If (I should practice The Secret and say “When”) my book is published, and if (I should practice The Secret and say “When”) it becomes successful enough to be made into a film, I’ll likely be getting asked questions about where I came up with the story, what my writing process is like, and how …

Author of the Irish Fortune Series One of the best parts of interviewing published authors, is that I am meeting some fascinating people from all over the world. Also, I’m getting to talk to people who write in different genres than I’m used to reading, which is always a great way to expand the mind. …
Author of Something to Live For and When We Were Young You’ve heard it said that the world works in mysterious ways. I have to agree. Take, for example, a recent trip to a bargain store where I ran to buy Scotch tape. I passed by a small offering of books, a dollar each, and …
Author of The Hollow Man Series Although I’ve heard of people who have been “everywhere,” I’ve never met one until now. Hearing what I’m sure is the tip of the iceberg on Paul Hollis’s word travels, conjures up Johnny Cash singing “I’ve Been Everywhere” in a smokey bar, or maybe Folsom Prison. Hollis says that …

Author of Crushed Scales, Crushed Horn, & Crushed Wings Not knowing much about the fantasy genre, I was excited that author May Howell agreed to this interview! Her books have readers hungry for more, which might have to do with the romance she includes in her stories. Who doesn’t enjoy a good Will they, won’t …
There is a lot of criticism floating around (like that annoying, sticky yellow pollen that ruins summer for a lot of us) about self-publishing being less legitimate than traditionally published books. Many naysayers (how many of them have published anything, self or traditional?) claim that all self-publishing really means is that your writing wasn’t good …
Author of The Art of Looking for Trouble I initially discovered author Tom Cosentino on Twitter, where I was immediately impressed by his bio. He is an Army veteran, who holds an MBA, and has experience as a chef and literary fiction editor. He is very supportive of his fellow writers and followers on Twitter, …
Author of Taking on Water and Redemption Grove All my life, I’ve dreamed of being a published author. I’ve imagined how it would feel to hold my book in my hands, do public book signings, and have my thoughts pumped out into the world. I’m still hoping to get that novel published one day, but …
