Interview With Author Melinda Chase
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Hi, I’m Melinda Chase and I’m a lover of all things paranormal. I’m the owner of the boutique publisher Witchy Mysteries and enjoy bringing new readers and authors over to the witchy side. My Accidently Magical series is still on sale but if readers prefer a little less spice, the last book in my Magical at Midlife series is coming SOON.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
I’m not ready for the title reveal yet, but the last book in the Magical at Midlife series is coming! I will say there is the word “Pegasus” in the title and my readers will know all about the fae world and the Pegasus attached to it.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I have to have coffee. No matter what time of day it is, I need coffee.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Im a HUGE Genevieve Jack fan. Her Dragons of New Orleans series is absolute perfection.
What are you working on now?
I’m working on edits for my last Magical at Midlife book and excited for new books to come from my publishing company, Witchy Mysteries.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Word of mouth seems to be the best for me. I love readers sharing everything they can, usually it seems to be on Facebook.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Write the dang book then worry about marketing later.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Don’t be a jerk. Seriously, being nice can go a looooooooooong way, especially in publishing.
What are you reading now?
An eARC of Beth Prentice’s new book “In High Spirits”, coming July 29th.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Now that the Midlife series is over, I’m thinking maybe I need to revisit the Accidently Magical series and add a little bit more to that world.
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?
Okay. I think I’ve got this. The Dragon of New Orleans by Genevieve Jack, A Dashie Discovery by M. Alfano, and Robyn Peterson’s Fashionably Dead.
