Interviewing author Kimberly Miller 


 Q1. Tell me about yourself -what are your favorite books to read?

A. I love reading books with strong characters and solid dialogue. Charles Martin is one of my favorite authors

Q2. When did you decide you were going to write a book?

A. I’ve been writing for years. My first novel, Picking Daisy, was actually written first as a screenplay but I wanted to get deeper into the psyche of the characters, so I turned it into a novel and have been writing novels since then (I still write some screenplays too)

Q3.How did you come up with the name of your books?

A. I am usually concerned about there being other books with the same title, so I like to add a character name as that distinguishes my title from others 

Q4.What are you working on for 2019?

A. I have several projects in the works currently, all clean romance novels

Q5. How long have you been writing?

A. I realized my love of stories in junior high and started with short stories

Q6.What advice would you give other authors? 

A. Keep writing, read a lot, and don’t stay down when you get kicked by rejection. Be creative in how you get your writing out there, enter contests, and join writer’s groups or workshops so that you’re constantly honing your craft. No one knows it all, so keep learning and growing.

Q7. Where can people find you online?



Q8.Do you plan on making more books in the future?

A. I imagine I’ll always be writing

Q9. How many books have you written?

A. I have written six total, though only two are published currently, and a novella is under contract. The other four are at various stages of being ready to go, and two of them are with my agent now as he works to find a publisher for them. The other two are almost ready to go.


Q10. Did you go to college to be a writer?

A. I have a Bachelor of Science in Writing, a Master of Arts in Writing and a Ph.D. in Composition. I always hoped I’d be published but also never really believed it would happen. I teach college film and writing classes now as my full-time job, but writing is definitely my passion, and likely always will be.

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
