Interview with Charlie Hubacek

Published 2014-03-11.
What is the greatest joy of writing for you?
The research and learning about historical persons, who are the basis for my characters. And then the joy of creating a story in which for a period of time I also can be there to share in the action and lives of those folks who live in the books.
What do your fans mean to you?
I love getting feedback, whether it is positive or negative. This helps me grow and develop into a better writer.
What are you working on next?
Another historical fiction, but later on. Charlefor is set in 1789. I am now moving onto 1958 and another region of the country with a book I call, Into the high Ute Country.
Who are your favorite authors?
There are so many, I do not wish to play favorites. Kind of depends on my mood at the time.
What inspires you to get out of bed each day?
The adventure of a new day and new things to experience and learn from.
When you're not writing, how do you spend your time?
I read a lot about writing and study other authors that I hope to learn many lessons from.
How do you discover the ebooks you read?
I am new to ebooks. Still stuck in old ways with traditional books.
Do you remember the first story you ever wrote?
One that I started as a child and I will again work on someday in a short story. It is about Jonathon, a little, elf sort of many that lived in the woods on the farm that I lived as a child.
What is your writing process?
After getting an idea, I write with paper and pen, somewhat fast, to get the basic story down. Then I begin researching the time period and develop the characters.
Do you remember the first story you ever read, and the impact it had on you?
I don't recall the first.
How do you approach cover design?
I look for photos that are from the area that I am writing about and then play around with several and typefaces until I find something I think fits the story.
