Anne Da Vigo visited Gold Country Writers to tell us how she writes her prize-winning thrillers. I looked around the room at the relaxed, attentive audience and realized there was something special about Anne—besides her gift for writing. I wish I could captivate an audience like this, I thought. She has so much charisma. I wanted to learn from her—and I wanted to experience the calming yet stimulating effect of her presence again. So, here she is on Bright Ideas. “It’s true,” Anne admitted, “promoting a book requires a whole different skill than writing. I do go over what I’m going to say the night before; but once there, I just enjoy the people. People ask such interesting questions—they get me thinking. I guess you could say when I bond with my friends—new and old—I easily get as much as I give.”
Hey! That’s just how I feel about writing Bright Ideas. Maybe I also have charisma. Maybe, in your own way, you have charisma, too!
I’ll have to check that book out.
I know writers who dislike book signings or talking to a group about their books!
Your attitude and interest in other people is a great gift and a PR GODSEND,
Yes, Wendy, to be a writer, which is so solitary, and yet to love sharing with people, is part of what makes Anne so special.
I would love to meet her and also read one of her books. Is Night Flight readily available?
Yes, Ruth, her book is available on Amazon. Anne would really encourage reviews from those who read her books–reviews are like gold to authors. Thank you for your comment.
I love that. Connecting with people in a caring way.
Anne makes it look so easy!
