Interview With Author Greta Rose West
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
To date, I have written twelve full-length novels, three short novellas, and three stories that are nowhere near finished or fully realized yet.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My next release (7/31/25) is Roads Behind Us. It’s a single-dad romance and it explores love after loss. I was raised by a single dad, so that’s where a lot of the funny moments in the book come from.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Must have coffee and music!
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Tim Sandlin, Barbara Kingsolver, and oddly (considering I write western romance), JR Ward. JR writes paranormal romance, and her Black Dagger Brotherhood series is one of my absolute faves.
What are you working on now?
At the moment, I’m working on two books. Forever Finds Us is the 7th book in my Wisper Dreams series. It’s a steamy billionaire romance set in my fictional town of Wisper, Wyoming. And then I’ve just started the 8th book in that same series. It doesn’t have a title yet.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I’m a “wide” author, meaning my books are not in Kindle Unlimited and are available on many ebook retailers, so to reach those readers I use several newsletter advertisers, like Awesome Book Promotion.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Just write. Even if you think what you’re writing sucks, even if you didn’t plot your idea out. Sometimes, I find the best ideas come if I just put my dang fingers on my keyboard. Also, start social media accounts now!
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Fake it till you make it.
What are you reading now?
I just downloaded Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver. I’ve been looking forward to reading it for a long time.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I will be in my writing cave. Don’t bother me unless you have cookies. Or pizza. Pizza is always welcome. 😉
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 Bean Trees, Barbara Kingsolver
Skipped Parts, Tim Sandlin
And probably one of my own books just so I could hug it.
