The PP Gals welcome Rayne Golay, guest author of The Wooden Chair. Hi, Rayne!
How did
you get from your day job to writing romance? When offered early retirement, I jumped at the chance.
Now I was finally free to pursue my lifelong dream to write. I procrastinated
for a couple of years during which I traveled extensively with my late husband.
I had all sorts of excuses why I wasn’t writing, among them that I didn’t have
the right tools. Instead of going out to buy myself a PC, I complained that I
didn’t have the right means with which to write. Part of the reason for why I
dragged my feet was fear of failing at the thing I’d always wanted to do. When
my children gave me my first lap top as a birthday gift, they removed my last
obstacle. Now I had to do it, write.

“The Senator’s Wife” by Sue Miller
What are your three favorite books of all
time?
“Middlesex” by Jeffrey Eugenides“The Egyptian” by Mika Waltari
“The Senator’s Wife” by Sue Miller
Morning,
afternoon, or evening person? I love the evening hours when all the have
to’s are out of the way. It’s happened
that I get up in the middle of the night to write. There’s something both
peaceful and exciting about the late hours when all is still, and I’m alone,
just me and my characters.
Music--with
or without? What kind? Quiet, quiet, genius at work! (LOL) Much as I love
music, chiefly classical like Beethoven, Sibelius, Bruch, it intrudes on that
space inside where my characters live.
