Q1. Tell us about yourself. What are your favorite books to read?

A. Most recently I have worked as a production supervisor for EnterAktion Studios on a feature-length motion pictured called ‘’Dwegons and Leprechauns’’ it is/was on Netflix, My favorite writers are Rod sterling and Charles Dickens, I have always been creative ever since grade school. In the eighth grade, I wrote, directed and starred in a student film called ‘’Destination Destiny’’.  My favorites books are along the line of paranormal stories

Q2. Where did the inspiration to write come from?

A.  I wrote ‘’Dragons in the Clouds’’ 20 years ago. I first wrote it as a screenplay and my original thought was to develop ‘’Puff the magic dragon’’.  I always did love that song as I am sure you did. And I thought it would make a great story. I just recently reformatted it to the novel format


Q3. How did you come up with the titles of your books?

A. I first come up with plots and storylines. The titles usually start off as working titles meaning they are prone to change. And as soon as something catchy pops into my mind. I usually go with that first thought for my title.

Q4. Anything you're currently working in 2019?

A. I am working on a sequel for ‘’Dragons in the Clouds’’. I also have a finished story called ‘’Meaner than the Devil’’ which does need a rewrite or two.

Q5. How long have you been writing?

A.30 plus years. But only recently have I begun working full force on developing my writing career. It seems now or never.

Q6.  What advice would you like to give to other authors?

A. To never ever give up. The most important word in the English language is ‘’Try’’. As long as you try, you will never be a failure. Also to have a plan, a formula. I start my writing projects with an outline, a standard twenty-page treatment of the entire story, from beginning to end.

Q7. Where can we connect with you online?

A. Below are links to me and for ‘’Dragon in the Clouds’’

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

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,
