    Coffee with Deb Kastner!

    December 3, 2018 in coffee with paula marie

    Hope you all had a great weekend! Today we have Deb Kastner sitting down for coffee with us, please join us!

    PM: Good morning, Deb! Thank you for taking the time to let our readers get to know you a little better! I’ll start off with a ‘softball’ question for you – lol –What’s your favorite color? Any reason why?

    DK: Purple. Because…PURPLE!

    PM: Have you always known you had the writing bug (and ability)?

    DK: Yes. When I was in second grade I was asked to write a one-page story. Mine was twelve pages and the teacher read it out loud. By the time I was in high school I was making up “dream dates” for all my friends…romance author, here I come.

    PM: What is one thing about you that your readers would be shocked to know?

    DK: When I get stressed I play Pokemon Go on my phone. It drives my hubby batty.

    PM: If you could have dinner with anyone from history, who would it be, and why?

    DK: We’d all say Jesus, wouldn’t we? I think I would love to have dinner with the Holy Family, where I could not only hang out with our Savior, but meet His Blessed Mother and foster father.

    PM: I poked around your website and see you live in Colorado. I have never been, but my aunt has lived there for many years and absolutely loves it! What would be the one thing you would tell a first-time visitor they had to see in your state?

    DK: I would take them on a trail ride in the Rocky Mountains. There is no better way to absorb the beauty than on the back of a horse.

    PM: Who was your greatest influence when you decided to become an author?

    DK: My tenth grade English teacher Mr. Starkey. When we had our first creative writing assignment, my best friend got a B and mean ol’ Mr. Starkey gave me a C. I know it sounds like pride, and I guess in a way it was, but I knew I was a writer and my friend excelled in math. I spent the whole night crying angry, frustrated tears. My mom, being the awesome woman she is, told me to get over it and go talk to Mr. Starkey. I did. He said he gave me a C because he knew I was a good writer and could do much better than I’d done–and you know what? He was RIGHT. Needless to say, I worked hard in his class and got straight A’s after that. My friend ended up with a solid B.

    PM: Tell us what you enjoy doing the most when you are not writing or reading?

    DK: This isn’t going to come as a surprise to anyone who has known me for any length of time, but my favorite go-to is to take a long weekend to visit with my good friends The Texas Tenors and see as many of their shows as I can within that time period. I never, ever get tired of hearing them sing. My stress reliever and muse, all in one.

    PM: What was your favorite subject in school?

    DK: English. Creative writing. Shocker!

    PM: How can readers keep up with you and your new releases?

    DK: Please sign up for my newsletter here: http://bit.ly/debkastnernews

    I’m also on Facebook and Twitter.

    PM: Finally, coffee or tea? Cream, sugar?

    DK: Yes and Yes. I drink black coffee all day. I’m a goner without it. At night I switch to peppermint tea.

      As always Paula, a really good interview.
      Deb, it’s always great to learn some things about authors I love to follow and read their books.
      You sound like a really fun person to be around. If I weren’t so old, I would love to go up to Colorado and go on a trail ride into Rocky
      Mountains. We spent our honeymoon touring Colorado. What area do you live in?
      Exactly what kind of romance books do you write? My guess would be western. lol The 🤠 cowboy hat! 😉
      Thank you and my friend Paula, for a fun article.
      Blessings
      Kathy

        Hi Kathy! We live in northern Colorado about an hour north of Denver where we can enjoy looking at the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains. I do, indeed, write contemporary westerns. I love cowboys because they’re so rugged on the outside but are honorable men with a heart of gold.
