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.
