interviewing children's author Holly Marcus

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

A. I decided to write a book after my second child was born. I quit my job to be a stay at home mom and found myself wondering what my kids would be like in the future. The two main characters in my book are based on my children but four years older. I also realized that there are many books out there that don't hold much educational value, and I wanted to create a book with the idea that kids inherently like learning and strive to learn on their own.

Q.2 how did you come up with the name of your books

A. The name of my book, The Best Treehouse in the World, comes from the way I end each chapter. The main character says, "This a great treehouse, but there is something missing..." Then she finds a way to improve it and by the end of the book, she has the best treehouse in the world.

Q. 3 what are you working on now for 20 18?

A. I am currently not working on anything new, but I am spending a lot of time reading aloud with my kids and learning from some great children's writers like E. B. White and Kate DiCamillo.

Q 6. where can people find you online?

A. Q6. Please visit the book page on Facebook @TheBestTreehouseintheWorld at https://www.facebook.com/thebesttreehouseintheworld

Q7 do you plan on making more books in the future

A. am not sure if I will write another book. But, I have had some sweet children ask me if there will be a sequel, so maybe!

Q 8 how many books have you written

A. I have only written one book.

Q 9 did you go to college to be a writer

A. I went to college to study physics and education. I was a high school science teacher for many years and I love to help people learn (especially about science), which is why my book involves STEM topics.

I was so glad I got to interview her for my blog :)!

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

Interview Author Gabriella Messina Q1. Tell me about yourself what are your favorite books to read? A. I’ve found that, as I continue to grow as a writer, I’ve grown more selective as a reader. I tend to choose books from the same genres that I write… mysteries, historical fiction, fantasy… and I gravitate back to older books more than newer. I like stories that move at a good, steady pace, almost like a well-made film; that isn’t preachy, but still, give you something to think about; and that have well-developed characters that act like real people. Q2.when did you decide you were going to write a book? I’d been A.writing screenplays since the early 2000s and I’d gotten some notice for them, but getting into that industry is notoriously difficult and expensive. Then I learned about the rise of indie publishing, KDP and such, and decided to try adapting the stories into novels. Q3. How did you come up with the name of your books? A. Poetry, songs,

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
