interviewing children's author Stacy Bauer

Q.1.

when did you decide you were going to write a book?

I've

enjoyed writing since I was a child. I became a teacher and had 2 children, but I've always wanted to write a book, so last year, I took a leave from my teaching job and took the leap to become a published author!

Q.2 how did you come up with the name of your books

I wanted to write about something I know a lot

about, so my books are based on my 2 children. I wanted to use animals for the characters because I thought then every child could relate to the characters. I chose kangaroos because they are cute, can jump high and get into things and can put things in their pouches The series name is "Cami Kangaroo and Wyatt Too" because my kids are named Cami and Wyatt and "kangaroo" and "too" rhyme. I made a list of things my kids have done, as well as the lesson it could teach. I started with "too many sweets", because sneaking treats

were something my daughter Cami started doing pretty young (3 years old!).

Q. 3 what are you working on now for 2018? The

next book in my series is called "Cami Kangaroo Has Too Much Stuff" and it's about my daughter hoarding things and not being able to find anything in her room. I feel this is an issue many kids have and a lot of parents are dealing with. Q 4. how long have

you been writing? Since I was a child. Q 5. What advice would you give other authors? Do a little every day. Find other authors to support you (there are many)- join author groups on Facebook. Do your research! Read everything you can find about marketing-

that's the hardest part! Q 6. Where can people find you online?

Q 8 how many books have you written

Q 9 did you go to college to be a writer

No, I have an elementary education teaching degree and a master's degree in

math education, however, I have taken many writing classes, both in high school and college.

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,
