She (Missy Michaels) was inspired by a 4 year old neighbor who already knew how to read and she didn't know yet. She learned how to read and started reading everything in sight. Books, cereal box panels while she ate breakfast, the ingredients list on lotion bottles and everywhere else she saw words. She's observant and has a wonderful imagination and is starting work on her second novel!

TradeMark Remark:
If
Missy was on a camping trip, what would be her role? COOK
(I am hoping that since she likes barbecue she can make it).
This is me trying a new interview
style of questions involving numbers. Missy Michaels was a good sport and
played along.
What is the #1 reason you are a
writer?
The number
one reason that I’m a writer is that I’m fascinated with the way the right word
can evoke a specific feeling.
Who are 2 authors who have inspired
you?
Two authors
who inspire me with their style of writing are Ann Leary and Elizabeth Berg.
What are 3 reasons readers should
read your book?
One reason
is because it introduces brand new characters to the reader. The second is
because it introduces me, Missy Michaels, to the reader. The third reason is
because To the Swift tells the story
of a marriage that is in trouble, a friendship that is so completely twisted
and of a secret obsession.
If you had 4 hours to spend with any
character, who would you spend it with, and what would you do?
I would
spend the four hours with Victor Newman on Young and the Restless in Genoa City, WI (fictional town) and we would have
breakfast at Gloworm and lunch at his mansion and he would give me a tour of
Newman Enterprises and the new restaurant On the Boulevard and of Adam’s
penthouse.
What are the Fab 5 things
authors/writers should have?
1. An
active imagination.
2. An eye
for detail.
3.
Curiosity about human behavior.
4. A
dictionary.
5. A love
of reading.
What are you usually doing at 6 am?
Dreaming
usually, if I’m up at 6 am I’m probably not that happy about
it.
If you had 7 seconds to describe
your book to someone, what would you say?
It’s an intriguing story with fascinating
characters waiting for you. Go see.
If you could travel anywhere or
anytime (time travel), and spend 8 hours there, where or when would you go?
Why? What would you do?
I would use
the time travel option. I would travel to my parents first day as a married
couple. I would go to Fort Hood, TX Army Base. I would be invisible so that I could just
observe the young couple at the very beginning of their marriage before the
birth of me and my younger brother and sister. It would be so fascinating to
see the very beginning of their journey that continues to this every day.
