Interviewing Author Kimberley O'Malley

Q1. Tell me about your self?

A. I am a wife, Mom, Soccer Mom, Dog Mom, Psych RN, and writer--not necessarily in that order. I am originally from Scranton, Pa (home of The Office) who now lives in NC. I have lived in 3 states and 2 countries. I would wear flip flops every day if the weather allowed.

Q2.What are your favorite books to read?

A. I love to read contemporary romance and romantic suspense. My favorite books all have a HEA and do not end in a cliffhanger.

Q3. When did you decide you were going to write a book?

A. I wrote my first book in 2002. I did not set out to become a writer. My husband and I were in the middle of adopting our daughter from Russia. The wait became torturous. One day, I came home from work and poured out my frustrations into my computer. Coming Home was born. In about 3 weeks, I wrote over 100, 000 words. After many revisions, I finally published COming Home in 2017.

Q4. How did you come up with the name of your book?

A. The titles generally come easily for me and often before I have written the book.

Q5. What are you working on for 2021

A. I'm not quite sure. I have a new CR series that I just started, so I hope to write one or more books for that. One I have already started. I also hope to write another two books in my Cozy Mystery series.

Q6. How long have you been writing?

A. I have been published since 2017 but started writing in 2002.

Q7.What advice would you give other authors?

A. Never give up. Write every day, even if it's just a few words. Learn from others and take what works for you.

Q8. Where can people find you online?

A. Newsletter

Q9. What is your favorite coffee drink?

A. Oddly enough, I do not drink coffee. I do love Hot Chocolate...with the little marshmallows.

Q10. What is your favorite coffee shop?

A. See above...I do not like Starbucks, as I find their hot chocolate bitter. I do love Panera and often write there.

Q11. Do you plan on making a new book in the future?

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
