Featured Interview With Neisha Sibley

Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I am a 27 year old Christian young lady who loves God, food and music. I am passionate about seeing young people serve God and that was one of the reasons I wrote this book.
Other reasons includes being obedient to God about sharing my story despite how vulnerable it made me feel. I also wrote this book to encourage others; people who have been through or are currently going through struggles, hurt, disappointment, and dire lack all while serving God and holding true to His promises. Some elements of this book shows mistakes we make as Christians in the way we perceive God, giving up on ministry because of criticisms from others, financially struggling through college but adamant about breaking generational curses among other trials. The name of my book is The Unveiling: Trials, Tragedies and Transitions of a Child of God.

At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I have been reading since I was about 3 years old. I've always loved books and I especially loved writing. I would write on walls, in my siblings textbooks, just about everywhere. Like most kids, I was drawn to books based on their illustrations. As I grew older I realized I had a fascination about biology and so I would always be reading about the body and/or nutrition. Over the years I would read academic books, religious books and today I am author of my first book; The Unveiling: Trials, Tragedies and Transitions of a Child of God.

Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
Some of my favourite authors are John Ramirez, Sarah Jakes Roberts, Jennifer LeClaire, Shanique Shand etc.

Featured Interview With Gregg R. Overman

Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I was born in New Orleans and spent most of my early life in central Louisiana under the quiet and careful guidance of the nuns at Sacred Heart Grammar School in Pineville. It was terrifying. To this day, I will not allow my wife to wear a black and white dress. I then attended Holy Savior Menard Central High School (seriously, that’s the name) where I learned to fear men with the honorific “Coach.” Having learned that lesson and survived to graduation, I went to LSU in Baton Rouge and managed to graduate with a BS in Zoology and a minor in Chemistry in just five and half short years. It was one of the worst mistakes of my life. Not the college or the degree—the graduating from college. I had no idea how much fun I was having until I was no longer having so much fun. If I had known what I know now, I would still be attending the university, having amassed roughly 10,000 undergraduate hours and several million dollars in student loan debt.
After graduation I began living the American Dream: Got married a few times, got divorced a few times minus one, got several jobs, quit several jobs and despite all that, found that I didn’t have quite enough stress in my life, so I started my own business. And that, as we like to say in the industrial detergent business, corrected my pathetically anemic stress levels.
I now live in Hernando MS, a small town just 20 miles south of Memphis. In spite of my best efforts at sabotage, my business in Memphis is still thriving, and, at the age of 70, I still go to work every day to shake my fist and yell at the workers. They smile and say, “Yes sir, Mr. Gregg,” and then completely ignore whatever I said. We have a system, and it’s working.
I have a small house with a large greenhouse on several acres way back in the woods where I live with my wife, three cats, three dogs, twelve chickens, an unknown number of mice (the cats are on strike) and a few tropical fish. The fish are almost no trouble at all.

At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
At the tender age of eight, my dear Aunt Betsey gave me five “Tom Swift Junior” books for my birthday. They had titles like “Tom Swift and His Ultrasonic Cycloplane” and “Tom Swift and the Caves of Nuclear Fire.” I discovered there were worlds within those covers where “Great Things” might be done and no one in a black and white habit would rap your knuckles or make you kneel on rice. It was a safe haven for a young boy who was tragically prone to taking on way more responsibilities than he could possibly handle, and I was well and truly hooked before the end of the first book. It changed my life. (Thank you, Aunt Betsey.) By the time I entered High School, I had read every single Science Fiction book in the Alexandria/Pineville Public Library.
I have always tinkered with writing. It’s gone through stages. There were times when I was writing almost every day and long stretches when I didn’t write at all. I always wrote short stories but never really tried to publish anything because I really, and I mean seriously, sucked at writing. When the author knows it’s crap, it’s crap. I was spared the laughter of my friends and family only because it is so difficult to laugh and cringe at the same time. But I did, ever so slowly, get better.
Then one day I read an article in a science magazine about how humans are hunter-gatherers, and even though there are vast cultural differences, humans share many universal traits because of our common evolutionary past. I remember walking out on the porch—not sure if drugs were involved—and wondering, “Well, what if we weren’t hunter-gatherers? What if we had evolved from, I don’t know… scavengers?” And that was the genesis of the Koombar, an alien race with a penchant for genocidal self-protection.
So I sat down to write a novel, and I have to say, the feeling was immediate. I had room to move! I could flesh out the characters and build an intricate plotline. No one would fault me for spending a page or even more just describing a scene. It was liberating! I discovered that I had no talent for writing short stories, but my struggles with the genre had borne fruit. I could write.
The name of that first book is “Blue Sunrise.” At the time I wrote it, I actually believed that if I wrote a reasonably good science fiction novel, people would read it and it would attract some attention. I know, adorable, right? I mean, I read a LOT of science fiction, and a LOT of science fiction is just awful. Go ahead. You love SciFi, but you know I’m right. Blue Sunrise is not awful. Please quote that. “Author says, ‘Blue Sunrise is not awful.’”
In fact, Blue Sunrise is a good book, much better than most of the books I read these days. Unfortunately, I had no idea how to promote the book, and I also started my business soon after finishing the novel. So, the book sat on Amazon for over ten years, and for all that time, the sequel was bouncing around in my head. I have recently started promoting Blue Sunrise (hence this somewhat painfully long story), and it’s been gratifying that, as of this writing, it has a rating of 4.7 stars with nothing below a three.
But the sequel would not leave me alone, and, in the hope of quieting the voices, I finally sat down to write “Blue Sun Rising.” It’s been an amazing amount of fun. It seems that I have improved as a writer over these last few years. Blue Sun Rising is going to be a fantastic book, and if I quit spending so much time shaking my fist and screaming at workers, I might finish in the next six months or so.

Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
I don’t really have any favorite authors, and even though my favorite genre is hard SciFi, what I read depends heavily on what I need at that point. Much of the time I read for escape (see above). If that’s the aim, then hard SciFi it will be, and it doesn’t need to be anything great or even particularly good. B. V. Larson is a good writer, but you’re not going to get any intricate plot twists or surprise endings in his “Undying Mercenary” series. On the other hand, you don’t have to work at understanding what’s happening or what’s going to happen. McGill will do something stupid, die several times, get himself out of an impossible situation by a nearly impossible action, hookup up with Galina at some point and then retire to his parent’s farm in Georgia. It all makes for a leisurely afternoon of reading.
I read certain authors for certain things. If I want to brush up on how to relentlessly drive a plot forward, Dan Brown is a good choice. Anne Rice helps me hone my ability to describe scenery. Steven King can be counted on to show me how to write a novel that is 400 pages too long.
The point of all this is that I read for relaxation, but I also read with purpose. B. V. Larson can hold a class on character development and keeping things light and uncomplicated even on a peaceful Sunday afternoon. I read everything with what I call a “writer’s eye.” I’m constantly scanning for punctuation, especially punctuation that breaks the rules of “The Elements of Style” and yet still works. I’m always looking at how an author manages and directs the rhythm and flow of the story. If I get particularly caught up in a section of a book, I stop and go back a few pages to figure out how the author did it. Great writers can show you great things, but really bad writers are helpful also. Ask yourself, why isn’t this working?

Tell us a little about your latest book?
I have two problems with this question. Where to start and where to stop. Blue Sunrise was written while working full time and took about a year and a half to finish. I didn’t watch a lot of television during that time. There are three main venues in the novel. Ben Allspot is a particularly tortured individual working on the Moon. He loves his children more than anything, but drugs run a close second, and his life is, of course, in ruins. There is an ensemble cast on Mars as the first manned mission lands and sets up camp with all the surprises and struggles you might imagine in such an endeavor. Meanwhile, lightyears away on the planet Harmony, the Koombar have enslaved a race of intelligent sessile aliens referred to as “Trees.” One of the Trees is tasked with teaching the son of the ruling Koombar King, and a lot of their dialogue consists of discussions of how their respective evolutionary paths have shaped their views and morals. I know that sounds a bit dry, but trust me, it’s not.
So, the Koombar have stolen technology from the Trees, enabling them to destroy all other intelligent life for thousands of years. From the Koombar perspective, this makes perfect sense. The Trees disagree, but their own prejudices prohibit action to stop the Koombar. The plot thickens as our main Tree begins to doubt the wisdom of standing idly by while the Koombar destroy nascent civilizations.
Of course, Blue Sunrise begins as the Koombar discover Earth.
The thing I’m most proud of is getting into the heads of unique aliens. The reader will actually begin to appreciate why the Trees don’t act and why the Koombar are so genocidally paranoid. From our standpoint, they are both insane. From their standpoints each of the other is insane, and yet none of that is true. We are all acting from our own frame of reference, and all frames of reference are valid as long as they are consistent.
Blue Sun Rising, my current cross to bear, takes up where Blue Sunrise finishes. Spoiler alert: The Mars crew makes it (or at least most of them). You’ll need to read Blue Sunrise to find out how the Moon, Earth and Ben Allspot make out.

Featured Interview With Rachael Hohf

Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I grew up in the Midwest, and after more than a decade in Colorado, returned to my midwestern roots.

I have two feisty Catahoula Leopard Dogs, who love to scare squirrels in our backyard.

At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I've loved books ever since I was too young to read them! I loved looking at the pictures, flipping through the pages, and imagining what was happening. My love of books grew by leaps & bounds when I learned to read.

I started writing at an early age. My first original work was a song I wrote in grade school about ants in glass ant farms. (You had to be there.)

Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
I love reading Agatha Christie, classic sci fi authors like Ray Bradbury, Isaac Asimov, and John Christopher, and Jane Austen, to name a few.

Mysteries might be may favorite genre, but I enjoy sci fi a lot, too!

My inspirations are Agatha Christie, Betty Wren Wright, Mary Downing Hahn.

Tell us a little about your latest book?
My newest book is called "What Happened to Jade?" It's a mystery with maybe (?) a supernatural twist or two. (No spoilers!)

When Jade goes missing, and then her best friend also disappears, their roommate Kayla is accused of the crimes. Oddly, several formerly missing people turn up on the same day the two women disappear, and one of the "returned" has a strange story to tell about her time away. Are the incidents related, or just an eerie coincidence? The local detectives are in over their heads, and time is running out.

This book came together pretty quickly, and I had to force myself to stop writing some days! It was a blast to write and I hope everyone enjoys reading it just as much.

Featured Interview With Avanti Centrae

Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
Hi there. I'm an adrenaline junkie raised in the Midwest, where I learned to water ski, ride skateboards and road bikes during the summer, and ice skate and cross-country ski in the winter. After college, I moved to Los Angeles and enjoyed meeting new friends from around the world. For a time, I traveled internationally, and later worked as a raft guide. I currently reside in northern California with my family and German Shepherds and can often be found dreaming up a new thriller on the hiking trail.

At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I frequented the silver bookmobile as a child, deciding I wanted to be a writer someday. That day came in my early fifties after a health scare, when I realized it was now or never! I wrote my debut, VANOPS: THE LOST POWER, in about two years and it took several more years to find an agent and publisher. When it won three awards and released as a Barnes & Noble bestseller, I was over the moon.

Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
I’m a big fan of action-packed global thrillers that delve into ancient mysteries with the potential to impact present-day society. Dan Brown, James Rollins, Steve Berry, JF Penn, and Ernest Dempsey are a few of my go to authors. I also like a well-written domestic thriller and Gregg Hurwitz is my fave author in that genre.

Tell us a little about your latest book?
CLEOPTRA'S VENDETTA was my pandemic book. It's a standalone thriller or may start a new series. I researched for months before I started to really dig into the writing. I loved learning about Cleopatra and what a strong, powerful woman she was. Most people are familiar with her suicide; this story starts when her death begins. Her revenge is carried out in the present day by estranged couple Tim and Angie Stryker, who haven't been seeing eye to eye since the loss of their infant son. Angie's turned to the bottle to grieve, which doesn't work for Tim because of a tragic childhood incident involving his drunk father. They go on a holiday to reconnect, but Angie and their four-year-old daughter get kidnapped. To get them back, Stryker and his team of military misfits have to track down Cleopatra's ancient gold journal, as it holds the key to the location of the kidnappers.
It's a fun action-packed story, filled with twists and unexpected messages. I'm honored that it won two awards and has been racking up critical acclaim. Readers can watch a trailer on my website.

Featured Interview With Reginald Andah

Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
Hello, and thank you for taking interest in my creative work! I always had a goal to create a story people could relate to as well as convey a heartfelt message about the world we live in today. Thanks to your support, I'm able to accomplish that goal one step at a time. For a little bit about my background, I was born and raised in Houston, TX. I've traveled outside of state before but still reside there. If you read my author bio, you will see I was given quite the responsibility at a young age while trying to fight my own hardships. However, thanks to those experiences, I've been able to find deeper meaning in the life I live which led me to storytelling.

At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
Since I learned to read when I was a kid, I was interested in a wide range of books. I read stories from Dr. Seus, R.L. Stine, and Cynthia Voigt just to name a few. My passion for reading dwindled as my personal life became harder going into my pre-teens. However, the reading aspect turned into writing where I expressed things I was going through by either writing in a journal or doing poetry. Thanks to the influence of some of my childhood friends, I incorporated what I expressed through my journal entries and poems into rap. I never knew I would actually do anything with it, but the rapping eventually turned to music when I entered adulthood as an outlet for my emotions. Thanks to that, I translated those emotions by putting a piece of myself into each character I write for my stories. Also, my music is influenced by hip-hop beats inspired by raps I made, and instrumentals I developed over the years. I have even made a soundtrack for my book titled "A New Dawn" for readers to listen to as they engage with the narrative with tracks full of orchestral instrumentals and some hip-hop influence.

Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
Favorite authors for me are hard to narrow down. My inspiration comes from all types of media and is influenced by a plethora of individuals. However, I will say, the most influential authors and pieces that have changed how I write today would be Dan Brown "The Davinci Code", Lois Lowry "The Giver", Masashi Kishimoto (Manga novelist/artist creator) "Death Note", Tsugumi Ohba (Manga novelist) "Death Note", and last but definitely not least the Bible. Expressing biblical morals and philosophy through fictional stories in a way where people can relate is what really inspires my writing. However, as you can see, I don't limit my inspiration solely to scripture. Everyone has a beautiful story to tell despite the type of media it stems from. After all, God chose sinners in The Bible since we are all sinners. Therefore, people tend to relate to the broken character because we are all flawed and wish to change something about our lives or ourselves. Character development is something we all go through in our individual lives whether we achieve what we strive to pursue or not. That's why I personally love redemption stories, plots that inspire hope, or narratives that challenge people's perception of reality for the better. Hence, why I chose the authors and their respective pieces. My favorite genre to read usually is science fiction because I believe the potential for storytelling is endless. However, I also enjoy any story as long as it's a good one that will keep me engaged (unless it's too dark).

Tell us a little about your latest book?
My latest book "A New Dawn" is a book that can be put into different categories. Some may read it and see it as a romance between the two characters Xander and Leona. Others may read it and see it as a mystery/ thriller warning us of things to come in our society. Another group may get excited by both the futuristic and old concepts incorporated into the narrative that clash in descriptive scenes to create action-packed adventures. I see it as a science fiction story weaving in biblical concepts to make humanity aware of the dangerous path our society is headed toward. However you see this narrative, it is my greatest hope that each reader is able to get something out of it and that the story challenges them to take a deeper look at the world we live in.

It took me a little under a year to write the first part of this story. Xander Williams, the main character, strives to do the right thing, although the darkness plaguing the world makes being righteous extremely difficult. The main female protagonist, Leona, is a strong, independent individual who carries a hard responsibility as one of the top soldiers and a burden greater than most people are aware of. Both of these characters act as foundations for each other as they try to navigate the post-apocalyptic world. Throughout their journey, they find other characters who are willing to aid them in the fight to take back planet earth from vile beings. Three support characters in particular become like family to them as they strive toward defeating the enemy. However, each character introduced is an integral part of the story in some shape or form. Though some people today may have forgotten, every person matters and is connected to another in some way. This is one of the many concepts I also tried to convey throughout the story.

Featured Interview With Dan O’Mahony

Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I've self-published four books so far, and as of this interview will be releasing two more. I write mostly middle-grade fantasy, but one the books I'll soon be releasing, Death's Fair Maiden, will be my first attempt at young adult, not to mention my first fantasy-romance.
I grew up in California, mostly in So Cal. Currently, I live in Phoenix, Arizona but have plans on moving back to Cali' in the near future. Oh, and I am the proud father of two beautiful cats, Luna and Shyanne. They are in fact sisters.

At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
As far back as I can remember, I've enjoyed losing myself in a book. Fantasy has always been my jam. I loved reading Edgar Rice Burroughs when I was young. I've also enjoyed writing stories too, ever since grade school. I loved writing fantasy and was heavily inspired by Greek and Norse mythology.
As I got older, I veered away from fantasy. I was convinced that if I wanted to write "seriously" I needed more "sophisticated" subject matter. Eventually, I smartened up and found myself drifting back toward the fantasy genre. It felt good. It was like coming home.
I also found that, despite what others might think, fantasy stories can be deep and meaningful. I enjoy creating characters that possess fantastic abilities but are still very human at their core. One of the best compliments I have ever received came from someone in a writers' group who told me she didn't read fantasy but would STILL read one of my stories.
I also proudly tell people that I write for younger readers, although my stories have been enjoyed by adults too. It always reminds me of a quote by C.S. Lewis that a good children's book that cannot be enjoyed by adults is NOT a good children's book.

Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
I've been a big fan of Neil Gaiman ever since I discovered The Sandman. In fact, that helped inspire me to get back into writing fantasy. I do read mostly fantasy. I love Terry Pratchett's wit and satire. I still read a lot of mythology, mostly Irish/Celtic as well as Irish history. In Death's Fair Maiden, there are flashback chapters that cover key events in Irish history. As a fantasy writer, and this is going to sound weird, but Chuck Palahniuk — Mr. Fight Club — had a big influence on writing, namely on how to capture a character's voice.

Tell us a little about your latest book?
As I already mentioned, Death's Fair Maiden, is my first attempt at YA, not to mention a fantasy-romance. I playfully refer to it as "Boy Meets Banshee." I decided to make it YA, because banshees are associated with death and it seemed fitting. While my banshee can be scary at times, she is also very loving and protective of the mortals in her care. Much of the content may be mature — language, sex, and violence — I made sure it was not graphic or exploitative.
I do have another book I'm releasing at the same time. It's a MG fantasy entitled Illumina. I think of it as my love letter to the fantasy genre. It's about a young boy who suffered a horrible tragedy and is inspired by a mysterious substitute teacher to write fantasy stories. This proves to be very therapeutic. I include the actual stories the boy writes within the body of the book, and there comes a point in the main narrative where his fantasy world begins to invade the real world.

Featured Interview With Dr. Britney Caruso

Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I am originally from the suburbs of Chicago. I have always been a very hard worker. In fact, my second grade teacher told me that if I did not stop working so hard, I would burn out. Almost 40 years later, I am still running 100 mph. I am a single mother by choice with a boy who means the world to me.

At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I started writing immediately after I achieved my Fellowship in Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine through the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M).

Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
Ralph Waldo Emerson. Honestly, hated writing in high school. I have a terrible imagination. However, I had such a clear mission in my head and my subpar imagination skills were not going to get in my way of writing Beyond Carrots.

Tell us a little about your latest book?
In my book, Beyond Carrots, I tell a brief story about the scariest day of my life. I then talk about eye diseases and how they can be so dramatically influenced by food and lifestyle. Diseases like cataracts, macular degeneration, and dry eye that affect so many people can be positively impacted by the methods discussed in my book. Next, there is a detailed discussion of what to eat and what to avoid. I try to keep things light and cheerful so that Beyond Carrots is anything but boring because I am an anything but boring. I also hit on the lifestyle changes that can impact eye health from meditation and prayer to simply moving more. Beyond Carrots closes with a step-by-step plan for reversing eye disease that follows the steps that I followed when I reversed my own disease in 30 days. If I can reverse my eye disease, then my reader can too.
