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



A. Chicken Lips came to life because of my twin daughters! They inspired me to write his story about a year ago! With the help of my publisher, I felt confident in putting myself out there! 


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

A. CHICKEN LIPS is the name of our real life, oddly named cow! The title was a no-brainer for me. Note to future readers, you must say Chicken Lips in your silliest voice. 

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

A. Working on a sequel and I  have had approval on another completely different book called, 'My house is small'. I'm also keeping insanely busy doing free school visits! 


Q 4. how long have you been writing?

A. I had this amazing teacher in the first grade who really helped shape my love of writing! (Not to mention, my mom works in a school media center! Writing and reading is just ingrained in me) 

Q 5. What advice would you give other authors?

A. Stay true to yourself! What works for some, doesn't work for others. Take time to enjoy the moments!
Learn from my mistake and do not book 3 school visits in the same week! So exhausting! 
Stay positive. Help others. 

Q 6.  where can people find you online?

A. @authorkristyhamby on Instagram 
@authorkristyhamby on Facebook

A.Yes! Trying to decide which to put out first!

Q 8 how many books have you written 

A.About 4. I have a few others in the works or that I'm brainstorming!

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
