GUEST POST
Q&A with Leslie Wolfe
Your
writing style is fast, filled with dialogue, almost at the expense of
descriptives and narratives. Why is that?
This
is how human beings interact, especially when under pressure or
stress. We stop paying attention to our surroundings, and focus on
the task at hand. People interact with one another, talk to one
another, and have feelings for one another and for everything we do.
That’s what I’m focused on, rather than specifying each article
of clothing someone wears, or the color of the flower vase in an
office somewhere. This technique isn’t necessarily good or bad;
just somewhat different from mainstream.
What’s
the biggest compliment you received from a fan?
It’s
when readers tell me they stay up all night to finish the book,
because they couldn’t put it down. That’s music to my ears
Like any other artist and entertainer, I thrive knowing that I
deliver that escape into the fictional world in a grasping,
addictive, and memorable way.
Do
you do any book signings, interviews, speaking and personal
appearances? If so, when and where is the next place where your
readers can see you? Where can they keep up with your personal
contacts online?
Apart
from social media and email interactions, I’m a veritable recluse.
Email is the best and quickest way to reach me, and I was fortunate
to build true friendships with readers over email. The majority of my
readers ask me when’s the next book coming out, not when I’m
getting out of the house, so I get the hint and keep on writing.
