EQ Welcomes Pamela Labud
EQ: Welcome to EQ!
Tell us a little bit about yourself!
Pamela: Hi! I’ve been a huge reader since I was a kid
back when there were only three TV channels and kids programming was only on
Saturday morning. Reading fast became my
refuge and later, dreaming about stories I would write later on. I started out reading the Gothic romances my
mother gave me, then science fiction and fantasy. Later, when I was grown with my own young
children, I fell in love with the romance genre.
EQ: Tell us a little
bit about your most recent release.
Pamela: Grave Danger
is the first book in my Blue Star Baby Trilogy.
Essentially the first book in a ‘post apocalyptic zombie killing love
story.’ Nineteen years old, Maverick
Dunne was one of a select group of babies born under a radioactive ‘blue’ star
in the midst of a nuclear winter. A
‘re-animator’ she is able to bring all sorts of nasty dead things back to
life. She is kidnapped by her ex-boyfriend,
mutant destroyer, Daniel Wolfe. Together
they travel to the site of the first nuclear blasts to stop the development of
virus created zombie soldiers.
EQ: What has been
the most exquisite moment of your life?
Pamela: I’m so
blessed. Actually, I’ve had three. The moment I realized my husband and I were
in love, and at each moment my daughters were born.
EQ: What was your
defining moment as a writer?
Pamela: The day I
got the calls for my book Spirited Away by the RITA coordinator—I’d finaled in
2 categories: Best First Book and Best Paranormal.
EQ: Pick out one of
the best lines in your novel. What do you love about it?
Pamela: “Two knives,
a long sword at his side, and an ion blaster hanging low on his hip—the
evidence was clear and my throat dried up to dust—the love of my life was a
killer.”
EQ: What are your
top three guilty pleasures?
Pamela: Dark
chocolate
Playing solitaire
when I should be writing
Benedict Cumberbatch
as BBC’s Sherlock (totally)
EQ: Which of your
characters do you connect with the most and why?
Pamela: In Grave
Danger, Maverick Dunne is totally me (if I were nineteen again, could bring
stuff back to live and be a kickass heroine!)
She’s had a rough life but compassion still thrives in her. (As a nurse for many years I have to say,
compassion is the one thing that has guided me and I’m so thankful for it.)
EQ: What kinds of
male characters do you prefer to write?
Pamela: Broken. I like guys that need the heroine to save/heal
them. A combination of Alpha when they
need to be and Beta when the heroine needs them to be, too. Stubborn to a point, but forgiving when they
need to be. Oh and hot. Totally hot.

Pam, Welcome to EQ! Thanks for letting us host your interview.
Thank you for having me!
Great interview. Always nice to learn new things about my favorite authors, who also happen to be writer buddies and friends. Happy Writing!
Aww! Thanks so much for stopping by!
Hi Pamela, love your interview. There were so many things that made me chuckle - favorite line. I'd never heard of Benedict Cumberbatch before but your mention was the 2nd one in 2 days. I'll have to google him.
Thanks for stopping by, Jane! I hadn't heard of him, either, but my daughter was crazy about BBC's Sherlock. Great show and awesome actor.
I enjoyed your interview Pamela. I'm big fan of Benedict Cumberbatch's Sherlock too. :)
Thanks so much! I do enjoy the show. It's perfect except for the short seasons and long wait between new episodes. But, well worth the wait. I also enjoy Martin Freeman. He's been in a lot of stuff lately. I've long loved Lord of the Rings, and the Hobbit. It's so great to see them on the big screen, too.
