interview Author Carl David Nuttall



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



A. Bizarrely, I first decided to write stories after speaking to my work colleagues. I briefly mentioned that I made stories up for my son and it was suggested that I write them down so as not to forget them. From there I just kept on writing and now I have self-published six books.


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

A. Coming up with the name for my first book was easy really! They are short story compilations so that was the first part done, then the second part was just a catchy title surrounding the fact that all of the stories contained animals. "Short Stories For Kids: Amazing Animal Adventures" just seemed like the logical choice!

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

A. Thinking of new stories has taken a bit of a back - burner for now. This is mainly owed to the fact that I am having several translations completed, all of which need editing before they can be sold. I am still going, though, that in any spare time I get I might get a chance to write a few more.



Q 4. how long have you been writing?

A. I have only been writing since October 2017 although really enjoy doing it. For me, this is more of a hobby than a job as my real job is supporting the family and playing with the kids!


Q 5. What advice would you give other authors?

A. Never give up on anything! I always say that if somebody tells you that you "can't" do something then what they really mean is "I can't" so don't let anybody tell you NO!

Q 6.  we're can people find you online?

A. Currently, my main presence is on Amazon although I am constantly striving to increase the sales platforms my books' are available on. I have also recently published eBooks on Kobo and am looking at Barnes & Noble (Nook) for paperbacks and hardbacks

Q7 do you plan on making more books in the future 

A. Yes. I currently have several projects ongoing although I do intend to continue to release more titles as and when they are completed. After each compilation book, I like to write a longer single story for older children so, after I have decided on the subject, this should be available fairly soon.

Q 8 how many books have you written 

A.  6. Three short story compilations - Short Stories For Kids: Amazing Animal Adventures, Short Stories For Kids: More Amazing Animal Adventures & Short Stories For Kids: Extra Amazing Animal Adventures. The three longer stories are Alex The Aspiring Astronaut: Amazing Adventure Through Space, Harry The Historian: Amazing Adventure Through Time & Noah The Nursery Newbie: Amazing Zombie Adventure.


9 did you go to college to be a writer

A. No. Actually, I studied accounting at College and this is where my experience is so everything I do with regards my writing is a new experience. Its amazing fun and a great adventure in itself!

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
