Eva’s Byte #230 – Spotlight
For this week’s blog I thought I’d share 5 light-shedders on my published works or myself as a writer—spotlighted during various author guest spots or interviews. Only 5 because I’m a proponent of the KISS method: Keep it short and simplified!
*You’re cordially invited to share the spotlight by adding your own personal interest tidbits to any one or more of the following questions:
1- What drew you to writing?
Already a proficient typist by the age of nine, courtesy of my mother’s tutelage, the catalyst which served as my writing inspiration occurred when I was twelve years old. A malfunction in the electrical wiring caused our doorbell to ring automatically. This prompted me to compose, “The Mystery of the Midnight Doorbell,” a short story involving secret codes and a smuggling ring.
My overactive imagination soon spurred several mysteries and serial spy thrillers. In high school, I wrote a romance novella which earned its place on a library shelf. The rigors of college, and the demands placed on a rewarding teaching career, shelved further creative writing ambitions until I retired from the profession. With time on my hands, midlife restlessness reactivated my dormant imagination.
2 – What is the strangest subject or topic you’ve ever written about?
In my mind’s eye, the strangest subject I’ve expounded upon which propelled my first published novel, Underlying Notes (2008), is that of “fragrance addiction”.
3 - What has been your greatest moment as a writer so far?
I’ll single out is my unsolicited interview with TIME news reporter, Jeninne Lee- St. John. Conducted by telephone, she delved into the driving force behind my debut novel, Underlying Notes, shortly after its publication. (March 17, 2008 print issue): "Scents and Sentsitivity".

4 – What do you think makes a good story?
Since my primary writing genre is Contemporary Women’s Fiction, for me it’s blurring the demarcation lines between fact and fiction by overlapping them so they’re indistinguishable.
5 - Name your favorite comfort or reward food.
Since I don’t like to break my stride at the keyboard, I’ll “import” just desserts to my office. I enjoy munching on a Nestle’s Crunch bar and sipping Dunkin Donuts iced coffee—vanilla or mocha.

I loved Underlying Notes. How you wove the subject of fragrance addiction into a compelling story was genius.
