The Kid Interview Series #6 - Lindsay Downs is interviewed by her 4 year old collie (Yes, it's a dog. All kids aren't human you know)
Probably the first and now best friend I have made since coming onto Facebook has been my fellow Astraea Press author, Lindsay Downs. Lindsay's writing style is completely unlike ANYTHING I have seen or likely ever will see among my author friends. You see, Lindsay writes suspense and military thrillers where the hero is a dog. A collie, to be exact. Dakota and I have become great friends over the past year or so. He knows and enjoys my books and he tolerates his Mom's obsession for writing.
When he heard I was doing a series of kid interviews, he was right there, panting, if you will, to be a part of it. So, Lindsay asked the questions, and knowing Dakota like she does, translated the answers to me. Please enjoy the question-and-answer ramblings of my favorite collie's mind.
THE KID’S INTERVIEW
Dakota, age 4, interviews his author mom, Lindsay
Q. Can you name all your Mom’s books?Dakota: Yes. Emily Dahill, CID Part 1, A Dog Gone Christmas, A Body in the Attic, Emily Dahill, CID Part 2 and A Collie Rescue.Q. Which is your favorite and why?Dakota: It’s really hard to say which is my favorite as each book has some great scenes in them. Thinking about it though I’d really have to say A Collie Rescue is far and above the best. This book features a homeless vet and the heroine and her struggle to live day to day.Q. When does your Mom write? Where in the house? Describe her writing area.Dakota: She writes in both the afternoon and evening. She’s got a desk near the living room so she can watch TV while writing. Her writing area, a total mess. Papers all over the desk and behind her is a white board where she writes notes about one or more of her WIP’s.Q. What are you doing when Mom is writing?Dakota: I usually sleep.Q. If Mom got rich and famous, what would you want her to do with the money?Dakota: Let’s wait and see when that happens because what I’d want now I might not want when she is.Q. Do you read your Mom’s books?Dakota: I don’t know how to readQ. Do you think you do better in school because Mom is a writer?Dakota: I don’t go to schoolQ. Do your friends know what your Mom writes? Do you tell them?Dakota: Well my half-bro, Sparkie the cat, does but that’s about it.Q. Do you want to be a writer when you grow up? If not, what do you want to be.Dakota: No, I’m happy being a collie thank you.Q . If you could dedicate a book to your Mom, what would you say?Dakota: To the world’s best Mom.
