Interviewing Author M.C. Lee

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

A. In between writing and spending time with my family, I read, embroider,

garden, and teach small children at church. I prefer walking over

bicycles or cars, because my feet are less scary. (If I walk, I can read

at the same time, which is a nice bonus.) I read a wide variety of

books, but about 40% of them end up being fantasy. I've put a ton of

favorite-book-recommendations on my blog at mcleebooks.com.

Q2.when did you decide you where going to write a book?

A. I wrote stories

for most of my life, but never took them seriously until my daughter

asked me to write a particular story for her. I plotted a six-chapter

short story, which grew into an entire novel and then expanded to a

series.

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

A. Blood, sweat, and tears.

Titles are hard! I try to find something that has two meanings. For

instance, my first title, Wind of Choice, might mean something different

to the reader at the end of the book than it did at the beginning.

Q4. What are you working on for 2019?

A. I just published book 2, Seed of

War, and am editing book 3 while I write book 4 and list ideas for books

5 & 6.

Q5. How long have you been writing?

A. Seriously, about six years. But I've

dabbled all my life.

Q6. What advice would you give other authors?

A. Read a lot, write a lot,

and learn grammar.

Q7.where can people find you online?

A. mcleebooks.com,

https://www.facebook.com/mcleebooks

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

A. Of course! I have two

more books coming in the series, plus a collection of related short

stories. I also have an unrelated collection of short stories in

progress in a different genre.

Q9. How many books have you written?

A. Two published so far, three in

progress.

Q10 did you go to college to be a writer?

A. No. I'm a social scientist, but

my class in personality theory has served me well.

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 Lanna Foley Webb Q1. when did you decide you were going to write a book? A. I read a book by a popular Christian author and I hated the way it ended! I have always had stories running around in my head, so I decided to write a story that would satisfy my romantic sensibilities in a moment of some sort of rebellion against the ending of that book. Q.2 how did you come up with the name of your books A. The name of the book is the name of one of the main characters, and it so well encapsulates the driving source of the conflict that it seemed more than more fitting. Q. 3 what are you working on now for 20 18? A. I am currently working on two projects. The first is the next in the series after Lonesome Wolf. I'm loving the character more than I thought possible! The second is a western in the style of Louis L'Amour. It is interesting to me because I usually run to romances. Q 4. how long have you been writing? A.

so many books upon my bookself
