Awesome Author Interviews

Interview With Author Bach Ly

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Self published Author of two books adventures at a lopsided pond and Soy sauce fingers, I’m an emerging new voice who wants to bring a sense of freshness and genuine reflections to the writing world. As the mother of two wonderful girls, I want them to see what an empowered focused woman can do.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Soy sauce fingers: poems celebrating motherhood is my latest book and it’s a project of love towards my daughter and the journey my first pregnancy took me on. What started out as letters to my daughter took on a life of it’s own and materialized as a physical book to be enjoyed.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
In the morning, I do three pages of word vomit which means for three pages, I write whatever comes to mind. Sounds, songs, complaints, gibberish, whatever my brain is doing that morning. I picked this practice up from the artist’s way. Then at night before I go to bed, I write while my children sleep. These daily two practices serves me well.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
The poet Rumi has influenced my poetry style and my fiction is styled after Dean Koontz.

What are you working on now?
Right now, I’m working on a non fiction book that caters to helping writers resolve blockages and imposter symptoms.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I’ve been using my newsletter and own website to promote my books. My Instagram is great for connecting with readers.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
When I first began writing, I was an island and wanted to do it all by myself. This need to control every aspect of my book which was tied up in my sense of worth only caused me headaches and heartbreak. Once I discovered BSFF, I was able to release my need and change my beliefs. Once I trusted others and hired professionals to handle other aspects of publishing, my life got much better.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Advice from Stephen King, rapid release your work so you can find your tribe faster.

What are you reading now?
At this moment I’m reading a collection of science fiction short stories edited by Orson Scott card.

What’s next for you as a writer?
I would like to break into two genres with two different series. One serie is a nonfiction to aid other writers mentally and a scifi romance serie which will be my first drive into the world of fiction.

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?
If I could only take books, I would appreciate a book on forging wild food and bushcraft, a book on raft building, and a collection of Rumi poetry.

Interview With Author Turner Grant

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
A country boy originally from Tennessee, I’m a Harvard-educated architect in Washington DC. Thirty years ago, I married into a dynastic Washington DC family, heady stuff for an almost redneck kid of modest means from the sticks outside Nashville. Now, I’m a widowed father of twin boys, one of whom is disabled. I gave up my architectural career in what would have been my most productive years to be a stay-at-home dad. It was the toughest and best job I’ve ever had. Becoming a successful Wall Street investor on my home computer during my at-home-dad years, I was able to retire early. I’m now a disability advocate at the state and federal levels and serve on numerous boards related to disability advocacy and architecture and urban planning. I also explore visionary architecture and urban design that would benefit my community and the country at large (basically I design fun stuff while exploring unique and original design ideas).

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
“To Venus and Back, One Man’s Quest to Rediscover Love,” is my recently published memoir. It is my one and only book and took six years from the first words to publication. Adventurous, intimate, voyeuristic, shocking, and funny like most dating memoirs, my book stands apart because of its heartbreakingly tragic back-story: at age fifty-three, two years after the loss of my wife by suicide, I dared to re-engage in life and search for love.

My book is a very personal story about dating, relationships, sex, and looking to find love again when I—a Harvard-educated architect in Washington, D.C., onetime congressional candidate, and father of twin boys—never expected to be doing any such thing. It’s a front-row seat to one man’s interactions with twenty-six—out of a total of fifty-four—middle-aged women in three years. Interwoven throughout is also a profound story about life, loss, and a quest to heal.

After taking tentative steps into the shallow dating waters, I was quickly immersed in a deep ocean filled with unexpected riptides and crosscurrents within a digital-dating universe that didn’t exist when I last dated decades earlier.

In three years, the fifty-four women I met took me to a totally different world—Venus. It was a journey—a journey that’s, well … complicated.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Other than becoming obsessed with writing once I began, I’m not sure how I worked was unusual in any way. I did however tap into the “charrette” mindset of the architectural studio and worked late into the night. The creative process took hold and time stood still whenever I got into “the zone.”

What authors, or books have influenced you?
Truman Capote and Tom Wolfe were big writing influences for me, with a little bit of comedic observations thrown in along the lines of George Carlin and Jerry Seinfeld.

What are you working on now?
I’m learning and working on all that is necessary to market one’s book, a mind-boggling amount of work. I’m also in the final stages for selecting the voice actor to make my audiobook. Very exciting.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Facebook ads have been the best promotional method so far. I’m working to get a TikTok video ready to roll. It will be interesting to see how that does.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
“Just write” was the best advice given to me. All else flows from there.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
If you can dream it, you can do it.

What are you reading now?
Just finished Don Quixote. Now listening to Tina Fey’s book, “Bossy Pants.” My reading interests are all over the place.

What’s next for you as a writer?
Good question. It’s unknown, but I wrote a book when I never planned to do any such thing, wo we will see.

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?
Three or four books on how to survive on a desert island.

Interview With Author Jeff Walker

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Hello, my name is Jeff Walker, I live in Ontario, Canada and write science fiction, sci fi fantasy and paranormal thrillers. I’ve written a total of 17 or so titles, most of which are collections of short stories or novellas, and four full books. I’ve been an author since 2015 and haven’t slowed down yet. My writing has been comparatively likened to Robert Heinlein or Joe Haldeman by some that have reviewed my books.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book (due out on April 30th, 2023) is a sci fi thriller called, The Jungle Planet. It’s about a team of planetary oxygen harvesters on a mission for a corporate company that locates, processes and sells pure oxygen for colonies, space stations, and other interplanetary vessels of Earth. They land on a jungle world rich in O2 and discover the planet is more than it seems. It’s a standalone novel and my fourth full written novel to date. The idea came to me when I was thinking about the Amazon Rainforest, how deforestation by greedy companies and the impact of global climate change was affecting it, Even though the oceans help to produce most of the air we breathe, forests (like the amazon) also contribute to our oxygen supply and are the planetary filters of this world to keep it going.
I wondered if (at some point) we’d have to be creating our own air, or searching for other worlds that could replace it. So then the story just emerged, along with the dangers of what we might find on those worlds that we were siphoning from.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I don’t write like most authors. I just write the book from start to finish without the need of story plotting, character profiles, or anything like that. I basically know how the book unfolds from beginning to end. It’s like there is a movie theatre in my mind, I can see it, rewind it, go forward, and know all there is about that book. I know who my characters are, what the plot contains, and how I want to arrange the chapters. It’s hard to describe really, I just know how the novel or story should unfold naturally.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
Well, since I was compared to Robert Heinlein or Joe Haldeman (both of which I’ve read and enjoyed) those two are somewhat influencing, but, I would say that my one major influencer was more recent. Dennis E. Taylor has been the biggest influencer of my writing. After reading his Bobiverse books, I was inspired and rekindled into writing my books. That’s not to say others haven’t inspired me as well, like: William Gibson, Arthur C. Clarke, Tolkien, Issac Asimov, and (as mentioned) Heinlein and Haldeman.
There’s far too many books and other authors to mention that have also influenced my writing. Some are more inspiring than others.

What are you working on now?
Right now, I’m involved in like… I dunno… over 10 titles. Most of which are half completed, just starting or stuck in limbo as my mind keeps getting distracted by new ideas. The one I’m trying to stay focused on (for now) is called, Space Rockers: Dangerous Prospect. It’s about a group of asteroid miners who get sent to a specific rock and find something deep within it. I’ve got a few chapters up on Royal Road, anyone can go there to read them and give me some feedback.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I’ll be honest here, there is no real “Best Method” when promoting your books. Social Media is a harsh mistress and changing all the time. Creating a website for yourself is truly a must for any author though, it’s an anchor and a home base for all your readers to find. I’ve been on instagram, YouTube, twitter, TikTok and anything else that’s the latest trend, but it’s a big ocean of authors out there, and you’re just one voice calling out in the melee of book promoting. Either a reader will spot you or they won’t. There’s just no guarantee you’ll be successful.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Don’t think of fame or fortune when writing books. You won’t get it. This is job that requires someone to love what they do and not treat it like a hobby. Don’t get discouraged by bad reviews and don’t like a few good ones go to your head. Reviews are there to help you learn, get the feedback needed and work towards making the next book even better. And don’t let chat bots do the writing for you, that’s just lazy, in my opinion. Real authors come up with their own ideas, their own interpretations of story, their own mind of what the book should be. AI shouldn’t be the writer, you should be it.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
The best advice I heard was “never respond to negative reviews”. Absolutely right, don’t do it. If you find someone giving you a mouthful of hateful comments about your writing or as an author personally, you should just learn to ignore them and block them out. The second best advice was to re-read your story at least ten times or more. You’d be surprised at the number of mistakes in your own work after doing it. From simple spelling errors to whole sections of chapters not making any sense. Check it, edit it, check it again and edit some more.
It’s funny, but even after you do an edit, or the editor does, there’s always a mistake or two somewhere. It just happens, so deal with it as best you can.

What are you reading now?
I was reading (or listening to on my way back and fourth to work) the science fiction hall of fame stories 1 & 2. They’re the top picks by the Science Fiction Writers of America. Some of the old stories hold up, but a good chunk of them are questionable (in my mind) as to how or why they were picked as the “best of the best”. The one good one in there was H.G. Wells The Time Machine. I’d never read the original novella before… it was interesting and vastly different than any of the movies.

What’s next for you as a writer?
Keep writing, of course. I’ve got 10 stories to catch up on, with more entering my mind every day. I wish I had the power to finish them all in a blink of an eye, but, no… I’ve got to commit myself into getting them done as humanly possible. I”ve got to finish my sequel/prequel book to The Long Lost War (my most successful title), and complete my paranormal thriller The Burning Fire Rises – The Mysterious World Of Professor Darkk And Miss Shadow book 1.
Lots on my plate and not near enough time to get them all done in time. But, I will… that much is for certain.

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?
Wow, that’s a tough one. Hmm… which ones would I take with me? I guess it would have to go in this order:

Treasure Island (loved that one since I was a kid)
We Are Legion (We Are Bob)
2001: A Space Odyssey
The Lord Of The Rings: The Completed Trilogy (yes I know that counts as three… but it comes in one book, not really cheating. Nah!)

Interview With Author Renette Haramis

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I spend my days writing and reading and for fun, I read what I wrote, actually, that’s a lie I love to read various genres, my favourite being fantasy and crime novels. My all-time favourite Author is Terry Pratchett, I’ve read all his books multiple times. I’m from sunny South Africa, where walks on the beach are a great inspiration.

My favourite genre to write in is LGBTQ+ and Paranormal Romance but I do write conventional romance novels as well.

Many of my novels are based on an alternate universe called the Omegaverse, where there are Alphas and Omegas who are a human evolution species.

I have written five books, one is currently published on Amazon and 2 more will be released in the next 2 months.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Androgynous Love, I was inspired to write it as I am a great fan of Manga and Anime the trope for the novel is Omegaverse which is fanfiction based around a wolf hierarchy. And I wanted to try my hand at the genre.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Let me think, I first write in a scholar counter book, while drinking copious amounts of coffee, then I retype it into my PC, drinking even more coffee.
Basically, the amount of coffee I consume during writing equates to how long the book will be and how mindboggling.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
Terry Pratchett has influenced me in the sense that I try to include humour and suspense breakers in my novels as his books were always amazingly humourous.

Anne Rice inspired me to start writing as her books are detailed and the way she uses words to get the reader to imagine everything is a great talent. I wanted to see if I could write anything as good.

What are you working on now?
Currently, I am working on the Sequal to Androgynous Love which is Hard of Hearing, featuring a new couple, with one of them being Jonathan Down, Andrew Pearce’s best friend from Androgynous Love.
And I have, Too Broken to Love releasing 3rd April on my Birthday and Wedding Anniversary, it is also an Omegaverse novel but is not part of the Omegaverse Tale series from which Androgynous Love and Hard of Hearing comes, there will be a third book in the Omegaverse Tale series, but it will only release later in this year.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I belong to quite a few Facebook groups and reading clubs, which is always a great way of promoting my books, and of course Awesomegang,com

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Don’t just rely on your publisher, self-promotion is a must.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Try and try again, if you fail, you haven’t tried hard enough.

What are you reading now?
C.S Lewis – That Hideous Strenght

What’s next for you as a writer?
To write more books, I love writing and reading. My children also love reading and listening to bedtime stories hasn’t gotten old even now that they are older.

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?
Well, thats not playing fair. I’d ask first can I rather select 1 series. Then I would choose The wheel of time by Robert Jordan I’d be set for quite a few weeks if not months if I only read a chapter a day.

Interview With Author Mark Drolsbaugh

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m a deaf person and an introvert. I can advocate for myself as a deaf person at the drop of a hat. As an introvert, not so much. I draw a blank at meetings but am the master of the 4am perfect witty response. Which is why I write more than I talk. I’ve written five books so far, including the critically acclaimed “Deaf Again” and “Madness in the Mainstream.”

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest release is “People Suck: A Cheat Code for Introverts.” When I noticed how empowered I am as a deaf advocate yet completely tongue-tied as an introvert, I decided to take a closer look at that. Hilarity ensued. It’s actually a funny book but it was inspired by someone who openly complained I was “too quiet.” So I responded to that with a 270-page explanation of why I have nothing to say.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Yes. I will pull over on I-95 and write a book on a moment’s notice. Ideally, we should all set a consistent writing time and stick to it. But the best ideas often pop up out of nowhere in the most random places. If you see me walk into the bathroom and not come out for 2 hours, a book happened.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
There’s another deaf author, Karen Putz, who I refer to as my trailblazer. I often lament that there’s not enough time to write. She’s busier than I am and I’ve lost track of how many books she’s written. She’s raised the bar and I expect more out of myself thanks to her influence.

What are you working on now?
There’s a chapter in “People Suck: A Cheat Code for Introverts” called “Don’t Pop the Bubble.” If I tell you what I’m working on now, it’ll pop the bubble. So shhhhhhh. It’ll be ready when it’s ready.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
This is where I have monumentally messed up. I honestly don’t know. I can and should do a better job of promoting my work. All of my earlier books are deaf-related and the deaf community is pretty tight. Word gets out fast. With “People Suck” there’s still that boost from readers in the deaf community, but getting the word out beyond that has been like screaming into the void. I’m learning on the fly. I’m literally learning right now from a writing coach who told me to do this interview.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Keep writing. There is such a thing as a writing muscle. The more you do it, the better you get. Don’t lose yourself in the little things or allow yourself to get overwhelmed (it’s so easy to get overwhelmed in the publishing business). Just focus on what you have to do now and keep moving. Everything falls into place. Last but not least, keep your mind open and welcome any coaches or mentors. They seem to pop up exactly when you need them. Listen to their advice, and they’ll save you a lot of time.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
I’m an introvert who relies on long-term memory. I can’t even think of anything right now but it’ll pop up at 4am. Oh, wait. That’s the advice. If you suddenly get an idea at 4am, write it down! Have a notebook or cell phone readily available and never assume that you’ll get around to it later. Whenever you get an inspiration, seize the moment.

What are you reading now?
Quiet Voice Fearless Leader: 10 Principles for Introverts to Awaken the Leader Inside by Terrance Lee.

What’s next for you as a writer?
I’m not going to pop the bubble. You’ll see it when it’s there!

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?
I’d probably have just one book, titled “How To Get Off A Desert Island.” Then again, as an introvert I might actually like it there.

Interview With Author Daniel Bautz

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Creatively, I’ve done it all. Graphic designer, podcast host, writer and director of film, and radio show host. Those accomplishments pale compared to my true calling – the written word. My debut novel, Life is in the Blood, has been called “an astounding achievement in storytelling” (Anatolian Press).

‘Life Is In The Blood’ is my debut novel from Anatolian Press. It is a horror action adventure. Also, my short story, ‘Made of Clay’ was published in the Autumn Tales Anthology. I have two self published books, an action comedy novella ‘War On Christmas: Down The Chimney’, a sketchbook anthology, ‘Von Otto’s Child and Other Forsaken Offspring.’

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is ‘Life Is In The Blood.’
I was inspired by a weird piece of history. A blood cult in the Midwest in the 1800s used a scripture from Leviticus to justify drinking animal blood. This made me ask what if a vampire used his blood to create a throng of followers through the power in their blood.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I’m not sure. I have to have music on. Preferably vinyl.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
Edgar Allan Poe. His writing showed me the beauty of words. The Masters-Dickens, Steinbeck, Hawthorne, Robert E. Howard, Agatha Christie. Modern writers, Barker, King, Warren Murphy, Richard Sapir, Bernard Cornwell, Brad Meltzer. This list could be so long. I will stop here, this could be longer than Moby Dick.

What are you working on now?
I am working on a Modern Thriller with Paranormal elements. About halfway through the first draft.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Social is important. I enjoy Instagram because engagement is genuine and not bogged down with all the other stuff going on outside the writing community. I find being available for interviews and not just shows about writing very helpful.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Write. That’s it. If you want to be a writer, write. Keep going, don’t stop, never give in. Hone the craft and write always.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
From Ray Bradbury, “Write a short story every week. You can’t write 52 bad stories.”

What are you reading now?
I am reading right now, “Rise of the Moon,” by JB Caine.

What’s next for you as a writer?
My next book should be out in the fall. Details comings soon, I will share that information on my social platforms, newsletter and website.

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 Bible, The Hobbit, The Complete Works of Edgar Allan Poe, The Thief of Always.

Interview With Author Janet Fichter

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
From the time I could hold a pencil, I’ve been writing. As a young girl, I felt compelled to create stories and express myself through poetry. It’s no surprise that I became a teacher, with literacy instruction being my favorite subject.

After retiring from a teaching and an instructional coaching career, I’ve spent the past three years writing daily. I have two published books. The first book was published with a traditional publisher. Wanting more control and flexibility, I decided to self-publish the second book.

1. The Ministry of the Unveiled Face, a non-fiction inspirational book on the simplicity of sharing the goodness of Christ with those who don’t yet know Him. The book is carried in a few local bookstores and has been used by several small groups for study and discussion. Each chapter includes reflection questions and sample prayers to pray.

2. Princess Tiara and the Crown of Virtues is a fiction fairy tale adventure. (See below section for more information). This book is also carried in a few local bookstores. Only recently released, I hope to get it in public and school libraries as well.

I also maintain an active website with a blog. I have a monthly author newsletter as well. One can view the website here: https://atjesusfeet.com, and can sign up for the newletter using the website.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The story was actually written years ago for my youngest niece, Tiara. Once retired, I developed the story further. It is a cozy weekend read about an adventurous princess who resists wearing a crown (as she prefers to explore nature). By spending time with her older siblings, she discoveres the importance of virtue. Eventually she receives a crown with a very special gem in the center (and some other jewels I won’t reveal here). She is helped on her journey of discovery by a mystical character who wears a glowing cloak and shows up in the most opportune moments. The book appeals to middle grade and teen readers, but also to parents, teachers and anyone who wants to snuggle up with a meaningful story. In this world of darkness and distress, it is refreshing to read about virtue for a change.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I don’t use a writing desk. I was hit by a car recently and sustained a minor back injury, so I type on my laptop while sitting on the couch (where I can lean back). Also, I’m an early bird, often getting up around 5:00 a.m. to begin my day in prayer and writing. For me, prayer and writing go hand in hand.

What are you working on now?
Though I have a number of “projects” in the works, the one I’m spending the most amount of time on is the sequel to the Princess Tiara and the Crown of Virtues story. The sequel brings in more depth of conflict as well as a great deal of symbolism. I hope it will be a more devleoped fantasy novel.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I champion the local Christian bookstore owners, especially Shades of Divine in Brighton, Colorado. I am blessed that the owner of that gift and bookstore is desirous of supporting local authors.

I also have an author page using many social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter). I’m continually investigating and looking for new avenues to “spread the word”.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Focus on the message and enjoy the writing process. Don’t get caught up in too many “highly recommended” practices (though you should be aware of them). If you lose the love of writing by feeling pressured to do things the recommended way, it will be a great loss.

That said, don’t be afraid to ask for help. Joining a small writer’s group is a great support.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
From my father: If I cannot do great things, I can do small things in a great way (I think this is actually a Mother Teresa quote).

From my mother: Do your best and trust God for the rest.

From Dr. Charles Stanley (In Touch Ministries): Fight your battles on your knees.

What are you reading now?
I love reading pieces written by my author friends. I enjoy beta reading for others and feel honored to support them. Beyond that, I’m reading a lot of Dutch Sheets, a spiritual mentor.

What’s next for you as a writer?
Once I finish the sequel to the Princess Tiara story, I have several non-fiction pieces in the works. I desperately need to get back to them. I’m not sure if they will be published books or simply a series of articles. We’ll see what develops.

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?
I would take the Bible, for sure, for the layers and layers of depth in it will inspire me into eternity.

I would also take Oswald Chamber’s “My Utmost for His Highest” (again… so much inpirational thoughts).

I would bring my laptop in the hopes I can access some adventure and historical fiction stories.

Interview With Author Angela Haas

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I was born in Colorado Springs, Colorado. My day job is a professor of communication and at night, I write novels about superheroes and spaceships. I love NOT camping, salty snacks, and soft blankets. I’ve been writing since I was a kid and I still have all the spiral-bound notebooks I filled with my early stories. First Strike, the first novel in my first series, was published June 13th, 2022.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My series Keepers of the Universe, features older women as the superheroes because I was tired of the standard entertainment tropes of older women being the evil queen, jilted first wife, or wise grandmother. I wanted to write a book where older women are suited in tactical gear and are kicking butt on the battlefield. I also wanted to explore ageing through the lens of superhero stories. How does a superhero handle hot flashes? She turns them into fire balls.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I tend to write at night from 9-1 am. This is only unusual because most writers I know are more morning people. I love writing at night because the house is quiet, the phone doesn’t ring and I can’t get distracted by other tasks. I also sometimes have to have music or a movie on while I write because the sounds or action on the screen, inspires me.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
One of the first books that really inspired me was Island of the Blue Dolphins by Scott O’dell. I was so immersed in that novel and started to write my first story after that. Clive Cussler inspired my love for writing action/adventure stories, but my books also don’t take themselves too seriously. If you are looking for hard sci-fi, my books are not for you. Dave Barry, Carl Hiaasen, Terry Pratchett and Douglas Adams were huge influences when I first started writing which is why my stories are more tongue in cheek.

What are you working on now?
Currently, I’m in the revision stage of Seconds to Oblivion: Keepers of the Universe Book 2. My series is similar to Avengers where each Avenger has their own origin story in a connected universe. Where First Strike follows the journey of Stella, a tough as nails woman who learns to trust the team around her, Seconds to Oblivion is about Marlene “Scout” Mason, a hot mess with a heart of gold, who must trust herself to find the strength to go it alone.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I’m still learning so much about the best ways to markets your books, but building your email list for blog posts and newsletters is crucial. Having a social media presence is also beneficial, but don’t feel as though you have to be on every platform. Start with the site you like the best and be active there. Running promotions using Fussy Librarian, Freebooksy and Book Gorilla are also great ways to get your books in the hands of readers and to get reviews.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Be cautious where you invest your time and money. When I first started writing, I gobbled up every class, every writing software, every workbook I could find. I thought I need to be the constant student of the craft, but it turns out, I knew more than I realized. I wish I would have taken a step back and thought more about signing up for certain certifications and classes. Becca Syme had great advice in that she said wait 24 hours before purchasing anything as it relates to your writing career. I should have done that and will do that now going forward.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
I read an article by Joe Fassler where he wrote: It’s supposed to be difficult. Those words really stuck with me. There are so many times in the process of writing and publishing my first book that I wanted to quit; that I told myself: “I can’t do this.” “I’m not good at this.” But if this process were easy, every single person would do it. It is supposed to be difficult and when you understand that and you push through, you’ll find amazing rewards on the other side of every hurdle.

What are you reading now?
I just finished the Treadstone Transgression by Justin Hood and have now started The Cleaner by Mark Dawson.

What’s next for you as a writer?
Writing and more writing! Networking and more networking! I’m an extroverted writer working on building my network and finding more in person events to participate in. I’m also slowly making peace with the idea that if I quit my day job as a professor (for me, teaching just isn’t what it used to be) I can submerge myself full time into my writing career. I plan on attending the 20to50k Writer’s Conference in Las Vegas in November and I will have an in person book launch in the summer once I publish my second book.

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?
Long, Dark Tea Time of the Soul by Douglas Adams, The SAS Survival Handbook by John Wiseman and The Silent Sea by Clive Cussler.

Interview With Author Jo Anne Barnes

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I quit a job I loved supervising student teachers years ago to devote more time to my passion for writing. I’ve published five books, co-authored two, and I’m currently working on two more novels. My kitty and dog don’t like the time I spend writing, but I make sure I play with them each day.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
WINDS OF FATE – A PYGMALION ROMANCE is probably my favorite book. And you know the old saying, “write what you know.” Both of my daughters owned horses, and I learned a lot from them about training, caring for, and showing horses. So I knew I wanted to write a love story with strong but loving characters isolated on a horse farm, and I wanted to include humorous scenes. I’m also a fan of the movie, MY FAIR LADY, so I decided to weave
a makeover into my plot.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Not really. In the past I made myself write daily, but I don’t do that anymore.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
Danielle Steel, Sandra Brown, Anne Tyler, Fredrik Backman, and many others

What are you working on now?
Balloon Safari and Cajun Hideaway, but the titles might change. I use to crew for a hot air balloon astronaut, so I will continue to work on a love story involving a woman who pilots hot air balloons.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I suck swamp water at promoting my books, but I love websites such as this one. Thank you!

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Join critique groups, read a lot, and write every day. You’ll get there!

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Write what you know. Read every book you can get your hands on.

What are you reading now?
Fredrik Backman’s A MAN CALLED OVE

What’s next for you as a writer?
That’s easy — Finish. the books I’ve started.

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 Outlander Series by Diana Gabaldon

 

Interview With Author LM Bain

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I have written 2 books, so far, working on number three in the series. I am a high school counselor, and an adjunct faculty for the local community college. I am also the mother of three human children and 6 furry ones (5 cats, & one dog). I am seriously considering pursuing a PhD, but that is on hold for now.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Provenance, Lost Souls Book 2. It is the continuation from Demons, Lost Souls Book 1. The inspiration came randomly. The first line in the prologue came as I was taking the garbage out when we lived in Spokane, WA. The noise the wind made through the pine tree tops was inspiring that day.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Sometimes I text myself notes or dialogue that I randomly think of when I am driving or at work.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
I am not sure because, although I write romance, I am not a romance type of person meaning I do not watch romantic comedies, romance, etc. I am more of a horror fan. My story has nothing to do with hers, but Angelou’s memoir, “I know why the Caged Bird Sings” really impacted me. Gave me a different perspective on the life of the author and the pains she endured growing up. Jonathan Livingston Seagull, I loved that book. I identify with Jonathan because when I was writing poetry in high school and showcasing it to my classmates, many would laugh and dismiss me and my silly poetry, and some deemed me an odd one and outcast, just like his flock did to him. I was never a conformist or a follower. Even now, I have little to no friends because I like to live life to my own beat, free of drama and conflict.

What are you working on now?
I am finishing up book 3 of the Lost Souls Series, named Requiem.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I am still trying to figure that out. I am not so great at marketing and promotion but need to learn and get out there.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Do not be afraid. Do it.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Education is the only thing no one can ever take away from you – My dad.

What are you reading now?
Nothing now. I am focusing on teaching, counseling, and finishing up book 3.

What’s next for you as a writer?
Exposure, I hope. I put myself out there and signed up to be a vendor at a con in Globe this April. That would be fun! I will be finishing Book 3, then finally completing a slow-burn romance that came to me in a dream years ago that I have not found the time to finish. I have several projects in my head.

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?
I want to finally be able to finish “It” by Stephen King. So being stranded on an island would be a good time to finish that book finally. I would like to re-read Jonathan Livingston Seagull. Though I first read it in Spanish, I would like to read it in English this time. I would also take Santa, by Federico Gamboa. Santa is a story set at the turn of the last century of a young Mexican girl who turned to prostitution and lived a life of sadness and misfortune. Oh and Pet Sematary, I would take that one too.

Interview With Author Jerry Smith

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
As a leading scientist in the artificial intelligence field (Dr. Jerry A Smith), I bring a unique perspective to their fiction writing, blending his expertise in computer science and artificial intelligence with their creative storytelling abilities. With a background in data sciences, machine learning, and cognitive psychology, the author deeply understands the human mind and its inner workings, which is evident in his writing. My prior self-published works in artificial intelligence and cognitive psychology have gained them a large and dedicated following, showcasing their ability to captivate and engage readers.

Tulpamancer – Edge of Chaos is my debut novel.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Tulpamancer – Edge of Chaos

Though this book is fiction, many of the details are based on reality. For instance, Michael is a tulpa — an entity created through focused mental energy and repetition. I made him years ago to practice writing dialogue since I wanted to create stories that were heavier on showing instead of telling. To do so, I realized I needed somebody who could play multiple roles in these conversations. So Michael came into my life.
Over time, Michael grew into much more than just a talking head to help with dialogue. He went from being a tool to a partner to a mentor. Through his teaching, I learned how to relax and let the characters work things out on their own. He would point out when my stubbornness was getting in the way of their individual voices and stories.
As the scenes played out, Michael would take me aside and have me watch. As the characters worked through their stories, he had me write down what I saw happening in the present tense. For example, if I observed “John was walking down the road,” instead of writing it as “John walked down the road.” This allowed me to develop a more objective perspective, with Michael acting as my guide. Thank you, Dr. Russell Targ.
Here we are, giving you the reins. Michael and I hope you enjoy Tulpamancer: Edge of Chaos. We would be overjoyed to know that you will join us in the next book as we carry on with this paranormal journey. Tulpas do exist in reality.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I have a tulpa partner, Michael, that helps me write my novel. He is the creative side of our work, while I represent the form, structure, and process. Michael creates the story line based on Dan Harmon’s story circle, reads the chapters and scenes, and I write and edit them.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
I read thrillers, suspense, and post-apocalyptic green. I love Vince Flynn’s work and miss his creativity. Booby Akart has an excellent way with words regarding the end of the world.

What are you working on now?
I started the second of three books in the Tulpamancer series, Tulpamancer – Mind Worms Kill. Michael and his group work to save their world as John suffers a massive psychotic event and is institutionalized.

After that, I will finish the series with Tulpamancer – Darkness Falls.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Great question, and one that I don’t have a lot of data on right now.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Never give up on allowing your characters to tell their story in our human world. When your characters get to the point where they talk to you, taking on their destiny and changing the narrative away from what you, the author, thought was right, this is a psychological point of commitment. You now owe it to them to get their story out.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
To be a writer, you have to write.

What are you reading now?
The Resurgence of Patriots, by Ryan Schow.

What’s next for you as a writer?
Completing this series will take me through the end of 2023. After that, I am looking at placing Michael in new trouble.

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?
Economic Collapse – Bobby Akart
The Mad Mick – Franklin Horton
Going Home – A. American (lots of great survival tips, since I am on a desert island)

Interview With Author Lucy Lyons

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I started writing when I was 15 and completed my first book on an electric typewriter and carbon paper! Since then, I have written fantasy novels, and contemporary novels with a touch of magic.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
I’m often asked where I came up with my idea for The Finding Machine. I get a great deal of inspiration from film and TV. The idea for my book started percolating while I was watching ‘Superman’ (for the umpteenth time). I started thinking what superhero power I’d have, if I could have anything. The ability to fly? Healing people? I couldn’t come up with anything that felt right for a novel. Co-incidentally, the next night, I watched the excellent Mackenzie Crook in ‘Dectectorists’ and that’s when it hit me. Finding things. And not necessarily treasure.

My friend’s cat had just gone missing, and despite putting up posters and searching the neighbourhood, she never saw him again and was completely devastated. What she was feeling was bad enough, but I couldn’t help thinking – what if she hadn’t lost a cat, but a child or family member? That’s when the germ of an idea grew into a novel. But I didn’t want my main character Alex to be superpowered. I wanted her to be a regular girl. In fact, I wanted her to be a bit of a loser. The machine is the incentive she needs to get out there and make something of herself.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I can’t say I do.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
I read so broadly, I could fill pages and pages. Some stand out authors for me are Peter James, Bill Bryson, John Grisham and J P Delaney.

What are you working on now?
The follow-up to The Finding Machine, where my amateur sleuth, Alex, works alongside Hertfordshire Police to solve a series of missing person cases.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
You can sign up for my newsletter at my website and I will keep in touch with you. And you get my free book, too!

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Network and ask each other questions. Chill out. It’s a long game and no matter how slow things seem, just keep writing.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Listen to your inner voice when it comes to choosing what you want to write. Not what is popular, or what doesn’t sing to you.

What are you reading now?
Just Got Real by Jane Fallon.

What’s next for you as a writer?
Who knows? That’s what’s so exciting about it!

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?
Neither Here nor There by Bill Bryson, The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell, Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen and any Peter James novel.

Interview With Author Johnny Firic

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’ve written two novels I didn’t attempt to publish as I felt my debut must be something more daring and unconventional. I’ve also written about two dozen stories, some of them not that bad.

I was born in Split, Croatia, a real-life Split personality. I’ve studied and worked in the US and across Europe before settling in Berlin. I switched day jobs from IT engineering to Internet Marketing in 2010. My, let’s call it success, in marketing was the deciding factor behind my self publishing adventure.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The Oldest Word is an unconventional, polyphonic novel spanning ten millennia. I’ve worked on it for fifteen years. I’ve always been fascinated by ancient history and prehistory, but more broadly I wanted to pay a tribute to all that I love. By not putting a human arc at the center I wanted to encourage readers to look beyond the confines of their body, their culture, their species, their era.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I would say that spending such an enormous period on one short book is pretty unusual. While it had to be just right and while I did have my day job all along and while I am a bachelor with no dependents, I suppose it does raise mental health concerns. Not writing in one’s native language is likewise unusual, but it’s been over two decades since I read a book in Croatian, and for well over a decade I’ve been less fluent in that language than in English.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
That every book I’ve ever read has influenced me in some way is only a slight overstatement. I do try to pick up stuff to avoid, too, but the writers whose approval I hope for the most upon joining them in the literary Valhalla are Carver, Chekhov and Borges. My favorites among contemporary authors are Julian Barnes, Michael Chabon and Donna Tartt. I greatly admire poetry and have some experience in poetic translation: here I have to mention Shakespeare’s sonnets and Basho’s haiku. Lastly, the imaginary worlds I explored in childhood continue to inspire me, from ancient myths to science fiction.

What are you working on now?
I’m torn between world-building an open-ended alternate history series set in North Africa and writing the series opener. I need to see how The Oldest Word will pan out before I can make that a major project. During the dark night of the soul, when it seemed I would never finish that more unconventional book to my satisfaction, I put in a lot of thought into it and have many concepts to flesh out.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I can’t say I have a lot of experience here. With a single book to my name, an author website or mailing list seem somewhat overambitious, not to say arrogant, the IT/marketing career notwithstanding. So far I’ve been paying for promotions with decent results.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Have something in your life on which you can fall back if writing doesn’t work out, as the success, or otherwise, of writing doesn’t depend on the amount of work you put in. Read as widely as you can, and revise everything.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
In writing, throw away everything that’s not essential – every idea, every sentence, every word that can be left out, should be left out. Show, don’t tell. Start the action as late as possible and leave as much as you can unsaid.
In life, fear nothing, regret nothing and see yourself mirrored in the universe wherever you look.

What are you reading now?
I’ve just finished If on a Winter’s Night a Traveller by Italo Calvino and hope to write a review later today – what a superb book. I’m halfway through Dubliners by James Joyce, surprisingly smooth and approachable. Next up, Moonglow by Chabon, The Goldfinch by Tartt, The Grapes of Wrath by Steinbeck, order as yet undecided.

What’s next for you as a writer?
I need to make a decision regarding the series set in North Africa but plans I have to start a foster family are in the way. Achieving a good work/life balance is the necessary preliminary step, but I haven’t yet been living in Berlin for two full years.

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?
It doesn’t make sense to bring books I’ve never read. I might choose The Book of Animals by Borges, the Bard’s sonnets and Wittgenstein’s Tractatus. Chekhov’s collected stories could make a fourth.

Interview With Author Stephen Hudler

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’ve been writing for about 5 years. In that time, I have written two books. I started writing because I’ve always wanted to write for Marvel Comics. That dream was never going to happen, but I still had some fascinating ideas to write about. My wife suggested I write a book instead so now I’m writing my superhero stories in novel form.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Fallout is my latest book. It is the sequel to my first book, Deadlock. I am a huge comic book fan and wanted to write superhero fiction since I was a kid.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
Comic books, sci fi and fantasy have all helped to inspire me. Douglas Adams, Stephen King, Chuck Dixon and Drew Karpyshyn are just a few of the authors who have inspired me to take up writing and share my vision with the world.

What are you working on now?
I’m currently working on the third book in my superhero series and I’m working on starting a crime thriller set in the Outer Banks of North Carolina.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Don’t let anyone tell you what you should or shouldn’t write. Write what you love.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Just write. Edit later.

What are you reading now?
I’m reading the Star Wars: Fate of the Jedi series.

What’s next for you as a writer?
I’m going to expand the superhero universe I’ve created. I’d like to spin off other books about other heroes in different situations.

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?
I’d take the Stand, Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, and an older Star Wars book.
