A great interview. It is always interesting to read about where authors get their ideas. Robbie has had some scary experiences which no doubt reflect in her work. No wonder she is such a great and versatile writter.

Hi Darlene, my experiences have been those of the physical world. I’ve always been a bit sad that I’ve never had a paranormal experience. I think I would get on with spirits very well but they don’t chose to reveal themselves to me.

I learned something new about you from this interview, your terrible experiences, Robbie. It would have scared me to death if someone pointed a gun at my head. Congratulations on all the pieces included in the anthology set. Congrats to you also, Kaye.

Hi Miriam, that home invasion has stayed with me in many ways and it has changed my ability to socialise with strangers, especially men, in some ways. I have found other ways to share and give to others that doesn’t make me stressed or give me flashbacks.

Robbie, I have a way to push away some unpleasant memories to reduce stress. Freudian’s defense machanism is helpful in many ways.

I am glad to know that, Miriam. I also have ways and means, but fortunately, I am also naturally a rubber ball and have always managed to bounce back from problems, even thought some have been very significant in my life.
