The Dirty Thirty- Day 1
Day 1 of the Dirty Thirty is finally here! Each day I will be posting a few questions from my interview with J.M. Gregoire. Best part is, not once did we ask “what made you start writing?” To see my interview head over to J.M. Gregoire’s website.
What kind of underwear does your antagonist prefer? (To wear, to see on their lover, etc.)
Hmmm, well, I have a few antagonists, but, I think I can confidently say they all go commando. The big bads in my books are all the old-worldy types. Or they just plain and simply don’t give a crap.
What is your protagonist’s favorite color? (and don’t even try to pretend that you don’t know.)
Black. Definitely black. Black leather is even better.
How many times did you have to look up alternative words for body parts?
Ummm, I don’t think I did that at all for body parts. I did have to educate myself on all things guns, though.
In all your research for your books what is the strangest thing you have ever Googled?
How to kill people in weird ways. Odd ball murders and the like. I also spent a LOT of time on this awesome serial killer database. Like, maybe far more than I needed to for the research I was doing. *shifty eyes*
Have you ever Googled yourself? If so, were you shocked by anything you found?
I Google myself every couple of weeks. I am far from hidden online. I have two book blogs, my author blog, a diet blog, a random-thoughts-type blog, a blog which serves as a free resource for authors to get vetted publishing services, three convention blogs, a blog for my public relations company, a “ladies only” private blog, and just about every social network profile imaginable. So, no, I was not surprised. Lol I was surprised that I hadn’t pissed anyone off yet. I have yet to find anything negative, and that alone is a little shocking.
As an author, what are your feelings on the eBook craze? Good thing or bad thing for the industry?
I think ebooks have completely changed the publishing industry for the better. I know so many people who started reading far more once ereaders became a big thing, myself included. I mean, I read a lot anyway, but I found it a lot easier to get through books when I could carry my entire library with me on something weighing in at less than a pound and small enough to fit right in my purse. I believe a lot of people feel the same way about ereaders. Plus, there’s the whole convenience of it. A friend tells you about a book you HAVE to read, you tap the screen, and POOF! Your book is waiting there for you. Instant gratification. For those who love a physical copy to have in their collection (like me :::cough cough::: I AM NOT A HOARDER!!!!!), they still have the option of going out and buying a physical copy. All around, I think it’s a 100% awesome thing for the industry.
