Frequently Asked Questions

Now that my third book has been published, more and more people in my life find out that I write. Here are just a few of the questions I frequently get:

Question: What are you currently working on?

Answer: I am always hard at work on “The Next Book”…or books. Like many authors, I am often uncomfortable talking about the work in progress.

Question: Are your books available as E-books?

Answer: Yes. Sites for the e-books will vary by publishing venue. The quickest way to locate them is to check my author’s website www.authorapiperburgi.com

Question: Do you control your cover art?

Answer: So far I have had complete control over my book covers. Since I self-publish it is up to me to provide the cover art.

Question: Do you spend eight hours a day/40 hours per week writing or is it less structured?

Answer: I don’t do anything for forty hours a week. I prefer things “less structured.”

Question: How long does it take you to write a book?

Answer: My first book only took a little less than a year to put together. My second book took a year and a half. It all depends on the subject matter.

Question: Is writing something that came naturally or something you had to work at?

Answer: Story telling runs in the family, but it’s still hard work.

Well, we did it! We drove through Denali National Park from beginning to end at Wonderlake and back to our motorhome. We were fortunate with the local weather…sunshine and cloudless skies. The only thing that left something to be desired was the temperature with a daytime high (or more accurately daytime low) of 42 degrees Fahrenheit.

It was a long drive that lasted most of our day (I think my bottom is still asleep from sitting in a car all that time), even though we left shortly after 10:00 am; we finally got back to the RV around 7:30 pm, just in time to make a pot of potato soup before quiet hours began....
