I've recently started blogging, joining nings, reading blogs, etc., and I've seen quite a number of authors doing blog tours, writing articles and offering free books. Which is great fun for me as a reader because I "meet" great people and learn a lot. I've even won the occasional book, which I then read and review. But I'm wondering how it feels to a published writer? Is it fun, boring, exciting, or just life in the internet age?
I have heard a few authors say that once they start being a writer, they stop being a reader, and concentrate on their writing instead. How true is that for you? And if you do read, do you read mostly mysteries, your genre?
I'm curious if you have ever written in another genre, other than mystery. If you haven't, would you ever consider it? Do you consider the mystery genre the best fit for you?
What do you think of e-booking? If I can't get publshed by a publisher in the market, I wonder if I could with e-booking. I am writing the story in bits and pieces on the Internet. Will that hurt my chance of being published?

I saw on one of your articles that you're working on another mystery series, and you have some short stories out there too. Do your characters ever cross over - short stories with the same people, or the same people appearing in different series? Do you think it's a good idea or a bad idea when series do that?
Besides the main character, which of the characters in your books do you like the best/enjoy creating?
Will Deadly Currents be published in large print? If so, when do you think that will be?
Thanks,
Beth
