10 Questions with...Vicki Lewis Thompson



NYT bestselling author Vicki Lewis Thompson has written over 100 books including the Nerd, Hex, and Sons of Chance series. When not writing Vicki can be spotted hanging out at Disneyland and it's not unheard of for new employees to ask her for directions. Vicki's latest book, The Perfect Man, released in September and she has two Christmas themed books set for release in November. You can find Vicki at her website and on Facebook.    

1. What is your favorite part of the writing process? 
Writing a scene that works, a scene that sings and dances and makes me want to do the same.

2. What is your least favorite part of the writing process? 
Writing to a specific word count.  I used to be able to hit the word count better in the early days of my career than I do now after more than 100 books.  What's up with that?

3. What, outside of writing, makes you happy?
Riding Grizzly River Run at Disneyland, hanging out with my family, traveling with writer friends, connecting with readers, and listening to my cat purr. 

4. What, outside of writing, do you hate to do and wish you could hire someone to do for you?
Housework, and I do hire a housecleaner!  Also jury duty and taking my car through emissions. 

5. What word do you love? 
Serendipity.

6. What word do you hate? 
Semi-automatic.

7. What is your favorite food when under deadline?
Very sharp cheddar cheese. 

8. What profession, other than yours, would you like to give one of your characters? 
Talented visual artist, which I'm doing with my current WIP.

9. What profession, other than yours, would you not have a character do?
Undertaker, which is probably not the PC way to describe that profession anymore.

10. If heaven exists, what three books would you like to find in the library there?
Huckleberry Finn, To Kill a Mockingbird, Winnie the Pooh
