WDBC: How long have you been a Book Club member?
I’ve been a member of the Writer’s Digest Book Club for several years. I can always find what I need there.
Tell us a bit about your writing. What genre do you like to work in?
My true love is writing suspense/thrillers. There’s something about the chase that totally involves me in the entire process of writing the story. Character driven stories are especially important to me. I tend to get into my characters skin, if you will, so that I can let them evolve throughout the whole story.
Why do you use the pen name Tamara Delancre?
I’m asked that all the time. Tamara is my birth name, and Delancre is my father’s birth name. As I grew in my writing, I promised my father I would use this name as the signature for the particular series I was working on. He was so proud of me. How could I not use it? My father and I had a special bond. He passed away in 2001 and my first book, Demon Passing: The Legacy, written under my pen name was published in 2005. My new suspense/thriller, Without A Doubt, will be written under my own name as will its sequel, Bad Things.
Anything else you’d like to add?
I love blogging. Not only do I have a blog page set up on my Web site but I also can be found haunting the halls of blogspot. It’s therapeutic. Blogs let us discuss issues we would not otherwise address unless we were journalist.
