Interviewing Author  Sylvia Pell


1. Tell me about yourself? 


Answer: I always loved to read and had a vivid imagination as a young child.  My daydreaming would turn into imaginative stories.  My inner thoughts of passions, inspirations, and dreams would transpire into poems, short stories, and some art doodling.  I enjoy music, painting, and traveling.  I love being a Nana to my grandson!  I live in the beautiful state of Texas with my husband and bulldog. 

2.What are your favorite books to read? 

Answer: As my journey in life started reading as a young child, I enjoyed the Nancy Drew & Hardy Boy series.  I also had a fancy with Judy Blume & VC Andrews series books in my early teen years.  I later branched out to various types of non-fiction Christian books, and Real Estate platforms.  I was eager to learn everything I could get my hands on; to better myself as an individual and advance within my career. 

 

The enjoyment of relaxing outdoors with my favorite thriller type of books; Ruth Ware, Lucy Foley, Karen Slaughter, AJ Finn, BA Parris to name a few of my top author books!

3. When did you decide you were going to write a book? 

Answer: I always had a passion for writing short stories and poems.  It is a way to be creative within your inner self, to bring out the vivid imagination of characters.  Developing a story expresses your personality characteristics through creative writing techniques!


4. How did you come up with the name of your book? 

Answer: I originally planned to focus on the ABC’s and bilingual language for young readers.  However, there are several bilingual languages for early learning.  I formed my title idea; English/Spanish Alphabet Children’s Book.

5. What are you working on for 2021-

Answer:  I just published my first children’s book this year.  My 2021 project is another English/Spanish story about “my grandson’s first adventure trip.” 


6. How long have you been writing? 

Answer:  I started writing in my early years with journals, poems, and then became intrigued with short stories.  The fascination of writing a children’s book was an inspired idea from the birth of my grandson; the passion to write my first children’s bilingual book for early learning.  My grandson is now being taught English and Spanish in the blended culture of an El Salvadorian and American family household.

 

For my pleasure writing, I enjoy my personal blog (www.pellrevive.com) on topics of real estate, design tips & DIY.

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
