Featured Interview With Mickey Vanes
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I am a new author with an immense love for stories. I was born and raised in Georgia. My goal is to create new and exciting characters that will challenge our expectations at every turn.
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I started writing stories around four or five, i think. I was basic scribbling on paper, but in my head I was imagining stories. I’ve always loved stories. I basically grew up in the library. I started writing about adventures with the Fantastic Four and Batman when I was about 10. Eventually in college, I took the time to actually write my first novel which had been bouncing around in my head for a few months. It started as a hobby and turned into something wonderful.
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
I don’t have a favorite author per say. I hate picking favorites. There’s some much to choose from. I do tend to gravitate towards anything supernatural or sci-fi. I’m not opposed to others genres though. It depends on how I’m feeling.
Tell us a little about your latest book?
My latest book, The Keeper Chronicles – Book I: Beginnings, is about a young Black girl who finds out she’d destined to save the world. I always wanted to see someone who looked like me be the protagonist of a fantasy story, so I decided to write it myself. The book has vampires, wizards, faeries, and more. It’s a great adventure read and a fun ride. You can find it on Amazon starting July 13th!
