This is Author M.L Crum. Check her out. See what she likes as an author and what inspires her.
What made you want to become a writer? I always had it in the back of my head. I read books and thought about different ways I would have ended it, added a different twist or how I would have worded something. One period of my life I felt like I was searching for something else. I was wondering what else there was to me other than a wife, mother and teacher. One morning I awoke from a dream that stuck in my head and I knew that I had to get it down on paper. When I finished the first chapter I sat back and it hit me. I had always loved to write. This is what I need to do. That was my something else.
Where are you located? In southern Pennsylvania
What inspires you? Vivid details, fresh new ways of seeing and saying things, a good twist I didn’t see coming, a beautiful book romance that makes me wish I was their friend (or just his) and sometimes just watching the people and the dynamics that occurs between them.
What books do you like to read? I remember loving Janet Daily as a young adult. Later my taste turned to historical romances and then paranormal romances. I like a good mystery, but there has to be a romance or interesting relationship somewhere within the pages. I also have become fascinated with stories where we can get inside the head of someone who has mental challenges.
Favorite author: My favorite author seems to change the more I read. Right now I like Diana Gabaldon. I really like Gillian Flynn, but I have found that I can’t read too many of her books in a row because they are so dark and deep that I have to quickly find something happy/humorous to read. With paperback, I tend to give them away after I’m finished reading them, but I have held onto a Pamela Clare book for quite awhile now because it is my “sensual fantasy fun read.”
Favorite music: classic rock
Favorite food: a good steak and seafood
What time of day do you like to write? I don’t have a preference. I write whenever I can.
where do you like to write? In my den, but I plan out my scenes, plot development and character conversations during a nice bubble bath with notebook and pencil sitting beside my sweet tea.
How many books have you published? 1 so far. Book 2 just got picked up by a publishing company.
Do you self publish and if not who's your publishing company? My first book was self published. My second book was picked up by a publishing firm out of North Carolina called Pulse.
What are the titles of your books? Irony of Time and book two is called Hope With Stickers
What was the first book you got published? Mentioned above
What are you currently working on? I am trying to write Book Three (Maybe called Heart of Mine)
How old were you when you
first started writing? For fun, in
elementary school. I would write volumes
and volumes of stories. Professionally,
at the age of 42.

Miriam Duvall is followed by a shadow cast over her by irony itself.
Feeling reborn and falling in love-all within a blissful amnesia-this
feisty woman accidentally transcends the rules of time, regaining her memory
right at the precipice of the most tragic event of her past. Seizing the
opportunity, she looks destiny square in the eye and declares this time around,
she's the one in charge. She proceeds to manipulate the events leading to
that fatal accident before it deteriorates
the family she dearly loves and hurls her down a guilt-ridden path of
self-destruction again.
Her
opportunity for redemption knocks in the form of a handsome but mysterious
physicist named Dr. Ian Stone. Shrouded in secrets, this man's whole
existence revolves around preventing the moment evil claimed his soul, robbing
him of a life worth living. He has spent centuries calculating how to
harness an exorbitant amount of energy, wherein making time travel a reality.
However, one variable was never factored into his equations:
falling in love. His obsession fuels a deep denial, deflecting his
true feelings until his heart wins out at the exact moment he loses Miriam back
in time.
Their
contrasting worlds collide and repel during a series of climatic events
spiraling around a man harboring a dark secret as he travels back in time for a
second chance at love, ironically placing this exceptional woman in a position
where she must choose between a past life she desperately wants to change or a
future with the man she undeniably loves.
Her
slap-the-face-of-destiny decisions could deliver her into heartbreaking sadness
or possibly set her on a journey of forgiveness that will reset her soul.
