#ThisorThatThursday Author Interview with Kaye George

#ThisorThatThursday Logo.png

I’d like to welcome mystery author Kaye George back to the blog for #ThisorThatThursday!

Favorite thing to do when you have free time: In the times we’re having now, nap and
binge watch Netflix are tied for first.

The thing you’ll always move to the bottom of your to do list: Cleaning the house.

Favorite snacks: Lately I’ve developed a string cheese habit. In fact, I just went and got a piece. And chocolate. Dark chocolate in any form.

Things that make you want to gag:  Okra.

Favorite smell: My late husband’s pillow. He was in a home at the end and they washed every single thing before they gave it back to me. There was nothing with his smell on it. But the pillow on our bed still, after a couple years, retains something of him.
Something that makes you hold your nose: Okra

Something you’re really good at: I’ve realized recently that worrying is my super power. It’s good to know your strengths, I think.
Something you’re really bad at: Remembering things I don’t write down.

Something you wanted to be when you were a kid: A really young, kid? I used to follow the garbage truck up the alley, fascinated by their job. I thought there was something romantic about what they did, daring and brave. I thought, then, that I would love to have that job. You could see what everyone threw out. I grew out of that. But I still like to learn a lot about people and, honestly, that would be one way to do it.

Something you do that you never dreamed you’d do: I knew I never wanted to get married and have kids. I knew my life would be all dishes and laundry. I met a guy who was very convincing, and actually did get married and have kids. And it was all dishes and laundry. But with a soulmate and kids, and now grandkids. I wouldn’t trade my life for anyone’s.

Something you wish you could do: Right now? Go to any store I want to at any time, unfettered, with no worries.

Something you wish you’d never learned to do: Take precautions, wear my mask, disinfect everything, stay home. But I think we all wish that.

Favorite things to do: That’s easier to answer during a pandemic when you can’t do very much at all. I probably wouldn’t have given the same answers a few months ago. I now realize that seeing my kids and grandkids, being able to go into any store I want on a whim and browse the aisles, and regular grocery shopping are some of the things I miss the most.

Things you’d run through a fire or eat bugs to get out of doing: That’s probably the same. Sky diving. I’m afraid of heights and I think I’d be dead of a heart attack long before I hit the ground after passing out and failing to pull the ripcord.

About Kaye: Kaye George is a national-bestselling, multiple-award-winning author of pre-history, traditional, and cozy mysteries (her latest is the Vintage Sweets series from Lyrical Press).

KG Nov 10 2016.jpg

I’d like to welcome mystery author, Kaye George to the blog this week for #ThisorThatThursday.

Things you need for your writing sessions: My computer, silence, my files, a deadline

Things that hamper your writing: Noise, heat.

Things you love about writing: I feel so very good after I’ve written something. Even better after it’s published and someone says they enjoyed it, that I entertained them and made their day better.

Things you hate about writing: How hard it on my neck, back, hands, and eyes.

Hardest thing about being a writer: Answering this question: Where do you get your ideas?

Easiest thing about being a writer: Getting ideas. I have enough ideas to last
me 100 years, should I live that much longer. I honestly have no idea where
they came from. They’re just there.

Things you never want to run out of: Dr. Pepper, toilet paper, sticky notes.

Things you wish you’d never bought: That caramel flavored candy corn. It’s awful. Way too sweet.

Favorite foods: Anything with sugar and/or chocolate

Things that make you want to gag:  Cilantro, anchovies, boiled okra.

Favorite beverage: I have several that I drink at least every week: iced tea, Dr. Pepper, Scotch (any kind but Dewar’s).


Something that gives you a sour face: Sweet tea, Dewar’s Scotch.

Favorite smell: Either lavender or vanilla. I like plain smells.

Something that makes you hold your nose: The skunks outside my house at night,
those stinkbugs that love to come inside, the kitchen sink and trash bag when
I’ve been writing too much and ignoring things around me.

Things you always put in your books: Some humor, some romance, tension, human beings as real as I can make them.

Things you never put in your books: Hurting children or animals.

Things to say to an author: Oh, you write mysteries? I love to read mysteries. Yes, I’d love your card.

Things to say to an author if you want to be fictionally killed off in their next book: Have I ever heard of you?

Favorite places you’ve been: Anywhere! I like to go. I love to go to places I haven’t been. I’ve been lucky enough to travel to Europe a few times, to lots of writing conferences, to visit my far flung relatives
every once in a while. I’ve also lived a lot of places and liked all of them, with the exception below.

Places you never want to go to again: Montana in the winter when it’s 40 below (80 below with the terrific Great Falls wind chill). But I love it other times of the year.

Favorite books (or genre): I don’t really have just one. I like to read mystery, horror, biography, autobiography, true crime, history, historical fiction, humor, and maybe some others.

Books you wouldn’t buy: I’m not sure. I’ll never say never on this category.

Things that make you happy: My kids and grandkids. Good weather. Being able to tend a garden.

Things that drive you crazy: Allergens in the air. Too much rain, Not enough rain.
