interviewing author Reid Kaplan


Q1.when did you decide you were going to write a book?

A. I knew for longer than 15 that I would one day write a book I just didn’t think it would be a children’s picture book. I finally decided to actually write a book when my wife was pregnant with our first child four years ago.

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

A. The name usually just pops into my head when I’m least expecting it to. This book came to me a little easier from story to title. The title of this story sums up the message and that’s what I was looking to do.

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

A. I am currently working on the 2nd book in the Let’s Eat Together series. I don’t want to give much away but you can expect the next set of characters to be in a completely different setting. However, one character will remain a constant in all the books. Find out who soon.


Q 4. how long have you been writing?

A. I have been writing since I was 17, so 22 years.


Q 5. What advice would you give other authors?

A. the advice I would give other authors is to never give up. Be open to criticism, always pick yourself up if your idea is knocked down, and re-writing is writing. You will most likely never nail the story on the first draft.



Q 6.  Where can people find you online?

A. For now, you can find out more information about our book at letseattogetherbook.com and we are also available on Amazon and kindle as well.




Q7 do you plan on making more books in the future

A. Yes, I have another book that will be coming out later next year called How Did That Mouse Get In Our House. A third book entitled Good Thing Bad Thing is heading to my editor, and 3 more books are currently being written with outlines done for an additional four more. So yes you can say I have plans for more. Haha!

Q 8 how many books have you written

A.  I have written 3 children’s books to date and am currently writing 3 more. I have also written 6 screenplays prior to children’s books.

Q 9 did you go to college to be a writer

A. I graduated in 2002 from The New York Film Academy so I did have writing, script writing, and storytelling classes. I transferred to this college in New York so I guess I did go to school to become a writer.

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

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
