Featured Interview With C.R. Hurst
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I was raised in southern PA and lived there most of my life until my husband and I retired early and moved to the mountains of North Carolina. We have one pet, a tuxedo cat called Miss Molly that I rescued from an animal shelter years ago.
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I can’t remember the age, but I do remember the first book that I loved, A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine LEngle. I started writing when I was in college, mostly short fiction and poetry, but I didn’t publish much until after my retirement from teaching. I guess that shows we are never too old to return to an earlier passion!
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
I really don’t have a favorite author, but I do love those who write well, who develop a fluid prose style as well as craft an entertaining story. I read many genres, from classic sci-fi to memoirs to historical fiction. Again, the how is more important to me than the what. Any author who has a distinctive style I will read.
Tell us a little about your latest book?
My latest published book is the final installment of my Jane Digby’s Diary series called White Lady. The series is written as a fictional diary about Jane Digby, a 19th century English aristocrat who led a unconventional life and traveled the world in search of freedom and true love. The entire four-part series took me nearly five years to write.
