Interview with Nichole Haines

Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?

I grew up in the USA and I started having strange dreams already when I was a little girl, and I wish I would have written down my strange dreams when I was a little girl, but I didn't. I would always dream about big black loud helicopters coming after me with tinted windows, and I was never able to tell who was flying those helicopters or who was after me. I had a few of my dreams come true in my lifetime, but hopefully, none of these dreams come true. I also had two friends and one ex-boyfriend come to me in a dream to let me know that they passed away in real life. I woke up the next day from my dream and typed their names in Google to find their obituaries. I had a lot of dreams about UFO's when I was younger.

What are you working on next?

I will continue to add more of my crazy dreams to the Dream Journal whenever I have a strange dream.

When you're not writing, how do you spend your time?

I spend time with my two daughters. I have a 12-year-old daughter with an IQ of 132 who is in the gifted program at school and I have a two-year-old daughter. None of my daughters have Cerebral Palsy. Cerebral Palsy isn’t genetic.

How do you approach cover design?

I picked a science fiction cover of course to fit my dreams. I got the cover from book cover artist Creative Paramita www.creativeparamita.com. They did a great job on my book cover.

What's the story behind your latest book?

I thought about all the very strange dreams I have dreamed about in my life so far, and I forgot about a lot of them, so I thought it would be a great idea to start keeping track of my strange dreams and share them with people.

Do you believe in both God and the Devil?

Yes, I firmly believe both the Devil and God exists, but I believe that God is stronger than the devil. And God will be the winner in the end. I read the Bible every day, but I do believe that the Devil can influence your dreams along with other bad spirits. I also believe good spirits can also enter your dreams to give you messages. I have seen the repeated numbers of 11:11 and the numbers 666 the last few years on paper work and clocks.

What is the scariest based on a True Story you have watched so far?

Fire in the Sky. I watched that movie for the first time when I was a teenager back in the 1990's because it was based on a true story.

When will the Dream Journal be updated?

The Dream Journal will be updated the next time I have another strange dream. I noticed that I must be in a deep sleep to have a strange dream. Sometimes it could take weeks to have another strange dream. I also noticed when I do tend to have strange dreams I tend to wake up with a headache. It tends to mentally drain me, so sit tight and be patient for the next strange dream to be updated in my book.
