Alexis Marie Chute Q and A

1. Where did you grow up /live now?

I grew up and live in the same city, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. For two years I lived abroad in New Zealand, which was a fabulous adventure, and I don’t doubt there will be other distant lands in my future.

2. As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?

As a child, I always wanted to be an artist and author — exactly what I am doing right now. I also wanted to be an actress and big business woman. I’ve always had many dreams and still think it would be a great challenge to be a lawyer or a firefighter. I don’t subscribe to the idea that we have to pick one career and stick with it. Life is more fun with adventure, change and challenge.

3. What is your education/career background?

My undergraduate degree is a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Art and Design. I have my Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing.

4. Do you have kids and/or pets?

I have three living children, ranging from nine-years-old to three. We have no pets, unfortunately, as I grew up with dogs and love furry companions, but my husband is allergic so I chose him over the four-legged friends.

5. What do you think makes a good story?

A good story has characters that are simultaneously loveable and deplorable. The plot is unexpected and varied. There is a lot at stake, and the risks and rewards are always in flux. I can always tell a story is good when it keeps me up at night, lingers long after the last page, and I wish I had thought it up!

6. On a Friday night, what are you most likely to be doing?

Friday nights are movie nights in my house. My husband and I and our three kids will make pizza, wings, and popcorn, we put on a hero-centric movie (my kids are obsessed with Marvel), and will cuddle up together. My husband and I work so hard during the week, and our kids do the same with their school and activities, that we all love crashing at the end of the week.

7. What do you like to do when you are not writing?

Not in winter — I hate snow — but I typically love being outdoors! My favorite activities are paddle boarding, canoeing, hiking, trail running, and sitting in a hot tub outside and talking for hours with friends and family.

Also, aside from my writing, I am a visual artist, curator, filmmaker, and public speaker. So those things, plus family time, keep me super busy. I do, however, always make time for the important people in my life.

8. What is the one book no writer should be without?

A dictionary and thesaurus. Though I use these tools online now, I am constantly referring to them while writing my books.
