1. Must Love Green Chile? Tales of the Dark Avenger? What?
You Can't Go to Homecoming Again and Tales of the Dark Avenger represent the bulk of the previous two years
of my life. Each began life in novel form, however, pundits keep screaming, "FICTION IS DEAD!"
2. So, are these the novels serialized for the Web?
No. Harriet and Tales both work as establishing the novels'
back stories, but can be taken as their own, stand alone narratives.
3. Where can I buy your books?
You can't yet. My agent's working on it.
4. Okay, but The Land of Entrapment reads like chick-lit, and Tales of the Dark Avenger has superheroes. What gives?
I'm a sucker for relationship stories, but my early readers were mostly male, and they? Are not so big on the chick-lit.
Tales of the Dark Avenger is my way of paying them back for their endless patience. Plus, superheroes? Who, besides Joel
Schumacher, doesn't love a superhero?
5. So I just check in here for updates on both stories?
Yep. For now, updates will come when I have time, but in the near future I hope to be updating five days a week.
6. How do I get started?
You can start Must Love Green Chile here. You can begin the
Tales of the Dark Avenger here.
7. Okay, now that I've read some of the Dark Avenger, I've gotta ask...what's with the bunny suit?
It's just a part of who the Dark Avenger is. He's quick, like a bunny.
8. Why isn't the Dark Avenger presented as a web comic?
Because I can't draw and it'd be rude to ask my artist friends to contribute a new Dark Avenger comic every day pro bono.
9. But who drew that kick-ass Dark Avenger art?
Mad props for the Bunny Man must go to Ryan Bourret, a talented artist and even better friend living in Toronto.
He took the image of the Dark Avenger out of my skull and put on the page. He's Cooler Than You.
Check out his artwork at www.ryanbourret.com.
10. Do Harriet and the Dark Avenger inhabit the same universe?
Yes and no, though I promise not to get too meta on you.
11. Awesome sauce. But what if I want to shelve the fiction for a while and live vicariously through your life?
There is the requiste blog. Mine can be found at drivinginheels.blogspot.com
12. Why "Driving in Heels?"
I like driving. I like heels. I do a lot of driving in heels. Seemed to fit.
13. And what about you?
I'm just a twentysomething girl with a dream and a laptop living in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
14. Have you been published elsewhere?
I have a semi-sort-of occasional writing gig at the Albuquerque Journal, the state of New Mexico's largest
paper and, coincidentally, my employer. They rock for letting me write about the Oscars, cross country road
trips, trends in denim, the death of my hard drive and trashy literature.
I also wrote a few pieces for Entertainment Geekly, a science fiction fan site.
I should freelance more, but I tend to focus my extracurricular activities on fiction. Whoops.
15. We're friends. Are you writing about me?
No. Well, maybe. Call me, we'll talk.
16. I want to post your story in my Livejournal or on my website, or pass it off in my creative writing class!
Can I do that?
Not without express written permission from me, so please don't. I have one vicious agent/lawyer.
You don't want to mess with her. I call her "Killer" for a reason.
17. I'm a big-time publisher and want to offer you the standard Rich and Famous contract.
Awesome. I'm represented by Sha-Shana Crichton.
18. I'm a struggling writer too! Will your agent represent me?
Here's her submission guidelines portion of her website, but I don't know that she's taking new clients this time.
19. Can I write you a fan letter or send you slash fic featuring the Dark Avenger and Storm Drain?
Sure. Ship your e-mails to drivinginheels@gmail.com.
20. I love your site and your stories! I want to give you money!
Until we hit the big time, why don't you buy a t-shirt? Proceeds go to the I-need-a-new-laptop-and-I-ain't-talking-a-PC,-either fund.
21. Can I be you?
Um...no. But thanks.
