Featured Interview With Riley May
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I grew up an hour outside of Minneapolis, in the country. I moved to the bigger city the first chance I got, and loved it. I live in Minneapolis, and travel tons throughout the year.
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
Wow, way too early to think about. I read constantly when I was a kid, up to several books a day (of course, that’s when the books I read were smaller). I read anything and everything I could.
I just started writing a few months ago!
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
I love chick lit and classic novels. Sophia Kinsella, Sinclair Lewis, Matt Dunn, Upton Sinclair, and more are my favorite.
Tell us a little about your latest book?
On a whim, I started a fiction blog. It went from zero to 8000+ readers a month in just 3 short months! It is still growing every day. I decided to put the first three months into an ebook format so people can catch up rather than clicking through the site.
