Released: 10/6/2020
Genre: Historical Fiction
Interview by Heather L. Barksdale
What inspired you to write “1871: Rivers on Fire”?
Buchheit: As a former resident of upstate Wisconsin, I've always been bothered by the lack of awareness of Peshtigo and its tragic night of fire. This, along with my continuing interest in fact-based historical fiction, inspired me to start writing.
When you encounter writer’s block, what do you do to break yourself out of it?
Buchheit: I force myself to write a fixed period of time every morning, despite my mood. I find that anything written down, no matter how quickly or clumsily, is of value later on when I do a second pass.
Is there anything that you want readers to know about you, your writing process, or your book?
Buchheit: I'd like readers to know that much of the book is factual. The very end contains a listing of brief real-life biographies.
What is your favorite book, genre, and/or author?
Buchheit: Historical fiction. Kenneth Roberts novels.
What are you working on next?
Buchheit: Haven't decided. Writing is such hard work!
