Author Interview: Suzanne Selfors

When you were a kid, what did you dream of being?

Funny, but I never thought I'd be a writer. I wanted to be a marine biologist, then a film director.

What was your favorite book growing up?

I'm a huge Roald Dahl fan. Matilda is one of my favorite characters as is Charlie Bucket(Charlie & The Chocolate Factory).

What was your first book published and how old were you?

My first book was To Catch A Mermaid, published in Sept, 2007. I was old and I'm even older now.

How many books have you written? Do you have a favorite, or do you love all your books the same?

Today I've published seven books, with more coming out next year. I think I'm like a lot of writers when I say that my favorite book is the one I'm going to write next.

What's your work schedule when your writing?

I like to go to coffeehouses to write. I work best when I'm surrounded by people and music. I do that for about 3 hours a day. I spend as much time each day dealing with emails and the business end of writing.

Now that your an author, do you still have time to read?

Not as much as I'd like, unfortunately. I read a lot of middle grade, and I read a lot of nonfiction.

Do you have any more books your in the making of?

In May my kids book, SMELLS LIKE TREASURE, will be released. And in 2012 I'll have another teen book released, which I'm writing right now.
