Hi Victoria! Welcome to my crazy world! Come on in, sit down for
a spell and tell us all about you!
Ok I’m VJ Chisholm, I’m from Scotland. I was born in and bred in
my hometown of Aberdeen, I’ve just recently moved down to the Perthshire area
and I’m loving it. I’m hot footing it single and live with my wee dog Chase.
I've always wanted to visit Scotland! :D
When did you first start writing?
I use to enter drama contest when I was
younger and it was via one of those contests that I got talked into trying my
hand a poetry writing contest and that got me scribbling away.
What do you love about writing?
I love the never ending ideas I got for writing
for just basic everyday things, like people watching, songs on my iPod etc.
What do you need when writing?
I need music to help me
write- it keeps the ideas the flowing, a big mug of coffee as well as some
chocolate and for my dog to be quiet or relaxed (it this last thing – that
causes me the most issues while I’m trying to get into deep writing mode.)
How did you go about building your world and characters?
I tend to let the characters speak for themselves to
be honest. I tend to get fixed on one
aspect of them and build the rest from there. Overall any of my characters just
reveal themselves bit by bit over time to me. I keep some many notebooks on
each characters history, like, dislikes, their style etc.
Can you provide us with an excerpt? (Excerpt and book cover
:D)
Exerpt
Of course, it goes
without saying, that when you get a bunch of semi-merry witches together, and
they all go into deep problem-solving mode, well . . . Needless to say, sooner
or later, spells will enter into the mix. As always, it was one of the younger
neophyte’s that was out to impress the group by showing how useful they could
be. She bounced out the door into the old coven library to see if there were
any magickal tips, or even better yet, an actual spell that would work wonders
to fix the problem. Thirty minutes
later, the same sister returned with one of the oldest looking books, only this
one did not come from the library, but rather from Amanda’s own personal
collection. Smiling broadly, she maneuvered her way through the sisters to get
to Amanda before saying, “This may work! What do you think?” Alexia lifted her head as she was chatting
with one of the sisters sitting next to her to gauge Amanda’s reaction to
whatever spell the youngster had dumped in her lap. She’d looked up at just the
right time to see her coven leader lift her head, and look right at her with
what could only be described as a wicked smile upon her best friend’s lips.
Oooohhh, that didn’t bode well for her!
Oh that sounds great! I'm going to have to pick up a copy!
Fun time!
Do you play games? If so what kind? If not, why the heck not?
Well I own a Wii fit – does that count? LOL
Of course it counts! :D I love the Wii Fit!

If you were stranded on a deserted island and could only have 3
things with you, what or who would they be?
I would need food and water, something to write with
and a notepad

Any advice for aspiring authors?
If you have a good plot and you love it , you believe
in it ! Go for it , help out other authors where you can and make as many
contacts as you well . It will all pay off one day.
