Interview With Author Amey Aubry
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m a writer, an Energy medicine practitioner, and a mom of two amazing kids. I have written and published four books in the last couple of years.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is called Wannabe Mystic. It was partially inspired by the fact that I have always coveted mystical abilities. I’m amazed and enthralled by people who can speak to the dearly departed, have psychic abilities, or can see things outside the “normal” visual spectrum. It was also inspired by the thought that I love the main characters in all my books, and wouldn’t it be cool if they could somehow interact with each other. Shortly after that thought, my brain lit up with the notion that I could write a book in which they all had small parts and indeed would have the chance to spend time together!
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Between being a planner and pantser, I’d say I’m more of a pantser. I get an idea and will sometimes create an outline of how I think the story will go. But for me the magic happens when I start writing. I always get ideas and inspiration that I didn’t realize was waiting for me, lurking just outside my logical mind’s ability to contemplate. It’s really fun!
What authors, or books have influenced you?
My favorite book growing up, which is still very high on the list was A Wrinkle in Time, and I enjoyed all the books that followed. I’m a huge fan of Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, as well as the entire series. I’ve always had a soft spot for Charles Dickens books. I also love self-help and personal discovery books like The Four Agreements, A New Earth, and The Power of Your Subconscious Mind. Currently, my favorites are anything by Sarah Addison Allen and Heather Webber.
What are you working on now?
I’m in the early stages of my next book, Transporter, which is about a divorced mom who while chaperoning her daughter’s field trip finds a mug that transports her to an underground world.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Facebook or Instagram
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Stay connected to the joy of writing!
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Follow your bliss.
What are you reading now?
The Lost Bookshop by Evie Woods
What’s next for you as a writer?
Just keep writing . . .
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
The Power of Your Subconscious Mind, Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, The Lost Bookshop (so I can see how it ends), and a really large journal so I could keep writing.
