I think my favorite author is probably Ray Bradbury, though I have tons more. I think Terry Pratchett and Spider Robinson influence the tone of Ghost. :o)Minnette Meadorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01450125026323940647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8349236360110556646.post-9287158629261910252011-07-23T03:38:06.356-04:002011-07-23T03:38:06.356-04:00Any authors influence you?

It's funny, we had small cars when our six kids were growing up and didn't get a bigger one until after they left. Ironic that you don't have the money for what you need until you don't need it! :o)Minnette Meadorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01450125026323940647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8349236360110556646.post-29498452635378886992011-07-16T05:42:51.038-04:002011-07-16T05:42:51.038-04:00I always enjoy your posts and interviews Minnette....I always enjoy your posts and interviews Minnette.Well, One of the things was to be a Psychiatrist when I was a kid and/or a race car driver :) I became neither and instead ended up having 7 kids and needing a Psychiatrist lol and never got my license.

Tina, Edgar is a good choice, However, I had the opposite problem, My mother had a conference with my teacher over Stephen King being 98% of the end of year reading list. Of all the books he had on the list I ended up with Watership Down, and let me just say I never finished it, it still gives me nightmares, and I'd have rather been reading anything else.<br /><br />Of course, My teachers mistake was saying we only had to read 1 off his list, but do book reports on anything else we read after that, He ended up with over 60 reports from me on Romance novels. I should have apologized but after that book list of his, I couldn't bring myself to do it.<br /><br />~Christiana~Christianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03378087569088069443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8349236360110556646.post-78943705841327205042011-07-12T23:33:57.437-04:002011-07-12T23:33:57.437-04:00Ohh..

Still thinking on that one... :o)<br /><br />It take a lot of discipline, Nichole... oh, and a hard deadline! Nothing gets you motivated like knowing if you want your book to get out it has to be done! :o)<br /><br />Thanks, Maria. I was too old when Indiana Jones came out to aspire to that. However, I was absolutely in love with Jacques Cousteau and actually studied marine biology for a very short time. <br /><br />Hi, Christiana - Being a wife and mom is a very honorable goal; the lives of your children are important.
