Author Interview: Gabrielle Black
We are excited to welcome author, Gabrielle Black, to the nest today. She's here to discuss her novel, Treating Murder.
Andrea @ Reading Lark: Can you describe your novel in 5 words?
Gabrielle: No, I can't do that… Okay, seriously. Doctor's patient murdered. She's accused.
Andrea @ Reading Lark: When did you know that you wanted to be a writer?
Gabrielle: Since early childhood. I wrote and 'published' many poems, stories, and drawings. I even wrote a pictorial (traced) called, '50 birds of North America'. I still have it.
Crayon doesn't really allow for inserting additional words in your title.
Andrea @ Reading Lark: Which of your characters is most like you?
Gabrielle: Veronica Lane
Andrea @ Reading Lark: Why?
Gabrielle: Well, she's a doctor, and a southern girl. Beyond that, however, she's really smarter and cooler than I am.
Andrea @ Reading Lark: How did you choose the title of your novel?
Gabrielle: My best friend came up with it when I first described the book I wanted to write.
Andrea @ Reading Lark: If you were a breakfast cereal, what kind would you be?
Gabrielle: One with nuts, and starch, and maybe a little sweetness. Um, Honey nut cheerios.
Andrea @ Reading Lark: It's a Reading Lark tradition to ask - What is your favorite bird?
Gabrielle: That's a toughie. You can see that birds and I go way back. Right now, my red canary is singing to me, and I have a gorgeous swan in the backyard. As far as wild birds go, and documented in my pictorial, Painted Buntings always come in first.
