Romance author, Ava O'Shay, stopped by for an interview!
I LOVE to name
things! I get dogs just to name them…fish
even! The names for my female characters
have either been names I would have used if I had a girl or students I have had
in my classes. Names kind of come to me
as I write and often times during church when I am reading my bible instead of
listening to the pastor.
Have you ever read a book that you expected to
enjoy but didn’t or, vice versa, read a book that you didn’t expect to enjoy
and fell in love with it anyway? Which book?
I am embarrassed to
say I did not enjoy any of the Harry Potter books. Well I didn’t read any more than the first
few chapters of the first book but I am sure I wouldn’t have enjoyed the others. Don’t throw stones at me please. I have a really difficult time reading that
genre.
When writing, do you share chapters with friends
or beta readers as you go or do you keep your projects secret until they are
complete?
I do not share
anything with immediate friends or family.
I have had a few beta readers but they usually bail on me so as of now I
work with my friend and editor Kara and that’s about it.
What was your favorite subject at school?
I loved
history. Not because I love history but
because I love to do research and that was the class where I was encouraged to
research. All my books have some aspect
of research in them because it is a chance for me to do what I love.
Please describe
your perfect day.
My perfect day
would be a day hiking, mountain biking, or kayaking with my boys. I love the outdoors and I love my family so
doing physical activities outside is my favorite time with them.
