Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I count myself lucky to be able to say I’m not sure how many books I’ve written. That is, should I count my novels that are complete but aren’t worth publishing? I suppose not, since you’ll likely never see those, so the relevant answer is that I have six novels (and one novella) currently available and published, and a seventh and eighth soon to come. And yeah, before that, going back to my teens, I wrote at least three or four others that were pretty darn terrible but which were all part of the learning process and therefore were valuable in their way.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The latest one released is ‘Immortal’s Spring,’ which wraps up the trilogy beginning with ‘Persephone’s Orchard.’ The inspiration there was simply the Persephone/Hades myth–I loved the Greek myths as a kid, and that story stuck with me as having a lot of dramatic potential and unanswered questions I could flesh out. So I finally did, and it became a three-book series.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I mess with the font a lot, in whatever my work-in-progress is. Probably every couple of weeks, I change the entire manuscript into a new font, to see how the prose strikes me when it looks different. Strangely, this actually helps me find and fix clunky spots. But I think it’s also a form of procrastination.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
Some of my favorite classics I’ve adored since reading them in my teens, for all the magic and love they bring me every time: ‘The Secret Garden’ by Frances Hodgson Burnett, ‘Les Misérables’ by Victor Hugo, ‘Jane Eyre’ by Charlotte Brontë, ‘A Room with A View’ by E.M. Forster. And I admit to the occasional obsession with something more modern like the early books of Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles, or Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings.

What are you working on now?
I’m finishing up final edits on ‘The Goblins of Bellwater,’ a stand-alone novel about a goblin curse affecting the lives of people in a small Puget Sound town. It’s based loosely on Christina Rossetti’s poem “Goblin Market.” And I’m also getting close to having a full draft of a guy/guy love story, romantic-comedy style, which has been incredible fun to work on.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I think it’s good to try a lot of different sites and methods; book tours, bloggers, social media, and in-store appearances all have their benefits. Goodreads has stood out as a very active site where you’re likely to find a lot of avid readers if you interact there (as a reader–not just as a writer promoting your stuff).

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Being professional and considerate in all your interactions is of key importance! It’d be fabulous if everyone on the internet could remember to treat everyone else on the internet that way, yes, but it’s doubly important for authors or anyone else making a public name for themselves. You want to come across as someone who’s a pleasure to work with, not as someone who’s a headache. If anyone’s taking the time to read your words, do your best to find gratitude for them, even if they’re critical about what they’ve read.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
EVER ever? I suppose it’s essentially: no one else is responsible for your happiness. This means living for external validation is counterproductive, which is in turn almost a paradox for authors, who HAVE to take reviews and editor/reader opinions into consideration to some degree. But the balance can be managed if you try.

What are you reading now?
Among other things, I’m in the middle of Rachel Morgan’s Creepy Hollow series–really cool faery-world novels. Good fantasy is always a delight for me. And I keep finding myself browsing Dreamspinner Press and similar sites for male/male romance, which is another of my reading joys.

What’s next for you as a writer?
Once I’ve wrapped up the draft of my own male/male romance, I’ll have to choose what to work on next, which I haven’t entirely decided yet. So I may have a month of exploratory pre-writing ahead to sort that out and choose my next obsession.

If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
The limitation of this idea terrifies me! Can’t we make it 3,000 or 4,000? Still, I guess I’d choose nice thick ones to keep me as occupied as possible. Maybe that unabridged ‘Les Misérables’ ought to be one of them.

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a software developer and entrepreneur by day. Always looking for ways to use software to create new business opportunities.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Business Software Development: Principles and Practice – Written because, throughout my programming career, I’ve seen the same basic mistakes being made over and over again!

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I don’t think so – how do you know if they are unusual?

What authors, or books have influenced you?
I guess I am (negatively) influenced by many of the technical books I’ve read to date. They typically tend to be far too wordy, as if being paid by the word. I prefer short, precise text with little superfluousness.

What are you working on now?
A book aimed at non-technical executives (or indeed anyone who manages tech people or departments) but do not understand all the jargon or how the technology fits together and relates to each other. Kind of a crash course in corporate, web and app computing.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
No idea yet – too early to say

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Likewise, I’m too green to be giving out advice.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Treat others how you want to be treated yourself.

What are you reading now?
Nothing – I’m busy writing…

What’s next for you as a writer?
I have several books planned – see my website!

If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
Desert Island Dishes (a cook book)
How to Survive on a Desert Island
Wilderness Survival For Dummies
(very pragmatic: I guess anything for leisure would be short-lived, so I’d prefer some practical skills…)

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I grew up in the Norwegian Arctic but left the long winters behind in 2001. Then I earned a physiotherapy degree in the Netherlands, where I also worked with elite athletes. After a screenwriting stint in L.A. in 2007–08, I eventually ended up in the suburbs of balmy Atlanta, Georgia. Among other jobs, I’ve worked for four years as a healthcare director, hiring medical personnel and treating patients while writing stories. But usually not at the same time. The Norse gods just wouldn’t leave me alone, and so far I’ve written three books about them.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Last God Standing is the title of my latest book and it will be released on February 15, 2017. It’s based on Norse mythology, but I’m mixing it up with sports psychology, modern science, and a lot of action and humor. My main character has to take Loki to the land of the giants, and it gets pretty wild and crazy as he attempts to prevent Ragnarok and the end of the nine worlds.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I probably do. I have a pre-performance ritual based on sports psychology that I go through before every writing session. I’m a trained physiotherapist and a former athlete, so I’m using the techniques that work for me and I experiment with new techniques to improve my flow and output. My habits involve some of the techniques that the main character in my books also uses for his performance. A Norse god suffering from chronic self-doubt needs a few tricks up his sleeve.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
Many. But the most important fiction authors are probably Charles Bukowski, J. R. R. Tolkien, Lewis Carroll, Stanislaw Lem, and Douglas Adams. Influential nonfiction authors are Jared Diamond, Yuval Harari, Jim Collins, Terry Orlick, Lynn Margulis, Antonio Damasio, and Robert Wright.

What are you working on now?
The fourth book in the Endangered Norse Gods series. Yes, they’re an endangered species.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I’m hoping the Awesomegang’s website.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
There’s nothing harder than being an indie author. Experiment and find the methods that work for you, and forget about anybody else’s advice.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
For authors: focus on building your mailing list.
For general performance: Your self-worth stays the same no matter what. From every situation extract what you need and then move on. Do the work and believe in yourself.

What are you reading now?
Carl Hiaasen’s Razor Girl and Jim Collins’s Great by Choice.

What’s next for you as a writer?
Tomorrow’s writing session and then focusing on my To Do-list.

If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
Charles Bukowski’s Ham on Rye, Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings, and, since I’m stranded on a deserted island, maybe Bear Gryll’s Born Survivor: Survival Techniques from the Most Dangerous Places on Earth.

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Telling you about myself is difficult. There are so many things–enough to fill a book. How do you describe a person in a hundred words or less? Let’s take a crack at it.
Tall, amused, sardonic, sarcastic, and helpful. Quick of wit, slow of anger, easygoing, and relentless. Scorpio with some Zen and an overabundance of imagination.
A couple of centuries ago, I’d have been burned as a witch or a heretic. If they could catch me.
I’ve written five books so far–one sci-fi novel, “Luna,” and the first four books of the “Nightlord” series: “Sunset,” “Shadows,” “Orb,” and “Knightfall.” “Knightfall” isn’t out, yet; it’s in the final edits before I send it to the audiobook people.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
“Knightfall.” It’s the fourth book in the “Nightlord” series.
As for inspiration, I’d have to say it was the first three that inspired the fourth. That, and entirely too many people in my head demanding to be put into a story.
Oh, and a powerful need to eat.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
My most unusual writing habit is the tendency to not do anything else. I wake up, I make the grueling trek to my office–ten, twelve steps, something like that–and sit in front of my computer, keyboard clicking, until I notice I’m hungry. Then I eat, maybe start some laundry, and go back to writing.
Eventually, I get too tired to write. Then I go to bed and start over.
This process makes my hours a bit… unpredictable. I’ve woken up at seven in the evening, worked until noon the next day, and gone to bed until midnight.
It may be weird, but it seems to work.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
Oh, my. There’s quite a list.
Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury, E.E. “Doc” Smith, Roger Zelazny, Robert Heinlein, Steven Brust, Julian May, C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, Robert Silverberg… I could go on and on.

What are you working on now?
“Knightfall.” This fourth book in the “Nightlord” series picks up where “Orb” left off and sees our narrator/protagonist coming to grips with enemies he’s made, problems he brought on himself, and the difficulties of being a king… as well as the difficulties of *not* being a king.
“You can’t win for losing,” I believe the phase is.
Or can you?

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Promoting? Uh… I don’t know.
I suffer from what I believe to be a fairly common problem for a writer. I write stuff. I don’t know how to promote or market or advertise or whatever. Moreover, I don’t want to. I just want to sit in my darkened little room, alone with my thoughts and my stories, and push books out into the world in exchange for electricity and food. Is that too much to ask?

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Being a writer is the most glorious torture. You will love the agony. It’s not for the faint of heart, as you may have guessed. It involves bleeding into a story to give it life. It means putting a piece of yourself into words and releasing it to rise or fall on it’s own merits–always remembering, however, that it is a piece of you. People will love it… and hate it. And you will be tempted to take these feelings as a judgment on you, rather than on your story.
Write anyway.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
You can have peace. Or you can have freedom. Don’t ever count on having both at once.

What are you reading now?
Edward Gibbon’s “The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire”

What’s next for you as a writer?
A lot of screaming and hair-tearing as I edit “Knightfall.” After that, more screaming as I edit “Dragonhunters,” a fantasy novel about a group of would-be dragonslayers who go into a dragon’s lair… and lose. Badly. The short story is on Amazon, of course, but that’s only chapter two…
Then it’s off to the races with the next book in the “Nightlord” series! (Before someone who’s read Steven King’s “Misery” gets too anxious for it.)

If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
“Basic Survival”
“Fishing for Dummies”
“How to Build a Boat”
“Principles of Navigation”
I’m going to need them in order to get back to civilization so I can get back to writing!

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I started writing seriously while in nursing school. My university highly recommended that students not work during the 18 month, accelerated program because of the demanding course load and unpredictable clinical hours required, so I decided to become a writer. It offered flexible hours and helped me to feel productive.

I now have three published books. Purple Pup is my first novel, written for middle grade children. I also have two picture books, How Santa Changed and Bear Woke Up.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is Purple Pup, which is about some of the animals made by a company that is trying to become the world’s first major supplier of genetically modified pets.

The inspiration for Purple Pup came from reading an article about genetics. I had heard of genetic engineering before that, but I thought scientists were just tweaking a few genes here and there. I didn’t realize that spider genes had been inserted into goat DNA, so that the goats would produce spider silk proteins in their milk, or that fish genes were placed into the DNA of tomatoes, in hopes of making the tomato plants more resistant to frost.

It was learning about the successful creation of glow-in-the-dark cats that specifically inspired the story Purple Pup. I can still remember looking at the article’s photograph of the glowing cats. It was at that point that I sat back and realized, this is the future. More and more genetic engineering is going to take place and that sooner or later people are going to want these animals as pets.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Like most authors, I don’t have much time to write. A lot of my writing gets done while my kids are napping. I make up for this constraint by trying to brainstorm chapters ahead of time. That way I don’t stare at a blinking computer cursor later on.

This is probably one of the best perks about being an author. I can brainstorm anywhere. Waiting in line at the grocery store isn’t so bad anymore, because it gives me a chance to finish all my prewriting exercises.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
I was a fan of Gary Paulsen and Scott O’Dell as a kid. As far as writing goes, I wish they would have rubbed off on me a little more. I’m just trying my best and learning what I can.

What are you working on now?
Book one of a seven book series is currently being read by beta readers. If anyone is interested in becoming a beta reader, you can go to my website and send me an email.

Right now, I’m calling the book “Surviving Moose Lake.” I don’t really like to name my stories, and their titles often change a few times before they’re published. I’m asking my beta readers for their opinion about what the book should be called. I’m excited to see their ideas.

The series is about four sixth grade students that are forced to survive in seven different wilderness locations. Before they can return home from each location they need to accomplish a mission, such as finding a particular animal or climbing a mountain.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Its hard to say. I don’t have very good analytics. My own website is great for readers who already know of me or are fans. Amazon.com and Goodreads are good at allowing new readers to discover my books. I also post videos on YouTube, which helps people to learn about me and what I do.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Make sure to write. That’s the only difference between a writer and non-writer.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Time and tide for no man wait, be quick and prompt and don’t be late.

What are you reading now?
Fever 1793, by Laurie Halse Anderson.

What’s next for you as a writer?
I don’t know. I write whatever seems fun at the time. I plan to do that until it’s not fun anymore.

If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
The Bible, because it’s the only book worth reading more than once, and The Grapes of Wrath, because I never was able to finish it.

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I grew up in the outlying communities of southern Ohio during the 1970s and 1980s. After obtaining a degree in science, I’ve traveled down more than a few old, dirt southern roads toward the more rugged and wild parts of Ohio, West Virginia, and Kentucky to pursue my dream of farming, writing, and exploring remote areas. Along the way, I began to rescue old horses and always have a barn-full of stray animals. When I’m not cleaning stalls, riding horses, hiking, and writing, I’m always looking for an adventure. I find myself stuck more often than not, on muddy back roads in my old jeep searching for the remnants of old ghost towns and discovering ghost stories from those who live there along with the mysteries that come with them. I’m the author of romance-suspense novels: Redneck Run, Dead Broke Hearts, Dark Pines, The Dance Card, Whiskey Tango, Ghost Town – A Fairy Tale, and Monster Collector.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Dark Pines – I love watching crime shows and I love exploring old ghost towns. The two recently came together in a book after getting lost on a short road trip deep into the West Virginia and Kentucky mountains. When you’re lost and it gets dark outside your windshield with only a rutted muddy road beneath the tires, all sorts of imaginary themes come to mind, such–Dark Pines.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I write little notes on old receipts, pieces of envelope, tissue and whatever is sitting in front of me to remember to add some detail or so I don’t forget another. I’m one big pile of notes all over my desk, printer, computer and even out into the living room!

What authors, or books have influenced you?
I actually like short stories.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Amazon seems to be the go-to avenue for most writers.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Don’t stop believing in yourself even if others don’t. Surround yourself with people who believe in you. And don’t take all the reviews seriously. You may find that some reviews are competitors trying to destroy your credentials or people who do not believe in your same way of thinking.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
If you want to write the book, write it. If you sit down and nothing is coming, just start writing anyway. Force yourself to sit down for at least one hour a day. Once you’re past the first few chapters, it gets easier!

What are you reading now?
Ha ha, the 4-H rulebook for my kids.

If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
Just blank books so I can write on them!

I am a science writer and author with a background as a biologist. After graduating from the Aarhus University in Denmark, I studied at the University of California, Santa Cruz, as a Fulbright Scholar.
I have cofounded a whale center in northern Norway and remain involved in cetacean research and conservation. For more than a decade I served as the director of exhibitions at the Natural History Museum of Denmark and have twenty years’ experience making science and natural history accessible to the general public. I have written several books, but so far only “A Modest Genius” is available in English.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
I decided to write “A modest Genius” because it was the book I thought was missing in all the Darwin literature that is written. I wanted to write a book that is a good read, not just for people with a background in biology and science, and also a book that takes evolution and Darwin a step further: What happened after Darwin published “On the Origin of Species”? How much more do we know and understand today?

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
No I don’t think so.

Hey there, hi there, ho there! I’m the author of the INFEC†IOUS Series, a three book Young Adult, Post-Apocalyptic, Coming of Age Story. It’s about teenage, virgin Ivy (who is oh so much like me except for the teenage virgin part) who is living in the last year of Earth as we know it. Um, about me? Well, I’m a sugar artist and cake sculptor. I’ve been on several tv shows and won a competition judged by Buddy the Cake Boss (I also thoroughly embarassed myself in front of David Tutera….). I’m a cross-bearing temple, a wife, a mother of two awesome chicks, a painter, and a singer. Basically if it’s right brained, I’m likely to have tried it and if it’s left brained I’m abysmal at it.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
IMMANEN† is my latest book and it’s the third book in the INFEC†IOUS Series. I wrote INFEC†IOUS because I wanted to write exciting, engaging Christian fiction. No Amish, no Little House on the Prairie, how about a zombie twist instead. My books can best be described as Twilight meets Left Behind with just a touch of The Walking Dead.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Herm….. I’m a very transparent writer. If Ivy is suffering through something or battling herself, you can bet I’ve felt similarly at some point and she’s probably handling a lot like I did. I write to entertain and encourage but I’m kind of sneaky about it.

What are you working on now?
I’m working on a couple different books (code for I have writer’s block for fiction right now) and I’ve also been writing a lot of articles for my blog and for other publications.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?

She was accepted by Olympia Publishers and Dorrance Publishing but denied both opportunities because of the cost. But she never did give up on her writing career. She moved from Vanity publishers and onto traditional publishing companies where she got accepted by the third company she applied to.

She’s been with that publisher ever since and plans to release even bigger, better books as time goes on.

My latest book is ‘The Stripper Chronicles”.

It was inspired by my desire to write a book that would turn people’s emotions upside down.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I need to be listening to music and I bite my cheek.

I’m a Canadian author and advocate who’s goal is to use her life experiences to help anyone struggling through similar challenges. My first book is Dark Confessions of an Extraordinary, Ordinary Woman and it tackles depression, drug use and domestic violence. My second book is called Dirty Secrets of the World’s Worst Employee and it delves into the fun and follies of the working world. In June 2016, I released Cottage Cheese Thighs, which teaches how to love your body, flaws and all. I am about to publish my fourth book and first fictional story, Her Own Hero, in April.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Hero Own Hero was inspired for my desire to create a complex female heroine who ultimately saves herself.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I like to write in my comfy recliner with a cold beer. Sometimes my laptop has to contend with my cuddly puppies. They try to squeeze onto my lap while I’m writing and I end up typing one handed.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
Elizabeth Gilbert’s Committed inspired me to write my first story and it will always be my first pick. I love a variety of books, because sometimes I’m looking for inspiration in my personal life and other days I just need to get lost in a fantasy world.

What are you working on now?
I’m still in the editing stages of Her Own Hero, so I’ve only scratched the surface on my next story, Choosing to be Childless. I plan on debunking the stigma that comes with being a woman who doesn’t want to have children by sharing stories of happy and successful women who never needed children to feel fulfilled.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Awesome gang is pretty awesome! I use goodreads and Twitter a lot as well.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Never give up. There will be slow periods and sales might not come as fast as you expect. Don’t stop trying. Sometimes it takes months or years, but once you’ve broken through, all your hard work is worth it!

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Love yourself. Loving yourself changes everything. It gives you the confidence and self-acceptance to do anything you want.

What are you reading now?
I am just starting Winter’s Curse by the lovely and talented April Wood!

What’s next for you as a writer?
I plan on turning Her Own Hero into a series and my sixth story will be called Girl on Fire.

If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
