Featured Interview With Barbara Mostella
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I was born in Ashville, Alabama, and I have a Bachelor of Science degree from Alabama Agricultural & Mechanical University (AAMU). I’m a retired Program Manager from the Department of Defense and I live in Georgia with my husband. We have no pets.
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
My passion for books ignited doing elementary school, and I found immense joy in frequenting the library and reading newspapers. I started my writing journey in 2019 after completing a training course on writing and publishing books.
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
The late Stuart Woods, a renowned best-selling author and my biggest author fan was the source of my inspiration for writing. His books would capture your attention in the first chapter of his books and hold you until the last chapter. I’ve tried to replicate his writing in my own way. My favorite genre to read is fiction.
Tell us a little about your latest book?
On February 21, 2024, I published ‘Why Now’, the third and last book in my series ‘Who would have thought’. The last book took about 6 months to write. Each book in the series can be read independently. ‘Why Now’ is a gripping tale of resilience, self-discovery, and the relentless pursuit of the truth about the main character Alphonso. The suspenseful narrative and unexpected twists will keep readers on the edge of their seats, making it a compelling exploration of the main character memory, identity, and the consequences of a past deliberately erased.
