QUESTIONS FORM DOROTHY[ TWITTER] 2022

​

1.What is the name of your book/genre/ brand? Christian fantasy fiction.

 2.When did you start your writing career? In 1979, when I started writing poetry as an undergraduate.
 
 3.Did you have support from family/friends/community? Yes. I have always had support from family and friends by way of encouragement, proofreading, supporting with their suggestions, writing reviews and helping me out with book launches. The community too has been  very supportive as my church community bought some of my books and many dropped reviews on Goodreads as well. Recently too, Peabody featured me in the Directory book for our local community in Thamesmead. I am on page 67!

 4.What is most difficult about an author’s life? For me, it is about getting enough reviews  on my books and marketing them.

  5. As a woman do you feel an obligation to write on women’s issues (in some form)? No obligation but some of my books  have heroines as the protagonist.  

6. Do you create stereotypical female characters i.e., weak, need to be saved? No but depending on the genre or era of the story, for instance,  some of the women characters exhibit subservient qualities .

7. Do you try to be politically correct or stay away from politics/controversial current event as plots?  I’m not by nature interested in politics and controversial issues in my prose but in my poetry, I have poems touching on racism, inequality and the consequences of  bad  leadership and governing of people.

 8.What makes a woman a success? When she can stand on her own , achieve, enjoy economical status and produce  a successful generation as a legacy.
 
Thank you very much.
