Ask An Author Week #1: Phoebe Conn/Cinnamon Burke
Question: If you were stranded on a desert island and could only have three books with which to read for five years, which three books would you take and why?
Phoebe Conn/Cinnamon Burke: The Bible, for faith. The Complete Works of Shakespeare, so I could act out the parts of all the plays, The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon, one of the best novels ever written.
I was blessed with parents who read to me, so I grew up loving to read. Taking up writing was a natural for me. I began writing one summer for fun, and have kept writing since. Books change lives, that is a marvelous gift.

Hey Phoebe!
I would love to be there to see your one woman shakespeare masterpiece!!!
I think it's great that your parents helped you find your love for reading. Do you have children? And do you try to instill the same love for reading to them?

hi and welcome Phoebe/Cinnamon. I love the name Cinnamon; I used to call our dog, Sam, Cinnamon Sam as he was an Apricot color but on the darker side.
Do you have any pets?

I definitely agree with your comments regarding books and the effect they can have on our lives. My mother also taught me the joy of reading and I shudder to think of all the crazy teenage stuff I could have got into if I didn't have my nose stuck in a book as often as I did!
Also, Cinnamon is a stinking awesome name. I would know!
My question(s): What inspired you to write the last story that you did?
