Top Selling Authors: Get To Know Them Better

Featured Interview With Dorothy A. Winsor

Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I’m originally from Detroit. My father was Canadian, so I have relatives on both sides of the Detroit River. I lived for a number of years in Iowa, while I taught in the English Department at Iowa State University, but now I live in the Chicago area. I loved my students at ISU but I’m a city girl at heart.

My son lives nearby. He takes in shelter dogs, so I’m lucky enough to have grand dogs!

At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I always read a lot. When I was a kid, my mother tried to make me spend more time outdoors by limiting me to five chapters a day. My dissertation was on the English novel. But I never thought I was creative enough to write. That changed after the Lord of the Rings movies came out, entrancing me and then driving me to read and write fanfiction. I wrote a literal million words of fanfic. One site kept track so I knew when I hit that number. Some author says you have to write a million words of weak writing before you’ve learned enough to write something good. So at that point I decided to launch into my own stuff.

Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
My favorite authors and genres vary. Sometimes I binge on one genre and then have to switch to another one because everything is starting to sound the same. But my favorites list always includes Jane Austen. At the moment, it also includes Megan Whalen Turner, Louise Penny, and Fredrick Backman. They’re all entertaining. They also all deepen my understanding of what goes on in the human heart. They all have a sense of place. They all surprise me.

Tell us a little about your latest book?
My newest YA fantasy, THE WYSMAN, comes out from Inspired Quill on June 27, 2020. Here’s a blurb for it:

“The Grabber is just a fright tale.”

Former street kid Jarka was born with a crooked foot and uses a crutch, but that no longer matters now that he’s an apprentice Wysman, training to advise the king. When poor kids start to go missing from the city’s streets, though, Jarka suspects that whatever’s causing the disappearances comes from the castle.

Now he needs to watch his step or risk losing the position he fought so hard to win… but when someone close to him becomes the latest victim, Jarka knows he’s running out of time.

His search takes him from diving into ancient history to standing up to those who want to beat or bleed the magic out of him.

Will Jarka succeed in uncovering an evil long-hidden, or will he see friends and family vanish into the darkness? And whose side is the King on, in his determination to bind his nobles to him no matter what black arts they’ve dabbled in? If Jarka fails in his search, his own future won’t be the worst thing lost.

I don’t know how long it took me to write THE WYSMAN. It depends on what you count. I have drafts dating from six or seven years ago. I kept working on it, deciding it wasn’t good enough, setting it aside, and then coming back to it after I’d have a chance to learn some more about writing. I couldn’t let the character of Jarka go. I want other people to read about him and love him and respect him! He deserves it.

Featured Interview With Alice Vachss

Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
Having written and had published 424 pages about myself, it seems too vain to use this space to add even more.

At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
Unlike most people, I did not ever imagine myself as an author. When I sat down to write “Sex Crimes” it was because it was a story that needed to be told and I was the only one who could tell it.

Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
There are so many writers I am indebted to, two in particular are Charles de Lint for using me and my husband for inspiration in “Promises to Keep” and Barry Eisler for crediting “Sex Crimes” with inspiring “Livia Lone”.

Tell us a little about your latest book?
“Sex Crimes: Then and Now” is a 2-book autobiography of my career as one of the most controversial prosecutors in America. It is peopled by heroes and villains. It is their stories — much more than my own — that you need to hear.

During the pandemic, I hope the battles and the breathtaking acts of courage I witnessed will inspire kindred spirits to use this time to prepare to join this war.

I’m keeping the price reduced 60% until we can all return to our paths.

Featured Interview With Daniel Stride

Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I was born in Greymouth, New Zealand. I’ve now worked my way up to… Dunedin, New Zealand – a city whose most prominent appearance in literature is in a H.P. Lovecraft story.

No current pets, though I am definitely a cat person.

At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I’ve always been a big reader, especially of speculative fiction (*cough* Tolkien *cough*). I came to writing a bit later – in fact, my entry into writing was actually poetry, not prose.

Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
My favourite author is J.R.R. Tolkien, though I make a point of steering well clear of conscious Tolkienian influences. My first novel, Wise Phuul, was heavily inspired by Mervyn Peake’s Gormenghast, and by Clark Ashton Smith’s 1930s pulp dark-fantasy. As you can see, I like speculative fiction… though I try to read broadly. Last year I interspersed a read of Dante’s Divine Comedy with Agatha Christie.

Tell us a little about your latest book?
I currently only have one novel out, though I have a dozen or so short stories out there. The premise of Wise Phuul is that it is set in a world where necromancy – the art of raising the dead – is a universal ability, to the point where it is taught in schools like mathematics. Our protagonist is a low-level necromancer who works at the local library, making sure the undead stack the shelves correctly… before he is dragged into political shenanigans.

Featured Interview With Mark Cantrell

Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
Until recently, I was working as a journalist in Manchester, UK, but I stepped down at the end of March to focus more on caring for my father.

He’s 93, has dementia and COPD (among other things), so it was getting a bit much coping with his care needs on top of commuting to what was a pretty intensive day job.

I was working my notice when the whole coronavirus lockdown thing swept over us. Talk about impeccable timing. Still, there’s time to write.

Originally, I’m from Yorkshire. I was born and grew up in Bradford, but these days I live in Stoke-on-Trent in Staffordshire. Quite how I ended up here is a long story, but I’m still very much a Tyke.

No pets these days, although I grew up with an extended family of cats, dogs, guinea pigs, rabbits and goldfish. Oh, there were some stick insects along the way too. All that said, I do have to muck out and feed the Dad — not sure that counts, though.

At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
Hard to say. The answer is largely lost in the mists of time. I’ve been an avid reader as long as I can remember. The same goes for my regard to books as a physical object: the smell, the texture, the weight and feel of the book, the look of the typography, the sheer sense of presence. A physical book is a sensual thing.

Digital books are fine for the everyday practicality of reading, but they lack the vitality of paper, I feel.

My first forays into creative writing began in around 1985, when I started writing text adventure games for the ZX Spectrum computer. About four years later I started writing my first articles, mostly programming tips for games writers, which helped trigger my interest in journalism as a career.

Then, in 1990, I realised a long-held but little-entertained aspiration to write fiction, when I wrote my first short story. I borrowed a leftover idea from a never-started adventure game. It wasn’t great, but it got me started.

I’d been inspired to take the plunge after meeting an author and talking to him about his work. I guess I caught the bug off him.

Since then, I’ve ploughed on with the journalism, written a lot of short fiction, and four novels overall. Two of these are published with Inspired Quill, Silas Morlock (2013) and Citizen Zero (2017). Both are broadly dystopian tales, but the first is something of a dark urban fantasy, while the second leans more towards science fiction thriller.

By and large, I’m regarded as a science fiction and horror writer. These are labels I’m happy to work under, as they reflect my reading tastes. The thing is, I tend to write to my ideas and worry about genre later.

Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
Tricky question to answer. Authors tend to factor little when it comes to the books that hook my interest (I probably shouldn’t say that, being an author myself). There are a lot of books I’ve read and enjoyed over the years, but I couldn’t tell you who wrote them.

That said, over time and exposure to their works, I do become familiar with particular authors but it’s still the book that comes first. Name familiarity might help the book catch my attention, but it’s still the individual book that has to pique my interest.

Authors who have carved out a niche in my mind include (in no particular order or chronology) Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman, Peter F Hamilton, Gareth L Powell, Alastair Reynolds, Ann Macaffrey, Ursula K Le Guin, Jen Williams, Anne Rice, James Herbert, Tad Williams, and William Gibson.

You can probably guess from that list my favourite genre is science fiction, although I don’t tend to think in terms of ‘favourite’; more what I am naturally drawn to, if that makes sense. Fantasy and horror tend to jostle with each other for second place.

I think all the writers I’ve named above have inspired me in one way or another. The list, of course, is far from exhaustive, but they’ve all fed or nurtured that desire to chase the literary dream.

Tell us a little about your latest book?
My latest book is Citizen Zero, a science fiction thriller in the dystopian mould. It wants to make the reader think, as much as it immerses them in a damn good story, by offering a speculative excursion into a future we’re making today.

The story is set in a near-future Britain, where AI has devastated jobs, civil liberties have been surrendered for the illusion of security, and a bitter divide between rich and poor is policed by a system of high-tech surveillance. Social security has been turned on its head, with what’s left of the Welfare State re-tasked to contain and control an urban underclass — the zeros — along with those nominal citizens still clinging to precarious employment.

On the surface, it’s a prosperous consumer society, but behind the facade a political conspiracy is brewing to topple the Prime Minister’s authoritarian regime. One of his own is plotting against him. This is a surveillance society blind where it matters most.

That’s where our protagonist David comes in. He’s unemployed and on his last legs when he’s recruited to take part in the revolutionary JobNet scheme. This places him in a virtual reality world designed, he’s told, to give him every chance to turn his life around. It seems too good to be true, but against all expectations he finds his prospects looking up.

Unfortunately he’s carrying something that will make a mockery of his dreams, and shatter the society that made him. A hapless pawn in the conspiracy, he is unaware until it is too late that he is the carrier of a deadly virus designed to destroy AI systems.

When the virus strikes, David finds himself trapped inside a broken reality, struggling to survive. In the real world, meanwhile, as the virus unravels the machinery of his surveillance state, the PM fights to maintain his grip on power. The country descends into chaos.

But in the ruins of JobNet, a secret lurks. It’s going to turn a pawn into a player, if he can survive. Poor David holds the fates of two worlds in his head.

If this sounds convoluted, trust me, it makes sense; I just don’t want to give too much away. For want of a quick comparison, I tend to describe it as the The Matrix meets V for Vendetta with a bit of I, Daniel Blake thrown in. For those that don’t know the last one, it’s a Ken Loach movie — look it up and you’ll get the idea.

The novel took me around six years to write. Despite being published after Silas Morlock, it was actually written before. I started it in 1994, and then on and off worked it to completion in May 2001. It’s always struck me as amusing and ironic that it predates Google, Facebook, smartphones and so many other icons of our age.

Of course, when Inspired Quill picked up the novel for publication, we worked to bring the everyday tech up to date to account for these things. It’s made the novel all the stronger, but its primary themes remain timeless.

Featured Interview With Carl Hare

Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I was born and raised in Edmonton, where later I obtained two degrees in English from the University of Alberta. And with my late wife, I have lived in many places—Victoria, Vancouver, Saskatoon, Montreal, London and Paris. Now I live in Kelowna, BC. No pets here (allergies in the family) but all my life I have had dogs as pets until we went back to Edmonton. In Victoria we had a cockapoo. One day I had been rehearsing, and when I came back there was this puppy. “We’re going to call her Prometheus because that’s the play you’re doing,” announced the breathless family. “We can’t call her Prometheus, she’s female. She must be called Promethea.” And so she was. And when the children were called home for dinner, the neighbors heard called “Moira, Donovan, Kevin, Promethea!” Fortunately, they all came home.

At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I’ve loved books since I was a small child. My mother read to me and got a series of books for me. She even cut out and collected the coloured Walt Disney comics in the magazines or papers, carefully scotch-taped them back to back, then strung a shoelace through them and protected them with hardboard covers. I’m looking at them as I tell you this; they are now seventy years old. When I was old enough, I used to walk to the comfortable old library on the South Side of Edmonton and find each week new books from the children’s section. As I got a little older the series I loved was the one begun with The Wizard of Oz—there are at least forty different volumes, the first seventeen written by the originator, L Frank Baum, who really had the sharpest sense of humour. In my teens, it was pocketbook and pulp magazine time. From the first, I read all of the Perry Mason and Ellery Queen and The Saint series. From the second I was fascinated with Amazing Stories and similar sci-fi pulp magazines.

But the strongest fascination exploded a few days before I wrote my Grade Twelve exams. I happened to read a play by George Bernard Shaw, and I was ablaze with wonder and fascination at the power of his language. When I finished it, I took a breath, and then for a week, day and night, I read all fifty-four of his plays and prologues. There is an old acting saying: If you can play Shakespeare and Shaw, you can play anything in the repertory. It’s true.

Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
Every time I write such a list, I tend to indicate different authors. But there are some that are always there. Shakespeare, Shaw, and Brecht, of course. But Yeats, and Seamus Heaney, and Sean O’Casey, and Dylan Thomas, P.K. Page, Lorna Crozier….

I don’t have one favorite genre. I’m still partial to sci-fi and fantasy, drama, and poetry as well. When I get time, I’m going to look at the great novelists of the past—George Eliot is one, and of course James Joyce. It all depends on mood and ambition—I actually read War and Peace.

Who inspires you in your writing?
There is no one writer that inspires me, with the exception, of course, of Shakespeare. I can admire writers and their craft, and can be moved, or exalted, or furious, or helpless with laughter from what they write. But what I appreciate in them is their fearless exploration. They educate me, but what inspires me in what I write is what I see around me, inside, outside, what I see people do, sense what they feel and think, how they and all of us interact, what holds this fragile bond together, and what comes into my mind and imagination that forces me to write, what to write, how to write it. And that can be both inspiring and exhausting, And worth it.

Tell us a little about your latest book?
It starts with an accident. Twenty-seven years ago I was on a tour of the Fringe Festivals with my son, who is a professional actor. I had directed him in a one-man show, Kings, based on the first two books of The Iliad as adapted by the English poet Christopher Logue. We had arrived in Winnipeg, and I discovered to my horror that I had run out of science fiction to read. Fortunately, there was an old bookstore next to where the Fringe was located. I went there, and by accident or fortune, came across The Collected Poems of Edmund Spenser. Now, when I was in English Honours I had to read some of Spenser but had read very little of his epic poem The Fairie Queene. And a forty-year tinge of guilt afflicted me, and I bought those collected poems. I did read the whole epic; but I also read his biography. In it I discovered to my astonishment and horror that while he was writing his epic, which deals with the great virtues, he was also writing a treatise essentially advocating the genocide of the Irish. What was I to think? Here was one of the greatest poets, speaking with the tongue of angels, simultaneously holding in his mind the virtues and genocide.

And I have been pondering this for the last twenty-seven years. My present book, Spenser, is the second book of a poetic trilogy, On the River of Time. The trilogy covers a span of 3,000 years and deals with the struggles of three men. The first book, Odysseus, relates the second voyage of the hero, forced on him by the god Poseidon. Book Two, Spenser, describes the last four months of his life and his memories of the past. Book Three, Archer, begins in 2005 and describes the journeys of Ray Archer, actor and director, who leads his company across the country in King Lear and is also collecting material for a gigantic production of all of the history of this country, which is created and performed in the second part across the country again, and then is invited to tour in Ireland, with which the third part is concerned. This last volume is in draft form at the moment.

Above and beyond the plots, the plays also contain multitudes of characters who are well known: in Book One, Odysseus’ family, veterans and others involved in the Trojan War, including Menelaos, Helen, Orestes, Electra; in Book Two, Queen Elizabeth, Walsingham, the Earl of Essex, Walter Ralegh, and many others. Book Three will have familiar figures as well, but you will have to wait until publication.

Featured Interview With Scott Coon

Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I was born in Los Angeles, but my family moved back to Pennsylvania when I was still an infant. I grew up on the east coast. Then I traveled the world for the Army and traveled America for software companies. Now, years later, I am back in Los Angeles, where I was born but had never lived until now. I share my life with my cats Hank, Logan, and Princess.

At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
Writing began for me in the third grade. I wrote poetry about chess and Norse mythology. With no writers in my life, I have no idea what inspired this. My first submission was an article for “Dragon” magazine. They rejected it of course. But I was on my way! …sort of. In high school, my senior year creative writing project was an Ann Rice clone. While reading weekly chapters to the class, no one seemed to be listening. But late in the school year, the novel reached a scene where two vampires were sentenced to death by sunlight. As a door opened to reveal their sun-bleached bones, someone yelled, “Hey! Why did you kill them? They never did anything wrong.” I was surprised and flattered. And hooked. I wanted to be a writer. It wasn’t until 2006 that I was finally published by Nth Degree Magazine. It was story about a psychic computer hacker. What’s that mean? Read it from my published stories page.

Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
I am a Kurt Vonnegut fan. My favorite is Hocus Pocus but Cat’s Cradle and Galapagos have always stuck with me. I am also an Ann Rice fan and Stephen King is an amazing author, especially when he writes something like The Long Walk.

Tell us a little about your latest book?
Growing up in a space station, DJ dreams of writing music but he can’t make a living on it, not in the Stone River Asteroid Belt. Thanks to company’s never-ending contracts and impossible to afford transit, leaving isn’t an option. DJ expects to end up working for Black Mountain, just like his dad and everyone else. When his father goes missing, DJ finds an encrypted file and other evidence that his dad was a hacker in the company’s secret war of industrial sabotage, sometimes claiming lives to knock competitors off the most valuable asteroids. To recover the evidence, the company sends a lifelong family friend, Agent Coreman. DJ is forced to make a run for it, hoping to find justice and maybe his dad.

Tell us a little about your latest book?
The 9 colours of Vibrant Women is an inspirational sequel of the book, A Journey in Search of Happiness and it urges everyone to be strong and passionate to live a meaningful and extra-ordinary life. The book emphasizes on the need for special personality traits in millennial women.

A loving mother, Shivani, consoles her teenage daughter, Anila, who suffers from depression after losing her school friend, Nirbhaya, to a sexual assault. Inspired by NAVARATRI celebrations, Shivani tries to encourage her daughter to incubate NINE TRAITS, correlating them with each of the nine avatars of goddess Durga. She associates the key traits required for a vibrant woman with NINE COLOURS and explains the need for fostering SITUATIONAL SELF-LEADERSHIP to nurture inner-self.

On each night of Navaratri, the mother MOTIVATES her daughter to develop a specific quality within herself by narrating five real-life examples of EXCEPTIONAL women personalities. Mother’s teachings help Anila TRANSFORM herself. At the end, what does Anila do as a tribute to her friend? How does it change India? That is for the readers to explore.

The book, though uses a festival in the background, provides an agnostic message about the need for diverse personality traits and urges readers to discover the value of self-leadership. This book would serve as an INSPIRATIONAL AID for personal growth – to live up to our dreams by realizing our passion and potential.

With 45+ real life examples of game-changer INDIAN WOMEN PERSONALITIES, the book portrays how a woman can lead a fulfilling life by pursuing their PASSION.

Featured Interview With Nancy M Bell

Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
Hi Everyone, I was grew up in West Hill on the outskirts of Toronto but have lived in Alberta for over 25 years. I love the west but I do miss the Muskokas and cottage country in Ontario. And the lakes, oh my I miss those lakes. I have 5 cats, 2 dogs and 3 horses currently, but as I work for an animal rescue in Calgary there are always foster animals joining the pack. My books inevitably include horses and dogs as either catalysts to drive the plot forward or as minor characters. In A Step Beyond, the big grey stallion Alim steals a lot of scenes. The Longview Romance series centres around Storm, a rescue dog who helps bring my two main characters together.

At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
As young as three I remember knowing the story of Tonka Wonka the Great One off by heart because my grandmother used to read to us every night before bed. That and the beginning paragraph of Black Beauty are among my earliest memories. I’ve been scribbling words on paper for as long as I can remember. Poems, short stories, random ramblings…I still have them, written in a childish cursive hand. My first publication was in the local newspaper the Scarborough Mirror while I was in grade school. They published a short story or two of mine.

Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
I love Charles de Lint, his urban fantasy mixes Celtic mythology with the every day world. Mercedes Lackey is another favourite and just for a change Patrick Taylor’s Irish Country series. I read most everything except horror and thriller. There are enough monsters in the world today with my giving them extra power by reading about them. I’m inspired by the world around me and my connection to it. The dynamics of relationships and the courage and generosity of heart of the animals who share out world.

Tell us a little about your latest book?
Dead Dogs Talk is the second in the Alberta Adventures series. The first is Wild Horse Rescue where Laurel Rowan and friends defy the rules to save a band of wild horses from being rounded up and shipped for meat. Dead Dogs Talk features the same group of characters trying to save some dogs from a dog fighting ring and expose a group of puppy mills. It’s not all doom and gloom and there is some angst and romance involved. Not to mention the glorious backdrop of ranch life in southern Alberta. This is work in progress, anticipated release date is September 2020. It’s taken me almost a year to bring this work to fruition. Laurel and her friend Carly are out checking cattle in the fall when they come across an injured dog near a gravel range road and then another dog nearby who didn’t make it. Carly’s brother Chance comes reluctantly to the rescue. He harbours unrequited feelings toward Laurel and is running with a rough crowd, but he does show up and takes Laurel and the dog to the vet clinic. Showing a softer side reminiscent of the boy Laurel used to count as a close friend, he gives the injured dog the name of his childhood Darby.

Featured Interview With Sunidhi Raiya

Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I have been living in the capital city of New Delhi, India since childhood. I have completed my education here. My interests in writing developed here only while i was in 8th standard. I haven’t stopped working towards being better since then. I have a little munchkin, my dog, Shaggy.

At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I was little when i learned i could write. It actually began from a school poetry writing contest. I still remember how much i enjoyed it. My soul has made a sweet home in my words since then. I can relate to words. I apply them in my real life. Words inspire me to become a better version of me. Afterall, what are we if not collection of words ourselves.

Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
My favourite authors are plenty. I have been a reader since the time i remember. I love Sidney Sheldon, Agatha Christie, John Green, Danielle Steel, Victoria Aveyard, Twinkle Khanna, Sudha Murthy, Durjoy Datta, Stephen King and so many more.

I am a person who is easily influenced by books. I would say each book i read leaves a part of it in me. I am inspired by everything. I have build a habit of taking selective quotes or paragraph from each book and keep it with me, apply it practically in my life always.

Tell us a little about your latest book?
The latest book, I participated in was an anthology, a collection of poetry, compiled by Randhir Kaur. My poetries were published in it. It’s available on kindle and amazon.

Featured Interview With Brent Tyler

Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
“Let me tell you a few things about myself. Since moving to France, I have compared my life to that of a ball spinning on a roulette wheel. I have absolutely no idea where I am going to land up next and it still comes as a complete surprise when I find myself there. Debbie and I have been living in France now for nine years and in each of those nine years we have spent Christmas in a different place.”

“My father was a man who found it very difficult to settle in a job, so much so that when he got up in the morning, his mother used to say ‘What are you going to be today, son?’ Perhaps, it is no wonder that my CV is, how shall I say, so chequered.”

“I live in the south of France with my lovely wife, Debbie, where we seem to hop from working for one stupidly rich lunatic to the next.”

“During our time here we have been adopted by a wonderful dog, Guss, who is not only an amazing footballer but is also both adorable and affectionate. I have never seen a dog who understands people so well and can melt hearts within moments of meeting him.”

“My short-term memory is a shocker and although I have no problem recalling people’s faces, mannerisms and moods, extremely vividly, I couldn’t tell you the colour of the walls in this room, as I type. I have never kept a diary but as someone once put it, I don’t bear a grudge, I just remember the facts.”

“In my spare time I like to walk the hound, write, play games and eat nice food. I am useless with technology. I have no idea what an app is and haven’t a clue how to use social media. I don’t own a Smartphone – I have a brick.”

“I began to write my first book, Cookham to Cannes as I was sitting in our living room in La Garde Freinet. It, perhaps, sounds a cliché but I have always thought that I didn’t write the book – it wrote me. Sometimes, I think that things that happen to you in life can be so astonishing and unbelievable that there is no other way but to commit those thoughts to paper. It’s taken me three years to complete but I think it was worth it. Besides, writing the book was so much cheaper than seeing a psychiatrist.”

At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
To be perfectly honest I don’t have a fascination with books – I just enjoy writing. I started writing around twenty years ago. My wife, Debbie, and I owned a food magazine.

Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
As I’ve said, I really don’t read books – I read a lot of newspapers. If I had to pick a favourite genre it would be autobiographies. I find people’s lives much more fascinating than fiction. The people that inspire me to write are the people that I come into contact with on a daily basis.

Tell us a little about your latest book?

Featured Interview With E. R. Yatscoff

Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
Edward Yatscoff was born in the Niagara Peninsula and now resides Alberta, Canada. He’s backpacked the world, visited six continents, and lived in Australia. From steelworker to assembly lines to construction work he finally settled down to a 32-year career as a firefighter. He’s played drums in a Big Band, climbed the Great Wall of China (Jinshanling section) , honeymooned during the Grenada Revolution, snorkeled with a marlin, tried smuggling a Playboy into Communist Russia, egged an Aussie PM, and met his future wife on a freighter in the South China Sea. Presently he manages a writer’s group, river floats, camps, does occasional renos, reads profusely, gardening, pickleball, and drinks demon rum. He has written 11 novels YA, MG, and adult crime, travel articles, and short stories. Among his notable awards are winner of the John Bilsland Non-Fiction Award and a Crime Writers of Canada Finalist. He has recently signed with BWL Publishing who are rebranding his firefighter series crime novels

At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
In grade school I was enthralled by Edgar Rice Burroughs’ Tarzan of the Apes series then went into science fiction. But when my friend showed me Spiderman comic #1, I became a Marvel fan. I published my first article–non-fiction–for big bucks in a national magazine and that led to a 10 year drought of rejections. I suppose I began writing about then which was 20 years ago

Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
I like a mix of investigative/tough guy stories whether by cops, lawyers, PIs or anyone else and good historical fiction or drama. Dan Fesperman, Robert Crais, LeHane, J.L. Burke (opening pages are the best ever), Baldacci, Connelly, Deverell, Child–just so many I can’t pin one down. I do mix in non-fiction every 3rd or 4th book to clear my head of fiction characters. I read an average of 45 books a year. Every poorly written book I’ve read has spurred me on to write because I knew I can do better. There are still books I come across that are poorly researched regarding investigative protocols. All the authors had to do was befriend a cop.

Tell us a little about your latest book?
FIRE DREAM is the 1st in my firefighter crime series as well as the 1st firefighter crime fiction in Canada. It was conceived on a visit to my hometown in the Niagara Peninsula when I ran into some high school people (and an old flame) who remarked on my firefighting career. It also evoked some less than pleasant memories. My story stars a heroic fire captain, a master at chaos control. But nothing prepares him for the deadly situations in his hometown. It’s a different kind of chaos. It’s fun to throw a character into the maelstrom. In my historical fiction novel THE RUMRUNNER’S BOY it is a teenager I throw into the mix of criminals, liquor smugglers, and WW1 vets during U.S. Prohibition. FIRE DREAM was rebranded from Old Flames BWL Publishing

I am a young writer living in northern Utah. I was born and raised here. I like 70’s music, and I’m trying to learn how to play the saxophone.

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

Tell us a little about your latest book?
It is the first to my medieval fantasy series called The Dark Raid Chronicles. It revolves around a young boy who goes searching for his brother after discovering an old family secret. It deals in magic, different races, and realistic medieval diversities.

Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
Judy Blume and Nancy Drew but as a young child. I loved Dr. Seuss books especially “Green Eggs and Ham” I would read this to my children. My publisher, Ayoka Boyce was very motivational & inspired me to join writing challenges which I enjoyed doing. I eventually wrote my first book.

Featured Interview With Sabine Garvey Campbell

Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I was born and raised in Northern Virginia. After college I moved to Colorado for graduate school. Five years ago I came home to Virginia where I now live on a hobby farm with my husband and two children, twins. We share our lives with four dogs, two cats and four birds. When I am not working, I spend my time writing, painting and coloring.

At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I wrote my first poem when I was in grade school. In the years that followed, I continued writing poetry but it was always a dream of mine to write a book. When I moved back to Virginia I finally found myself in a position to pursue that dream so I wrote my first fiction book in 2016. The second book in the series followed in 2017. After realizing only marginal success I stepped back and evaluated myself as a writer. It was then that I decided to direct my talents towards non-fiction writing. As Mark Twain once said, “Write what you know.” My first non-fiction book was released this month.

Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
My first passion for reading is and has always been mysteries. My love affair with Agatha Christie began thirty years ago and since then I added Sue Grafton to my list of favorite mystery writers.

I also enjoy reading self help books that capture stories of personal development. I am always trying to be the best version of myself in anything and everything I do so I find it inspiring to read stories of people who have successfully gone before me.

Tell us a little about your latest book?
My latest book is titled “An Unexpected Road to Motherhood.”

I wrote this book over Christmas vacation in 2018 when I was home for two weeks with my family. My children have finally reached the age that they are becoming independent. Watching them grow and learn reminded me of all the love, time and effort that had gone into raising them this far. And, how when I became their mother, I did not know what to expect and came to find that it was not like I had imagined it would be which is fine with me.

“Most little girls dream of meeting their Prince Charming, getting married, and becoming a mother like something they read in a fairy tale. For some lucky girls, life goes just as planned but for others, the fairy tale gets rewritten into something that reads more like a mystery. And then, there are girls like me whose story turns out to be a little bit of both. Like the fairy tale, I met my Prince Charming and we got married, but then my road to motherhood became unexpected, complicated, and unpredictable just like a good mystery. Fortunately, I always knew that life had a plan for me and that if I never gave up, I would one day find my happy ending.”

Featured Interview With Rosemary Morris

Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I am a multi-published romantic historical novelist from Hertfordshire in the U.K. There is a gigantic canvas for a historical novelist to choose from.
My novels are set in the reign of Edward II, Queen Anne Stuart, who reigned from 1702 to 1714, and the ever-popular Regency era.
I chose those periods because each of them affected the course of history. If the Duke of Marlborough had not won The War of Spanish Succession, and The Duke of Wellington had been defeated by Napoleon at The Battle of Waterloo, the history of Britain and that of Europe would be different. Defeat would also have had far-reaching consequences for the rest of the world. If Edward II had won the Battle of Bannockburn, it is feasible that he would have conquered Scotland and, perhaps, as it is claimed, he would not have been murdered.
The more I read about my chosen eras the more fascinated I become, and the more aware of the gulf between the past and present. Those who lived in the past shared the same emotions as we do, but their attitudes and way of life were in many ways very different to ours. One of the most striking examples was the social position of women and children in in bygone ages.
My characters, are of their time, not men, women and children dressed in costume who behave like 21st century people.
Research of my chosen eras sparks my imagination. The seeds of my novels are sown, and from them sprout the characters and events which will shape their lives.
I was born in Kent. As a child, when I was not making up stories, my head was ‘always in a book.’
While working in a travel agency, I met my Hindu husband. He encouraged me to continue my education at Westminster College. In 1961 I and my husband, by then a barrister, moved to his birthplace, Kenya, where I lived from 1961 until 1982. After an attempted coup d’état, four of my children lived with me in an ashram in France.
Back in England, I wrote historical fiction, joined the Romantic Novelists’ Association, The Historical Novel Society, Watford Writers and on line groups, and am now published by Books We Love Ltd
Apart from writing, I enjoy classical Indian literature, reading, visiting places of historical interest, vegetarian cooking, growing organic fruit, herbs and vegetables and creative crafts.
My eight foot by twelve foot is so crammed with historical non-fiction, which I use to research my novels, that if I buy a new book I have to consider getting rid of one.
Time spent with my five children and their families, most of whom live near me, is precious

At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
My fascination with books began before I could read. My mother told me I memorised my favourite stories, opened my books and turned the pages as I recited them. After I learned to read and write I wrote poetry and stories for my own amusement until I wrote my first novel in my early twenties.

Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
I have too many favourite authors to list. Some of them are Elizabeth Chadwick, Bernard Cornwall, Barbara Erskine, Agatha Christy, Georgette Heyer, Elizabeth Goudge, Mary Stewart, Sir Walter Scott, Charlotte Bronte and Jane Austen.
I read more historical fiction than any other.
Historical non-fiction inspires me. For example, I wrote Yvonne, Lady of Cassio after delving with great enjoyment into books about the early fourteenth century. What, I asked myself, was it like for a couple in an arranged marriage who disliked each other and, apart from their rank, had nothing in common?

Tell us a little about your latest book?
Saturday’s Child, which will be published in July, 2020, is the last stand alone novel in my series, heroines born on different days of the week. In the words of the nursery rhyme ‘Saturday’s child work’s hard for a living.’
The child in my novel is Annie, who was born in Portugal during the Napoleonic Wars. After her mother died, Annie continued to ‘follow the drum’ with her father a hussar. After the battle of Waterloo he was discharged. Unemployed, he and Annie are on the brink of starvation when he begs for help from Mrs Tarrant, daughter of an officer he served under. Life forces Annie to deal with may trials during which she works hard for a living.

Featured Interview With Abbie Payne

Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I grew up and I am still currently living just outside of Houston, Texas. I have a German Shepherd mix named Yoda (yes, I’m a major Star Wars nerd). I’ve always had a wild imagination (which I tended to get made fun of for by my classmates when I was younger), but I think that’s what helps me when it comes to writing my books. I primarily focus on fantasy and dystopian novels, but I also love to try and dabble in a little bit of everything whenever I can. I currently have five books out (three different series) and I’m working on releasing another.

At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I’ve always been a reader. My mom and grandma were always readers and I was taught to read and write before I even started school. I’ve also always loved telling stories and I fondly remember insisting to my mother that I read the book that she would read to me every night, but then completely changing the story around until it wasn’t even like the original story except for the characters. I started writing when I was in elementary school, but I was pretty severely bullied during those years. I remember when I was in second grade, my classmates and I all got to write short stories that our teacher later made into little “books” for each of us to keep. I was so incredibly proud of my story, but that quickly faded when everyone started to laugh at me for my story. In fourth grade, we were supposed to write a story about pirates and my teacher failed me for the assignment because I was being “too creative”. I ended up quitting after that and I only tried again when I was in seventh grade (I believe I was 12 at that time). I started again because my anxiety and depression were becoming more and more unmanageable and I simply couldn’t find any outlet for it. However, as I started writing again, I quickly fell in love with the craft again and I also figured out that it helped me to put my fears down on paper and that’s what I kept doing. Towards the end of that school year, I went home and told my mother that I wanted to be an author and that I was going to be publishing a book. I don’t think she thought very much of it at the time (I mean, duh, I was pretty young at the time and I wasn’t very well-known for sticking to anything), but I meant it. At the end of ninth grade, at 15, I finished my first book and ended up self-publishing The Secret Two just a few months later. After that, I seemed to become addicted to the art and I slowly began writing and publishing more and more stories. Now, I’m getting ready to publish my sixth book and I don’t see myself stopping any time soon.

Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
My favorite genres to read are fantasy, dystopian, and non-fiction, but I do tend to read pretty far across the board. My absolute favorite author is S.E. Hinton (I read “The Outsiders” when I was in eighth grade, extremely depressed, and contemplating suicide and I strongly credit that book for being one of the things that saved my life), but I also greatly enjoy the classics: Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, Ernest Hemingway, and F. Scott Fitzgerald are just a few of my favorites.
I can’t pinpoint one person or thing that inspires my writing. I know that S.E. Hinton inspires a lot of my personal writing style, but I tend to get inspired by a lot of people – both fellow authors and normal, everyday people.

Tell us a little about your latest book?
My sixth book is coming out in late October. It is a new adult/adult fantasy novel and it’s the first of its series. The book is called “The Light We Lost” and the series is called “The Stardust Circle”. Here’s the synopsis:
“Blood, death, and gore as far as the eye could see… and a High Priestess Serena standing on top of it all.”Nadia, Jade, Spencer, and Priamos have spent the best part of their lives trying to keep a massive part of who they were a secret. They kept themselves as separated from the rest of their coven as possible, not telling anyone about who they were – not even Priamos’ brother, Tempest, until he discovered he was already one of them. The number one rule for the entire group is very simple: absolutely no one can know about what sets them apart from the rest of the town. However, when the reigning High Priestess begins to lose her control over Wolf’s Hollow and the Stardust Circle, they realize that there’s a grave danger in Wolf’s Hollow and that they might just be the only ones that can put a stop to it.
This book took me two months to write, though it took me A LOT longer to plan it out, This book is also quite different from everything else that I’ve written.
This book all started because I was once in my college U.S. history class and my professor was telling us the story about what happened with Thomas Jefferson and John Adams died and uttered the phrase “Jefferson still lives”. He told us that we couldn’t write a story about it because no one would believe it and my only response was “but can I try?” Then, a few months later, I started toying with the idea of a bunch of characters that had memories from significant historical events, and eventually, The Stardust Circle was born.

Featured Interview With Sara Hosey

Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I was raised in New York and I’ve lived in a bunch of different neighborhoods in Queens, including Flushing, Jackson Heights, and Richmond Hill. Where I grew up and came of age has had a huge influence on my writing–which I think is obvious in my debut novel, Iphigenia Murphy, but which also plays out in some of my other work, including my short story, “Revenge of the Nerds,” which will be appearing in Casino Literary Magazine this summer.

Yes–I have a wonderful dog and two darling cats and many adored plants.

At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
Reading has been one of the greatest pleasures of my life. I started reading young and I have no memory of ever not loving reading or, as I’ve gotten older, being without a book or two going.

I started writing when I was 5 or 6 and I still have my first story, about a little girl named Rita. Not much happens–it’s basically a recounting of my own day-to-day life–but there is a story there and there is conflict–will Rita’s friend come over or not?

Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
Right now I’m reading Hilary Mantel’s newest book–“The Mirror and the Light”–and it’s sublime, of course. I love short fiction–I am looking forward to reading Kelly Fordon’s “I Have the Answers” next.

Tell us a little about your latest book?
My ya debut, “Iphigenia Murphy,” tells the story of a 15-year old runaway who sets out in search of her long-lost mother and makes a life for herself in a wooded park in Queens. Just like Iffy, the friends she makes in the park—Angel, a stray dog with the most ridiculous tail; Corinne, a young trans woman who is escaping her own abusive situation; and Anthony, a former foster kid from upstate whose parents are addicts—each seek a place where they feel at home. Whether fate or coincidence has brought them together, within this community of misfits Iffy can finally be herself, but she still has to face the effects of abandonment and abuse—and the possibility that she may be pregnant. During what turns out to be a remarkable journey to find her mother, will Iffy ultimately discover herself?

Featured Interview With Texi Smith

Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
Hey there, born and bred in a rural market town in Northumberland, near Newcastle Upon Tyne in the UK. Had some adventures around Europe and ended up in Sydney, Australia. Living with my two beautiful kids and dog Duke in the burbs and writing Unashamed Football Novels.

At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I’ve always had a fascination with writing, and that started at an early age. Match reporting for the Uni was the big turning point, a magazine editor role then honed those skills before launching head first into writing novels. First novel published in 2019.

Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
I’ve read a lot of football autobiographies, biographies and the like. One author I did get sucked into was Christopher Brookmyre, a Scottish crime novelist. He’s so detailed in his writing, even when he doesn’t need to be. I have a feeling that my writing is influenced by his works.

Tell us a little about your latest book?
My latest book is “Jarrod Black – Guilty Party” and it’s due out in May 2020. It is book three in the series following the life and times of Jarrod Black. He’s an Aussie, plays football in the English Football League and has never quite made it to the Premier League. So excited about this book coming out!
