Author Chat feat. Dana Mentink

Hello and Welcome to the new weekly Feature here at the blog!  

I am so excited to share with you Author Interviews! 

To start things off I've asked an author that I like to call a Friend.  I met Dana back 2016 when I hopped on a Litfuse tour Featuring her Rom Com Sit, Stay Love. Click Here 

I really enjoyed her book and really wanted to read more.  And then I found our she writes Romantic Suspense!  I have kept hoping for a chance to  read one! 

Last summer I invited Dana to Feature Sit, Stay, Love on my first Dog Days of Summer Tour  I was so surprised when she accepted the invitation! I mean golly gee she is a famous Author!  You can read the post over Here

I can honestly say that Dana  joining me on that tour was confirmation that my desire to promote Good, Clean books was and is a dream that God put on my heart and my endeavors are Blessed.  

And so without further Ado let's Chat with Dana ...

 Do you have a furry friend that keeps you company or is your  office assistant? 

My furry friend who assists me in all writing endeavors is Junie the Wonder Dog. She's ten pounds of trouble in a fur coat!

What is your favorite snack while your writing? 

I try not to snack while writing, because I'm writing all the time, but I really enjoy this chocolate pudding I made with no sugar and coconut milk. 

Can you share your typical day schedule? 

I get up extremely early to write and I forge ahead until about 3:00 in the afternoon, interrupted by walks, chores and parenting duties.

 I am a quilter and as such we have several projects going on. Do you

typically have more than project in the works?

I always have more than one project going because I write two genres, inspy suspense and mystery.

What state in the U.S. would you like to visit to research for a book? 

I am so looking forward to returning to Alaska for more research!

Choose one place to write . . .A secluded island.  A cabin in the woods or a busy city? 

I suppose suppose I would love to write in a cabin...but not TOO secluded. I've written too many stories about bad things happening to people when they are too far away from help!  

Which book  is your favorite and why?

Which book is my favorite?  

Acckk! Usually the one I'm writing. I have always had a soft spot for Sit, Stay, Love since the inspiration for the dog was an actual canine rescued and rehomed by Muttville, a senior dog rescue here in San Francisco.

Thank you Dana for chatting with me today!  It is always fun to get together!
