Living With a Writer – From a Husband’s Point of View

By DiAnn Mills @DiAnnMills

Curious about what it’s like to live with a writer? This week I decided to have my husband interviewed for his perspective. I admit waiting for his answers caused my heart to head into overdrive. How honest would he be? Would I have to eliminate him in my next novel? But his answers were fun to read.

Okay, Dean, be candid and give the readers your point of view.

  3. What a cute set of questions and answers! Sounds like you fit together well! When and where did you meet? Any kids? Grandkids? Where have you visited for research?

    1. Hi Paula, we met at church in 1992. Actually, my youngest son introduced us. We have four sons, three grandkids. Research? Oh my, I’ve been to Sudan, Kenya, West Texas (that’s a funny) lots of states.
