AMANDA BANKER
Amanda is a Midwest girl who enjoys her food and wine. On any given day, and in no particular order, she is a friend, a sister, a mom, a daughter, a survivor, and a storyteller. Her work as a change strategist helps finance her little family’s love of travel; she declares her firecracker of a daughter and often-amused husband to be her touchstones. She is an avid TV-show and movie watcher who is drawn to any kind of complex story or character; she dives headfirst into the paranormal genre when crafting stories that provide both writer and reader with an avenue of escape. Writing is a journey, and Amanda is certainly enjoying the ride.
Q and A with Amanda Banker:
1. How did you come up with the concept of your story? I love writing and reading stories about brothers and brotherhood. The sunken town…one of those random ‘what ifs’ that pop into your head while you’re waiting for the light to turn green.2. How did you come up with the title? I initially wanted to call it Black Water, after the description in the story, but that was a bit too ‘Doobie Brothers’ for me, so I shifted it to Dead Water which held an eerier connotation.
3. Please provide some insight into or a secret or two about your story. The names of the characters in the town are water-related.
4. Who is your favorite author? Harper Lee (for reasons outside of my preferred writing genre). Who has most influenced your work? Stephen King, Neil Gaiman, Glenn Duncan
5. What activities best give your brain a break? How do you unwind? Write. Trite, I know in a writer's interview, but it's true. After an especially stressful day/week, I'll write an intense fight.
More fun facts:
Star Wars or Star Trek? Star Wars (though J.J. Abrams brought out the latent Trekkie in me)Hunger Games or Divergent? Hunger Games. It marked the path.
James Bond or Jack Ryan? As much as I love the wrong-place-wrong-time, CIA analyst to pieces, I’m going to have to go with Bond. James Bond. Especially with Daniel Craig shouldering the mantel.
Sherlock: Robert Downey, Jr. or Benedict Cumberbatch? Robert Downey, Jr.
Vampires or Werewolves? Werewolves
