Shawn Robinson asked Phyllis Moore:

Hey Phyllis! I was just thinking about the first of your books that I read, My Haunted Bed and Breakfast. One of the things that jumps out at me (even after all this time) is how intense the story was at times, but then how light and fun it was at other times. Do you enjoy adding a bit of the "light and fun" into your books? Does it happen naturally, or do you put the effort into doing that?

Phyllis Moore I planned My Haunted Bed and Breakfast to be humorous with some intense moments in it. Interesting, that you see it the other way around.

Alfred Hitchcock was the "Master of Suspense." But he also added humor to relieve his audience of the stress before he increased the suspense.

I take his advice to heart. When I write something serious or sad, my next chapter will lighten the story before I increase the drama.
