Author Interview with Charlotte Copper

Meet Charlotte Copper

**************************************************************************************

GRP:  Today I have the pleasure of speaking with Charlotte Copper

So first I want to say to Ms. Copper, thank you for taking the time to speak to me today.

Thank you so much for having me here!

GRP:  Where do you draw your inspiration for writing?

Honestly…everywhere. I carry a little notebook with me all the time, just in case.

 My first book started with me daydreaming on my drive to work about who I would be if I was on the show Stargate Atlantis (and how I’d end up with Colonel Sheppard – wink, wink!).  The story took on a life of its own, and you would never recognize the story for that now if you read it. 

Sometimes my daughter will be telling me a story about a friend, and she’ll say “Trenton said blah, blah, blah” and I’ll say “Ohhhhhh, Trenton, I like that name!” and out comes the little notebook.

GRP:  How do you create your characters?

I don’t create my characters, they develop on their own and then stand up and say “hey, over here!”.  Sometimes I’ll help them a little with their backstory, but most of the time, they already know what it is.

GRP:  Do you have a guilty pleasure?

Well, I don’t drink coffee, tea or alcohol.  It’s not a health or moral thing, I just don’t like the taste. Once a year, however, at Christmas my friends and I go to this restaurant that has these amazing frozen, fruity, alcohol drinks called Belinis.  I end up getting brain-freezes because I drink them like pop. (Probably a good thing I don’t drink alcohol the rest of the year.)

GRP:  How many hours in a day do you spend writing?

Definitely not enough.  My life is too busy to have structured time.  I wish I had it, but I’m forced to carve out an hour or two here and there to do my writing. I can honestly say I haven’t even looked at my writing in the last month, which is sad.

GRP:  Do you read in your spare time? and if so what is your favorite type of book to read?

I read a lot of paranormal and young adult, but I recently took a break from that and read a horror book called Afraid by Jack Kilborn. It was awesome.

GRP:  What did you do in a your past life

I think it must have been something to do with cooking, because I hate to cook now.  Like maybe I did too much of it in my former life.  My oven broke two years ago, and I haven’t replaced it yet. I mean, I do cook – the stove top still works, I have a small toaster oven, and I bbq a lot – but fancy cooking, forget it!

GRP: Is there anything else you want your readers to know about you?

My first book, Silver Blade, released July 24^th.  Silver Blade is the story of Angela Knight, an attractive black jack dealer, and Oscar McAvoy, a demon hunter whom she literally picks up at the side of the road. It’s a story about two people who feel unworthy of love, but who find out fate has a plan of its own.

Silver Blade is a paranormal-romance novella, available electronically through The Wild Rose Press and Amazon.
