I do see it as a career. A career to me is something that
you invest your time, money, and energy into to create a living for yourself,
as well as, contribute to society in some way. I have definitely invested a lot
of time and money into my book and I feel that it provides joy and
entertainment to those who read it. This
will be true for my many more books to come.
#2 – What was the Hardest Part of Your Writing Process?
Writing is the easy part for me, everything else is hard.
Naming the book, picking the cover, deciding how to market, these are the tough
decisions for me. As a person I don’t
like making very big decisions. Especially decisions that are so important they
have the ability to make or break your books success. If it wasn’t for my publicist Vicki I would
be lost in a world of “I have no clue”.
I think that it is very important for authors, especially new authors,
to have a solid team of people to help you and also encourage you along your
journey. There is nothing wrong with
admitting your lack of experience.
#3 – Did you have any One Person Who Helped You Out with
Your Writing Outside of Your Family?
Yes, my editor Rosa and my publicist Vicki. Rosa and I have had plenty of debates on past
and present tense in fiction writing. She has truly helped me to become a
better writer and more detail oriented during my self-reviews. Vicki has been an Ace when it comes to getting
my name out there and building my fan base.
It doesn’t matter if you have a great book if no one knows about it and
she has been instrumental in making sure that people know about my book.
#4 – What is next for your writing?
I actually have a series that I am working on right
now. It is based on three friends and
although they will each have their own books I plan to have them be very
interconnected. In some cases I will even have a conflict that started in one
book end in another. I am really excited about this serious. It has more of a
romantic thriller feel to it and I am literally sitting on the edge of my seat
as I write it.
#5 – Do you have an addiction to reading as well as writing?
If so, what are you currently reading?
I most certainly do. Honestly, if it weren’t for my love of
reading I don’t think that I would have ever found my love of writing. I am currently reading The Nanny Diaries. It
is not a romance novel but it is a great read so far.

This or That?
#1 - iPd or Mp3?
Honestly, I still am not 100% sure what an Mp3 is, so I am
going to have to go with iPod. Although
I didn’t get my first one until I was about 18. I’m a bit of a late bloomer
when it comes to technology.
#2 – Chocolate or Vanilla?
I’m thinking about a Wendy’s frosty here. I love the
chocolate frosty. It’s the original and it can’t be beat in my mind. Granted, I
have never given vanilla a chance.
#3 – Mashed Potatoes or French Fries?
FRENCH FRIES! If I could eat nothing else in this world it
would be French Fries. They knew what they were doing when they created the
crispy, golden brown, deep fried stick of deliciousness.
#4 – Comedy or Drama?
Comedy all the way. I
love a good gut busting laugh. I even
like jokes that I don’t get at first because then when I finally do a few
minutes later I have something to laugh at again.
#5 – Danielle Steel or Nicholas Sparks?
Just from the stand point that I have never read any of
Nicholas Sparks books I am going to have to go with Danielle Steel. But I have seen his movies and I love them.
#6 – Fantasy or Reality?
Reality has nothing compared to the little voices that live
in my head. Fantasy in my opinion stands for the ability to create your perfect
world. Why wouldn’t anyone want to always be in the world they thought was
perfect?
#7 – Call or Text?
Calls mean more to me. They tell me that you have taken the
time to fully invest in me and our conversation. When you are texting you can
be doing a million other things, but with a call you have to be paying
attention the entire time.
#8 – Public School or Home School
Neither. I would go private school. I suck at math so my kid
would be at a high disadvantage with me as a teacher. But public schools don’t give as much
attention to children as I think they should.
Now, don’t get me wrong I went to public school, but I think that just
makes me more qualified to say I don’t want my kids going.
#9 – Coffee or Hot Chocolate?
My veins no longer have blood in them, just coffee. I feel like a zombie until my first cup of
the morning. If I’m feeling fancy I will put some hazelnut creamer or wipe
cream on it, but I can’t function without it.
#10 – eBook or Paperback?
I want to eventually have a library in my house which is
proof of my love of the paperback.
eBooks are great, but there is nothing like the feel of the book in your
hand. Not having to worry about battery
life and finding your charger in the middle of the most intense love scene you
have ever read. Paperbacks are forever in my mind.
Raised in Charlotte NC, G.S. Carr has always enjoyed indulging in her imagination. At a very young age she had a thirst for reading and the many possibilities it helped come alive in her mind’s eye. She consumed books like they were the air she needed to survive. It seemed inevitable that her love of reading would transcend into a desire to create her own stories. She began writing poetry and stories at the age of 10. By the time she was thirteen she found her passion in the romance genre and has not looked back ever since.
