#Author Meet with Bryan Taylor (The Three Sisters - #Humor #AmReading)


Tell us about your new book? What’s it about and why did you write it?
Nuns just want to have fun! But when three former Catholic nuns have too much fun and get in trouble with the law, they become nuns on the run.
Driving back to Washington D.C. where they work at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Parts, the three sisters are arrested in Tennessee. After defeating the local deputy in strip poker, they escape from jail, and are pursued by the zealous Detective Schmuck Hole, who has personally offered a $10,000 reward for their capture on the 700 Club. Little do they know that when the three sisters visit the Washington Monument, their lives will change forever.
Set in 1979, The Three Sisters is a humorous, adult satire that skewers not only organized religion, but the government, the media, intellectuals, corporate greed and every other part of the establishment. Maybe not the greatest story ever told, but possibly the funniest.
How often do you write? And when do you write?
I try to write every week.  I write blogs both for the company I work for as well as to promote my novel, The Three Sisters.  Since the two types of blogs are completely different, I schedule different times for each.  My writing on financial data and the stock market is done during the day and during the week.  My writing for The Three Sisters and related fictional subjects is done either in the evenings, or more likely, on the weekends.
What do you hope people will take away from your writing? How will your words make them feel?
I hope my readers will find my book funny.  I hope they will be drawn into the book and be able to associate with my three nuns and feel what they feel. I hope it will also get them to think about religion and politics and the other subjects of the novel.
What movie do you love to watch?
There are hundreds I love to watch, mainly movies from the 1930s, The Wizard of Oz, Screwball comedies like The Awful Truth or Bringing Up Baby, pre-code Warner Brothers films.  You just can’t beat the classics.
How do you feel about social media websites such as Facebook and Twitter? Are they a good thing?
I’m not much of a Facebook person.  I mainly put up cartoons and other visuals on Facebook, but only do so periodically.  I am not a Twitter person.  I don’t see why anyone cares what other people say in 140 characters or less.
Are you a city slicker or a country lover?
I’ve lived in the city all my life and couldn’t imagine living in the country.
How do you feel about self-publishing?
Since I self-published my book, I obviously support it.  Self-publishing enabled me to get my book published the way I knew it needed to be published.  Self-publishing gets a bad name because of the bad content that is out there.  I downloaded a book from Smashbooks last week that was not edited and virtually illegible.  That gives self-publishing a bad name.  Nevertheless, if you don’t know someone on the inside track of mainstream publishing, or you aren’t already a celebrity, publishing mainstream is virtually impossible.  For this reason, I’m glad self-publishing is a viable alternative.
When you get free time on the internet or you go to the library – what do you want to read about?
Usually I prefer economics and finance, especially the historical aspects of each.  Outside of nuns, economics is my main preoccupation.
Last book you purchased? Tell us about it.
The last book I purchased was The Great Salad Oil Swindle about Tito de Angelis who ran a scam that bankrupted his company, got him sent to jail and nearly sank American Express.  I find stock market scandals and swindlers fascinating.
