Today we welcome D.F.Krieger to Storyteller's Grove. When D. F.
Krieger was banned from writing contests at her school, she immediately set it
in her head that she would become a professional writer. Since then, she has
thrown away her plans of world domination through books, but she still enjoys
writing. Her tastes run from classy urban witches to dragons, space pirates to
shape shifters. By the time she pens her final book with a hand ravaged by age,
she hopes to introduce her readers to many alternate worlds, lines of thinking,
and captivating characters.
You can
find D. F. on the East Coast, hiding away from the real world with a gleam in
her eye and a plot in her head. She resides with her husband, kids, and pets;
who all kindly put up with her random bouts of laughter (over things she can't
explain) and journal collecting fetish.
Storyteller's Grove: Thank you for coming, D.F. I have put together a few questions that I hope will let your fans, old and about-to-become, know a bit about what makes you tick.
D.F.Krieger: Fire away!
SG: What’s your sign? How do you think
it affects your writing?
DK: I'm an Aquarius. Y'know, the crazy
ones of the zodiac. I truly believe that my "outside the box"
thinking allows me to come up with stories and ideas that are completely
unique, fun, and probably certifiable.
SG: What do you love about writing? Hate?
DK: I love being able to create my own
worlds and realities. I love putting them in a form that I can share with other
people. What I hate is writing a synopsis. Who the hell came up with this form
of torture, anyway? I swear, some evil gods sat around chilling and drinking
and one was like, "You know what would be funny? Forcing writers to figure
out how to convey the basics of their book in a catching way that spans only
one or two pages. If they can't, it's a sin in the writing world. Hey, we
should call it a Sin-nopsys." And the rest were like, "Totally! Make
it a standard practice that if they want to get published, they MUST write
one!" Curse you, evil gods, and well played.
SG: Are you more of a hunter or a gather?
DK: Neither. I'm that clever scavenger that
lets others do the work, then steals everything under their noses. Okay, so
really what would happen is I'd trip, make a lot of noise, and run like hell
screaming bloody murder as the hunters chased me, but we're talking how I see
myself, right?
SG: If you could throw a parade, what kind would
it be?
DK: Oh, oh. Horse parade. Lots of horses
and riders, dressed up in themes. Knight in shining armor, fairy princess with
unicorn, witch riding a horse with bones painted on. One big kick ass horse
dress up parade.
SG: Do you believe in Bigfoot?
DK: And vampires, hellhounds, ghosts. All
that jazz. If I'm wrong, eh. At least I'm living life with a thrill in every
shadow.
SG: If you were 80 years old, what would you tell
your children?
DK: Be amazed! I've officially lived
longer than anyone else on my mother's side of the family. I'm declaring myself
old enough to go to war with life. Be prepared for fallout, posting bail, and
many tales to tell of Crazy D Krieger!
SG: If there was a movie produced about your life,
who would play you, and why?
DK: Sandra Bullock. Her personality and
movie roles often reflect various aspects of my life already. Practical Magic
really hit home in more ways than one. Not to mention I've been told we kinda
sorta look alike. So yeah, she already has me down pat...she just doesn't know
it yet. ;)
Again, thank you for coming and your interesting answers.
Please check out D.F. Krieger's latest novel, Panthers and Precincts
Meet Zeara—zoologist, crime solver, and crazy
cat lady. Throw a literate panther and a sexy detective into the mix and watch
the trouble ensue.
People didn’t just happen to “drop by for a visit” at midnight. Whoever
was on the other side of that door either had a good reason, one that she
probably didn’t want to hear, or would wish they had once she finished tearing
them apart.
Dr. Zeara Faxfire and her side-kick cat, Magic, are on the case when a
panther is discovered during a police investigation of a missing boy. The fact
the panther can write is only slightly scarier than Zeara's attraction to
Detective Markovich. Add a little magic, some mayhem, and scientific proof of
the paranormal, and she ends up knee-deep in trouble. Can she find the missing
boy, solve the riddle of the panther, and face her own past before time runs
out? Or will the only way to give everyone a happy ending come at the expense
of the job she loves?\
