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

A. I’m a SAHM and wife. I love to watch horror movies especially if it’s based on a Stephen King book. I am a huge fan of two phenomenal female authors, Kimberla Lawson Roby & Victoria Christopher Murry. They both write African American fiction. Their novels are so inspirational.

Q2. Where did the inspiration to write come from? 

A. Wow, I remember falling in love with writing in school. Being given an assignment that allowed me to create my own story was an incredible feeling. I would spend a lot of times in my room as a kid writing fun comic strips. But the day I made the profound decision to write a book. Was when I was in middle school and a classmate had a notebook with her own fiction story. I read it and thought to myself. Hmmm, I would write one better.


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

A.  A lot of brainstorming and researching to make sure the title isn’t already taken. I need my book titles to pop up in search without other book listings appearing above or below it. I thrive on uniqueness.





Q4. What are you working on for 2019? 

A. This year I’ll 
be releasing a stand-alone novella. It is a sequel to my debut novella, Testimonials Tales & Females. The book cover has been designed. I’m currently finishing up the draft to be sent to beta readers.

Q5. How long have you been writing? 

A. It’s been a long writing journey. 

Q6. What advice would you give other authors? 

A. Love your craft. Let your writing be your footprint to leave on the earth. 

Q7. where can people find you online?

A. My books are available wherever books are sold. People can find me on Facebook, IG, Twitter, & Goodreads. My website is www.jalissacarter.com

Q8. Do you plan on making more books in the future?

A. Absolutely! I feel like my books give me a purpose in life. I can’t wait to write more for book lovers. 

Q9. How many books have you written? 

A.  I’ve written too many to count. But, I’ve published two with book baby three on the way.

Q10 did you go to college to be a writer?

A. I actually went to college to be a wedding planner. But, I love attending writing seminars.

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
