Mary Crofter's first trip on the water was just after her
first birthday, when her parents came from her birthplace in Kilwa to Portsmouth.
She's been on several trips from Portsmouth
to London and other places since.
She loves the water and the water seems to love her. Can she survive on the
water? Will people ever take seriously a GIRL as a sailor? Will she ever come
off the water? If she does, will the lure of the ocean draw her back?

Thank you for this interview! I’d like to know more about you as a person first. What do you do when you’re not writing?
I spend my days, and most of my
evenings, cheerleading my son. I also
act as Go-Fer for the family. I have a
VERY responsible position in the family.
If anything goes wrong, I’m Responsible.
When did you start writing?
I first wrote when I was a
pre-teen. I wrote a great deal of poetry
in my teens and twenties. I turned to
novels in my mid-30s. I have been writing The Eternity Series for the last
three years.
As a published author, what would you say was the most
pivotal point of your writing life?
The most pivotal point was seeing the first
thirty or forty reviews of I, Walter and realizing that this series
was happening.
If you could go anywhere in the world to start writing your
next book, where would that be and why?
A little cottage close to the beach in Maui.
If you had 4 hours of extra time today, what would you do?
More work on the next book.
Where would you like to set a story that you haven’t done
yet?
This series is just starting, so I’m not sure how to answer that question
yet.
Back to your present book, I, Mary, how did you publish it?
I self published this book, as I
have with other books in this series.
In writing your book, did you travel anywhere for
research?
No, but I did do research on a
number of issues to make it more realistic.
Why was writing I,
Mary so important to you?
I, Mary is the first time I have portrayed a female
voice.
Where do you get your best ideas and why do you think that
is?
I get my best ideas from my muse. As
for why? My muse is very interested in
my success.
Any final words?
I want to issue a thank you to all of my
readers and those who’ve reviewed my books, as well as my editor. Thank you to all
