Mary Ricksen: I am Interviewing Heather Graham, Rhonda Pollero and Skhye Moncrief

About Me

Name: Mary Ricksen

Location: West Palm Beach, FL, United States

I moved to Florida in 1980. I was born in Vt., but it's cold sooo long, I'll settle for scenic North Carolina. I enjoy the change of seasons. Spring, summer, winter, and fall, all have such a unique flavor; here it's just too subtle. I loved to ride horses more than anything. My dog Junior is a character in my first book, and there will be more of my pets in my next book. We moved a lot when I was young, from Canada to New York, and from Texas, to Florida. I met all kinds of people, and I find that the more rural it is, the more friendly people are. I have been married for a long time. So long it's like he's my left hip. But I'll keep him, he can fix anything! I have a beautiful secret garden, with everything from Plumeria, to Penta. There is nothing better than sitting out there with a good book and seeing the palms and ferns wave in the breezes, in winter, the real time to be here in Florida. I have written and published my first book in a series that takes place on Lake Champlain in Vermont. My always home. The only thing like the Green Mountains are the Great Smokey's, and a little town called Bryson City, NC. My next home, hopefully!

I am Interviewing Heather Graham, Rhonda Pollero and Skhye Moncrief

I am a member of a wonderful blog called The Pink Fuzzy Slipper Writers. We blog about all kinds of things, and we have a wide variety of people with different opinions and strong ideals. We respect good writing when we see it.

So in that light I am telling everyone I have the privilege of interviewing three wonderful authors in the month of March.

On March 6th I have been fortunate enough to get THE New York Times Best Selling Author, Heather Graham to blog for us! Am I good or what!
We all know who she is and the list of books and honors would fill this page if I tried to put them all down on paper. She is the best of the best and her name will undoubtedly go down in the annals of romance history!
'The Runaway' convinced me agree to move to Florida, and the 'Seance', made me desperately want to be a part of a seance!

On March 13th, I will interview the up and coming author, Skhye Moncrief, who has publised seven books with the. . Skhye is a fellow author with The Wild Rose Press, my own publishing company. Where she is wll known and well loved. Her book, 'Haunted Hearts' exposes cults and 'He Of The Fiery Sword' is written in my favorite genre, time travel, a dragon in human form is sent back in time from the 61st Century. Cool!

On March 16th, I will interview THE USA Today Best Selling Author, Rhonda Pollero/Kelsey Roberts. Rhonda's acerbic wit drew me in and she makes me feel like I am with a down to earth regular person. Yet her class shines like a crystal chandelier. She is also the best of the best, and her books will also fill libraries till the end of time. From the Intrigue of 'His Only Son' which helped foster my love to read, to the to the hilarious Finley series, and 'Fat Chance', I got hooked. She cracks me up, Rhonda can write. Boy can she write!

PLEASE come to our blog at pinkfuqqyslipperwriters.blogspot.com, on 3/2, 3/13, and 3/16. (psst...I am trying to impress the others.)

I think if this is successful I will try to get other authors to blog for me. Are you with me?

Thanks for commenting on my Blog, Mary. No it's OK, they Devil didn't want the dog, he was hoping to gain the old woman's soul, so the dog was fine.

(The dog who had a really bad deal was poor Gelert, the houd of Prince Llewelyn, but that's another story entirely)

(By the way did you get my interview questions? No hurry as long as they didn't get lost in the ether! :); February 28, 2009 7:55 PM
