Dina Rae lives with her husband, two daughters, and three dogs outside of Dallas. She is a Christian, avid tennis player, movie buff, teacher, and self-proclaimed expert on several conspiracy theories. She has been interviewed numerous times on blogs, newspapers, and syndicated radio programs. She enjoys reading about religion, UFOs, New World Order, government conspiracies, political intrigue, and other cultures. Crowns and Cabals is her eighth novel.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Crowns and Cabals was inspired by today’s politics and Biblical prophecy. The story is a fictional account of how some Americans might react to a global takeover.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I like to write in notebooks by hand. There is something about it that keeps the writer’s block away.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I LOVE George Orwell, Aldous Huxley, Graham Hancock, Stephen King, and Joel Rosenberg. Suzanne Collins and Brad Thor are also favorites.
What are you working on now?
I wrote one nonfiction book back in 2014 called Big Pharma, Big Agri, Big Conspiracy. I am writing a follow-up. It will be about the healthcare scam in the U.S.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Awesome Gang of course! I have had great luck with Goodreads too!
Do you have any advice for new authors?
My advice to new writers is simple. Keep on writing! Also, READ! A well-read author begins to analyze why they like certain books and really pays attention to the craft of it all.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Hands down no contest-“On Writing” by Stephen King! Also, watch your POV! It’s easy to get tripped up on who tells the story.
What are you reading now?
I just finished Stephen King’s Dr. Sleep, and just started The Spider and the Stone by Glen Craney.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I want to try writing some YA and a mystery.
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?
The Bible would do it, but I always wanted to read War and Peace. Maybe I would take the dictionary and a herb/root/healing book for reference.
