Goodreads asked Linda Holeman:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Linda Holeman I love that I get to spend half of my life in an alternate universe! I feel very "alive" while creating new characters and a world I haven't actively experienced myself, and I do become part of that world. I learn so much as I'm writing, not just about the place and time and subject I'm researching, but also about myself, as I create the characters that will inhabit the novel. Creating a hierarchy of characters is a slow and painstaking journey, one that sometimes makes me stop and wonder about my choices. But as each one finally emerges, full and rounded, it's a magical feeling.
