Eleanor: This is a question I'm asking several writers (some friends, some strangers)... Do you think you're more vulnerable in your writing or in your personal life? What obstacles to vulnerability are there for you in either of those areas? And why do you think you're able to be more open in one area than in the other?
Eleanor Kuhns
I had to think about this for a little while so good question. I think I am more vulnerable in my writing. There are no filters between my inner life and the written page. Many of the emotional experiences my characters live are drawn from events in my own life that have bothered me. Plus, my writing is like my baby except, since it is drawn from my mind, I don't see my writing as other. It is all me.
In my personal life, even with my nearest and dearest, they are still other - individuals in their own right, so I am not quite so sensitive.

The thing I love most about the giveaway section is that it opens me up to new authors and books that may not have been otherwise. From the first paragraph I was drawn into the story. I have my fingers crossed for the giveaway. Will you be continuing the series with a 5th book?
