Featured Interview With Elaine Broun
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I was born in Brazil and have lived multiple times in several South American countries. I speak several languages, I love to read, travel, history, walking through antique shops and sewing crafts. I presently live in Texas with my husband of 42 years and our two 16 year old dogs, Dug and Luke. I have four grown children, two bonus daughters, two bonus sons and five grandchildren.
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I remember when we arrived in the USA after fleeing the terrorists which I covered in my first novel, there was a mobile Library that set up monthly in a parking lot near my home. It was there that I began checking books out and being mesmerized by stories. When I was in third grade was when I discovered the Little House on the Prairie books that made me discover in turn the love of autobiographies. It sated my natural curiosity to understand where someone came from, what were their hurdles in life, what made them tick, what gave them their greatest joy or sadness. This is also where I became obsessed with geneaology.
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
I love to read books by Diana Gabaldon, Kathleen Woodwiss, Liv Constantine, or Gillian Flynn. There are so many and I must admit I am horrible about keeping track of what I have read or who I enjoy to read books by, I guess it is due to always being busy. I do however, enjoy reading suspense novels naturally and also historical books and historically based romance novels. My writing inspiration comes from my own fertile imagination and through my life experiences from my constant travels in my lifetime.
