Interviewing Author Tammy Thompson


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

A. I read a ton of Andrew Wommack books for growing my relationship with God as well as the Bible on a daily basis. I also invest in reading marketing books to learn how to get my books in the hands of those looking for my book. In between all that I enjoy reading sweet, uplifting stories.

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

A. In 2017 the story started to live in my head and develop. My youngest son had suffered nightmares for years and every night he would pray and ask God to have only good dreams and no bad dreams. So I started to wonder what a place like that would be like. A place children who suffered from chronic nightmares could escape to, someplace safe and full of hope. That is how the story began. 

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

A. The Land of Good Dreams is the name of the first book and also the name of the book series. It comes from my son’s prayers asking to have all good dreams and no bad dreams. 

Q4. What are you working on for 2019? 

A. I am finishing up The Dream Lures, book 2 in The Land of Good Dreams series which will hopefully be released late this summer. I have plans to try to get book 3 started if not complete by the end of the year. I also have a standalone nonfiction book titled God is Able, which is  based on 2 Corinthians 9:8, and that is about to go to my editor. That will be out sometime this year along with a study guide for Bible study groups.

Q5. How long have you been writing? 

A. I self published my first book Hope Holds You in 2011 under my real name Tammy Thompson. Now I publish under my pen name T. S. Thompson.

Q6. What advice would you give other authors?  

A. Write from your heart with a purpose to encourage readers. But be prepared to learn how to sell. Marketing as an author is as much work if not more work than writing the book.


7. Where can people find you online?

Q8. Do you plan on making more books in the future? 
A. Yes. God has been giving me stories my whole life and I would write them down but never knew what I was to do with them. Now I feel the calling of authorship on my life and I plan to write till the day the Lord brings me home.

Q9. How many books have you written? 

A. I have two published with 2-3 more being published this year.

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

A. No, but everything you need to know to become a writer can be found online. 

11.  What is your favorite coffee or tea? 

A. I drink organic black coffee, green tea with jasmine, and lavender chamomile tea.

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

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
