interviewing children's author Fiona faith Ross

This is Children's Book author Fiona Faith Ross.

She is Also a screenwriter and I am so happy I got to interview Her.

Q 1. when did you decide you were going to write a book?

A. I have two books on the go at any one time. This year I got one highly polished for publication.

Q2. how did you come up with the name of your books?

A. The names are usually related to the main character or a theme I am exploring. FLAT SQUIRREL is about Duggan, a flying squirrel. They're already kinda "flat" when they fly, but the name also hints at the theme, which is when life flattens people, they get up and try again. That's the idea, anyway.

Q3. what are you working on now for 20 18?

A. I'm also a screenwriter. I'm working on an adventure in ancient Egypt and also on FLAT SQUIRREL 2. These are both the novels and screenplay formats.

Q4. how long have you been writing?

A. Ten years full time, and part-time all my life.

Q5. What advice would you give other authors?

A. Write something every day. Form a good writing habit, if you feel like it or not. Don't wait for The Muse, because she's not reliable!

Q6. where can people find you online?

A. My Facebook writer's page is @fionafaithwriter. I have a blog ffross.com Duggan has his own twitter account and Instagram, @flatsquirrel2 FLAT SQUIRREL is on Amazon.

Q7.do you plan on making more books in the future?

A. Yes, I'm always writing. I plan to release a book a year from now on.

Q8. how many books have you written?

A. I've actually written five books but they're not quite ready for publication, but they will be.

Q9. did you go to college to be a writer?

A. I didn't go to full-time college but I take lots of courses, usually online ones. There is a mass of information now online, a lot of it free, for aspiring writers.

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
