Rebeka White interview 2

AUTHOR INTERVIEW 2

First of all welcome back for another interview with Feed My Reads as our community really do appreciate you taking the time to do this.

So, our first question is who is your writing hero?

I have to say Margaret Atwood. The way she intertwines creativity with the real world remains relevant and fascinating throughout decades. 

Which book or books would you say influenced you the most on your writing journey?

I could never say just one. Dianne Chamberlain's book, The Dream Daughter, taught me a new perspective on my writing, Kim Michelle Richardson's book, The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek, taught me how to stay true to my roots, while Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale and The Testaments taught me the importance of reality in a work of fiction.  There are so many more! Jennifer Chiaverini's The Enchantress of Numbers, Ellen Goodlett's Rule, etc., etc., etc,. 

If you could choose one book by someone else that you wish you had written then which would it be and why?

There's a novel called "The Salt Line" by Holly Goddard Jones I could not put down. It told such a unique story, following several in-depth characters in a detailed world. I felt I was beyond the salt line, my stamp in hand! I love how Holly crafted such an interesting, vivid dystopian world and deep characters who lived/experienced/adapted to it in their own ways! As an author, I hope I may learn the skill to world-craft and story-tell in my own dystopian book as she has.  

Who have been your biggest supporters during your writing career to date and what would you like to say to them?

My best friend has been my rock and my absolute biggest fan throughout my entire writing career. Thank you for your dark humor, memes and support all these years, Telepath. Love you!

We all know how important reviews are to authors so if you could speak directly to them what would you say about reviewing books they read?

I truly hope you enjoy reading my books as much as I enjoyed writing them! Reading has provided me such an escape from reality in the past and I hope my story allows you to step into a whole new world.
