How can one small-minded, angry person destroy the lives of so many people in her path, connecting them all together in a game of destruction and heartbreak? It is possible, but what pushes a person to enjoy inflicting pain to such an extent, leaving a trail of hate, anger, and defeat behind her, which only seems to make her stronger and more satisfied. Ms. Terri Plotski, owner of the Authors’ Book Agency, is that person, who, unknowingly, with a single thread of hate, has connected the lives of a small group of people, bringing them together with one single common denominator. Anger. The anger from this small group of people is building, but it has nowhere to go, or does it? Ms. Terri Plotski, owner of Authors’ Book Agency, has gone missing.

Author Interview

If you could go back in time, where would you go?    Oh, I would love to go back to the 50’s.  I loved the music and the clothes they wore. It seemed to be such a simple time. Also, I would have loved to see Elvis Presley in concert.

What is your next project?  I have a novel that has been sitting in my computer for about three years.  I am hoping that I can get words to finish that story.  I am also hoping to write a second book of adventures for my A.R. stories. He will move in with a new family, and a whole new set of adventures.

What genre do you write and why?   I started writing just children’s stories. That is all that was coming to me for words. Then I wrote two novels.  There is no specific genre for my books. Basically, whatever I get for words, I make a story out of those words.

Favorite travel spot?    My husband and I do not travel very much. I am afraid to fly. We live in New Hampshire, and we love it there.  It is such a beautiful state, with so many places to visit.  The mountains are gorgeous in the fall when the leaves change, and we have the ocean for the summer.  The first snowfall is my favorite time of year. Also, the best lobster!  We do also enjoy visiting the beautiful state of Maine, that is right next door to us.  They have some beautiful towns on the ocean.

Favorite dessert?    Strawberry shortcake…hands down!   But it has to be made with a homemade biscuit, hot out of the oven, buttered, and then fresh strawberries that have been sitting with a little sugar sprinkled over them, and topped with whipped sweetened heavy cream.  Nothing like it.

If you were stuck on a deserted island, which 3 books would you want with you?  The first book I would want with me would be the Bible. I think if I were stuck on a deserted island, I would need all of the strength I could get.  Then I would have Fanny Flagg’s, Standing in the Rainbow.   Then Maeve Binchy’s, Quentin.
