Krystyna Priscina Whitlomb

When I was little, the bookshelf was kept in my room. It had a lot of dimestore paperback novels, the horror kind. I don't recall the authors very well. I did read V.C. Andrews at too early an age, that's for sure! The flair for the dramatic that these books gave me, the twists and wickedness, I definitely held on to.

I am not a plotter, typically. I am a pantser. I write by the seat of my pants. I don't always have an ending in mind, and I don't always know who is going to be in a story. I'm the sort that hears voices from the ether and follows their lead. Sometimes they nudge me to change something, sometimes I have to nudge them to allow for them to be expressed properly. I did three drafts for Methuselah. Writing her took about a few months. Editing took two years ;)
