CARD
GAMES
1. What really inspired you to write your
book, to force you from taking an idea or experience and conveying it into a
book? After personally
experiencing identity theft more than once, my anger at the perpetrators moved
me to do something to help others understand the present danger. I wanted to
inform and alert readers, so I researched extensively before creating CARD GAMES
from an entertaining angle.
2. What is it about and whom do you believe
is your targeted reader? I
chose to write a novel so that the details, although based totally on research
and hard data, would seem interesting and even suspenseful to read. The book is
about a guy whose life is turned upside down by identity theft and how he, a
credit card company, and professional crime fighters work internationally to
find the bad guys. My targeted readers could be everyone but children.
3. What do you hope will be the everlasting thoughts
for readers who finish your book? What should remain with them long after
putting it down? It would be
my hope that readers will enjoy the read and remember various lessons within it
that they can use to keep their own identities safe from predators. They will
be wiser and safer and potentially a good influence on other people once they
know that they are their own protectors in life.
4. What advice or words of wisdom do you
have for fellow writers? Choose
to write about something – anything – that intrigues you. As you explore,
you’ll become more inclined to stay on the path to learn for yourself how
interesting your topic and the evolution of your writing will be.
5.
What
trends in the book world do you see and where do you think the book publishing
industry is heading? Clearly,
reading is taking on many formats and the creativity of writers is endless.
With so much to read and enjoy, learn and share, the industry provides endless
resources to take your reading ability wherever you go. The future of book publishing is huge and
maybe – an unwritten book!
6. What great challenges did you have in
writing your book? Not long
into the process of writing, and enjoying tremendous encouragement to write my
book, I experienced a traumatic personal tragedy. The book had to be set aside
for a considerable period of time, and my energy and enthusiasm to get back to
writing lagged. Then, with identity theft on the exponential rise, I knew I had
an important topic, but wondered if I had lost my window to share it.
7. If people can only buy one book this
month, why should it be yours? The
topic of identity theft becomes a more omnipresent threat every day. People
should buy my book for the enjoyment of a suspenseful read and to increase
their awareness and personal “identification” with this challenge, as well as
how to work with legal resources to stop the thieves.
