Top Selling Authors: Get To Know Them Better

Featured Interview With Bentley Bryce Finley

Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
Born in 1964 in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada.
Father of two kids.
Remarried.
Holds an honours degree (with distinction) in History in Art from the University of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.
Teaches at the Co-operative State University of Baden-Wuerttemberg at Mannheim, Germany.
A former journalist and author of four previous books on health, business, and travel.
Writes personal experience adventure tales about living this life.
Has a passion for Weimaraner dogs and possibly antique European sports cars and wooden sailboats.

At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
When I was very young. I did scribble some stories in grade school, but they had not plot and were terrible. I had no idea what I wanted to write. I just wanted to write. Eventually, I determined that I can’t make up stories, so I became a journalist and only wrote down what really happened. Now that I write non-fiction books, well, that just fits right in, doesn’t it?

I have been collecting rare books forever, and there will be a problem soon, storing all of them.

Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
I do read a lot of non-fiction, in my field (art and art history), and in general areas like history, politics, travel, reference (anything from learning languages to how to fix my motorcycle or build a sailboat).

But my favourite authors don’t write any of that stuff. I would say my all-time favourite authors are too many to list, but often, at the top of my list, is Ernest Hemingway. I don’t know why sometimes, but he often still is. Lately, I really liked some things I read from Mark Haddon.

Tell us a little about your latest book?
My book, Finishing Year, is the story of my going overseas for a year to finish my university degree as a foreign exchange student. The thing is, I was in my mid-40’s at the time. That doesn’t make much difference to me (prior to that I had worked for three years at my home university and taken a few courses to work on finished an incomplete degree), but there is a lot to say about what this does to your life, your outlook, your progress, your future. It is hard to do when you have kids, bills, and little niggling thoughts about how you went so long without a completed higher education…

Featured Interview With Emily Wibberley

Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
Seven Things about Me:

1. I’m just starting out so I’m not “the best-selling author” of anything, but…

2. I did once stand in line to meet Joss Whedon at a comic book signing when I was in middle school and got him to autograph a Buffy the Vampire Slayer poster for me.

3. I was the flute section leader in my high school’s marching band.

4. I graduated from Princeton University in June 2014 with a bunch of people who are a lot smarter than I am.

5. Besides YA, some of my favorite reading material comes from Jane Austen and the Preacher comic book series. I also like to spend my free time playing video games like The Last of Us.

6. I have two rescue German Shepherds. One is really sweet and the other thinks he’s a NAVY SEAL and that every cat, skateboarder and motorcyclist is a terrorist.

7. L + R = J.I

At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
When I was in the 4th grade, my dad gave me Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice. I don’t think he realized how much older the intended reading audience was. I read it. And then I read all the sequels. I still wonder what my 5th grade teacher thought when I told her to read The Vampire Lestat because “it’s the best book ever.”

I have been reading voraciously ever since–mostly YA–but I didn’t start writing until I had the idea for this YA Fantasy/Action series, which was inspired by everything I’ve ever read and great heroines like Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
My favorite authors are Jane Austen, Cassandra Claire, Vladimir Nabokov, Charlotte Brontë, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Leo Tolstoy, and George Eliot who’s not a guy. I read everything YA. Joss Whedon inspires me and everyone else.

Tell us a little about your latest book?
My debut novel is a YA Fantasy/Action Adventure/Romance.

Here’s the blurb:

Fifteen-year-old Clio should have never been the Oracle of Sheehan. That power is passed from mother to eldest daughter, and Clio is the youngest of four sisters. But when her entire family is murdered by Mannix, the king’s adviser, Clio is left all alone and heir to a power she never wanted and doesn’t understand.

Hunted by Mannix, Clio seeks refuge in a foreign city where oracles are absolutely forbidden. If she’s found out, she will be sacrificed atop its great pyramid.

Clio has no choice but to win the trust of Riece, an enemy warrior. Despite the growing feelings between them, Clio knows that if he finds out who she really is, he won’t hesitate to kill her.

Clio tries to hide her budding powers, longing to be a normal girl who can fall in love, but the visions she has of Mannix bringing a barbarian army into Sheehan torture her conscience. She alone has the strength and foresight to stop him, but only if she can embrace her destiny and sacrifice everything.

Featured Interview With Magie Dominic

Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I am a Newfoundland writer and artist, received the Langston Hughes award for poetry, studied at The Art Institute of Pittsburgh and live in Manhattan. My essays and poetry have been published in over fifty anthologies and journals in Canada, the United States, Italy, and India. My artwork has been exhibited in Toronto and New York, including a presentation at the United Nations.

My first memoir, The Queen of Peace Room, from Wilfrid Laurier University Press, was shortlisted for the Canadian Women’s Studies Award, Book of the Year Award-ForeWord Magazine and the Judy Grahn Award. In 2014 I was long listed for The Vanderbilt/Exile Short Fiction Award.

My latest memoir Street Angel (Wilfrid Laurier University Press) was published in July, 2014.

I am one of the founding members of the Off-Off Broadway movement of the sixties, and am a member of the League of Canadian Poets, My writing archives were entered into NYU Fales Library Permanent Collection. My theater archives, The Caffe Cino/ Magie Dominic Archives, were acquired by Lincoln Center Library for the Performing Arts in 2011. The collection is open to the public.

I currently live in New York. I don’t have any pets but I have several house plants.

At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
In school, probably around age 9. I went to an all girls Catholic school taught my very strict nuns, which I write about in Street Angel. I was always called upon to read aloud in class. It made me very, very nervous but I did it. I remember looking at the commas, and dashes, and knowing when to pause and for how long. I learned a lot about reading aloud, though under much duress!

My first writing was poetry. Poems about nature and also about death. I’m not sure why I wrote about death at such an early age.

Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
My favorite writers, currently, are Margaret Atwood, Mary Oliver, Frank McCourt and Rumi, Many others. If I find a book I really love, I’ll re-read it several times. And with each reading I learn a little more about the writer. My favorite genres are non-fiction, biography and poetry. I can’t narrow it down to one. I love them all.

Many people inspire me. It may be an entire book as in Angel’s Ashes or a one line quote somewhere.

Tell us a little about your latest book?
Margaret Atwood said in a 1995 lecture; “If you write a work of fiction, everyone assumes that the people and events in it are disguised biography — but if you write your biography, it’s equally assumed you’re lying your head off.” At the risk of being accused of one or the other I wrote Street Angel, a memoir. Street Angel tells the story of a young girl in a Newfoundland fishing village in the 1950’s, and chronicles sixty years of a complex, secretive family.

The story begins in 1956. Patti Page and rock and roll are on the radio, and Ed Sullivan is on TV in black and white on Sunday nights. The Russians are sending dogs into space and the dogs have spacesuits and helmets. I’m eleven years old and in the back seat of my father’s blue Chevrolet, on my way to the home of my father’s brother and his wife, where I’ll care for their two baby boys for eight days.

The hamlet is the first time in my life that I’m away from what I call my mother’s affliction- her terror of darkness. My mother blocks doors with furniture, seals keyholes with face cloths, secures curtains with large safety pins, closes her eyes, places blankets over her head and lays motionless. But it’s never enough. She finds temporary solace during the day, alone in her garden, but she sees a terrifying world in the darkness. The hamlet represents my first time away from that world.

Part One chronicles the eight hamlet days and shows, through a series of flashbacks, how important those early years are in shaping who we become as we age and how time seems to speed up later on. The story touches upon the little streets we walk as a child and how those little streets are the universe. I live my life through the radio, Hollywood movies and the majesty of Newfoundland’s wilderness.

Several controversies are expressed in Street Angel including a mother’s hallucinations and schizophrenia; and the violence of the 1950s Catholic nuns towards the children who were put in their care. My mother is Scottish Presbyterian, and my father is Lebanese Catholic, making me, in the eyes of the nuns, the product of a “mixed home” and one step away from living in sin.

The hamlet is an opportunity to think about my life for the very first time. My father’s dry goods store failed, he lost the store and our home and we were forced into the woods to survive and lived in a cabin for two years without electricity, heat, hot water, neighbours or any means of communication. During the cabin years I rode to school with the egg delivery man, in the egg truck. I spent a good deal of time roaming around in the woods, communing with wildlife. Children can quickly adapt to life’s changes, unlike adults who may struggle for years.

Part Two of Street Angel moves with quick brush-stroke chapters to the 1960s in New York with its unbelievable highs and lows, to the end of the seventies and eighties, to the end of the millennium in Toronto, to the present. Time plays a role as the story moves forward and back from the point of narration.

Street Angel chronicles sixty years of a complex, secretive family, in a story about violence, adolescence, families, solitude and forgiveness.

Featured Interview With Vivian Wolkoff

Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I was born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I lived in Rio and Toronto. I have traveled some… but not nearly enough. I want to see more of the world, meet new people, and find new stories to inspire me.

I’ve always been in love with words… even before I learned how to read or write. I remember being a little girl and sneaking out of bed to pick up my favorite book (Rapunzel, by the way) and tracing the words. I remember, very clearly, I wanted to learn what each letter meant and how I could put them together for myself.

Once I learned how to read and write, there was no stopping me.

At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
When I was a little girl, I loved making up stories. My family has some great storytellers and I wanted to be like them. I don’t remember when I started telling stories. I just remember I started doing it, too. My dolls were always living adventures in distants corners of the world or were CEOs knee-deep in intrigue or they were saving worlds using magic or piloting spaceships. I used to tell myself stories all the time – and I’m still telling them.

Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
Oh, how long do you have? Because I could keep going all day.

I’ll read anything – which might explain why I genre hop so much when I write! I love Neil Gaiman, Edgar Allan Poe, and Jane Austen. I recently discovered Patricia Briggs and I’m reading her Mercy Thompson series and the Alpha &Omega series, too. I love The Night Circus, by Erin Morgenstern. I also draw inspiration from films. I majored in Film. It’s a big part of my life. I love Hitchcock and Billy Wilder. To bring things to here and now, I love Christopher Nolan’s work, as well as Guillermo Del Toro’s.

Tell us a little about your latest book?
My latest work, which comes out 01/15/2015, is Blood Red: The Complete First Season. It’s a serial. You can either read episodes one at a time or you can binge-read the whole season at once.

I love Fantasy – especially Urban Fantasy. Mostly, I always looked to TV and film to feed my Urban Fantasy fix. I used to be a huge True Blood fan. I wanted to find something like that in book form. I wanted a solid cast of characters with interesting plots – with a big serving of steam and action (of all kinds) on the side.

Like most writers, when I can’t find what I want to read, I write it.

Some writers are using serialized fiction for ebooks like popular writers used to write “paperbacks” back in the day: one single story broken into several smaller parts. I didn’t want to do that. I wanted to follow the lead of other writers, who are using serials as something like TV series in book format. I wanted a complex story. And I wanted meaty conflicts and characters for my story.

By the way, the first episode is free right now on Amazon, at http://amzn.to/1Hq3SAb! The link for the “Complete First Season of Blood Red is below!

Featured Interview With M.D. Luis

Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I’m a California girl, born and raised, and I still live there today. I hang in the SF Bay Area and am a devoted 49er fan. Don’t ask me about the 2014 season, I couldn’t tell you what happened. When I’m not writing, I’m taking care of four boys, one of whom is full-grown and sleeps next to me in bed. I love movies, the beach, tennis (which I suck at) and racing cars. Yes, racing cars and I suck at that too but it’s a hoot. I’m afraid of creepy clowns, ventriloquists and Bigfoot.

At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I had a fascination with books at an early age for sure. As a young girl, I read every book I could find that had a picture of a horse on the cover. Didn’t matter what it was about. If a horse was on the cover, I read it. I began writing after reading The Outsiders when I was thirteen years old. I read a small biography about S.E. Hinton and learned that she’d written that book as a teenager. I was fascinated. I couldn’t believe someone so young could write something so moving. I was determined to one up her. Yeah, that hasn’t happened yet. What can I say? The chick rocked it.

Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
I love suspense novels the most or mysteries. I just finished a James Patterson novel called Honeymoon. It was fun, exciting and a quick read. I love that kind of stuff. The kind of fast moving stories that I can easily picture in my head and require little thought on my part. Those books are fun and entertaining. I guess that’s why Patterson is so successful. I love Grisham too and the occasional sci-fi novel. I also like nonfiction. I just read a junior novel (yes, JUNIOR novel) about Lincoln’s assassination. I love my son’s Diary of A Wimpy Kid series too. Those books are hilarious! I don’t usually read the top-sellers. They seem to come out as a movie so quickly, I lose interest in the novel. Guess I need to read faster.

Tell us a little about your latest book?
I’m almost finished with my second novel, Rain. It’s part of The Aria Trilogy which I began publishing last summer. It’s a paranormal romance set in modern day times with a little action and mystery thrown in. One cannot have romance without action. It needs to be like a movie, ya know? Romance by itself is booooring. I’m hoping to have the third book written by summer 2015. It hasn’t been easy. I tried to go the traditional publishing route but it’s a discouraging rat race. I had some interest but in the end, they all said no. Publishers are leery of new authors. We’re sneaky, crabby and we steal the silverware. They don’t want us in their house. Lol.

Featured Interview With Kristi Porter

Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
Always a reader, Kristi Porter never thought much about writing until she entered a writing contest sponsored by the Detroit Free Press. Her nightmare vacation story – The Worst Vacation Ever – went on to be published in a travel anthology that sold over a million copies worldwide. This was followed by numerous articles published in local magazines and newspapers. As her love of writing grew, she added adult fiction and short humor pieces to her repertoire.

But writing isn’t all Kristi does. A preschool teacher, she won the Governor’s Award for her work with young children and is dedicated to the education of young children. She also enjoys bicycling, video games, photography, Facebook, and spending time with family. She lives in Michigan with her husband, son, and a menagerie of cats.

At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?

Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
I read almost everything! Except vampires. Hate vampire stories. 🙂

Tell us a little about your latest book?
Priceless Proverbs Book 2 continues where book one left off – with over one hundred additional kid quotes and illustrations. It is the result of hundreds of interviews with young children ages three to twelve, who were presented with the first half of a famous saying or proverb and then asked to finish it themselves.

It began as part of a larger class project by teacher Kristi Porter and the children of Happi Kamper Child Care, located in North Muskegon, Michigan. Each child was to create an individual gift book for his or her parents, and Priceless Proverbs was simply to be one chapter in each child’s book.

Now, the individual answers of the Happi Kamper Kids, as well as those of the children at Community United Methodist Preschool, and Power Play Childcare in N. Muskegon have been combined. Their diverse, candid, and uncensored answers may surprise you, or even make you laugh out loud, as you get a quick glimpse into the amazing and intricate minds of some of the most delightful and fascinating children around.

Featured Interview With Benjamin Westbrook

Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I was born in Germany and raised mainly in Texas. I left Texas for Colorado and now live in St. Louis, Missouri.

At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
When I was twelve years old, my parents gave me all of the S.E. Hinton novels in paperback for Christmas. I read “The Outsiders” in one day and has finished the collection within a week or so. I began writing shortly thereafter and have been doing so ever since.

Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
My favorite author is Tolstoy. He had a gift for picking up on people’s motivations. My favorite character is Levin, from “Anna Karenina”, because of his humanity. I also love Chekhov, Somerset Maugham, Michael Chabon, and Raymond Queneau. Each exhibited an ability to see people and to capture the simple complexities that make us who we are.

Tell us a little about your latest book?
My debut novel, “Infringement”, was released on Amazon in December. I began writing the novel after reading about the theater shooting in Aurora, Colorado. I wanted to examine evil and, more importantly, faith. After spending a few months researching and coming up with a general path for the story, I wrote the first chapter in April 2013.

During the course of writing “Infringement”, one of my children was diagnosed with leukemia, and I was faced with the darkest time in my life. Through that journey, I came to a better understanding of what faith in all circumstances entails and was able to use that experience in my writing. The journey of my main character, Declan Parker, is reminiscent of my own in that Declan is faced with darkness and evil, but finds a way through it by faith.

Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
H.G.WELLS is my favorite author. The Time Machine is a constant inspiration to me. I find myself navigating to post reads. I have always been fascinated with that genre and suspect I always will. My hubby is hands down the coolest man I know. Whenever I sit down to write he is always in my head. I guess you could say he is my muse.

Tell us a little about your latest book?
Hybrid is a SciFi-Fantasy-Romance novel. I found inspiration for the book while traveling the world. I visited many ancient sites which are linked to alien theories. Hybrid was born from my own personal adventures in traveling.

Featured Interview With Ken White

Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I was born in Stockton, California. I was raised in Modesto, California. I currently reside in Modesto, in the heart of the Great Central Valley. I no longer have pets.

At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
Second grade. I had wonderful teachers who encouraged a love of books. In fourth, fifth, and sixth grades, we did book reports each week. I have Mr. Leach’s weekly book reports to thank for my love of the written word.

Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
Ray Bradbury, Ernest Hemingway, and Jorge Luis Borges. I love fiction, especially historical fiction similar to James Michener. I also enjoy non-fiction, particularly the work of David McCullough. I am inspired by the Central Valley and the people who live here.

Tell us a little about your latest book?
“Getaway Day” was published in March 2014. In 1962, a California teen learns of his dying father’s dream to play catch with his idol, Yankee baseball legend Mickey Mantle. In a desperate race against time to fulfill his father’s wish, the boy discovers more about life, growing up, and family than he ever imagined.

“Nights on the Point” was published this past December. It’s the story of two friends who light out for the territories because life is in the doing. They decide it’s time to rage against the dying of the light, like Hope and Crosby on a mission from Hunter S. Thompson. They discover that uncertainty is the way of things; that there is no “there” there, only the beginning of a different journey.

Featured Interview With Barbara T. Cerny

Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I grew up in Grand Junction, Colorado, which at that time was a small town of 30,000 people. I left that little burg to see the world, garner three college degrees, and to serve in the US Army. After eight years on active duty and fourteen years in the reserves, I retired as a lieutenant colonel in 2007. While deployed to the Middle East in 2005, I finally figured out I had to get going on the real love of my life, writing. I wrote my first two novels during that time and haven’t stopped. I am presently working on novels number seven, eight, and nine. When not writing, I work as an information technology specialist and supervisor for the US Air Force. I live with my loving husband, our two active teenagers, two needy cats, and two turtles. The turtles patiently watch me write and listen to me intently as I discuss plot lines with them.

At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I have wanted to write since the second grade. I was always coming up with stories to tell my friends at lunch or on the bus rides to/from school. I wrote through high school – on the journalism team, in creative writing class, on the teen page for the city newspaper.
My first story, Of Angels and Orphans, rolled around in my head for nearly thirty years. Life eventually got in the way and writing was shoved to the side. “Someday, I will write…” You know how it goes.
Well, that someday came in the most unusual way. I am a retired lieutenant colonel in the US Army Reserves, a twenty-two year veteran in our military. And I, like hundreds of thousands before me, was called up by my country to serve in Southwest Asia (SWA) in support of Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom.
I left behind two small children, aged eight and five, and a husband, who overnight became chief, cook, bottle washer, mom and dad. I bless him every day for the sacrifices he made to keep the home fires burning. He took the brunt of the deployment, not me. I love him with all my being: my heart, my mind, my body, my soul. My love for him is where my ability to write about the love between my two main characters is born.
In SWA, I worked six days a week, twelve to thirteen hour days for twelve straight months. My day off was sometimes a day off, sometimes only six-to-eight hours of work. I lived Groundhog Day for three hundred sixty-five days.
But I had time on my hands. No kids, no responsibilities outside the mission, no cleaning the bathrooms, no cooking or grocery shopping. I just had to make my bunk and take the bus to work. I lived in an open bay barracks with forty-eight of my favorite friends, walking three buildings to a shower/toilet trailer in 115º heat.
When I first arrived, I read voraciously, downing four-five novels in a week. In January 2006, I was able to take a four-day break to Qatar and lay around reading seven novels. I read two romance novels in those four days, a genre I rarely read as I like Stephen King, Tom Clancy, Robert Ludlum, Clive Cussler, and their brand of book best.
So there I was, reading a romance novel and wondering why I was reading other people’s books when I had ‘Of Angels and Orphans’ still wandering around in my mind.
So I started to write. I wrote on my days off. I wrote on my evenings I wasn’t dancing – I taught ballroom and country dance lessons for the soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines on my camp. I worked directly for a general and when he wasn’t in, my workload was very light so I wrote when my boss went on leave, I wrote when my boss went on business travel. From the first week in February to the first weekend in June, I wrote that book that I had dreamed up so long ago.
Since I had written it in my head, every activity planned to the nth degree, it flowed very quickly. I wrote the meeting between Nate and Audra first and the two whippings, the wedding day, then the wagon train, then the final sword fight between Audra and her brother as they had been detailed greatly in my mind over the years. The rest filled in fast without problem.
Bottom line, deployment gave me the time I had pushed aside for almost three decades so I guess I have to say, “Thank you, Uncle Sam!” for giving me the chance to actually put the life of Audra Markham and Nathaniel Abbot on paper.

Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
My all time fav: Stephen King. Others: Tom Clancy, Robert Ludlum, Clive Cussler (he is SO out there it is fun!) Go figure that I write romances. My romance fans think I should stick to historical romances and my fantasy fans think I should do only fantasies. Truly, I write what comes to my head.

Tell us a little about your latest book?
“Branan Lachlan is transformed by the devil, betrayed by God, and made to battle demons with naught but his Scottish wit…”
My first paranormal, The Tiefling, will be published in the spring of 2015 by Assent Publishing. It is set in Scotland, 1053, and first person male. I really had to get in touch with my masculine side for that.

“Because of Hestia’s unspeakable betrayal, Zeus unwittingly creates his own mortal enemy and sets the path to his own destruction.”
The sequel to Shield of the Palidine, called Magic Thief of Gavalos, will be published in a couple of months. It is in text blocking at the moment with Strategic Publishing. I have two more in my head for the The Palidine Series so there will be four altogether. This is my first and, currently, only series.

I am also developing three new novels: one romance is set in Sweden in the 1600s (researching the 30 Years’ War for background history), a second is a modern murder mystery called The Walled Cat (you will have to read it to understand that strange name!), and a biography of an amazing woman I know. That biography is by far the hardest book I have written and will probably be the only non-fiction I will ever write. It takes a special kind of writer to do biographies and I don’t think I “have” it.

Featured Interview With Adri Sinclair

Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I am a 42 year old Afrikaans [South African] mother, wife and now… writer. I grew up in the Transvaal as the only girl among 4 boys. Needless to say, I had to cultivate a thick skin and a VERY good sense of humour – which I hope is well reflected in my writing.
We live in London, Uk – out of the City, in Epping Forest. I love London, and we have been here for 10 years now.
We have three cats – Schizophrenia, Domino and Chloe – though arguably my daughter fancies herself a bit of cat too!

At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
Oh I grew up with my Grandma and my Aunty, practically owning the local libraries on a continental basis. Though, reading as a young girl was not a priority, and I spend a lot of time in the school library from very early on.
I only started writing for myself – Mid 2013. Before then, I worked in online Media, where I had to write website content, promotions, news articles and blogs. Not very fun, but it paid the bills.
I started writing poetry in primary school, and enjoyed the tasks of writing essays for school projects. Of course, I wrote in Afrikaans then, as it is my native language – and only wrote in English from the age of 12 onwards. I never could get to grips with grammar, and while I still go through one course after another – sometimes my own enthusiasm and excitement over a new world, or idea trip me up and send me tumbling down the barbed wired fence of entangled grammar!

Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
You know, I will read anything put down. On the train, on a label, on a sticky note – I’m a little obsessive about words, and have been found to pick up pieces of torn paper just to read what was on them. [Sounds a bit creepy doesn’t it?! ]
I love Sir. T. Pratchett and Mr. N. Gaiman. Of course I enjoy Douglas Adams, and Adams Douglas. Two different authors, two different styles, both very funny. My shelves are filled with self published authors of late.
As for inspiration – my word the stuff is everywhere! I get excited over strange things – like a piece of string on the carpet, you can write an entire essay about the life of a string! Inspiration is not something I seek, it is something that finds me, I think. I try to look at the world without the jades adult shades on; often getting me into trouble might I add.
I think the world around us, and the people we associate with, are inspirational. You just have to choose the better genre for yourself.

Tell us a little about your latest book?
Oh! Hidden Carmina… It was meant to be a short story. I couldn’t stop writing. When it was finally ‘done’ – it wasn’t done at all. So I started on a second book, and finished a third. It became a series.

Carmina Nightshade is a 22 year old human girl who discovers the truth about her family and clan – they are not human.
To love eternally, she has to die, to die she has to live and to live… she has to learn the difference between Myth and Truth – if there is any. As life would have it, the voices she’s heard in her head since birth has a purpose far more sinister than just being annoying. When Carmina meets the big, dark-haired Liam Moretti, she turns the entire immortal world upside down – breaking all the rules and changing history as as they know it.

Featured Interview With Will Macmillan Jones

Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
Although I was born in the wonderful county of Lancashire, I’m lucky enough now to live and work in Wales, a land of myth, magic, mist and legendary beers. Oh wait, that’s a wrong note, isn’t it… I get more inspiration for my gags from single parenting a teenage daughter than she would like me to own up to on here!

At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
Oh, I’ve read since very young. My father was a primary school teacher ( a job he both loved and stuck to in order to annoy my mother) and he encouraged me to read as soon as possible. So I was off on Enid Blyton by the time i was five or six, all her stories about elves, dragons, wizards and the like. And whilst the material I like to read has grown up, I suspect that I have not…

Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
Fave authors is a tricky one. There are different genres I love, from Fantasy to humour and to historical fiction. Pushed to quote some, I’d point people at Nick Hornby for worthwhile general fiction, Lindsey Davis for historical fiction and for sheer out and out weirdness, Robert Rankin who refuses to allow plots to get in the way of a decent joke.

As a fantasy writer, I have of course to be in awe of Sir Terry Pratchett for his unequalled imagination and output

Tell us a little about your latest book?
The latest book I have out is the sixth in my fantasy collection, Have Frog Will Travel. I started writing The Banned Underground collection because I just love telling jokes ( I even take some of the material out as stand up comedy now), but I’ve now started to want to expand what I can do with the characters: so here one of the collections major characters, Grizelda the off-white witch (her laundry leaves a lot to be desired) is faced with an ethical dilemma, and starts to explore the concepts of Good and Bad as they might apply to her. As her confidants are either mad, drunk, vampires or anarchists, this proves an interesting challenge… but one she rises to overcome, with the aid of a collection of subtle gags and outrageous one-liners.

Featured Interview With Dawn Lee McKenna

Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I was raised all over Florida, then moved to Tennesee. I live in a town that’s big enough to have a Japanese restaurant, but small enough that you’ll see someone you know there.

I have five incredible kids, two of whom are grown and live just a few blocks away.

I’ve been working as a non-fiction ghostwriter for the last five years, but I’m hoping that 2015 is the year that I can make the move to writing my fiction fulltime.

I am an irredeemable romantic with a tendency to fall in love with Literary Dead Guys. They may be authors or characters, but they’re all entirely enchanting.

I’m also a coffee addict, a flawed but optimistic Christian, a clutz and a cancer survivor.

At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I don’t remember ever not reading. I gave up kids’ books when I was about eight and discovered Earl Stanley Gardner and Ian Fleming. Yeah. Then I fell headlong in love with Southern writers like Faulkner and Harper Lee and Erskine Caldwell.

I started writing stories when I was really little. But I lived at the movies. They were my sanctuary. So I started writing my own sanctuaries and finished my first screenplay when I was twelve. I wrote four more, bt I chickened out of a screenwriting/acting career. I didn’t want to be in Hollywood. I wanted a quiet, simple life. So I switched to novels.

Fiction was really really hard for me. I’m all about dialogue and creating narrative that I was happy with was a struggle. I wrote a romance novel back in the nineties, but it was just for fun and practice.

I finally found that writing in my own, slightly peculiar voice was the key. When I stopped trying to sound like a book, everything clicked.

Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
I read a really eclectic array of books and authors. I love Elisabeth Berg and Sue Monk Kidd. I think T.R. Pearson is the finest Souther writer today. I’m somehwat in love with Dave Robicheaux, so I’ve read all of those books from James Lee Burke.

When I want to be entertained, I’ll read a good thriller or legal thriller. I’m really enjoying a fellow indie and hometown boy, Scott Pratt. Great legal thrillers. But my true love will always be Southern fiction, in it’s various iterations.

Tell us a little about your latest book?
I just published my debut novel, “See You.”

It’s set in present-day, rural Alabama and is a story about two people named Jack & Emma. Emma was raised by her grandmother and so was Jack, twenty years earlier. He was the best friend of Emma’s dead father.

When Emma was growing up, Jack only came home once or twice a year, on leave from the Marine Corp, but Emma managed to fall in love with him, or at least with an idealized version of him.

The grandmother passes away ten years before the book begins and Jack never comes home again after that. At the start of the book, Emma is in her grandmother’s house, raising her own little girl. Jack comes home, initially just for a couple of days, and eneds up staying.

Very early in the story, Jack lets Emma know that he’s got myostatic astrocytoma, a brain tumor, and that he’s expected to be dead within a year. But he has a plan to hep Emma and her little girl and that plan involves him staying there in the house where both he and Emma grow up.

Jack also has a secret, a secret he swore to Emma’s grandmother that he would never tell Emma.

The story is about making a conscious choice to allow something to break your heart, because it’s so worth having, even for just a little while. It’s also about redemption and forgiving yourself.

It sounds like a sad tale, but there’s an awful lot of humor and joy and it’s also hugely romantic. Readers tell me they often laughed and cried at the same time, and that’s the best compliment they could give me.

Featured Interview With Mary D. Brooks

Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I was raised in Sydney, Australia where I’m still living. I don’t have any pets other than a stray kitty that comes by and eats the food I leave out for her.

At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I was five years old and my older sister would read to me the Little Golden Books which fascinated me. I was eight years old when I wrote my first short story. I was beside myself with joy that I could create stories as well as read them.

Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
I adore Agatha Christie, PD James, Peter David, Kathy Reichs and so many other great authors. My favourite genre is Murder and Mysteries.

When I was 14/15 years old I read a novel called I am Rosemarie by Marietta Moskin that inspired and transformed my way of thinking. Any writer who can do that to a teenager is inspirational – to change a person’s point of view for the better is amazing.

Tell us a little about your latest book?
My latest book is called “Awakenings” and it’s a continuation of a series that started in a small Greek town under German occupation in World War II in 1942. They meet from opposite ends of the conflict. Together they worked for the Resistance and eventually fell in love. I wanted to take Eva and Zoe (my main characters) back to Larissa (Greece) and Berlin (Germany) and have them deal with their memories. Along the way they find out not everything is the way they remember it or the truth is what they think it is.

Eva was the daughter of the German commander in charge of the Greek village and was taken into a war zone by her sadistic father. He terrorized the young woman after finding out she was a lesbian and sent to her to an Austrian medical facility where her uncle was doing research on eliminating “undesirable” character traits using shock therapy and drugs. From there Eva had to deal with the anguish all the while working for the Resistance against her father.

Zoe, the other main character, was a teenager when the Germans invaded her village. Her brothers all died fighting the Italians and she was left with her mother on the farm. In a show of brutality the Germans executed her mother causing Zoe to vow to kill as many Germans as she could and one in particular. She set her sights on killing Eva because she thought the woman laughed while her mother lay dying in the mud.

Forced to work together in the Resistance, they developed a friendship and eventually shared a kiss. Now it’s years later and half a world away where they migrated to Australia after they survived the war.

They have to go back to Greece to reclaim Zoe’s property at the behest of the Greek government or lose it. In Larissa, they encounter memories they both wanted to forget and secrets they never knew existed.

Featured Interview With Micheal Maxwell

Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I was raised in the Central Valley of California. I am still in the heart of the great Dust Bowl Refugee arrival enclave. The culture of the Okies, the Mexicans and other inhabitants of the Big Valley is a rich heritage that I cherish. It is also a good place to be from, and I travel along with my wife a much as possible. Those travels and the people we’ve met play an important part it my writing.

I no longer have a pet. My wonderful dog Sushi died a while back and can’t be replaced. We travel a lot and a new pet would be a problem.

At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
It is a widely held legend in my family that I was reading when I went to kindergarten. I wrote my first story in first grade. Since then I have written for my own enjoyment and for publication, grade school, high school, and college I always jumped at the chance to be included in literary journals. I’ve written record and movie reviews for magazines. I’ve written short stories for my own entertainment over the years. Then I decided to try my hand a a full length book and i was hooked.

Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
I have three go to authors when I just want great writing wrapped around me like a warm blanket; Charles Dickens, Robertson Davies and John Jakes. I love Mysteries and for me there are none better than: Stewart M. Kaminsky, Peter Lovesey and the Master, Arthur Conan Doyle.

I believe reading Robertson Davies, 5th Business gave me a voice. I felt such an amazing connection to his words it was if he was say, “Here, this is how you do it.” Since then I read re-read every Davies novel at least three time. I lost count on 5th Business.

Tell us a little about your latest book?
Cole Shoot is the fifth in the Cole Sage Mystery Series. I really think this book is a turning point in the life of our hero Cole Sage. From Diamonds and Cole on, Cole has been on a personal, professional, and spiritual journey. In Cole Shoot he faces the very real possibility that he may be sacrificing everything to save the life of someone very special to him. The tag line for this book is, “Where does justice end and vengeance begin”. I think we have all questioned how far we would go to save a loved one. Cole faces that and a lot more in this book. Is it enough to win or do we need that pound of flesh to make things even? Readers of the series will be happy to see some old friends from previous book pay a return visit. Cole Shoot took nearly a year to complete. The sixth book in the series, Cole Fire, which will be quite a bit longer, is nearly a quarter written and I’ve only been working on it a month! Thanks to the support of readers Cole is fired up and ready for acton.

Featured Interview With Morgan St. James

Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I was born in Chicago, IL and from the time I was a little kid I loved to read, and I loved mysteries. My little girlfriends and I formed what we called “The Mystery Club” and tried to investigate all of the neighbors until they called our parents with outraged complaints. We moved to California when I was 13, and I spent most of my life in Los Angeles, although I traveled extensively, domestically and out-of-the-country.

At various times I did business in Las Vegas NV, sometimes staying for several days, and knew I wanted to live there. This is the second time I’ve lived in Las Vegas. The first was during Desert Storm when all of my business deals fell apart due to the war and I moved back to L.A. I’ve owned a home in Las Vegas for 12 years and lived her full time for 2 years.

Now I live in a nice residential community in Las Vegas with my husband and rescue dog, Dylan. I think Dylan features himself as my muse and has claimed a spot under my desk as his favorite place.

At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I was reading at an eighth grade level in the third grade, but never pictured myself producing books. As an adult I went through many professions, ranging from secretary to administrative assistant and office manager in everything from working for a theatrical business manager to attorneys and the aerospace business. I worked in the travel business as a VP of marketing, spent 20 years as an interior designer, co-owned a marketing and promotion company for 5 years, and acted as design liaison for the interiors of fast food chains and coffee shop chains throughout the eleven western states. My last job was as a manufacturer’s rep for furniture manufactured in federal prisons, which was the inspiration for my book “Ripoff.” It is almost an understatement to say my background is varied.

However, all of those experiences are a treasure trove to draw from for the books I write. My writing career began with writing articles for an interior design magazine back in the late 70s. From there I wrote other types of articles for various publications, both magazines and newspapers. In the mid 90s my sister Phyllice Bradner, also a published writer at the time, and I embarked on the path that eventually resulted in our funny Silver Sisters Mysteries series. I’ve written with other co-authors as well as on my own, and currently claim 12 books and over 600 articles about the business and craft of writing. I co-host the Writers Tricks of the Trade radio show on Blog Talk Radio on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month at 6pm PST/9pm EST, and also publish the Writers Tricks of the Trade eZine bi-monthly.

As the consummate workaholic, I’m always working on something. The current projection is for three to four new books to be released in 2015. Two Silver Sisters Mysteries, and two books written with true crime author Dennis N. Griffin.

Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
I am always inspired by authors whose style is “tight” — no tangents that go nowhere and divert you from the story that has captured your attention. My tastes are a bit eclectic and some of the choices generally appeal more to males, like action-adventure books. I also love funny mysteries, interesting biographies and humor. Some of my favorite authors are Robert Crais, Michael Connelley, Lee Childs, Nelson DeMille and Sue Grafton, Sara Paretsky, and the list goes on. Inspiration for the Silver Sisters Mysteries came from reading books like those from Mary Daheim, the late Anne George (to whom our writing has been compared), Janet Evanovich, Mary Higgins Clark and authors of cozy or funny mysteries that were not silly, but funny and intriguing.

Tell us a little about your latest book?
The latest book to be released is the Silver Sisters Mystery “Terror in a Teapot.” The Silver sisters, zany identical twins Goldie Silver–an over-the-hill flower child who owns an antique store in Juneau, Alaska and Godiva Olivia DuBois, a wealthy Beverly Hills widow who writes the syndicated “Ask G.O.D.” advice to the lovelorn column, are busy tracking the bumbling but dangerous Dumkovsky brothers. Goldie receives the wrong shipment of antique samovars (Russian tea dispensers) at her shop in Juneau. They are exquisite and sell quickly. By the end of the day, all but one are gone. Then, just as she is about to close, the Dumkovsky thugs, fresh from Vladivostok, Russia, appear at her shop threatening her and demanding the tainted teapots. They leave when the police are called, telling Goldie, “We be back.” People who bought the samovars begin to die.

Godiva is visiting Goldie so she can attend Goldie’s outlandish mother-in-law Belle Pepper’s 75th birthday bash. The scenes in Juneau are sprinkled with quirky characters and well-described locations drawn from co-author Phyllice Bradner’s 30 years spent living in Juneau. When the twins track the Dumkovskys to Seattle, they are joined in the hunt by their octogenarian mother and uncle, former vaudeville magicians who love to dress in disguise and go undercover. The oldsters are in Seattle to accept an award at the Icons of Illusion banquet. With the trail of dead bodies growing, the hunt moves to L.A. Everyone who bought one of the cursed samovars is in danger, and Godiva’s boyfriend, TV chef Caesar Romano of the “Flirting with Food” show, is no exception.

Get ready for a fast-paced, funny mystery with lots of twists and turns, the wacky names that have become a trademark in this series, and a surprise at the end.

I was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri. I am the only girl of six boys and I am a huge sports fan. I love to travel and I am very adventurous. My passions are writing and graphic design. I am a true artist and love all aspects of it. I still reside in St. Louis, MO but will eventually be relocating.

At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I’ve always loved to read. I remember getting so excited with the book mobile would come to my school. It was a chance for me to get more Berenstain Bears and Nancy Drew books. My mom loves to read so I think I got it honestly. I actually realized I loved writing in high school. I took a creative writing class and I loved it so from that point on I started writing down my thoughts and feelings.

Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
I read a lot of different authors. I love Eric Jerome Dickey, Francis Ray, Zane, Mary B. Morrison, Carl Weber and Anais Nin. I don’t really have a favorite genre because I love to read different story plots. I would have to say all of the authors I’ve named inspired me in some way. From story plots and character development I love how they have evolved over the years through their writing.

Tell us a little about your latest book?
My latest book is called Who Do You Love and it’s about a girl name Rylee who is discovering who she is as a woman. She has just moved away from her mother so that she can establish her own sense of independence. In doing that she has also tapped into her newfound sexuality and the liberation within it. Unfortunately, in discovering it she has found herself in somewhat of a sticky situation with a couple of the tenants.
