Interviewing Author Reka Hall

Tell me about yourself? What are your favorite books to read?

Hi, and thank you for having me. My name is Reka Hall, I am originally from Hungary and lived in Brighton for over 10 years. After I finished university in Pecs and got a degree as Maths and Computer Science teacher, I came to the UK for a summer, and here I am 11 years later married, being a mum, and settled down.

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

How long have you been writing?

I started writing when my daughter was born 6 years ago. My dad passed away 6 months after she was born, and writing helped with my anxiety, it was always easier for me to express myself in the written word. I also felt talking to kids was somehow easier than talking to adults, so I chose to write stories for kids. My debut book, When Millypop and her mummy visited Ice Cream Land came out just at the end of August.

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

The name came from my daughter’s nickname, which she only accepted from me, however now she says it’s her disguised name.

What are you working on for 2020?

I started working on another 3 Millypop book drafts however

What advice would you give to other authors?

You need to believe in your book and yourself to be able to widen your audience, and yes there is a selling part too. Marketing is important, however can be also costly, if you research you could see that some companies will help for a fraction of the money or for a subscription. You need to buy copyright as well so no one can steal your illustrations or work in the future.

Where can people find you online?

My website is here where you can also find my Facebook, Twitter, Youtube channel, and Instagram

Do you plan to make more books in the future?

Yes, although When Millypop and Her Mummy visited Ice Cream Land was my debut book so please bear with me till the next one is coming

My favorite fast food is fried chicken, healthy food is corn on the cob or a salad and my favorite drink is fruit tea.

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

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.

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,

so many books upon my bookself
