Interview With Author Caroline L Thornton
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a Scottish children’s author. I have just released my sixth book By the Sycamore Tree and am currently working on a new one.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My new book is called By the Sycamore Tree. I wanted to do a simple story about the changing seasons and the effects they have on nature and people.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I mainly write in notebooks and I write in an informal environment rather than at a desk. My notebooks range from very neat to scribbles and writing that reads diagonally across the page!
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Because I write books in rhyme I think I’m most influenced by songwriters such as John Lennon, Paul McCartney and Bob Dylan.
What are you working on now?
I’m working on a new fairy tale with a twist!
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I look for lists of the best sites to use and use a few in tandem with each other.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Don’t get too disheartened by perceived set backs. Focus on what you’re good at and what’s right for you and take advice on how you can improve.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
I was told to study the technicalities of poetry such as rhythm and metre.
What are you reading now?
I’m reading The Landscapes of Anne of Green Gables and Celebrating All Creatures Great and Small: For the Love of the Yorkshire Dales.
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
I’m a Stranger Here Myself by Deric Longden, One For the Money by Janet Evanovich and Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw.
