Interview With Author Deb CarverOwens
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Here is a little bit of the history of my work. Being on the internet since 2000, there have been many websites that were created in those years.
As for the eBooks themselves, the first work that was written started in 1990 when the “Poems to the Lord Notebook” copyright was obtained. It was many years before any others were attempted. My dream is to be the absolute best author that I can be. I love to read books and have read them for many years. One day as I was reading, a thought formed in my mind that I would like to do this.
I started reading the books in a different frame of mind paying attention to the way the author told the story. The strengths of the plots and the depth of the characters came into vivid focus. She got in touch with one of my favorite authors who did a critique for me. They recommended that I get the book “How to Write a Novel Using the Snowflake Method” by Randy Ingermanson. I immediately ordered the book and read it several times. I found a new perspective as I read about story-telling.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is Experiences in Fishing. It is about fishing trips that we have taken at the lake where we lived years ago. I remembered some of the things that used to happen on those and wrote them down as a humorous story.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I have no unusual writing habits that I know of. Being organized with the characters and scenes is a recent development.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Authors I like to read are Hannah Howell, Amanda Scott, Catherine Coulter, and Michael Crichton
What are you working on now?
I am working on a memoir at the moment.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I use an email list from made from the social networks.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Advice would be: keep writing and don’t quit. It sometimes becomes depressing, however, if you don’t quit, you will get more ideas on what to write and how to get it out there.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
I was told once to get the How To Write A Novel Using The Snowflake Method by Randy Ingermanson. This was the best thing I could have done and I recommend it to anyone whether just starting or having written several novels.
What are you reading now?
The Design by G. Lloyd Helm
What’s next for you as a writer?
I have several ideas for new stories.
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 would bring Sphere by Michael Crichton,
