Pastime With Books: Author Interview

Hands down my favorite meal is crab legs ~ just crab legs, nothing else.

One thing that gets me more fired up than anything is women/girl’s rights. I just watched Girl Rising. It was a powerful movie about the plight of women and girls across the world. It made me realize how far we still need to go to make sure all of our girls grow up to be strong, educated women who don’t have worry about living in poverty, being infected with AIDS or being beaten, raped or killed because they are female.

How many friends does a person need? You know, it’s funny. A writer friend, Julie Farley, and I were just talking about the perception most people have about writers. We both came to the conclusion that most people assume writers are solitary people who prefer their own company. Julie and I feel that we are not the same as other writer’s. Both of us need the company and companionship of friends to help keep us motivated and moving forward.

The last book I read was Finding Emma.

My favorite color is green. It coordinates with my favorite place in the world. Ireland.

Have you ever had writer’s block? If so, what do you do about it? Writer’s block. Every writer’s worst nightmare. When it happens to me I find a writing prompt and write through it.

How did you come up with the title? I came up with the title to my book as I listened to the soundtrack to The Phantom of The Opera. The Point of No Return epitomized the journey of my main character, Charley, and the choice she had to make.
