Interviewing Author  Melissa Little


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

A. I don’t typically re-read books, but my favorite books of all time are Cry, the Beloved Country; Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows; Fiddler’s Green; Les Miserables; and The Help. I will admit to re-reading a few of those. I also read lots and lots of middle-grade because I write for a middle-grade review company and write in that industry.

Q2. Where did the inspiration to write come from? 

A. I’ve been writing “books” since the age of 9. I decided to write The Book of Secrets, my book that releases this August, around early 2016. 

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

A. I stole it from The Book of Secrets by Deepak Chopra and I feel no shame. 



Q4. Anything you're currently working in 2019? 

A.  My very first book releases August 15th and that’s kept me busy all year. 

Q5. How long have you been writing? 

A.  I began writing on March 1, 2006. 

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

A. My advice is read, read, and read because that’s actually the best (dare I say only) way to learn to write. 

Q7. Where can we connect with you online?

A. I don’t like Facebook, so the best place for people to contact me is on Instagram @mllittleauthor, or my blog, mllittleauthor.blogspot.com 

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

A. The Book of Secrets is book one in a series of three. The other two need editing but I would love to be able to publish them someday. 

Q9.How many books have you written?

A. That’s actually a countless number because as a kid I spit out “books” like I was a vending machine and I still have them all in binders. If you mean published books, I only have one. 

Q10.Did you go to college to be a writer?


A. No, I’m almost done with my bachelor’s in Biblical Studies and I plan to get a Master’s in theology.

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
