I am very pleased to see other writers not as competition, but as friends. Some of them I've had the privilege of meeting person-to-person. Lori Soard is one of those people.
It all started when she came into my work. I was checking out her books, and I made mention of the fact that I am a writer. Lori told me that she is a writer as well, which really piqued my curiosity. She then handed me her business card, which I have kept for the last, few years.
Some time had elapsed, and I found Lori's card around the same time I started corresponding with another author friend of mine, Morgan Richter. I did not waste much time in contacting them both, telling them how much their work has interested me.
Nearly five years later, Lori has interviewed me for her site:
