Every week – they are releasing interviews with authors, and today’s interview is with Veronica Rossi. Here’s what the author had to say…

Q: What is the hardest line to write- the first or the last?

A: Yeah, those. And all the ones in between!

Q: Best writing tip you ever received?

A: $5. Just kidding. Um… tip… I think it’s probably to allow yourself to suck when writing early drafts. It takes away a lot of the fear of generating good material. It’s not easy to be creative when you’re judging your work.

Q: Tell us 5 random facts about yourself.

1. In the past year, I discovered a deep love of Brussel sprouts
2. I talk to myself. Heck. Sometimes I argue with myself.
3. I’m arguing with myself about including that last point at this very moment.
4. My favorite animals are elephants.
5. Dresses with pockets make me happy.

Q: Where's your favorite place to write?

A: I usually work in my home office, but I love working in hotel rooms. No distractions!

Q: What are you working on now?

A: Something I’m very excited about! Can’t divulge any details yet, but it’s an idea I’ve been mulling over for years.
