K S Ferguson on Happiness, Family and Writing #AmReading #AmWriting #Contemporary
Tell us a bit about your family.
Grand-dad was a horse thief. Grandpa on the other side was a bigamist. Writing novels that involve crime and madness is in my blood.
How do you work through self-doubts and fear?
"La-la-la-la-la." Did you ask something?
What scares you the most?
Heights. I'm the pits when it comes to putting on a new roof or standing on the top of small, swaying buildings like the Space Needle.
What makes you happiest?
Good music, a stunning sunset, the ripe wheat waving in the autumn wind, the hummingbirds outside my window on a summer morning. I'm easy.
What’s your greatest character strength?
I shout and stand up for the underdog no matter the odds or the consequences.
What’s your weakest character trait?
I shout and stand up for the underdog no matter the odds or the consequences, but sometimes confrontation isn't the answer.
Why do you write?
When I write, I get to go to amazing places and meet interesting people doing important things. By writing, I get to share that experience with others.
Have you always enjoyed writing?
No. I started writing in fourth grade, but I couldn't spell half the words I wanted to use. Very frustrating.
What motivates you to write?
There's no drug that can compare to the feeling of getting the right words on the page in the right order to convey what you meant to say, what you want the reader to feel.
What writing are you most proud of?
I currently have three separate series on the go. My characters would never forgive me if you made me choose just one. And pride goeth before the fall, so I think maybe I should skate around this question.
