Author Interview: Pamela Labud



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.  (wink!)
