Interviewing Author Leanne DeLeeuw Books

1. Tell me about yourself?

I grew up in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, and now live with my husband and elementary-aged children- Wade, Ruby, and Olive in Carrot Creek, Alberta. I am a Stay at Home Mom and am a substitute teacher at a local school this year.

2.What are your favorite books to read?

I love reading non-fiction as hearing other people's stories always interests me.

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

The idea for this book came to me one Sunday in May of 2019. I used the summer to write and create my illustrations and then spent the fall/ winter figuring out how to self-publish.

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

The title came to me pretty quickly. As I was writing this a parent's message to their child I thought that 'Letter to My Child- The Story of You' was very fitting.

5. What are you working on for 2021

Promotion of 'Letter to My Child' and hopefully getting some more writing done on my other book 'project'.

6. How long have you been writing?

I remember loving writing stories in school as far back as elementary. I wrote stories for my friend's throughout High School, and have another story in the works as well.

7.What advice would you give other authors?

Be willing to ask other authors for advice or help- especially when self-publishing. It will take a lot of hard work, but keep persevering!

8. Where can people find you online?

My website is: https://www.leannedeleeuwbooks.com or on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/leannedeleeuwbooks

9. What is your favorite coffee drink?

I don't really drink coffee, but the closest I guess would be a Mocha. Well, Iced Capps are pretty good too. More often though, I prefer tea.

10. What is your favorite coffee shop?

I honestly don't really have any preference, my good Canadian answer though would be Tim Hortons.

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

In short, yes. It is not a Children's Book, and I am about 35,000 words into it. It has been a long, slow work in progress, but hopefully, soon I will wrap it up!

12. How many books have you written?

This is my first.

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

No, I have my Bachelor of Physical Education and Bachelor of Education degrees.

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

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
