Q&A:
You used to write with the pen name C.V. Madison. How did you get that name?
My given name was taken by an established Science Fiction author, so I used my first and last initial and the last name of my dear friend Krystel Madison. She urged me to get back into writing after I’d given it up for several years. She was my first critique partner and a huge support when I got my feet back under me again. Later I simply added my maiden name and viola!
If you couldn't be a writer, what would your dream profession be?
I have three passions in life: writing, coffee and massage therapy. I already work in my ideal profession. I am a licensed massage therapist and I love every minute of what I do. I spent three years working in a coffee house while I went to school for massage. I miss getting to the coffee house before everyone showed up and brewing all the coffee for the day. I miss pulling shots of espresso and making latte art. Writing has been a passion for years and I don’t look to give it up any time soon.
What is the most difficult thing for you to write?
I have a difficult time writing sex scenes, as silly as that sounds. It takes a lot of effort and extra help from crit partners and editors to get the scene just right. Heterosexual scenes are more difficult than gay or lesbian scenes.
How much research do you do for the things you write?
It depends on the subject. If it were about the three things I know well, I wouldn't need to research. For the things I don’t know well, I do research. A steampunk story I wrote involved a character working on a steam engine. I know nothing about steam engines, so I employed Google-fu and asked questions of people on Twitter.
What is your favorite genre to write?
I like to write M/M fiction and urban fantasy. I would also like to write young adult.
What are your hobbies?
I collect ball joint dolls. My first doll was a Resinsoul Pixiu and was to be the base to mod for a demon version of my character Baby. My second doll was a Resinsoul Gang. I’ve made him into my character Makiros. I am also into cosplay. I’ve done Blood Seras Victoria from Hellsing, Reno and Lucrecia from Final Fantasy VII and Riku from Kingdom Hearts. I also have a World of Warcraft habit. It’s more a hobby than just a game. I've also gotten into Decora.
