Drusilla Carr. I live on an island. I`m passionate about History. I like ballet and opera. Favourite dog Border Collie.   After a lifetime writing for traditional publishing houses I have started writing for Amazon and have 4books to my name.  Currently I am writing A Regency Romance and loving every minute of it.


When did your love of books begin?

From the first time my Mother read and told stories I was completely hooked, a love that has never diminished. I could read  by the time I was five.


When did you start to have the wish to become an author?

About the same time. According to a very old friend I was five when I told her I was going to be  a writer.


How have you found the process for becoming an author?

The most wonderful experience. I consider myself so lucky to have realised my dream at an early age and have been privileged to have had a long life devoted to it.


What would you say to those wanting to become an author?

You have to be tough Take the rejections and come out fighting. Don`t waste any time being sorry for yourself. When the rejection arrives send it out again not in a few days or weeks but immediately.


Tell us about your book/books:

Where shall I begin? Under a variety of pseudonmys I have written romances ,detective stories, short stories educational books. I have 4books on Amazon. “Beyond the Wire” A true story of WW2. I chanced to meet a brave old lady who had survived occupation, deportation and imprisonment and I was so moved by her story I knew I had to write it and that led me to go further and research the life of her amazing father. hyperurl.co/BeyondtheWire “Amigo” Short Stories. The greatest fun to write but challenging too. I don`t know why so many people are reluctant to read short stories. They have it all. The perfect shape beginning, middle and end. Ten stories in “Amigo”to make you laugh and cry. hyperurl.co/Amigo “Ring of Secrecy” The ring of marriage, The ring of the Secret Service. Two people in love and both with secrets. Romantic. Funny.

AUTHOR INTERVIEW     A little introduction: My name is Francessca Bella, author of Mazarine Dreamer, and I'm creative, writerly, artistic, studious, organized, striving, productive, insightful, an INTJ, and I thrive with verbomania.  My favorite words are  rarissima , fanasticality, peachy-keen,  vivace , and automagical.  When did your love of books begin?

Looking back now, 29 manuscripts later, it seems like a walk through the park to get that f
