Lori Lowthert has written Instrument Of Evil.
1. What is your name and where do you call
home?
My name is Lori A. Lowthert and I live
in Connecticut with my husband and our four cats. The cats think they are in
charge of the house.
2. What is the name of your most recent
book and if you had to sum it up in 20 or less words, what would you say?
Instrument of Evil is a coming-of-age
tale of a girl who grows up to be a serial killer, but she falls in love.
3. Do you have plans for a new book? Is
this book part of a series?
This book is part of a trilogy, the Evil
series. The second book, Judgment of Evil, is completed and being edited. The
third book is nearly completed. I plan to release Judgment of Evil in November
or December, and the third book in early 2012.
4. What or who inspired you to start
writing? And how long have you been writing?
I grew up loving to read for as long as
I can remember, and my love of books led me to want to write. I have been
seriously writing for six months because I had the gift of time to write, but I
have been writing things on and off for years.
Absolutely! If someone is going to
invest the time and energy into reviewing my book, I think it is completely
logical to provide them with a copy.
6. How did you come up with the cover?
Who designed the cover of your book?
I designed the cover for my first book
from a picture that I liked. Unfortunately, I didn’t know how to use the
template for the cover from CreateSpace, so the softcover has a different
cover. I hired a great graphic designer/artist to design the second and third
covers.
7. How did you come up with the title
for your book?
The title for my book comes from a line
in the book. The title for the second book seemed like a natural extension of
the first.
8. Do you have a book trailer? And what
are your thoughts on book trailers?
I do have a book trailer. It can be
found here: http://youtu.be/hMOTvc4hZ8E
It was fun to make, but I don’t think it
did anything to increase sales, which is kind of the point of them. I’m going
to try one for the second novel too.
9. Do you prefer e-books, paperbacks,
hardcovers or audiobooks?
I like any kind of book. I’m not as fond
of audiobooks because my attention wanders when I’m listening, but I have a
few.
10. Are you a self-published / Indie
author?
Yes. I went the Indie route because I
wanted to get my book out there and didn’t want to go through the process of
querying, taking time.
11. Have you ever read a book more than
once? And if so what was it?
I almost always read books more than
once. Some notable or recent ones are The Sound and the Fury (12 times), all of
the Harry Potter series (at least twice for all of them, more for some), Duma
Key by Steven King (twice)
12. What book are you reading at the
moment? And in what format?
I’m surprisingly not reading anything at
the moment. I’ve been more focused on my writing. The last 2 books I read were
Criminal Law Basics, in softcover, and The Lincoln Lawyer, in eBook format.
13. Do you have any advice for other
writers? And what’s the best advice that you have been given when it comes to writing?
Try to have a set time of day to write,
and a routine. I try to write at least 3,000 words a day. I don’t always get
there, but that’s my goal. When you are writing don’t take phone calls, and
don’t check email, and don’t mess around on Facebook and Twitter. When I follow
the last rule I’ll let you know.
The best advice I got was “Keep
writing.”
