\"Claudia<\/p>\n

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.<\/strong><\/p>\n

CLAUDIA SHELTON – A word-filled-story-filled person who tries to fill the world with fast-paced romantic suspense\/thrillers and contemporary\/women’s fiction romance. I’m also in the process of branching out into a small-town cozy mystery series or an action-adventure thriller suspense series. On a personal note, Claudia considers herself a traveler, music lover and water person. Her main priority is spending time with family, friends and her two sweet, conniving rescue dogs. <\/span><\/p>\n

When you are writing, what are some go to’s that you needs? IE Foods to eat, noise level, place to sit.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

There’s nothing in particular as far as food. In fact when I’m into physically writing on deadline, I get so into the story that people have to remind me to eat.<\/span><\/p>\n

What are you favorite things about attending signings?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I love meeting everyone–readers, other authors, and the fabulous organizers! It’s one day of the year when everything books is perfectly aligned!<\/span><\/p>\n

When you are writing, do you have a consistent schedule where you write every day at the same time or are you a sit and go on different days to get it done kinda person?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m always writing in my head, but when I’m on deadline I try to physically write at least 7,000 words a week. <\/span><\/p>\n

What is your favorite memory so far as an author?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

When a reader comes up to me and tells me how much they like my books! Always makes me feel warm and fuzzy on the insides. Sometimes I need to be reminded that what I write, does make a difference.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do you have a book that is your most prized possession? What is it and why is it so amazing?<\/strong><\/p>\n

“THE SAILOR DOG” by Margaret Wise Brown, pictures by Garth Williams (A Simon & Schuster–Little Golden Book, 1953)– This was my favorite childhood book that took me away to a world of make-believe! I loved how Scuppers The Sailor Dog traveled around the world in search of adventure and never gave up. Nowadays I have a copy of this book, that I found at a bookseller’s booth at an antique fair, sitting beside a cover copy of my very first published book “Risk of a Lifetime”.<\/span><\/p>\n
