When he heard I was doing a series of kid interviews, he was right there, panting, if you will, to be a part of it. So, Lindsay asked the questions, and knowing Dakota like she does, translated the answers to me. Please enjoy the question-and-answer ramblings of my favorite collie's mind.
THE KID’S INTERVIEW
Dakota, age 4, interviews his author mom, Lindsay
Q.
Can you name all your Mom’s books?
Dakota: Yes. Emily Dahill, CID Part 1, A
Dog Gone Christmas, A Body in the Attic, Emily Dahill, CID Part 2 and A Collie
Rescue.
Q. Which is your favorite and why?
Dakota: It’s really hard to say which is my
favorite as each book has some great scenes in them. Thinking about it though
I’d really have to say A Collie Rescue is far and above the best. This book
features a homeless vet and the heroine and her struggle to live day to day.
Q.
When does your Mom write? Where in the house? Describe her writing area.
Dakota: She writes in both the afternoon
and evening. She’s got a desk near the living room so she can watch TV while
writing. Her writing area, a total mess. Papers all over the desk and behind
her is a white board where she writes notes about one or more of her WIP’s.
Q.
What are you doing when Mom is writing?
Dakota: I usually sleep.
Q.
If Mom got rich and famous, what would you want
her to do with the money?
Dakota: Let’s wait and see when that
happens because what I’d want now I might not want when she is.
Q.
Do you read your Mom’s books?
Dakota: I don’t know how to read
Q. Do you think you do better in school because Mom
is a writer?
Dakota: I don’t go to school
Q.
Do your friends know what your Mom writes? Do you tell them?
Dakota: Well my half-bro, Sparkie the cat,
does but that’s about it.
Q.
Do you want to be a writer when you grow
up? If not, what do you want to be.
Dakota: No, I’m happy being a collie thank
you.
Q .
If you could dedicate a book to your Mom, what
would you say?
Dakota: To the world’s best Mom.
