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 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 Lanna Foley Webb

Interviewing Author Lanna Foley Webb Q1. when did you decide you were going to write a book? A. I read a book by a popular Christian author and I hated the way it ended! I have always had stories running around in my head, so I decided to write a story that would satisfy my romantic sensibilities in a moment of some sort of rebellion against the ending of that book. Q.2 how did you come up with the name of your books  A. The name of the book is the name of one of the main characters, and it so well encapsulates the driving source of the conflict that it seemed more than more fitting. Q. 3 what are you working on now for 20 18? A. I am currently working on two projects. The first is the next in the series after Lonesome Wolf. I'm loving the character more than I thought possible! The second is a western in the style of Louis L'Amour. It is interesting to me because I usually run to romances. Q 4. how long have you been writing? A.
