Interview With Author Michelle Gauvreau
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Hello, my name is Michelle Rice-Gauvreau. I am an adoptee and first time author. I’ve written one book so far about my life and the circumstances surrounding my adoption.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Who Am I? It was inspired by my own adoption and the circumstances that led me to where I am today.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Nothing too unusual. I always write at night and sometimes stay up all night with those pesky midnight edits and formatting.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Denise Linn – Kindling the Native Spirit.
What are you working on now?
I am working on a second book about Spiritual Animals that have messages or healing effects.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Hiring a publicist who can lead you down the right path. If you cannot afford one, use social media and promote your book that way. Have family and friends promote the book too. Also, approach book stores and ask if they will host your new book with a book signing event.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Don’t quit. Keep going. There will be times you will feel you cannot do or ask yourself why, believe me, you will be glad when you are published. It’s a great accomplished feeling.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Keep going. You’ve got a story to share!
What are you reading now?
Spare – Prince Harry
What’s next for you as a writer?
I would like to do a number of book signings and interviews as time permits. In the meantime, I’ve started 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?
Spare -Prince Harry
Kindling the Native Spirit – Denise Linn
When I Talk To God, I Talk About You – Chrissy Metz & Bradley Collins
