Head over to ChickLitGurrl: high on LATTES & WRITING where I participate in the Del Rio Bay Book Tour, featuring the DRB series author Paula Chase!

INTERVIEW EXCERPT

CLG: What is your mission statement as a writer? Why do you do it and what do you hope to provide, to give as a result of your writing?

PC: My mission statement is – always tell the story that’s inside me. I don’t write to trends. I don’t bend to suggestions or advice. Maybe that’s to my detriment at times. But in the end, I can only tell the story that’s burning inside my brain. And ironically, that’s the answer to why I do it. I write because these stories are in me wanting to be told. So far, my stories have always had an underlying message, but when I write, I do so to entertain. I am not consciously teaching a lesson at all. I just want to give readers a good story, something they can wrap themselves in for a few hours. That’s the joy reading has always brought to me and I write to pass on the same to my readers.

CLG: Using either television, film or literary references, give us the one or two sentence pitch you’d give film agents on The Del Rio Bay series.

PC: It’s The Hills meets Taking The Stage minus the purple labels. Can you tell I watch my fair share of MTV?
