Interview with Reba White Williams

On Monday, Reba White Williams was here to talk about Restrike- today, it’s #literaryconfessions, movies and more!

Author Spotlight: Reba White Williams

1. What are some of your favorite books, Reba?

A: Pride and Prejudice, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Little White Horse

2. Do you have any #literaryconfessions?

A: I won’t willingly read a book that ends without resolution. I like to know how everything turns out, and am annoyed if it’s all left hanging.

3. If you could be a character in any book—who would you like to be? Why?

A: Elizabeth Bennet, because she marries Mr. Darcy.

4. What is your favorite book of all time?

A: I’m tied with the three I listed in #1.

5. Movies that are based on books—are you a fan? Or is the book always better?

A: I like some of them. For example, I’ve liked all the films made from Jane Austen’s books, and I loved both the book and the film of To Kill a Mockingbird. And I enjoyed both the Harry Potter books and the films.

Several weeks ago, through TLC Book Tours, I had the opportunity to review Reba White Williams book, Restrike. Enjoying the mix of art and mystery (plus the 2 sassy women characters), I approached Reba White Williams about an interview. Happily she agreed!

Today, Reba will talk about her book, Restrike, and on Wednesday- she will be back to reveal #literayconfessions!

Interview with Reba White Williams

1. Reba, what was the inspiration for Restrike?

A: I love mysteries, and always wanted to write one. I got the idea of two female protagonists from an old TV show, Cagney & Lacey.

2. Coleman and Dinah—Southern girls now living in New York City. Which character is more similar to you, Reba?

A: I’m not much like either of them. But I’d like to think I’m as determined and as loyal as Coleman.

3. When writing Restrike, did you know how the book would end? Or did it reveal itself during the writing process?

A: Yes, I always knew how it would end.

4. Reba, do you have a writing space or routine?

A: Not really. I make notes when I have a thought, and incorporate it when I have a minute.

5. If Restrike was made into a movie, any idea or suggestions for a dream cast?

A: No, I haven’t thought about a film—just more books.

6. Will you be going on a book signing tour, Reba?

A: Yes, I have been touring for a while—and I leave for Maine next week.

7. Coleman and Dinah, what can readers expect from that duo in future books?

A: Fatal Impressions will be published in April 2014; Bloody Royal Prints, in October 2014.
