#ThisorThatThursday Author Interview with Stephanie Caffrey
/
I’d like to welcome Stephanie Caffrey to the blog for #ThisorThatThursday!
Hardest thing about being a writer: Finding the time to actually sit down and write.
Easiest thing about being a writer: Creating the characters and their backstory.
Things you need for your writing sessions: My laptop, my folder full of research and character outlines, The Emotion Thesaurus, and my ear buds with my specific playlist for that project.
Things that hamper your writing: My children always seem to need me the second I sit down to write.
Words that describe you: Friendly, helpful, open, maternal
Words that describe you, but you wish they didn’t: Pushover.
Something you’re really good at: Things that are creative.
Something you’re really bad at: Spatial awareness and how it relates to filling that space with stuff.
Favorite music or song: I love classic rock, especially The Beatles.
Music that drives you crazy: Anything with heavy bass.
Things you’d walk a mile for: Really good food, specifically Greek food. We walked more than a mile in Dublin for Greek food last summer.
Things that make you want to run screaming from the room: Large insects and birds.
Things you always put in your books: Lots of humor.
Things you never put in your books: Open door sex scenes.
Favorite places you’ve been: Ireland and Turkey.
Places you never want to go to again: The Spook Cave.
Favorite books (or genre): Jane Eyre is my all-time favorite book.
Books you wouldn’t buy: Anything by talking heads.
Besides writing, what’s the most creative thing you’ve done: I’m really into crochet at the moment, and I made everyone I know stuffed animals.
A project that didn’t quite turn out the way you planned it: My attempt at doing a Bob Ross painting.
Some real-life story that made it to one of your books: In Mistaken Identity, Evelyn is traveling through London to get to Greece. We really did that on our honeymoon, and visited the place Evelyn is supposed to go on her dig.
Something in your story that readers think is about you, but it’s not: I haven’t had any experience with this yet, but I think once Be My Little Baby comes out people might think I’m sort of master baker, but I’m not. That’s my sister.
