Lynnette Conkel asked Tamara Jones:

When writting your books to you have nightmares about your characters? How to do shut off the author and leave the storyline at the laptop ?

Tamara Jones No, I never have nightmares about the characters. They tend to quiet the nightmares, to be honest, not feed them.

As for the 'shutting off the author', it doesn't seem to happen much. Even if I'm not actively working on a book, I always have the current project in the front of my brain (right now it's a graphic novel titled Six Shades of Blue) and the next project (a trashy women's fiction novel, as yet untitled) simmering in the back. I can get distracted, though, but it's never gone. My family has become used to it.
