Interview by Heather L. Barksdale
What inspired you to write “Little Devil”?
Cook: The setting inspired Little Devil. There is a mansion on the Sacramento River with a guest cottage on stilts. Large Oak trees are on the grounds and an owl lives in one of the trees. My husband's brother lives in the guest cottage.
Is there anything that you want readers to know about you, your writing process or your book?
Cook: 80% of my writing process occurs in my head for months before a word ever makes it to paper.
If "Little Devil" was adapted into a movie, who would you like to see cast to play your lead characters?
Cook: This is a fun question! Theo James for Steve (MMC)! Yani Gellman for Bruno(love interest)! Lili Reinhart for Amanda (narrator/FMC)! Olivia Wilde and Jared Leto for the twins! And Helen Mirren for the matriarch/old woman!
Are there any tips that you would like to share with other aspiring authors?
Cook: Write what you want to read!
When you encounter writer’s block, what do you do to break yourself out of it?
Cook: I read a book!
What is your favorite genre, book, and/or author?
Cook: I love thrillers with romance. Anne Rice has always been a favorite of mine.
What are you working on next?
Cook: I'm working on book 3 of my SACtown Mystery collection (Prima Donna). This one will occur at Sacramento State's Capistrano Hall and be a very loose reflection of the Phantom of the Opera.
