Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I live in beautiful Southern California. I am a full time writer. My first book Knock, Knock, Knocking on Heaven’s Door was recently released on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Kindle and Nook.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Knock, Knock, Knocking on Heaven’s Door – By Tammy Lyons
My love of music inspired this book. “There is something mysterious about the deaths of Janis Joplin, Jimmy Hendrix, and Jim Morrison. They were members of the 27 Club, young musicians at the height of their careers, cut short.
Their influences as musicians are still felt today. I took a dream and weaved a tale of what could be.” Her second book will be a romantic novel with ethereal undertones.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I love to drink green tea and write a quit book store when not looking for peace you can find my nose buried in a book or two.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Christopher Moore books are always written with a twist you do not see coming. He is one of my favorite authors of today.
What are you working on now?
I am currently writing a romance story with a twist of two, including a dream that comes alive.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Rejection can motivate you to keep going. Don’t let anyone tell you your not good enough because you don’t see their name on a book do you?
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
No review is bad. Its better to get your name out then to worry about what it says. Keep plugging away it does not matter what others think it matters what you think.
What are you reading now?
“OK” magazine I cannot stop laughing at the one sided observations. It’s just too funny. Did you know some celebrity was born with web toes? You just have to laugh.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Continue to travel the world and observe people in their natural habitats. You can learn a lot by sitting at a café and watching the world go by.
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?
Anything by Christopher Moore. I hope I have a flashlight because I wont be able to sleep at night. So not bringing Stephen King.
