Please take a few minutes to welcome RaeBeth to Madsheep reading, I know you all love to read about new books and hear what the authors behind them have to say, so show your love.
So without further ado lets move forward and meet RaeBeth and her book Silenced
.jpg)
From the book which
is your favourite character ? and why?
My favourite character from Silenced is hard to choose because I
enjoyed creating each of them. But if I had to choose... I would say Amber.
She’s partly me. I mixed in part of my personality and life into her while
creating her story.
Is there a favorite genre of books that you love to read and
write?
I really like to read a
mixture of genre. Although at this time I’ve written in the YA/Suspense and
Paranormal genres. I would say these are my favorite.
If you could send a letter of advice to your younger self what
would it say? And why?
It would say not to take things to heart
and to say No more often. I am always up to helping out others even if it means
less time for my own work. I could tell my younger self that this would pose a
problem later on for completing tasks that are important to me.
What is your
inspiration/muse while you are writing?
There’s so many things that inspire me when writing. So it’s hard
to pin point where it comes from the most. So I would say life in general.
What are
your habits when you sit down to create? Do you have a certain room or place
where you go?
I do have one habit. I must have a fresh cup of coffee and a
bright room while writing. It must be quiet so I can keep my focus and that’s
when I write at my best. The room I find myself in the most when writing is my
living room. It’s the biggest and most spacious part of my house. Plus the
kitchen is right off of it.. which makes snacks easy to get at and no stairs to
walk because of being pregnant.
Have you
made any mistakes along the way?
Oh yes! But honestly who can say they started this path and hasn’t
made any mistakes. I learned the hard way. When I first completed Silenced I
was clueless to the publishing world. I signed up with a POD publishing company
that I’d consider isn’t worth it. I found them breaking the contract and was
released all rights back to me. Once I got my manuscript back I found loads of
errors within it.
Therefore, I began researching the correct way to self publish.
This is where I found that editing is a MUST do BEFORE it’s published. The same
with formatting. I’ve learned that by these mistakes I’m always on the lookout
for anything new I can do to better myself.
What do you
like to do in your down time?
What down time? In times when I’m not writing, reading, or
blogging. I’m a Mom and Wife. Therefore, my job is never done. When I do get a
moment to myself... I like to listen to music and try to relax. Being pregnant
is one thing that makes relaxing fun because I can focus on my belly and the
baby’s movements.
Do you have
a work in progress you would like to share with us?
I normally don’t share my work until after an editor takes a look
at it and I know it’s a good piece. So, I’m going to have to politely decline
on this one.
If you were
not an author what would your chosen profession be?
I would be a Psychologist. I have my associates degree for the
start of my PhD but I love writing more.
Here at
madsheepreading we also like to ask a few out there questions just to spice
things up a little too
What does
the colour red smell like to you?
I haven’t actually been asked this. But when I think of red and a
scent.. I think of apple or cinnamon.
Why is a
Raven like a mocking bird?
No clue.. LOL.. I don’t even know where to begin on this one.
If you were
sat at the table with the mad hatter, which character would you connect with
the most ?
Again.. I am not sure.
What is your
drink of choice when you write and why?
I prefer coffee. I love the taste and I can add different flavours
to the same great taste to enhance the original flavour.
If I looked
in your fridge right now what would I find lurking in there?
Dinner from last night. Milk. Eggs. Kool-Aid. Tea. Different
dressings for cooking and salads. Ketchup. Bottled water. Yogurt... are a few
that I can name without actually going to see what’s all in there.
Books or
films/tv series and which are your favourites and why?
I enjoy both. Favourite book series... House of Night... Favourite
TV series would be Charmed and Castle. I love the paranormal aspect of the
House of Night and Charmed. Castle is an author and likes to get on the
detective he shadows. So it’s entertaining and funny to watch.
