# 2024 # Author Interview

Julie Castle - Tangled Tales #AuthorInterview



Tell us about your latest book.

My Tangled Tales Series is coming out, and I hope you love this fun take on fairy tales.

What are you currently reading?

I have a mile-long list, but I’m reading Big Bad Boss by Renee Rose and Lee Savino.

Tell us 3 interesting things about you.

I love art, exploring museums, and painting. I love to travel, mainly cross-country Amtrak trips and cruises. And I love Alaska and Bermuda.

Describe your workspace.

My office is cozy with my trusty PC and Printer. I have a lovely view of the woods behind my house and a few books covers and awards on the wall. I won the IDA for Best Romantic Suspense for Bound To Serve.

What’s your favorite quote?

“There are three rules for writing a novel. Unfortunately, no one knows what they are.” —Somerset Maugham

 

What is the best thing and the worst thing, to you, about being an author?

I’m adventurous and tend to jump into things. I always think I can make things work, but sometimes I just can’t

Any advice for new writers?

Join a writing group and follow your muse.

Do you listen to music while you read? If so, what’s on your playlist?

Yes, I do. I like to put soothing new-age music on in the background to help me get into the zone.

What author, past or present, would you most like to meet and get to speak with?

Agatha Christy and Renee Rose. How’s that for a combo?

What is one genre you’d love to write in, yet haven’t tried yet? Will you be giving it a try?

I would love to write a mystery. I’ve wanted to for years, and I probably will.

 

While we’re talking….here are a few Quickies:

What’s first: plot, world or characters? Characters. I am not a plotter.

Who leads: your or characters? My characters, of course. I usually start with an opening line or situation and then it’s go time.

Sleep in or up early? Sleep in. I’m a night owl.

Favorite part of a book: beginning, middle or end? The beginning. It’s so much fun to begin a new adventure.

Dogs or cats? But my cat Mr. Fluffy says cats.

Coffee or tea? Both. Coffee in the morning and tea in the afternoon.

TV or Movies? Movies

Spring or fall? Spring

Indoors or outdoors? A little bit of both, please.

Meat or vegetables? Veggies.
