This week, we’re talking with Fern Ronay about her book Better Believe It
Tell us something unexpected about yourself!
My grandfather sends me pennies as a sign. He passed in 2001.
(This might not be so unexpected to people who follow me and my podcast #SignsFromTheOtherSide.)
Why do you write?
To tell stories I would like to read.
Where did you get the inspiration for your current book?
The protagonist of Better Believe It was a subordinate character in my first book and she has issues I couldn't wait to explore.
What do you enjoy the most about your genre?
Relatable characters
How would you describe your writing process?
Get it all out, and then sculpt it later.
What advice would you have for other writers?
Write at least one sentence a day.
It usually leads to more but one sentence is enough, and then, before you know it, you have written your next book.
What do you think authors have to gain from participating in social media?
Connecting with people who are interested in the same weird stuff you're interested in. No better way to find your tribe.
How do you select your books’ titles and covers?
My publisher does that but I've been lucky. They have good taste and great ideas.
What's your next step?
A third book!
How do you react to seeing a new review for your book?
Excited!
