- Who is your favorite author? Why?
I find myself often returning to Ralph Waldo Emerson. There is, to
find in his work, consideration of values that include religion, the spirit, unabashed
intellect, the philosophic, a consideration of issues regarding social
responsibility, to include family matters ... I could go on... His approach,
his themes, what he chooses to consider have attracted me for some time. I would also make mention of a French
Philosopher Jacques Ellul who also considered social values regarding, for
example communication. The writing of
these fellows continue to intrigue me.
- How did you get started writing?
I took a
sabbatical from the practice of law and decided to write a novel. That quickly
turned into two novels and my interest for writing screenplays. I continue to enjoy
the process, and to be creative with a happy heart and a full mind.
- What do you find hardest about writing? What do you find easiest?
Learning how to write fiction meant
unlearning how to write like an attorney.
Moreover, I am still learning how to write
and write fiction well. By the way,
thank you for a great job editing and being such a wonderful person to work
with in the Lethal Believer’s project.
- Do you have a quote that keeps you going?
I have a number of quotes
that may provide some insight as to the ‘me’ of ‘G. Mitchell Baker’. I hope you enjoy...
“Be kind
for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.”
- Plato
“All human actions have one or
more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsion, habit, reason, passion,
and desire.”
- Aristotle (384 BC - 322 BC)
“Love of beauty is taste. The creation of
beauty is art."
-
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Sorrow makes us all children
again - destroys all difference of intellect. The wisest know nothing.”
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Books have the same enemies
as people: fire, humidity, animals, weather, and their own content.”
- Paul Valery (1871 - 1945)
“Seeing
things for what they are...” (Irish Aphorism)
“The real things haven't changed...
It
is still best to be honest & truthful;
To make the most of what we have;
To be happy with simple pleasures
and have;
Courage when things go wrong.”
-
Laura Ingalls Wilder
“It isn't what you have or who
you are or where you are or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy.
It is what you think about it.''
- Dale Carnegie
“To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most
people exist, that is all.”
- Oscar Wilde
“A
gentleman allows a lady to maintain her fiction.”
- 'Jack
Sparrow'
Pirates
of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides 2011 Johnny Depp
- Who are your biggest supporters?
Now this
is an interesting question for these more than interesting times. The Master Koda Select Publishing (MKSP) group,
led by Kim Mutch-Emerson, is really like my publishing Family. Teamwork, Encouragement,
Support, Professionalism, Respect... It is all there and more... I am very
thankful. I would also have to say that support from my Family grows with each
new release. Go figure ;-)
- What is the message you want people to get from your current work or work-in-progress?
If my
readers come away from my work with a sense of having dealt with a complex
social issue, or issues in an entertaining manner, then I guess we are
connecting on an important level. Some
write to create a distraction that attracts a readership. I overheard an author
describe one of my stories as ‘lame’. I
was interested to hear that from an author who was writing formula
romance. I like to think I am writing to
engage (i.e., not distract) and I often hope that there is a readership
attracted to my approach for creating entertainment with the purpose of
engagement and sensitization. Perhaps bringing a different, albeit and
entertaining way to look at vital matters.
- Do
your stories come more from your own experiences or from observation of
others?
Well, I can
suggest with all sincerity I have not experienced any paranormal/mythic
content. However, I sure enjoy working with the limitless subject matter.
With respect
my writing in contemporary fiction, there are certain events, perhaps
characters that inspire. For example, Kineta, or Kinny, a Border Collie that
appears in some of my work was my companion for 17 years, until August 2012.
She indeed was the inspiration for her own character and some of that written
derives from some good times.
- Anything
you would like to share with us about you and/or your writing?
There is a
lot of material written in series, and various projects are always in the
works. I would like my readers to know the well is deep and filling all the
time with strong stories and characters who will continue to take on the tough
social issues, while participating in strong stories.
