Lydia Wallace asked Golden November:

Thanks Golden November for The Characters of Milestoneville book series. I received the set in the mail today and was overjoyed. I couldn't stop looking at the book covers. They are beautifully designed. Then the movies begins as you open the pages and find drama, action, and comedy not to mention the great characters. I am so glad I found your great books/movies. What do you do first? Get in character.

Golden November Thank you; I truly appreciate that you enjoyed reading my books and were able to understand, and figure out my writing style. As you are aware, I'm not a traditional author. To answer your question about my methodology when I write a book: I get into character, and I act out each scene. I see a book like it's a movie set. There is a lot of set design in my books and formatting the pages. Many of the characters are fun to play the role of; I do laugh-out-loud when I'm writing a scene and getting into character, taking on the accents and dialects. My goal is for the reader to get past the untraditional book format and feel the character and the storylines. Thanks again for your kind words.
