Featured Interview With Lillian and Dave Brummet

Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
My husband and I met and married almost 30 years ago and currently reside in our dream location of the Kootenay region of BC Canada. In the last 10 years we have been busy transforming the home to a more eco-friendly one and converting the property from a rental-like yard to a beautiful garden oasis. Our business, BrummetMedia.ca, acts like an umbrella where we offer a host of services, products and books. Besides gardening and the realm of writing/reading, I have a huge passion for rescued pets and love hosting doggie play dates or puppy sitting while neighbours and friends are travelling. We currently share our home with 2 dogs and a cat… Skyla is 12 and may not be around much longer, sadly, Duchess is not too far behind Skyla in age… Korma kitty is just 6 years old. The dogs love to hang out on the deck and they adore their park-like yard and gardens.

At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I was a writer long before I knew it. My mom was a regular at libraries and I could often be found in tow carrying my own stack of books. My first story brought a teacher to tears as she read it out to the class and I was taken back by the attention and the effect it had. It kinda scared me, actually. Later on I found solace in poetry, expressing the hidden pain from the childhood trauma and youthful angst… and when that poetry was accepted and celebrated, I realized that hey – maybe there’s something to this writing thing. It wasn’t until a car accident woke me up to the disappointing tragedy of my life that I became committed to making a difference, to giving back, to have meaning in my life and to give some reason to my existence. Thus, the writing in the genres I have chosen – poetry, living “green”, eco-farming/gardening, and the arts.

Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
To get away from life and explore new imaginations, I will dive into fiction and relish every word. To understand self and expand compassion, I turn to poetry. However, I’m big on learning… it turns me on… so at least half of my shelves at home have non-fiction titles.

Tell us a little about your latest book?
Dave and I have collaborated on 6 published books and one coming up soon. The latest publication is a collection of our poetry… Dave has his own section in the book – called Rhythm and Rhyme – here you can see our individual poetry writing styles and find us expressing passions for nature, love, animals, music and real life experiences including the loss of family members.

Featured Interview With Tim Richardson

Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I was raised in a small town called Sackville, New Brunswick, which too often gets confused with a suburb of Halifax. I moved to Calgary, Alberta, at the age of 16. I have been in the finance industry for 25+ years and have had a tremendously humbling career.
For 43 years, my ‘WHY’ was money. I woke up one day and realized that I had all the money I needed and was the least happiest person I had ever been. I decided it was time to re-tool my life. I lost 75 lbs, stopped smoking and drinking and truly focused on self-improvement. I work every day at my relationships with family, friends and work colleagues. All I want it to make the world a better place.

At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
Surprisingly, I never read a book its in entirety in my life. I started reading at age 43, which is where I gained all the knowledge I needed to re-tool things in my life. The only books I read as an adult were the books I used to study for my investment licensing.

Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
My main focus on the books that I read are about leadership and being a better person. I often find myself referring back to specific chapters when I’m struggling with something or trying to help someone. There are too many titles that I love to name.
‘Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway” by Susan Jefferson was the book that changed my life.

Tell us a little about your latest book?
My book is comprised of bits and pieces of all the books I have read throughout my adult life that stuck with me. As I continued to read, I would write down the things that stuck with me. And then I would apply them to my life and test the methods. So I thought to myself, “why not write a book about it?”. Now, all my knowledge is in one place and I have a legacy written for my kids.

Featured Interview With Pemry Janes

Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I live in the Netherlands, grew up on a farm for the first 8 years of my life. When we moved out to the town I still live in now, I got two turtles from my parents. They’re red-eared sliders, one of them is still with me. He’s not alone though, I rescued two others and those have kept him company for over twenty years now.

At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I got my fascination for reading real early thanks to my father. He had and still has, shelves and shelves of books. I started reading them when I was young and only years after did I go to the library to get more books.

Writing took me longer. I actually came into that through fanfiction. That opened my eyes, that writing was something a lot of people did. Silly in hindsight, I know.

Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
My favorite genres are fantasy and science fiction, if we are talking fiction. But I also read a lot of non-fiction about historical subjects.

As for favorite authors, got to go with Robert Jordan if we’re talking fantasy. With science fiction, I’m torn between David Weber or Jack Campbell.

Tell us a little about your latest book?
The Living Sword 2 – The Road Ahead took me a lot longer to write than I planned; several years more. The ending especially, I just wasn’t sure I could do my vision justice. But I think I succeeded in the end and the book is better for the extra time it took.

The story is about Eurik and Leraine and their growing friendship. Eurik is looking to find out who his parents were. Leraine has to bring home the news that her teacher, a woman that made her the warrior she is, died.

It’s not a safe journey, they’re traveling through some rough country with people that are rough themselves. And there’s a war brewing right in their path.

If you want to know more, you’ll have to read the book.
