Tuesdays
with Taryn
Wynn Mercere
City of the Gods: Forgotten
What
book(s) most influenced you as a writer? The classics, definitely. Alice in Wonderland, collections of fables
and myths, and a heavy dose of adventure a la Kipling and Stevenson.
What
book do you read over and over again? Huckleberry
Finn by Mark Twain. Sometimes the adventurous plot stands out, other times
the social commentary. It also satisfies my reader itch for books set in the
1800s.
Tuesday Trio-
1)
Movie
– “You Can’t Take It With You” (1938) A wonderful farce that pits the
military-industrial-banking complex against the “uncommon” man is as relevant
today as when it was written. However, its most appealing theme is that of
encouraging people to follow their dreams.
2) Music – I don’t have a specific title,
but my favorites are violin-centric. Whether it’s a Chopin etude or a bluegrass
classic, I love it!
3) Decadent Dessert – Baklava! The way the
honey permeates the crispy layers of the pastry gives me something no other
dessert can.
What’s
the most interesting or bizarre bit of trivia you’ve learned from researching
for a novel? I learned how an 1870s printing press works. It’s amazing what
one can find on YouTube!
Novel on your Nightstand:
Who/what
are you currently reading? I am reading Marching
Through Culpeper by Virginia Beard Morton. It’s very popular, even has a
stage adaptation. I cut my teeth as a young reader on historical romance, so a
book like this one is an easy read.

Nicely said Wynn. I certainly didn't know what your favorite movies were, or what you are reading, so even I learned something. Just so you all know I consider myself very lucky to be working with her. We have a great writing partnership, which is unusual for novelists.
