Is There a Message in Your Novel That You Want Readers to
Grasp?
Crime pay and pays well,
if you can avoid the deadly risks. For Molly and April Danser, this means
not only outwitting the law but also somehow trying to escape the deadly claws
of the US Marshal who wants then dead, not captured.
Is there anything you find particularly challenging in your
writing?
To
best honest, it’s mostly enjoyable, from the original story sketches straight
through to the final proofreading with my publisher’s editors. During the
writing of “Thieves” I was challenged to keep up with the dangerous twists and
turns of minds of all three main characters. Every time I thought I knew what
they were going to do next, they surprised me by taking ahold of the steering
wheel and turning the story sharply.
How many books have you written and which is your favorite?
“Thieves” is my twenty-eighth
novel. We have twelve in print, with the others in queue for publication over
the next four years. I really don’t have a favorite as each is like a
daughter to me, cherished and loved.
If You had the chance to cast your main character from Hollywood today, who would you pick and why?
Eva
Green for Molly Danser, in a manic, hard eyed way.
Nicole
Kidman for April Danser, at her most flighty and dangerous.
Steve Buscemi for the US Marshall, wild eyed, hearing
voices and deadly.
When did you begin writing?
In 1982, with my first novel “Distractions,” which was published in 1984.
Yes, a good long time (laughter). That book was also when I joined the Danser
family, so to speak, delighting in discovering a generation of wild eccentrics
I could cast and enjoy, even at their most frightening.
How long did it take to complete your first book?
That
was back in the days of many many drafts, so the write itself took more than
year. In those days, research was much slower and either from books or hunting
down real experiences to learn from, like visiting gun ranges, climbing into
crop dusters and haunting the parts of city’s I would never brave in real life.
Did you have an author who inspired you to become a writer?
The
list was and still is short. While I’m still an avid reader, the voices that
inspired me were Richard Brautigan, Peter S. Beagle, Truman Capote, John
Cheever and Somerset Maugham. Each one brave and taking literary risks and
challenges.
,
What is your favorite part of the writing process?
The
daily writes. I’m at it seven days a week, loving the immersion, challenges and
frustrations. Most days, I don’t notice that the sun has risen or know or care
what day it is, lost in the story. Writing “Thieves” was no exception. The four
months of writing after endless research moved at a quick and exciting pace,
sweeping me away from the real world out there somewhere.
Describe your latest book in 4 words.
Suspenseful,
sexy, frightening, redeeming.
Can you share a little bit about your current work or what is in the
future for your writing?
Gladly. I’m a quarter way through
Chas Danser’s second novel, “Chas & Izzy.” This is book two of the “Vivre au Cinéma” series. Chas is
seventeen years old and suffering from a neuroglial problem while knee deep in
crime. As a budding actor, he has discovered a strange way to fully enter the
roles he’s cast in. Outside the camera lights, he’s joined forces with his
mother, Izzy, to rid the worst parts of Florida of its snake pits of criminals.
Together, they are taking the law in their own hands, doing the dirty work that
the legal system fails at time and again.
