Books In Sync Author Spotlight Interview With Juliet Waldron Books In Sync Historical Fiction Romance Author Juliet WaldronPublishesMozart’s WifeAlong With Many Well Known Titles.
Juliet Waldron was baptized in theYellow Spring of a unique Ohio farmtown. After some years in an upstateNew York farmhouse with a residentghost, she began to travel with herAuntie Mame mother, who globetrotted on a shoestring, andflamboyantly adored history and grandopera.Returning to the States, she took aB.A., got married and raised sons,eventually working at jobs rangingfrom artist's model and waitress topower-suited Merrill Lynch “girl.”Then, she went off the deep end andbegan to write. She enjoys putting whatshe has learned about people, places and relationships into her stories. She has granddaughters now, andseveral lovely cats.*************************
What, or who, inspired you to become a writer?
My Mother, who, although not a warm and cuddlycharacter, loved to read and our house was jammed full of books of all kinds, from fiction to non-fiction.She had books on archeology, history and art and encouraged me to read them as soon as I was able, socredit to where it is due! My Grandfather was a Lit Prof who proudly wore his Phi Beta Kappa key onhis vest when he went to teach many generations of college students, among them, Rod Serling.
When did you begin writing with the intention of being published?
During the 1980’s, very early on,after seeing AMADEUS. That was when I began to work on the Mozart novels and to start research,more of a task in those days because it meant inter-library loan and hunting used book stores andsearching for copies of rare books. Because I’m sort of OCD, the research became extensive and oftencaused enormous re-writes when I discovered something new.
Did your environment or upbringing play a major role in your writing and why?
I was an onlylonely child raised in the country and read constantly for entertainment and stimulation. I early got intothe habit of having imaginary friends who stepped out of the history books to visit me. Those magicaltransports or doorways to other worlds that appear so often in fantasies and kid lit—I was always tryingto find one.

Do you come up with your title(s) before or after you write the manuscript(s)?
Never, there is aNative American label for me—I’m a mouse person, who crawls through the grass, examining carefullyit stem by stem, and who therefore has a hard time seeing the big picture.Why do you write in the genre(s) that you’ve chosen? My mother again, who simply loved readinghistory and historical fiction. I began by reading all those writers whose works are now being re-issued,such as: Jean Pilady, Margaret Campbell Barnes, Margaret Irwin, etc. I read far earlier writers too, likethe wonderfully talented Elizabeth Goudge, Elizabeth Bowen, Caroline Snedeker and GertrudeAtherton. We lived in an 18th Century house which had a resident ghost, who occasionally showed up toterrify us. (Both my parents saw it.) The past was sometimes more real to me than the present.
What has been your most rewarding experience while in the writing process?
The writing and theresearch!
What has been your most negative experience while in the writing process?
All the rest.
 
What one positive piece of advice would you give to other authors?
You’ve got to just love to do itand to keep at it. Writing is solitary and hard work, and there are rarely rewards, even for the mostdiligent servants of the Muse.
Who is your favorite author and why?
Cecelia Holland is my favorite modern historical novelist. Shedoes so much research and weaves it so skillfully into her stories that you get that Holy Grail of Historical Novels experience—Time Travel. Her protagonists aren’t all sweetness and light, either, butthey are real and true to their period.

Featured Book:Mozart's Wife – by Juliet Waldron 
Jon Baxley, Editor of Amazing Authors Showcase says it allin his review. "This author's fictionalized account of Constanze Webber--an extraordinary woman who justhappened to marry an even more extraordinary man namedMozart--brings 18th Century Vienna and its people vividlyalive. Constanze would have been a remarkable woman forany era, struggling with her own perspective on life whiletrying to cope and understand the icon composer with whomshe chose to share her life. But as an 18th Century woman,she is all the more remarkable. This book is well written andthoroughly researched, that's obvious from the details indialogue and events. I suspect little of this work is purefiction, though, given the vast availability of historicalinformation on Mozart and his contemporaries. However, theauthor melds background information with fictional materialso seamlessly, it all seems real. Despite knowing a lot aboutthe man already, I'm even more convinced now that Mozartwas one of a kind in history and so was his wife Constanze.To me, great writing is all about imagery, characterizationand dialogue. MOZART'S WIFE has all of that and more.Plus, it's a real eye opener to Mozart himself as seen by hisclosest companion. If you like historical fiction with a wealthof factual detail, this book should be on your reading list."
