Interviewing children's book author jude lennon

Here is Children's author Jude Lennon I had the privilege of interviewing Her on my blog.

Q1. when did you decide you were going to write a book?

A. I was an Early Years (Kindergarten) teacher for 18 years so I was always writing. When I set up my storytelling business I told one of the stories I'd made up and a little boy asked me if I could put it in a book. The rest, as they say, is history...

Q2. how did you come up with the name of your books

A. Sometimes thinking of the title is the hardest bit. The Lamby series was easy as I knew Lamby or Flossie's name needed to be in the title. Some of them I've asked readers to help with ideas.

Q3.what are you working on now for 2018?

A. I've just released Lamby goes Camping which got to no 2 in its Amazon category chart. This book features my lamb mascots and my VW campervan Buttercup. I'm also working on the second Awesome About Autism book with Hal's Books. And towards Christmas, I aim to release a collection of stories featuring Lamby and Flossie when they traveled to South America last year.

Q4.how long have you been writing?

A.I've been writing as long as I can remember but I've been published for nearly three years.

Q5.What advice would you give other authors?

A. Write something every day! Read a lot of the genre/type of book you want to write. Go on courses, workshops etc. Network, marketing and being proactive are vital. Writing the book is the easy bit, selling it is another thing altogether!

Q6.were can people find you online?

A. I can be found at www.littlelambpublishing.co.uk and on facebook.com/JudeLennonAuthor Twitter @JudeLennonBooks and Instagram judelennonbooks

Q7.do you have a plan on making more books in the future?

A. I always have plans for books!

Q8. how many books have you written?

A. I have written 13 to date. Some have been commissions for charities and local businesses as well as my own ventures. And three have been collaborations.

Q9. did you go to college to be a writer?

A. I trained to be a teacher but I did study English Literature/Lang/Drama as part of that. I don't think this is essential though. Sometimes formal education focuses too much on rules of writing rather than the actual content and characters.

Interviewing Author Grahame Peace Q1. Tell me about yourself what are your favorite books to read? A. I’m 61 years of age and was born in the Northern Textile Town of Huddersfield in England where I still live with my partner. I like many genres of books, but I don’t like anything too dark; before I retired I worked for many years in Mental Health Services in the UK, so I had more than my fill of ‘life’, and the ups and downs it can throw at people. So, I tend to go for books that offer escapism, I also like history, autobiographies, and biographies. At the moment I’m enjoying the fictional book ‘The Haunting of Ashburn House by Darcy Coates. I say I’m retired, but I now consider myself to be an author, I treat it as a full-time job, working on my books for several hours most days. Q2. when did you decide you were going to write a book? A. I retired from my job with the National Health Service in the UK nearly five years ago now; I’d already started my first book by th

Interviewing Author Shannon Taylor Vannatter Q1. Tell us about yourself. What are your favorite books to read? A. I started reading clean romance when I was fourteen. I married my high school sweetheart and worked as a hairdresser for ten years. Once insurance became important, I went to work at a bank and the corporate offices of a large fragrance company. After our son was born, I became a stay at home mom. I love reading Christian Contemporary Romance. Q2. Where did the inspiration to write come from? A. There came a time when I couldn’t find anything clean anymore when I was in my early thirties, so I decided to write what I wanted to read. My characters kept praying and talking to God and I realized I was writing Christian romance instead of merely clean. It took me nine and a half years to get published. Q3. How did you come up with the titles of your books? A. I start with a working title that fits the theme of the book. Sometimes, I change it as
