INTERVIEW WITH WILLIAM R. LEIBOWITZ
William, what's your favorite thing about the writing process?
The opportunity to create characters that take on lives of their own in the minds of readers.
Do you write every day?
No, but when I’m not writing I’m often thinking about the plot and where it should go.
What do you think is hardest aspect of writing a book?
Keeping the reader wanting to turn the pages—to read “just one more chapter.”
Do you have any marketing tips you could pass on to indie authors?
I think virtual book tours are worthwhile. I found out the hard way that Google Ad Words have a very low conversion rate from clicks to book purchases.
How do you feel about Facebook?
I think it is a good way to spread the word.
Would you make a good character in a book?
Probably too good. That worries me.
What do you love about where you live?
I live in a small seaside town. The beach is gorgeous.
I'm jealous. What’s your favorite fast food?
Pizza for sure.
What’s your favorite beverage?
After 8 pm –Bombay Gin.
Where is your favorite place to visit?
Gloucester, Massachusetts.
Do you give your characters any of your bad traits?
Yes – the protagonist in my novel, Miracle Man, has all of my bad traits. Fortunately for him, he has many good traits that I don’t have.
What would your main character say about you?
I think we would get along famously although he’s far more intelligent than I am.
Who is your favorite fictional character?
James Bond.
If you had a talk show who would your dream guest be?
Ian Fleming.
What’s one thing that very few people know about you?
I’m a terrific ping-pong player.
How do you like your pizza?
Pepperoni, thin crisp crust.
What are your favorite foods?
Grilled lamp chops; any kind of cheese; virtually anything that is fried; and Italian food generally.
What do others say about your driving?
There is unanimous agreement that I’m a terrible driver.
What are you working on now?
The sequel to Miracle Man. The saga of Dr. Robert James Austin continues.
