AUTHOR Q & A with KIRSTY DALLAS...
We asked author Kirsty Dallas to stop by and tell us a little about herself, what inspires her to write and show us what her typical writing process looks like. Here's what she had to say...
Q. A Typical Day in the Life of Kirsty Dallas
A. Oh my gawd, my life is so boring. My alarm goes off at 6a.m and I snooze it half a dozen times before dragging myself from bed. I inhale a decafe coffee, because my cruel heart specialist won’t let me drink the real stuff. Three days a week I go to a real job as an optometric assistant, and the other two days I try to jam thousands of words into those few precious hours I have to myself. Weekends I usually keep free to hang with my ladybug and do awesome stuff like grocery shopping and cleaning…#nothingawesomeaboutgroceryshopping My nights are filled with homework, dinner, shower time, then finally I read for a couple of hours. Rinse, wash and repeat. Told you, B.O.R.I.N.G!
Q. What Inspired Me to Write This Book
A. I was flicking through my Facebook newsfeed and I saw a picture of Cupid shooting someone in the ass, and I giggled…then I had a lightbulb moment. The rough plot took heaps of sharp turns and a few back-steps as I did a crash course in Greek Mythology for Dummies courtesy of Google.
Q. List (5) things you’ll never do again.
A. Drink Sambuca gross
A lingerie boudoir shoot (as the model) cringes
Perm my fringe sorry world
Hitchhike sorry mum
Google ‘Girl And A Cup’ can’t unsee that
Q. If you could be any age again for a week, which would you choose?
A. Twenty-six! I didn’t save a cent that year. Every dollar I earned went to rent, the Strongbow Cider brewery and the Tugun Tavern weekly pool comp.
Q. Give an example of a paragraph of your work before and after editing.
A. I’ll do one better and attach a screen shot of editing in progress. It’s scary!
Q. Any guest post from a character's point of view.
A. “You want a post from me? Do you know who I am? I’m Mac the bangalicious, and my daddy is a bad-ass MoFo who will skin you alive and sauté your loins if you look at me the wrong way. And I don’t do posts…I do dudes, and I do them well.” ~ Macaria (the alleged daughter of Hades)
Q. Is there anything that you would like to say to your readers and fans?
A. In the words of Phoibe and Mac…I FLOVE YOU GUYS!
