This month I had a chat with Dystopian Author T.D Shields. I’ve read the first book in T.D Shields Shadow and Light series, Into Shadow, and enjoyed every moment! So I thought we should get to know her a little better.
LJ: Can you please share with us where you write?
TS: Sitting at my messy desk in my giant recliner!
LJ: What are the ages of your children?
TS: I have 4 kids – currently aged 13, 10, 8 and 6
LJ: Wow, four kids! How about pets?
TS: We have 5 cats (only 3 of which consented to be photographed)
LJ: Can you please draw me a picture that represents you?
TS: I kind of prefer it all stylized and artistic-like… because it erases my wrinkles and double-chin! 😉
LJ: Other than writing, what are you passionate about?
TS: Reading! My number one hobby is definitely reading, but I also love wasting time with online match-3 games.
LJ: Do you have a favourite quote? I’d love for you to share it with us.
TS: This probably describes about ¾ of my life:
LJ: Love it! I’ll be using this from now on. How about a favourite singer or band?
TS: Oh goodness, that probably changes on a nearly daily basis. It all depends on what I’m in the mood for. At the moment I’m listening to the soundtrack for Trolls because it’s fun and catchy. Most often I have the music on the classical station just because it makes good background music, but it can be too soothing! Then I have to pull up something that I can sing along to.
LJ: Now for a hard hitting question. Do you prefer coffee or tea?
TS: Actually, I don’t drink either! Pepsi is my caffeine of choice.
LJ: Who is an author you wish more people new about?
TS: I have so many favorites that I don’t know if I can choose… and like the music my preferences change daily. But today I think I’m going with Melissa F. Olson – fantastic urban fantasy!
LJ: I will have to check out her books! If you could travel back in time what year would you travel to?
TS: I don’t think I would want to go back! When I read time-travel books I always focus on how much I would miss things like modern plumbing and my smartphone. I would jump ahead and see what cool things are on the way.
LJ: What is one thing you want people to know about you?
TS: I work at home and write at home and basically never leave my home – which is exactly the way I like it! I hate it when an event or meeting requires me to actually leave the house. But as much as I hate interacting with people in person, I love to interact online – so get in touch with me on Facebook or email!
