. I liked the explicit physical scenes between them but that is not enough to justify a marriage.

A. If I explain it all up front, why bother reading to find out why? Hopefully by the end of the book you will understand (if not believe) that great sex is a very seductive narcotic. Also, China is an artist and those blessed (or cursed) with abundant creativity often take risks that less creative people wouldn’t dream of taking. You are correct that physical love will not sustain a marriage – as it could not sustain China’s marriage to Sam. Her life experience and courage helped her get out of a bad situation relatively quickly.
