Last fall, I did an interview with an up-and-coming suspense author named Mike Dellosso. At the time, he was waiting with bated (yes, that’s how it’s spelled) - bated breath to hear whether his novel, The Hunted, was going to be released by Realms. Shortly after that, I was able to congratulate him on a contract successfully negotiated.
In that correspondence, Mike really humanized the later parts of the writing process for me - I mean, I know the part about putting words together nicely. But then there’s the selling part and the public self-presentation part and all that stuff. It finally clicked into my reality that all writers, editors and company managers are just people. I like people. I prefer people who say hi to me first, which Mike did on ShoutLife. But I especially like people who write things that drag me right into the story, which is what Mike’s first chapter did. That was why I interviewed him. He wrote something cool.
When I started hanging around here again this spring, Gina Conroy submitted a post about the Writer…Interrupted community. And she mentioned that Mike Dellosso had been diagnosed with cancer.

I spent one decade submerged into a subculture which I didn’t even realize existed at the time.

Awhile back, I had an interesting talk with a friend regarding the idea of where we place our Christian boundaries. He works in the music industry and of course, has a vested interest in music and the thought that surrounds it. He asked a stimulating question: have we misplaced our “boundaries” when it comes to the entertainment “filters” that we use?

Molly: I would love to really visit Canada someday. Do you live in Alberta maybe or near there?
Cat: I live about a day’s drive from Alberta, and there’s another province between here and there. Niagara Falls is twice as far the other direction. But we have real cowboys here in Manitoba too. Did growing up country-style have any positive influences on your development as a writer? Any negative ones?

Molly Noble Bull with Cathi-Lyn Dyck
I went looking for stuff to drag home last week, and got into a conversation with author Molly Noble Bull. She just won a pretty cool award for her historical fiction book, Sanctuary. However, I’m from Canada, which prompted some questions in return.
Cat: Hi, Molly, and welcome to Humble O. Tell me the weirdest opinion you’ve heard out there lately. :~)
