I'm having so much fun with Chatting With Sherri!


I had a great interview last Tuesday with the wonderful Steven Sears on Chatting With Sherri on Blogtalk Radio.  We had such a good time that I almost forgot that I was doing an interview.  Of course I had to do all the stuff you have to do in the studio so I couldn't allow myself to forget it. He was so much fun and it was so educational! I hope those who listened live and those who have already listened to the recording enjoyed it as much as I did!!! Here is the link so you can hear what I am talking about; http://www.blogtalkradio.com/rithebard/2012/09/18/chatting-with-sherri


This coming Tuesday on, Chatting With Sherri,  I will be chatting with George Mc quade III of MAYO Communications! He is a very well known PR expert, who will be talking about creative ways to use mass media to build your brand. Also how PR is changing thanks to mass media, it's going to be a fun and fascinating talk. I hope you all can join us.

Instead of an interview about me and what I think, here is an interview with my own lovely Dr. Anne Ross of Fantasy Time Inc. She tells how she really feels about herself, me and her adventures at her agency Fantasy Time Inc.; http://www.worldliterarycafe.com/content/character-dr-anne-ross-talks-about-fantasy-time-inc-written-sherri-rabinowitz Please let me know what you think about what Anne said :) I think she did a great job!



Last but not least is an interview about both my books Murder Inc. and Fantasy Time Inc, and my writing career.  It was an interesting interview and I did a mini-reading of both my novels. So listen in to this fun chat with Book Hunt Review by Sisterhoods Connectionshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/sisterhoods-connections/2012/09/15/pending .




Once you hear my readings and want to buy my lovely books, here are the lovely link :)

So to add to his very interesting Blogtalk Radio interview,  I also did an interview for my writing blog. So with out any further adieu, Gabriel Beyers...
 
 

 What was the first book you remember loving? Do you still own it?

Oh, man. That's a tough question. Love? I guess I'd have to say Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I had read many other books that I liked a lot, but Adam's combination of Sci-Fi and zany British humor was like nothing I had ever read. I do still own Hitchhiker, and re-read it from time to time. It never loses its charm.

 What kind of books do you like to read? Do those books have an affect on your own writing?

I'm not a genre snob. If it's a good story, I want to read it. I do, however, prefer something with a paranormal twist to it. I'm a huge fan of Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles and Dean Koontz's Odd Thomas. I loved Harry Potter and Stephen King's Dark Tower series. They definitely each have had an affect on my writing. They are my writing teachers. How can you ever hope to be great if you don't study the greats?

 Do you remember what is the first book that touched you deeply?

Many books have touched me with their great writing or incredible stories, but I don't tend to get too emotional. Scary books don't really scare me. I do remember being a bit depressed when I finished with The Lord of the Rings. I didn't want it to end. But the book that cut me the deepest was The Road by Cormac McCarthy. Maybe it's because I have a young son, but I was completely heartbroken by the ending and it haunted me for days.

 Is there an era of writing that affects you? 1920, 1800’s so forth?

I don't have an era that affects me. I do like to read about ancient Rome, or the Old West. I also have a thing for the 50s.

 Where do you like to write? Is there a favorite nook or corner?

Anywhere quiet. When my wife and I were first married, before we had kids, I wrote in the extra room of our two-bedroom apartment. Now I find myself writing at a small sewing machine desk in our dining room or sneaking my laptop into the day job to write during down time. Someday I hope to have my own office again where I can close the door and lose myself to the work. It's a nice dream.

 Do you prefer one genre to another?

I'll read anything, but I'm not a big fan of romance. I like it when something supernatural happens in a story, but it's not a requirement.

 Do you like the feel of a book in your hands or do prefer an electronic devises?

I love the feel and smell of a real book, but I've been having an affair with my Kindle. I fought ebooks for the longest time, but I have to admit, I love them (and not just because that's how I'm trying to make my living). They are just so convenient. I love walking around with a whole library in the palm of my hand.

 Can you tell us about what your working on now?

Right now I'm writing a few short stories as I prepare to start my next novel. I have an idea for a series that I'd like to try. It's dystopian and features some flesh eaters, but I don't want it to be like all the other zombie books out there. I don't write from an outline, but I do run the idea through my mind, rolling it over and over until I'm sure it's something I can write.
