Height: Somewhere around five-three
Faith Hunter
Weight: Shame on you for asking!
Eyes: Sort of a grayish-hazel.
Favorite color: Blue. No, purple. When traveling I wear a lot of black because it mixes with everything.
Age: Old enough to know better, young enough to still act 10 feet tall and bullet proof. And regret it later.
Vehicle: I drive an SUV. I like to be able to haul things around.
Pets: My Pomeranians have passed away. After too many furred-friend-losses, the Hubs and I are currently dogless.
Marital status: Permanently attached to my Renaissance Man (Hubby).
Clothing style: It used to be sort of Bohemian gypsy-queen belly dancer meets Biker Chick. I still like lots of soft shimmery fabrics. Skirts and Lucchese boots, sandals in summer to show off red toenails. Wetsuit or shorts with all the proper PPEs for kayaking. Jeans and tees on my day off. And lots of jewelry that I make myself.
Jewelry: Lots! I love natural things, like stone beads and shells, and I love copper beads and trinkets. I often give away stones at my signings.
Hobbies: Whitewater paddling in one of our 36 kayaks (as of today), yoga-stretching, reading, writing — wait, that’s a job — and snuggling with the Hubs. I also make it point to read every day, though for a writer, that’s much more like part of the job. sometimes I still make jewelry, but not as often as I used to.
Writing schedule: Seven days a week, 3 – 5 pages a day, however many hours it takes to get that. But I am being kinder to myself these days, and I take an afternoon or day off 2 or 3 times week, unless deadlines are near. Then I grind away.
Other job: After decades in the hospital laboratory field, I am now a full time writer. And no. I do not miss the lab or a hospital setting at all.
Hair Color: matches my mood. Today I’m my natural silver.
On Being a Writer: My life is writing, creating worlds where none existed before. I love it, and I love the characters that spring to life fully formed. I love the justice that I can find in the pages of a book where none existed before. I’m not a talented person, but I reckon if God was going to give me one single talent, I’m REALLY glad it’s writing! I’ve been writing since tenth grade, and will stop the day they tumble me into a grave and cover me up.
On What I do on a Day Off: In spring, summer, and early fall, the Hubs and I go whitewater paddling. Sometimes it’s just a lazy ride down the Catawba River. Other times it’s a faster run at the Charlotte WhiteWater Center on a Class II or Class III river. See? Told you I still think I’m ten feet tall and bulletproof. In cooler temps we go to teh mountains and sightsee.
