or the final book in the series called Crazy , Sexy , Revenge . His appearance was brief , but it was poignant enough for me to want to see more of him and a more involved role .
Shannan Harper : You ’ ve written anthologies with several authors including Victor McGlothin , Sandra Kitt , Jacqueline Thomas , Reshonda Tate Billingsley , Bernice McFadden , Brian W . Smith and Pamela Samuels Young . Is there someone you would like to write with in the future ?
J . D . Mason : I don ’ t think I ’ ll ever do any more collaborative efforts because they ’ re so challenging and I tend to do better working alone . But I guess , if I could write with anyone , I ’ d choose Eric Jerome Dickey . He ’ s brilliant and I love his style . That ’ s more of a fantasy than anything remotely resembling reality , though .
Keshia La ’ Shawn : What do you like to do when you ’ re not writing ?
J . D . Mason : I love traveling , although , I tend to write while I ’ m traveling . LOL . I ’ ve recently invested in a DSLR camera , so I ’ m looking forward to starting a serious photography hobby . Maybe I ’ ll get good enough to put together a coffee table book . I ’ ve recently gotten back into yoga , which I absolutely love . But in the last 2-3 years , it seems that writing consumed just about all of my free time , and now that I have completed all of my writing projects , It ’ s strange having so much time on my hands .
Shannan Harper : Abby Rhodes is a minor character in The Real Mrs . Price , but her story will be releasing soon . Can you tell us a little about it ?
J . D . Mason : Yes ! I absolutely love Abby Rhodes . I can tell you that she is about to meet someone very special , who will change her life forever . She ’ s funny , extremely country , and intelligent . I ’ m bringing back another character that I loved , who was actually supposed to die in a previous series , but again — I fell in love with him , and so he ’ s back , like Plato . For this male character , I wanted to introduce him to someone unlike anyone he ’ d ever encountered before and I came up with Abby . It ’ s such a lovely love story that runs in parallel to a really interesting ghost story .
B LaShera Glaze Stone : How do you find time to write ? I find it hard to just have the time while balancing family and work .
