mystery series via the internet. While many fans who attend mystery conventions
have now chatted with both halves of Evelyn David, Marian and Rhonda have yet
to meet in person.
Let’s get to know Evelyn David.
Patricia:
What
are your favorite things to do when you’re not reading or writing?
Rhonda:
I love watching dramas on television and working in my flower gardens in the
spring/summer.
Marian:
I love to cook. When I'm not figuring out novel ways to create murder and
mayhem, I'm scanning food blogs.
Patricia:
What’s
your favorite color? Why?
Rhonda:
Blue. It's the color of water and I've always loved swimming and being out on
the lake. It makes me feel happy.
Marian:
I also love the color blue. I find it soothing, but I definitely went through
an "orange" period in my life.
Patricia:
How
would you describe yourself, personality wise?
Rhonda:
I'm a Type-A personality with a sense of humor. I'm not really a
"people" person. I enjoy time alone with my books, movies, and
computer - and dislike crowds and noise.
Marian:
I think I have a split personality. I enjoy being around people and hearing
their "stories," but then I definitely need quiet and solitude.
Patricia:
Do
you like to travel? If so, what are some of your favorite places to go and/or
what was your favorite vacation?
Rhonda:
I love to travel, but I don't like doing formal tours. I love to just spend a
week at the beach sitting in a lounger and reading. My favorite vacation to
date was spent in Nags Head, North Carolina, exploring the Outer Banks.
Marian:
I always like traveling in retrospect. When I'm in the midst of it, I miss my
home, my familiar surroundings. But when I think back, I've had a wonderful
time. I loved visiting England
and Scotland, adored Prince Edward Island in Canada
(they have the best regional tea manufacturer), and would love to go back to Napa.
Patricia:
How
would you complete this sentence? If I won a million dollars, I would ------
Rhonda:
Pay all my bills and then buy a small house on a lake. Of course a million
dollars doesn't go as far any more so I'd still have to work – and write
mysteries.
Marian:
Besides donating some to charity, giving
some to my kids, I'd love to have extra dollars to go to the theater whenever I
want.
