Interviewing Author Carl David Nuttall



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


A. Bizarrely, I first decided to write stories after speaking to my work colleagues. I briefly mentioned that I made stories up for my son and it was suggested that I write them down so as not to forget them. From there I just kept on writing and now I have self-published six books.

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

A.  Coming up with the name for my first book was easy really! They are short story compilations so that was the first part done, then the second part was just a catchy title surrounding the fact that all of the stories contained animals. "Short Stories For Kids: Amazing Animal Adventures" just seemed like the logical choice!

Q. 3 what are you working on now for 20 18?

A.  Thinking of new stories has taken a bit of a back - burner for now. This is mainly owed to the fact that I am having several translations completed, all of which need editing before they can be listed. I am still going, though, that in any spare time I get I might get a chance to write a few more.



Q 4. how long have you been writing?

A.  I have only been writing since October 2017 although really enjoy doing it. For me, this is more of a hobby than a job as my real job is supporting the family and playing with the kids!




Q 5. What advice would you give other authors?

A.  Never give up on anything! I always say that if somebody tells you that you "can't" do something then what they really mean is "I can't" so don't let anybody tell you NO!



Q 6.  where can people find you online?

A. Currently, my main presence is on Amazon although I am constantly striving to increase the sales platforms my books' are available on. I have also recently published eBooks on Kobo and am looking at Barnes & Noble (Nook) for paperbacks and hardbacks

Q7 do you plan on making more books in the future 

A. Yes. I currently have several projects ongoing although I do intend to continue to release more titles as and when they are completed. After each compilation book, I like to write a longer single story for older children so, after I have decided on the subject, this should be available fairly soon.

Q 8 how many books have you written 

A.  Three short story compilations - Short Stories For Kids: Amazing Animal Adventures, Short Stories For Kids: More Amazing Animal Adventures & Short Stories For Kids: Extra Amazing Animal Adventures. The three longer stories are Alex The Aspiring Astronaut: Amazing Adventure Through Space, Harry The Historian: Amazing Adventure Through Time & Noah The Nursery Newbie: Amazing Zombie Adventure.



Q 9 did you go to college to be a writer

A. No. Actually, I studied accounting at College and this is where my experience is so everything I do with regards my writing is a new experience. Its amazing fun and a great adventure in itself!

Interviewing Author  Margie Harding Q1. Tell me about your self?    A. I am a wife to Charles (47 years), momma to 5 grown children— four of which are married, with 17 grandchildren and another on the way!  I enjoy reading and writing and when I have the time, I enjoy quilting and studying all kinds of things!  I like learning!  My husband and I travel a good deal and plan to visit Alaska, the only state we haven’t been to in our married life!  I have a strong faith and believe God has given me the gift of writing for a purpose.  It took me a while to realize it, but the perspective of my writing includes writing for children with disabilities—- but not only for the children with the disability, but for the one who asks, ‘What’s wrong with my friend?’  This makes these books unique and a great resource for a classroom as a starting point for conversation.

A.  I write romantic suspense books and live on Lake Murray in beautiful South Carolina with my retired Navy husband, who is my go-to for colorful slang and guy talk. I have two grown children who live in Maine and San Diego. I like to write heroines who are relatable, everyday people with spunk and wit. Their only superpower is fierce independence. I’m an animal lover, and each of my three books has a dog in them. A tribute to the golden retriever that stole my heart for thirteen years and warmed my feet when I wrote on chilly mornings.
