Get
to know KT Wagner...
Birthdate?
I'd
rather not share the date publicly, but I am a Virgo and I'm old
enough to have two grown sons in their late twenties. :)
When did you
start writing?
I started writing as
a young child. My mother recently found a notebook of short stories I
wrote when I was eight. However, in high school I wrote for the
school newspaper and for the next thirty years I wrote non-fiction.
Almost ten years ago, I also turned my attention to writing fiction.
When and what and
where did you first get published?
In my early teens, I
wrote a letter to the editor of a national Canadian newspaper about
the separatist movement in the province of Quebec and my hopes for
national unity.
Why do you write?
Writing helps me
make sense of the world. It's a way to explore emotions,
relationships and issues. I believe writing is an essential, and
unique, aspect of human communication.
