About me:
I have a
diverse business and personal background. I owned a national antique and art
appraisal business for many years, leaving that field and opening two yoga
centers where I taught yoga and certified yoga instructors. I have travelled
extensively throughout the world, most recently dividing my time between
Huntington Beach and Sacramento, California where my husband is a Senator. I'm
a gourmet cook and have entertained Governors, Congressmen and other political
figures in my homes. I'm an avid read and have brought the richness of my life
experiences to my novel, Blue Coyote Motel.
The
genesis of Blue Coyote Motel happened when my husband and I
were guests at a wedding in Palm Springs, California last year at a boutique
hotel. Our son was best man and the wedding party had taken over the newly
renovated old Palm Springs Motel. It was October and the temperature was 106.
The needed air-conditioning was silent and I mentally compared it to the heater
in our home in Huntington Beach that sounds like a truck is rumbling throughout
the house when it's on. I remember turning to my husband and saying,
"Wouldn't it be something if a 'feel good' drug could be piped into the
air-conditioning and everybody was happy?" He turned to me and said,
"There's your book." It went from there.
Ayn Rand
is one of my favourite authors along with Jennifer Weiner and others too
numerous to mention.
My latest
novel is a political tell-all/love-affair. The head of the Republican Senate
once told me that no one in Sacramento knows more than I do as to where the
bodies are buried and what really goes on. I have spent most of the last twelve
years in the political arena there so I decided to write about it. It will be
released in early 2013. It took me a couple of months to write. It's the
rewrites that take the time!
I have to
agree with you about the re-writes Dianne.
I write
almost every day. When I'm travelling, I use my iPad and then transfer what
I've written to my main computer. I'm very fortunate to have the time to it.
With my first draft, I spend a lot of time researching. After that's done, it's
honing, fine-tuning and tightening the book. I love to learn and writing allows
me to really delve into various subjects.
I hope
that everyone who picks up one of my books will simply say, "That was a
great read. I didn't want it to end.
The
following is a paragraph from Tea Party Teddy:
They come
to Sacramento with a grand plan of the things they want to accomplish, intent
on carrying out the will of the people who elected them. When their time in
Sacramento is up because of term limits, they leave, having accomplished
nothing, worn down by the reality of the political world and sporting a big
imaginary "W" on their foreheads standing for "whore.” After
just a few weeks into each new legislative session, there are no virgins left
in the world of Sacramento politics.
Thanks
for the chance to be interviewed by you.
Thank you
Dianne, it has been my pleasure and this has been a very interesting insight
into your work.
