ABOUT THE BOOK
Cam Shaw is hoping that her life will be ghost-free from now on. But that hope dies with the appearance of Mac “the Faker” Green, a wise-cracking ghost from Vegas who has followed her grandmother home. And during the opening night of Blithe Spirit, someone has sent Susan Ingram to her ghostly afterlife. What does her death have to do with the death of her mother-in-law fifty years ago? Who is trying to wipe out the Ingram family one person at a time? And when will that Vegas ghost stop sticking his nose into Cam’s business?INTERVIEW WITH TERESA WATSON
Teresa, what books do you currently have published?
Since November 2011, I have published seven books for the Lizzie Crenshaw series; one book for Charlie Bannerman; two books for the Ghost Writer series; and two box sets.
Is writing your dream job?
I would have to say yes. I’ve been writing since I was in the fifth grade.
How often do you read?
I read books like people drink coffee. If I get on a roll, I can read two or three books in one day, depending on the length.
If you could only watch one television station for a year, what would it be?
Hmm, that’s a toss up between the Animal Planet channel (I love Tanked and Treehouse Masters) or ESPN (or NFL Network, NHL channel, MLB Network . . . I have a thing for sports)
How often do you tweet?
Not as often as I should. I used to a lot when I first joined, but when I started writing more regularly, I drifted over to Facebook.
How do you feel about Facebook?
Facebook, for me, is great. My editors are on there as much as I am, and we’re able to do a lot of brainstorming, especially when I’m stuck on a particular point of a story.
What’s your favorite thing to do?
My favorite thing to do is watch a good sports game or a movie with my husband, usually here at home.
What's your favorite treat for movie night?
It varies. Since we’re usually here at the house, then I’ll make some ultimate fudge brownies or cookies.
Can I come over? What's the biggest lie you ever told?
“Yes, I really liked that book.”
Ha! What’s your favorite fast food?
Fries.
What’s your favorite beverage?
Dr Pepper.
What drives you crazy?
When I work like crazy to clean the house, and my husband trashes it in less than a day.
Where is your favorite place to visit? Springfield, Missouri . . . it’s where my mother and my son live.
What would you name your autobiography?
Queen Klutz Lives, or How I manage to maim myself without realizing it and still survive.
Would you rather be a movie star, sports star, or rock star?
Movie star.
Do you give your characters any of your bad traits?
Oh, yes. Lizzie is as big of a klutz as I am, and she drinks WAY too much Dr Pepper (although I have been cutting back lately).
Do you procrastinate?
I'm making a note to answer this one later.
What’s your favorite/most visited Internet site?
Facebook, with ESPN a close second
What’s in your refrigerator right now?
A bowl of spaghetti and a bowl of meatballs. I’m trying to decide which one I’m having for dinner.
What is your most embarrassing moment?
Well, I know most of my friends would vote for the time I tore two ligaments in my ankle trying to reach for something in the back of my car trunk.
What’s the hardest thing you’ve ever had to write?
My father’s eulogy last year (should be self-explanatory)
Yep. Who is your favorite fictional character?
Jo from Little Women. I have a lot in common with her.
How do you like your pizza?
Light sauce, double cheese, beef and ham.
What is the wallpaper on your computer’s desktop?
A snowy mountain scene.
What would you do for a Klondike bar?
Not a thing; I don’t eat them. Now a Snickers bar is a different story . . .
What is your favorite movie?
The Quiet Man, with John Wayne and Maureen O’Hara
Do you have a favorite book?
Little Women.
What are you working on now?
The next Lizzie story, Death Drives a Zamboni.
I love that title! I hope you'll come back when you're ready to talk more about it!
FROM THE AUTHOR, ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Let’s see, I’ve lived in Texas most of my life, although I’m not a native Texan. I was actually born on an Army base in Washington State. I’m a daughter, a wife, a mother, a sister, a friend to many. I have a bachelor’s degree (trust me, it’s a LONG title, you don’t want to know). I love sports, and although I live near Dallas, I root for the Redskins and the Steelers, much to the chagrin of my Cowboys-loving husband. No pets (my son is severely allergic to every kind of pet!). In my spare time, I crochet, read, play Lego games on my WiiU, and this spring, I’m going to learn how to do woodcarving!
