Sarah Beth Durst Revealed
Q. What is your motto or maxim?
A. Be prepared. Be happy. Watch out for skunks.
Q. What is your favorite occupation, when you’re not writing?
A. Reading. Eating chocolate. Reading while eating chocolate.
Q. If you could eat only one thing for the rest of your days, what would it be?
A. Pizza. (Not such a great stretch since I eat that for almost every meal anyway.)
Q. Who is your favorite fictional villain?
A. Darth Vader. He makes an entrance, reveals important plot twists, has a softer side, and wears a cool cape. What more could you want from a villain?
Q. With whom in history do you most identify?
A. Louisa May Alcott. Okay, I don't actually know anything about her life, except that she was a writer since a young age and was from Massachusetts. (I live in NY now but was born in MA.) Also, if I'd written Little Women, I'd have tossed in a few more talking animals and not had Beth die. Maybe I'd have had Beth transform into a talking animal... Hmm, Beth as a werewolf...
