Now let’s shine the spotlight on Hunter!
Maer: Do you use beta readers and, if
so, what qualities do you look for in a
beta?
Hunter: Yes, I use two main betas, one
is a reader, the other a writer. I take
their advice, usually, since the see the
story from two different perspectives.
Maer: What is a one line synopsis for
your story?
Hunter: Is the future among the stars,
in the cards or locked in your heart?
Maer: Is this a stand-alone or part of a
series?
Hunter: This is the first installment in
The Fortune Series. The Story of Dallas
Fortune. I am planning on writing three
installment for the series. All three will
be short stories or novelettes.
Maer: Sounds like fun! Which
character, other than Dallas, is one of
your favorites to write and why?
Hunter: Ernesto Lorenze. He wrote
himself. I knew what he looked like,
how he spoke, how tall he is ...
everything. He is fantastic!
Maer: If you had to pick a color to
describe Dallas what would that be and
why?
Hunter: Blue. Shades of blue. She is a
guitar player who suffers an accident.
She has to re-learn how to walk. She
moves back to her family farm in rural
Tennessee. Do you need more?
Maer: Who are your favorite authors to
read?
Hunter: Thousands of authors, simply
thousands. Right now, I am reading an
Alison Weir book, Elizabeth of York.
The history books clear my mind,
somehow. I always read one before I
start a new project.
Maer: What a great idea! Can you share
a bit about the project you’re working
on now?
Hunter: It’s a story of making your way
in the world. Of finding out who you
are and the people you need to
surround yourself with, due to the
positive influence.
Maer: What do you do when you’re not
writing?
Hunter: Working out, shopping, love
to travel. Good conversation over a
great glass of red wine is a favorite.
Maer: What influenced you to write in
your genre? Do you write in others?

Hunter: My genre is Fiction. The story
finds me, whether it is horror, erotic, or
romantic. I never know what I will write
about until the story finds me.
Maer: What music, if any, do you like
to listen to while writing?
Hunter: No music while writing. It’s
just brain overload and I cannot focus.
Music before I write gives me a sense of
the rhythm of the words, the flow of
the story line. Each story has had its
own them
