interview with dorothy guyton

1.What is the name of your latest book/ genre?
My latest book is’ The Captive’s Crown’ and it is Christian erotic fantasy.

2.When did you start your writing career?
In 1979, with poetry.

3.Did you have support from family, friends or community?
 I  am a member of Emmanuel Baptist Church, Thamesmead, Association of Christian Writers, Society of Authors, Alli and other groups on Facebook and twitter and God has used these immensely to bless me through advice, reviews, seminars, beta readers, book launch and helping to edit etc.

4.What is most difficult about an author’s life?
 Marketing the books.Do you create female stereotypes?Yes in some of my books, depending on the era and culture the story is set in.

5.As a woman, do you feel an obligation to write on women’s issues [in some form]?Unconsciously, perhaps. Some of my books are women fiction covering career, freedom, inclusion, marriage and love.

6.Do you try to be politically correct or stay away from politics or controversial  topics in your plot?
No. I write as inspired. My latest book talks about prostitution, gay sexuality and even though it is a Christian fantasy fiction, it is a strictly adult read due to the adult content in the plot. 

7. What makes a woman a success? 
When she sees herself first as successful in her thoughts as a daughter of the most High God and reflecting this in the way she portrays herself, confidently achieves the desires of her heart and is a blessing to others.
