Featured Interview With Farzaneh Ghadirian

Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
Hello everyone!
My name is Farzaneh and I’m a writer. So far, I have written four books. They are titled “She Is A Spirit Now” (memoir), “It’s Just A Dog’ (Children’s book) and “One Heart” (children’s book). My latest book is called “Soulful Mastery”. This book is a beautiful compilation of uplifting and thought-provoking images and quotes that are sure to inspire readers.
I’m originally from Tehran, Iran, but I currently reside in Hobart, Tasmania in Australia. I am passionate about writing stories, poems, books, and other creative pieces of work. I find joy in crafting words and sharing them with others. Writing gives me a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction, and I strive to improve my skills and techniques with each new piece of work I create.

In my free time, I enjoy reading, taking photographs, cooking, and spending time with my family and friends. I love being outdoors too and appreciating the beauty of nature in all its forms. I find a lot of peace and joy in spending time surrounded by natural landscapes, animals, plants, and other aspects of the natural environment. I often take time to appreciate the small details of nature and am always in awe of its complexity. I also believe that it is important to respect and protect nature so that future generations can enjoy its beauty.

Coco is my beloved Puli dog and an amazing companion on my outdoor adventures. She is always eager to explore new places, and I can always count on her to keep me company! Her intelligence and loyalty make her the perfect companion, and I’m so grateful to have her in my life.

At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
At age 8, I developed an intense fascination with books, which eventually led me to begin writing. After an intense spiritual transformation and awakening in 2021, I began to take my writing more seriously and started to explore new styles and genres. Over the past few years, I have been actively pursuing my passion for writing, drawing inspiration from my own life experiences and observations. I began journaling my thoughts and experiences and eventually started writing poetry and my stories. Writing has become an important part of my life and I am continually exploring new ways to express myself through the written word.

Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
My favourite authors to read are Dr Joe Dispenza, a New York Times best-selling author and lecturer in the field of neuroscience, quantum physics and epigenetics; Alan Watts, a British philosopher, writer and speaker known for his interpretations of Eastern philosophy for a Western audience; Eckhart Tolle, a spiritual teacher and author of the best-selling books The Power of Now and A New Earth; and Dr. Wayne Dyer, a motivational speaker and author of many books including Your Erroneous Zones and Real Magic.

Tell us a little about your latest book?
“She Is A Spirit Now” is a personal memoir and an exploration of what it means to be a human being and how we can use our own inner strength and capacity for self-transformation to reach our highest potential. It is also an exploration of the power of spirituality to help us foster greater peace, joy, and contentment in our lives. It took me an entire year to complete it; it was a difficult and emotional journey, but it also gave me a sense of peace and closure. My journey was filled with self-exploration, personal growth, and healing. I reflected on my life and questioned the beliefs that had been instilled in me. I opened my heart and mind to new possibilities, learning to trust my intuition and follow my own truth. I practised meditation and mindfulness, cultivating a deeper connection to my inner wisdom. I also studied spiritual teachings and explored different spiritual paths, which allowed me to gain insight into my life and explore the spiritual realms. As I moved through these varied experiences, I began to understand who I truly am and what my purpose in life is. Along my journey, I discovered my spiritual gifts, embraced my authentic self, and discovered a new level of personal power. “She Is A Spirit now” is written in an engaging, conversational style, making it easy to understand and relate to. It contains a range of stories, anecdotes, and reflections that provide insight into topics such as self-care, forgiveness and compassion, letting go of the past, and cultivating a lifestyle that supports one’s highest good.

Featured Interview With Debbie Schrack

Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I was born in Kentucky but have lived most of my life in Virginia. For the past twenty years I have lived in Fairfax, VA which is a few miles west of Washington, D.C. I am a retired teacher and spend most of my days either writing or riding my horse Phoenix. I am married, have three grown children, two beautiful grandchildren and a dog, Gracie.

At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I have loved to read ever since I was a little girl. I remember one time I decided to read all the books in our elementary school library. I just started with A and I ended up reading a lot of books I wouldn’t have normally picked up. I don’t think I got through the whole library, though! I started writing in middle school, inspired by my 7th grade English teacher. I worked on some children’s stories in my 20’s but nothing came of them, then I put writing on hold until after my kids were grown. I picked it back up in my late 40’s and it took me until I was 63 to get my first book published.

Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
I love the YA genre, of course, because that’s what I write. The most inspiring authors for me in that genre are Jason Reynolds and Laurie Halse Anderson. I also love mysteries, specifically Dick Francis (because he writes about horses) and Agatha Christie. My favorite romance author is Jane Austen.

Tell us a little about your latest book?
SAVING SOPHIE is the story of a boy named Gabe whose half-brother Josh has just gone to prison for causing a drunk driving accident that killed four people. The sole survivor of the accident, Sophie, now lives with her aunt and uncle, who own a bakery. Sophie has a brain injury, amnesia and epilepsy from the accident. She has a seizure alert dog, a golden retriever named Joe. When Gabe signs up to do tutoring for a senior service project, he discovers that the girl he will be tutoring is Sophie. Gabe is tortured by the accident and wants to make amends for Josh’s actions, so he decides to help Sophie without telling her who he is. Complications arise when he falls in love with her!

Featured Interview With Barbara Daniels Dena

Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I will first share that I enjoy meeting new readers and engaging with my readers, especially on Twitter.

The beginning of my childhood was in Illinois, but the majority was in Colorado Springs where we moved for my brother’s health. After high school, I returned to Illinois for college. I have lived all over the United States but have retired to Illinois to be close to my children.

Yes, I have a 4 1/2 pound Yorkie, Zoe, who believes she is the author of my books; I am but the transcriptionist. Needless to say, she is the master of her domain. And to please her, she does show up in my stories in both books.

At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I have adored books since I was a small child and once I learned to read I believe I have never gone to bed without reading. Whether it is an ebook or paperback, I read before sleeping every night no matter where I am.

As a child, I wrote stories. I believe many authors start out this way. I always loved essay exams and term papers. Another chance to write. I love the ‘what if’ part of writing.

Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
My favorite genre to read is mystery, thriller, or suspense. To say I have a favorite would be unfair to so many authors. I read indie authors as well as the more traditionally famous ones. I lean more toward independent authors as I know the struggle and prefer to give them a boost whenever possible.

I believe any person who struggles through life with a problem, a crisis, or trauma and makes it through that dark tunnel to the other side is an inspiration. I dislike injustice, and those who stand up against it (without violence) are also inspirations to me.

Tell us a little about your latest book?
I have written two books of short stories. Both are eclectic in nature, as I do not follow a theme. Some stories are memoir oriented as I tell funny or poignant tales of my life.

Others are flights of fancy that my ‘what if’ imagination took off on a tangent, and I conjured up a story. In the second book, I gave voice to injustice in a piece or two and I tried my hand at a few mysteries which gave me many entertaining days crafting them.

I write for myself but in so doing, I hope to entertain readers and all those who enjoy reading short stories.

Featured Interview With Klemens Nguyen

Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
UI was born in Warsaw, Poland. I grew up here, I studied here. I live here now. I had a dog for 12 years.

At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
My parents read to me first. Then I started alone. When I was 11, I read “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer” with flushed cheeks. Since then, I prefer the book to the TV. The book develops the imagination.
I started writing when I was 24. They were articles for an electronic magazine. Then I started writing books.

Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
For entertainment and relaxation, I love detective stories. For the right mood, I read books by Esther Hicks and Jerry Hicks. I was inspired to write about technical topics by the book “The Feynman Lectures on Physics”.

Tell us a little about your latest book?
I read questions posted on electronics and electrical newsgroups. When people have less knowledge than I do, I am happy to give them advice. I think I saved a few people from the unpleasant experience of electricity. When I find topics that interest many people – I describe them in the form of a smaller or larger book.
