Interviewing Author Imani Lewis





1. Tell me about yourself?



My name is Imani Lewis, I’m a singer/songwriter, author, and voice actor. I just graduated with my Bachelor’s degree in Marketing a month after welcoming my brand new baby girl into the world. I’m getting married next month, so my world is pretty busy at the moment.



2.What are your favorite books to read?



I read so many different genres but recently I’ve been really into the dark bully romances for some reason. Every couple of months I’ll read different genres so I’m not stuck on one specific type of book. 



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



In October of 2019, a book idea came to me and I told myself I NEEDED to write it. A day after that, I found out about NanoWriMo so I participated that year and ended completing my debut novel, On A Cloudy Day. That was my first time ever completing a manuscript I started. 



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



It was the name of the first poem I created for the poetry book and I loved it so much. The poem came to me randomly one night and I was like “that’s a really good idea for a book”. 



5. What are you working on for 2021



I recently released my poetry book, Clouds are like People. I have the second book in my Cloudy Day series, Under the Moon, releasing in September and a holiday romance I’m very excited about called A Holiday with the Devil releasing in December. 



6. How long have you been writing?



I’ve been writing books since I was in elementary school because reading has always been a magical experience for me. I wanted to gift that experience to someone else with my words. 



7.What advice would you give other authors?



Never ever give up. I know that sounds cliche but it’s true. The minute you finally finish that manuscript will be the best feeling in the world. Please push yourself, do whatever it is you need to cross over that finish line. 



8. Where can people find you online?



I have a website: www.manitheauthor.com

9. What is your favorite coffee drink?



I like to drink Café Bustelo with HEAVY creamer. I like my coffee sweet.



10. What is your favorite coffee shop?



My kitchen! I don’t bother with going out when I can make it right at home while I’m working.



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



I do! I have so many books planned for 2021 and 2022 I’m so excited for you guys to read them! 



12. How many books have you written?



I have written a total of 5 books so far. 



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



I actually went to college originally to be a veterinarian. Then I changed my major to journalism due to my passion for writing, but ultimately settled on marketing because it fit me more

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. 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
