Meet debut author, Jenny Moss. A few months ago, I had the opportunity to read her historical novel, Winnie’s War set during the Spanish Flu epidemic of 1918. The pages turned themselves as I delved into Winnie’s life as it was turned upside down when the Spanish Flu found her hometown in Texas. There are many subplots, and a lot of action, and yet the characters are lovingly drawn, and the story is poignant through and through.
JENNY MOSS is a former NASA engineer. She earned a master's degree in literature and taught writing as an adjunct at University of Houston-Clear Lake. Winnie's War is her first novel. She lives with her two teenagers in Houston, Texas.
She took some time out of her busy life to answer a few questions.
If you could visit any place and time (past/present/future) for a week, where and when would it be?
1920s Paris.
Nice choice! Do you play music when you write? Have a cup of Chai at your elbow? A cat on your lap?
I don't play music when I write. But I do think about my characters when I listen to certain songs.
Do you ever experience writer's block? What do you to knock yourself out of it If not, what's your secret?
Not much until last spring and summer. I'm not sure I have a secret. I just kept writing and tried not to get too frustrated.
Thank you for stopping by, Jenny!
Thank you!
