Today we have author Lindy S. Hudis here to share a little about who she is !
Welcome
Lindy, so great to have you here with us.
Can you tell us a little about yourself?
Well,
I am a wife and mother of two from California. My husband is a stuntman and
crashes cars and jumps off buildings for a living. Right now we have a film
production company and we are in the process of producing our first feature
film called “SkateGod” , it’s about a skateboarder is a futuristic, dystopian
world who discovers that he is a Greek God. So, we have our hands full with our
movie.
Do
real life events find their way into your stories?
Oh,
yes…that was the inspiration for “Crashers” – I was a victim of fraud, so I was
inspired to write about it. Sometimes real life is so strange that you simply
have to write about it. Also my fantasies come to life in my stories.
“Weekends” and “The S & M Club” were about fantasy. However, I did work in
a bondage club for a short while in Los Angeles, and that was the inspiration
behind “The S & M Club”.
Do you
ever mimic family members or people you know when you choose characters?
Not
anybody I like, haha…Just kidding, yes, I have been inspired by several people
in my life, some close friends and family, some strangers I see on the street.
Do you
find yourself going back to the same inspiration for each story or is it always
something different?
Always
different. I just let my life journey inspire me.
When
do you write? Early morning? During the
day sometime or all day? After the kids
go to bed?
In the
morning when the kids are at school, when it is quiet. I don’t write on Fridays
though, because that is when the gardeners come and it drives my dog crazy. Too
much noise and distraction.
How do
you feel about marketing your book?
I try
to keep a positive attitude about it. It is hard, there are so many authors out
there all trying to do the same thing. Competition is so tough, but you simply
have to keep plugging away. I believe online marketing is the best way to go.
What
social sites do you feel work best for marketing?
I like
Facbook and Twitter myself, because they seem to be the place to be, kind of
like an online nightclub. You want to hang out and been “seen” in all the right
places.
Do you
like to pitch stories to your publisher or do you wait until you have written
the story and have a final manuscript to turn in?
I like
to wait until I have a finished product, then we both have something to work
with.
Is
there any other genre that you would love to try writing? If so, what is it?
I am a
fan of just about every genre. If you have a story to tell, why put a label on
it?
Do you
always/ever see yourself as the heroine/hero when you write a story?
Perhaps
an aspect of me, a part of my complex personality, so to answer your question,
yes, I guess I do.
Just
for fun, I have a few personal questions,
Favorite
5
1) Favorite Male Actor - Leonardo DiCaprio
2) Favorite vehicle – My SUV
3) Favorite way to relax – Drinking red wine
4) Favorite ice cream – Don’t eat sugar
5) Favorite outfit – Levis and a sweater.
And
for a bonus: If you could pick any place
in the world to live, besides where you are now, where would it be? (Of course, without the hindrance of jobs or
money needed) I live in LA – where I have always wanted to live!

Weekends
Right
now my husband and I are currently producing our first feature film titled
“SkateGod”. Here is the link that was in the Daily Variety:
We are
very excited about this project, and writing is going to take a back seat to
our movie for a while. The movie is about a skateboarder in a futuristic,
Dystopian world who discovers he is the scion of a Greek god and is plunged
into a battle with a clandestine society hellbent on overtaking humankind.
