Interview With Author ghislain labrie
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Hi, let me introduce myself. My name is Ghislain, i’m from Canada and I’m new to the world of writing. I’m a happy and positive person who loves life and is deeply connected to my family. I have a wonderful wife, two grown daughters whom I adore, and now, I am a proud grandfather to a little granddaughter who has inspired me to start writing children’s stories.
I have writen 3 children book for now.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The Curious little bird is the last one i wrote and like the other two books my granddaughter is the inspiration behind it. Although she’s only a year old yet, she has filled my life with indescribable joy and wonder. The idea of her growing up, discovering the world of imagination, and experiencing the beauty of stories motivated me to create this tale. While she may be too young to understand it now, I wrote those stories with the hope that one day, she will find joy in reading them and connect with the lessons and values within it.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Not really. My writing process usually starts with a brainstorming session where I jot down ideas. I then create an outline and draft the story, often revising multiple times.
At work I have often time to work on my books so strangely this is the place where I mostly do it.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
When I was an early reader, my parents used to buy all the walt Disney story books. So I grow up reading those great story for kids who taught me about imagination and creativity and are also a part of my inspiration for writing books. I used to also read teddy ruxpin adventures and Mr. Men & Little Miss books. These books influence my work today in many ways. They taught me how powerful a simple but meaningful story can be, and how much young readers connect with characters who feel genuine and familiar. When I write, I strive to blend imaginative adventures with themes that are close to home for kids, just like those books did for me. They’ve shown me the importance of balance—keeping a story entertaining while embedding a lesson that resonates. It’s a lasting influence that helps me create stories that both delight and teach, making them memorable for young readers.
What are you working on now?
I’m currently working on a new children book which the main character is a cute snail. The story’s values are curiosity, friendship, teamwork, persistence, and appreciating life’s simple joys. It should be out just in time for Christmas.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
