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

A. I enjoy reading historical fiction as it’s a completely different way of life and speech. However, I’m so glad I don’t live in those times, especially as a woman. 
Mostly, I read Christian contemporary fiction which is the genre I write.

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

A. More Than A Second Chance is based on a true story. I was inspired to share “Cassie’s” determination to help others although she’d been through so much disappointment and tragedy in her life. She’s an amazing woman and I thought she deserved a happy ending—that part is fictional and yet to come to pass in real life.

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

A.“Cassie” had made two major mistakes in her life and eventually a third, hence the title “More Than A Second Chance”

Q4. What are you working on for 2019?

A.My second novel in the “Single Again” series is called Acres of Promise. The women eventually moves to a dream property where restoration is found in her life.
The story is based on a single mother with a defiant teenage son. To lighten the story, there’s plenty of humor as she avoids Mr. Wrong until she finds Mr. Right.

Q5. How long have you been writing?

A. Up until two years ago, I wrote non-fiction, but now I focus on contemporary romance.

Q6. What advice would you give other authors? 

A. Immerse yourself with writing craft books and find a supportive critique group.

Q7. Where can people find you online?

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

A. I’ve signed a contract with Celebrate Lit for five novels to be released from 2022 working with five other authors in a box set series.

Q9. How many books have you written?

A. In fiction, I’ve written two novels and working on two currently.

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

A. No, I’ve learned mostly from reading other works, writing craft books and courses plus “Google it.” With the resources we have online, it’s wonderful how we can learn what we need at that time to directly apply to the project we have going. I also value my editors and critique partners. They help my work shine all the more.

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

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
