Interview with Author Regina Puckett

Unfurled Wings

He stands alone in the hurried crowd

But no one sees how much he bleeds

Rivers of anguish for what’s been lost

But being shunned has been his cost

If only someone had slowed their pace

They might have noticed the humble face

And beyond his dirty clothes and things

They might have seen his unfurled wings

Interview:

1. When did you start reading? I didn’t become interested in reading for the pleasure of it until I was in the seventh grade.

4. What was the first book that had a real 'wow' factor for you? The first book that stayed with me long after I read it was In Cold Blood by Truman Capote. It was my first glimpse at real evil.

5. What genres have you read? Was there any progression to the genres you've read over the years? Did you start in one genre and then discover others the older you got? i.e. scifi and then romance, then paranormal, then espionage....
