Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I was raised up in a really small town about an hour south of Atlanta. It was a close knit community where everyone knew everyone and if anyone encountered a problem, everyone stepped in to help. A small town where the police were still community oriented and took care of everyone. A town, that for the most part, I felt safe to live in.

I grew up and married my first love, which would end four years later. During that time I joined the fire department where I would serve for almost four years. I was forced to leave when I suddenly became pregnant. And in December 2001, I welcomed my first child into the world. He would be followed by five more. The years after that were not pleasant for me. So many tragedies crashed down upon me. But I dug my way out, met a wonderful loving man and married six years later.

I began learning various musical instruments when I was very young. At the age of thirteen I took an active interest in the bass guitar which I would continue to play from then on. I wrote several songs which I performed in our living room with my brother and a childhood friend of ours. Music was indeed a passion of mine.

One thing that helped me to over come all of the difficulties life threw at me was writing. I wrote a story when I was eight years old entitled “Vantasia and me” and it became an instant hit at school. The teachers and other children begged to read it. Then one day, it just disappeared. At eleven years old, I was inspired to write again after reading a book entitled “Run, baby run” by the former New York gang member turned street minister Nicky Cruz. As I began to write what would actually become the third book in a series, I realized that writing was not only my passion. But it was also my calling. I knew that this is what I was meant to do. So over the years I added to that series seven more books, though I have yet to publish them.

Writing has become therapy for me and helped me during some really troubling times. Now, at this point in my life, I have my wonderful husband, my awesome kids and a great support group standing behind me and pushing me to reach for my dreams and it’s only now that I have found the courage to actually grab on to those dreams. What began as an eight year old child writing about a family of unicorns evolved into a deep-rooted passion for writing and after thirty-one years, a published novel!

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The watchers: fall from grace. I was inspired to write this one after many years researching fallen angels and vampires. It began as research notes originally but I decided to try turning it into a book. The main character was inspired by Korean actor Lee Joon Ki and his role in the drama series A scholar who walks the night. During the writing process I was inspired by music as well and spent countless hours listening to Kpop group Big Bang. I found that listening to music while I would write helped to over come a lot of hard road blocks.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I typically write in first person. This was a writing style that I always used even when I was a child and I didn’t realize how unusual it was until I submitted my first book to my publisher. I feel that writing in first person feels more intimate than in third person and it has just become my own thing. I tried writing in third person once. It was scary!

What authors, or books have influenced you?
J.K. Rowling is my ultimate inspiration! I have been a fan of hers since the first Harry Potter novel was released. Her own personal story of trials and triumphs was really inspiring to me over the years as I tediously crafted my own work. I also love Anne Rice, Tolkien and Laura Ingles Wilder.

What are you working on now?
Currently I am working on the second book of my series which will be entitled The Watchers: Order of chaos. I am also working on my very first series that I began writing when I was eight years old entitled Trials in life.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I find that social media may not always be the best took to use but it’s the most fun. Getting to interact with fans and hear their ideas and input is always great.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Never give up your dream! Even when it seems to be going no where, stick with it. I never thought that I would actually publish a book and it took over thirty years to happen. But it did! Determination, hard work and lots and lots of caffeine helped me out A LOT!

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
All work and no play makes Jack a sad boy. It’s great to be ambitious and work hard. But don’t forget to live a little and just have fun in life. Don’t be afraid to cut some trails. When you do, others will follow.

What are you reading now?
I am reading my publisher’s first book Dark Harvest: Children of enoch again. His second book was just released so I want to refresh my memory of the first one.

What’s next for you as a writer?
I plan to keep writing until I draw my last breath. Eventually, I plan to release other writings I have done such as poems and children’s stories.

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?
Anything by JK Rowling, Anne Rice (for those super lonely nights) and an ancient Chinese history book.

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I have been writing for many years but just published my first novel June 2017. I have a novella series I am working on finishing that I am planning to release next as well as a spin off of my first novel, “A World Without You.” I lose myself in writing and love creating characters that are both romantic and still seem real.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
“A World Without You” was inspired by my fatigue seeing, and reading similar plots about rich, good looking men who turn out to be romantic heroes. Many times I thought to myself, “if I met this person in real life I probably wouldn’t even like him.” However, he is hailed a hero simply because he is rich, despite all his other flaws. So I decided to write a story involving a twisted love triangle in which the two men competing for the heroine are opposites. One is a rich, handsome actor, and the other is a “regular” guy that had an amazing heart. The book is told in two perspectives. Ella is the young girl trying to reconcile her painful past, and Logan is the young man who wants to win her heart. The third character, Dylan comes between them. It’s a battle of good and evil so to speak.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
When I write I get into a zone. Once I sat down and wrote for four hours straight without noticing how much time had passed. Sometimes I wake up in the morning and, lying in bed I imagine conversations between my characters (usually dramatic ones). I love reading stories where I can feel the characters and I want my readers to feel their pain, frustration, or love.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
Jamie McGuire, a successful indie author. Colleen Hoover who just keeps changing it up and keeping things interesting. Tarryn Fisher who writes daring things that are different. Christina Lauren write amazingly witty lovable romance. Karen Robards writes amazing romantic suspense. K.A. Tucker writes the kind of love stories I like with interesting characters I want to meet in real life (IRL). Kristan Higgins writes the kind of romantic comedy that I can’t live without. There are so many. I’m a bookaholic.

What are you working on now?
A novella series featuring a couple going through three stages of new adulthood. It follows the couple from 18-25 and the challenges their relationship faces at each stage. Graduating high school, college, and then as young adults navigating budding careers and tragic life events.
I’ve named it the “Breaking series.”
It’s an opposites attract romance. Laurel is an introverted but intelligent girl who loves reading and playing both piano and guitar. Chris is a charismatic, outgoing, athlete. Their differences create obstacles in their relationship along the way.
Breaking Rules, Breaking Promises, and Breaking Hearts

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
For now, I rely on social media. I am just entering the world of promotions so I am trying out many outlets to see what I can do on a small budget. As an indie, and a new author I am learning about how to get my book out there to as many interested readers as possible.

Working on a website and newsletter as well. Planning on posting the first book in my novella series on Instafreebie when it’s ready.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Make sure you have a well edited book before you release. Try to find someone to help you navigate the process the first time around. Try not to be afraid, although this is a challenge. I’m lucky to have gotten support from friends, far and wide, and family during this process. It’s a scary, challenging adventure but I don’t regret one minute of the journey.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
I just posted this quote on my author page:
“Writing isn’t about making money, getting famous, getting laid, or making friends. In the end, it’s about enriching the lives of those who will read your work, and enriching your own life as well. It’s about getting up, getting well, and getting over. Getting happy, okay? Getting happy.”
– Stephen King

What are you reading now?
“Atheists Who Kneel and Pray” by Tarryn Fisher. It’s a heartbreaking but amazing romance.

What’s next for you as a writer?
Keep working. Keep writing. Since I released my book I’ve received great feedback and it’s validated my feeling that this is my calling. I need to write. I will continue to write no matter what happens with my career. It’s my creative outlet and my happy place.

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?
“Shiver” Karen Robards
“My One and Only” Kristan Higgins
“What Alice Forgot” Liane Moriarty
“The First Husband” Laura Dave

But I would like to take my ipad or Kindle. I wouldn’t want to live with just four.

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’ve worked most of my professional life as an artist. I’ve storyboarded for films and plenty of commercials. I’ve also worked a lot as an illustrator and sculptor and even had a short stint in special fx. When I had downtime at home, I would always come up with stories and write for myself. I have only just put out my first book, Gretta Knows.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My first (and latest) book is titled Gretta Knows. I’ve been toying with the idea of writing for some time now and have ideas for many books in my notebooks all over my office. But what really got me moving was my son. Since we had him, I’ve really wanted to knuckle down and get writing. He’s my great inspiration.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Not really unusual I guess. I like to listen to 80’s music, classical and soundtracks while drinking copious amounts of coffee and looking out my window at my garden.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
If we just go with children’s books, probably Dr. Seuss. That’s who I remember fondly from my childhood. My son reads everything and everyone. He already has a growing bookshelf overflowing with stories.

What are you working on now?
I’m working on my second children’s books that deals with numbers. I’m going to try and have it as a free book. Then it’s on to the third and so on.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I’m still learning this. It’s all new to me. I’m trying to use twitter and Facebook as well as grow an email list. Besides that, Awesomegang is pretty cool.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Don’t give up! I thought I would have this first book done over a year ago. I mean, it’s just a children’s book. How long could it take? Hahahaha! Setting everything up for the first time was a chore. But now, I’m hoping to be able to sit back and do more writing than coding.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
“You should try this drink called coffee.” – jittery stranger

What are you reading now?
I’m listening to a lot of audiobooks recently. Sci fi mostly.

What’s next for you as a writer?
I would love to keep going with Fun Little Books! I want to have a whole shelf of books written someday!

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?
Only 3 or 4??? Okay, fine. 1) How to build a boat using items from a desert island. 2) How to survive on a desert island. 3) Talking to a soccer ball on a desert island.

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m a huge fan of sci-fi/fantasy books & films who had this crazy idea one day to write a sci-fi/fantasy mash-up of my own.

So, you can imagine my excitement when The Order of the Ancestors, book three in The Keeper of the Balance series, was chosen as the 2016 Dystopian Book of the Year in the 2016 Summer Indie Awards organized by Metamorph Publishing!

I’m currently writing the fourth and final book of The Keeper of the Balance series, which I hope will be finished soon.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is the third installment in The Keeper of the Balance series. My main inspiration for the series was writing what I hope would be a fresh, new take on the classic Hero’s Journey.

I honestly don’t know if I succeeded in this, as the reader will always have the final word. But it was a fun challenge trying to accomplish what I set out to do with these books.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Well, I usually saunter back and forth in my studio, sort of “acting” out each chapter I’m about to write, which is pretty odd, no doubt.

Sometimes I get so excited that I’m sure my neighbors think I’m completely out of my mind (laughs).

What authors, or books have influenced you?
J.R.R. Tolkien, George R.R. Martin, George Orwell and Aldus Huxley have been huge influences on my work, as well as some spy thriller writers such as Robert Ludlum and Ken Follett, for instance.

As far as books go, I’d say my main influences are books written by the authors above: The Lord of the Rings, A Song of Ice and Fire, 1984, Brave New World, the Bourne trilogy, etc.

What are you working on now?
I’m currently working on The Last Bastion, which will be the fourth and final book in The Keeper of the Balance series.

This is a bittersweet experience, I must say, because I’ve spent close to a decade working with these world, characters and situations. But it’s exciting to see the series come to what I hope will be an exciting ending.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
To be perfectly honest, my best method to promote my books so far has been mouth-to-ear. But I feel I’ve reached a point where I have to find other options to get my books in the hands of more readers.

In this sense, I’m hoping awesomegang can become my best method and website to promote my books (laughs).

Do you have any advice for new authors?
With only 3 books under my belt to this day, I’d say I’m a pretty new author myself. Still, I have some experience with other kinds of creative work.

The best advice I’ve ever heard is to follow your heart and never try to please anyone but yourself, because it’s impossible to please everybody else out there. If you love what you’re writing, chances are many others will love it as well.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Read above (laughs).

What are you reading now?
I’m currently reading Before They Are Hanged, the second book of Joe Abercrombie’s The First Law trilogy. I’m a sucker for a good mature fantasy story and I must say I’m enjoying Mr. Abercrombie’s work so far.

What’s next for you as a writer?
As I said above, I love a good mature fantasy tale. And so I have this rather ambitious idea to write a big, adult fantasy epic combining three ancient cultures that I love as my main source of inspiration: ancient Rome, the Knights Templar and the Vikings.

I wonder what it’d be like if these three cultures had collided at the same time in our world. Add to this a little magic & sorcery, and I think the story has great potential. Hopefully I can fully exploit 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?
That’s a great question. I think I’d bring books that offer some good food for thought, such as Herman Hesse’s Siddhartha. I love that book.

I really don’t know about the other two, to be perfectly honest. I guess I’d bring deep spiritual or philosophical books like Siddhartha, since I’d have lots of time to digest the book’s contents and no one to talk about them (laughs).

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a long time reader but only recently put in the work and finished my First novella. I am planning a series based around the main character.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
It is called The Scions Of Fenrir. It came from a lot of places. I love urban fantasy so my mind goes to that a lot. I also have always loved werewolves. The power and ferocity of them is great. I used my home town as the setting because I know it so well and it felt like a good place to start. The main character is a blend of lots of reluctant hero influences mixed with my own personality. He speaks with a voice very similar to my own.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Nothing strange. My writing is extremely sporadic. I’ll go days without writing and then drop twenty pages in one night. I tend to build the framework in my head and then turn it over and over until I have something

What authors, or books have influenced you?
The first fantasy book I ever read was Dragons of Autumn Twilight by Weis And Hickman. That pulled me into fantasy and I have never looked back. The Dresden Files introduced me to Urban fantasty. Butcher’s books are so fun and filled with full vibrant characters. Robert Jordon’s The Wheel of Time is one of my all time favorite epic stories. Brandon Sanderson is a genius at building insanely vivid worlds. His books are amazing. John G. Hartness showed me the possibilities of the shorter form stories and showed me how absolutely fun Urban Fantasy can be.

What are you working on now?
I am working on the next book in my Wolf’s Heart Journals series. It’s a bit of a step backward in the timeline and explores the origin of Kevin’s main weapon, his magical Colt 1911. For obvious reasons it is titled The Colt

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
That is to be seen. But so far social media has been good.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Write everyday and do not be afraid to deleted and rewrite if things aren’t working.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Take life in small bites. Don’t get frustrated if you don’t achieve everything right this second.

What are you reading now?
The third book in the Star Wars Aftermath Trilogy

What’s next for you as a writer?
Continue on this series and start work on another character in the same universe

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
My writing encompasses many different umbrellas of fantasy such as magical realism, urban, dark, and now superheroes. I have about 14 titles to my name with many more ideas culminating in my mind. I write to tell stories, to leave an impression, and make readers think.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is Karma, the first in the Silke Butters Superhero Series. It started out as a story revolving around female P.I.s and then morphed into its current form which follows Silke Butters, a young woman who lived within the glitz and glamour of the modeling world, until the day that world was turned upside down. Suddenly embodied with superpowers, she finds herself thrust into a world of heroes and villains, each enhanced with powers of their own. As Silke’s powers begin to grow she finds herself caught in the middle of a tug-of-war between both a subdivision of the U.S. government known as Shadow Company, and a ruthless terrorist organization known as The Sin Squad. Both entities want the “enhanced” for their respective teams with Silke as the main prize. To disguise her famous face, and protect those that she loves, Silke invents an alter ego. Karma is born of necessity to decide the fate of those who are ill-intentioned and empower others with hope. With the help of her former flame Joe Riggs, and her computer hacker friend Maki, Silke develops a heroes call-to-action to battle the dark force that threatens to annihilate humanity. Karma, the 1st in a 5 part series, blends the over-the-top punch of popular comic book stories, with the literary nuance of an urban fantasy novel. A genre-blending roller coaster ride, Karma will delight both superhero fans and fantasy readers alike.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I still prefer to write long hand on a legal pad with a pen before transferring that into the computer. It’s sort of like my first draft.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
Dean Koontz was my main influence. I read Intensity in high school and decided I wanted to become a writer. Other authors of influence include Mary Higgins Clark; C.S. Lewis; and Piers Anthony.

What are you working on now?
I’m working on Kourage, which is book 2 in the Silke Butters Superhero Series. I also have an apocalyptic trilogy set for release soon. It’s going to be Game of Thrones meets The Walking Dead.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Oh boy, that’s the hard part about writing. I mean, if you write a great book but no one reads it then it gets a little frustrating. I try to use as many avenues as I can. I have a website at www.cynthiavespia.com and I’m also on social media like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and Youtube trying my best to interact and promote my books.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Don’t follow the trends, just write what you are passionate about writing. If you try to write what’s popular, by the time you get it published the next thing is trending so be a trendsetter instead.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
“Write for the wastebasket.”
And what that means is to not take the first draft so seriously. There’s going to be many changes along the way, so just writing knowing that frees you up to get into the story instead of trying to make it perfect. Let the words flow.

What are you reading now?
I’m reading a Piers Anthony book in the Incarnations of Immortality series that I must’ve missed back in the day. It’s called For the Love of Evil.

What’s next for you as a writer?
I’ll keep writing until I exhaust all my ideas, of which I have a full notebook.

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?
Ha…survivalist books like “edible plants” or “how to survive in the wilderness” and “how to build a raft out of palms trees” something like that.

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I was born and raised in a small town north of Toronto where I spent the majority of my time reading books, jumping off train bridges, and sliding down snow-covered hills in garbage bags.

After working for three bookstores in my teen years, I began to write books of my own. Just after my eighteenth birthday, I left that small town and set off to see the world, armed with a few notebooks, and my favorite pen.

I currently live abroad, perpetually in-transit, with my fiancée, who should’ve been born in 9th century Scandinavia, and our four-year-old daughter, who’s caught our wanderlust already.

This Body Won’t Break is my first published novel, and is part of a series.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book, This Body Won’t Break, is set to release on September 5th, 2017. This book was inspired by a question someone once asked me. That question was, “Who would you become if you found out your entire life was a lie?” From that one question, the idea grew to become not only a novel, but a series of novels drawing inspiration from my own life experiences as well as other popular novels in the same genre.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
What writer doesn’t?

What authors, or books have influenced you?
The author who first inspired me to want to write as a career instead of a hobby was Holly Black, when I was only about 13 years old. Since then, there have been many other authors who’ve both influenced and inspired my own writing.

What are you working on now?
Right now, I am hard at work completing The O-Negative Series. Once this series is done, I’ll have to chose between one of my other developing ideas. Right now it’s between a YA epic fantasy (Think LOTR if the entire cast was in their teens or early twenties) or an Urban Fantasy/Mystery which would reflect my love of travel and feature many countries and cultures from all around the world.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Instafreebie has been invaluable. Aside from that, I enjoy working closely bloggers and reviewers to get visibility.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
The first draft is going to suck. Don’t judge yourself based on your first draft. You’ve written a novel, and that in itself is a huge accomplishment. Once you’ve got that, there’s nowhere to go but up. Don’t give up. it may take a rewrite or two, or even three or four, but if you believe in your story, in your characters, then you will get there.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
‘Stop trying so damn hard and write the next book.’ – They were right.

What are you reading now?
I’ve just finished reading The Girl from Everywhere by Heidi Heilig. I enjoyed it immensely.

What’s next for you as a writer?
More books! This adventure in self-publishing has been filled with learning, tears, and so much hard work. And I can’t wait to do it again. And again. And again.

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?
Pride & Prejudice. The Hobbit. The Handmaid’s Tale. And maybe All the Light we Cannot See.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My newest book is called “You Are Enough.” I was inspired to write the book because many of my readers struggle with unavailable relationships. Most people who attract unavailable relationships are indeed unconsciously unavailable. Many of them have a fear of never finding real love. They have negative thoughts about their potential to find someone who will really love and accept the real them. They are so insecure about their weaknesses and past failures that they unconsciously believe no one will ever love their truth. They are ashamed of their hidden faults and fear rejection when their weaknesses are discovered. These people often want a relationship, but they are afraid of true intimacy. This book empowers them to embrace themselves completely.

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
After thirty-five years of teaching middle school, I have changed careers to independent author. Two of the three volumes of The Duncullen Saga are published. Book One, Aroon, is set in 1750 Tipperary. Book Two, Harps Upon the Willows, takes place in 1766 when the tensions between the gentry and commoners has heated up. I have also written many short stories which have been published in magazines and anthologies.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The book I am now writing is untitled. I was inspired by true events that occurred in Barnwell County of South Carolina during the Revolutionary War. A local here, Tarleton Brown, wrote his autobiography in his dotage which lends itself to great drama.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I suppose I go against the grain of recommended practices by doing my research as I write. I will not move on from even a sentence until I have checked not only my facts, but also whether the words I’ve chosen were actually spoken in the time period. This makes for slow progress sometimes, but I am gratified when readers rave about the accuracy and authenticity of my novels.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
My favorite authors are Mark Twain and Harper Lee. Mark Twain’s use of dialect has greatly influenced my writing. Harper Lee’s approach to tackling social disparities has made a great impression on me. I hope my work shines a light on the plight of the poor brought on by oppression while drawing readers into the story.

What are you working on now?
I am working on Book Three of the Duncullen Saga.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
My website is found at mbgibsonbooks.com. I also write a blog called “Research Boring? Not in My Book” which can be found on the website. My best promotion has been face-to-face, but that is by nature limiting.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Do not gloss over research, writing, or especially proofreading. Make the writing tight and strong. Don’t quit until it is the very best you can do.

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a medical doctor who works to help people through continuous quality improvement initiatives. I received his master’s degree in public health from the Prince Leopold Institute of Tropical Medicine in Antwerp, Belgium. I am currently a PhD candidate at the School of Public Health at the University of Montreal.

I have worked as a medical doctor, consultant, public health specialist, professor, and researcher. My work has taken him to Africa and Haiti.

I also nurture my spiritual side and help others on their spiritual journeys. I believe in a holistic approach to improving everyone’s quality of life. I like to travel the world, discover new cultures, meet new people, and expand awareness and light around the globe.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The title of my last book is: “How to Improve the Quality of Your Life? A Comprehensive Approach and Guide to Well-Being”

The inspiration for this book is a long story. Since I was a child, I always have the deep desire to help other people. That is why I have studied medicine so I could help other and alleviate the suffering of other people on this planet. The idea of this book takes shape during my Ph.D. study at the University of Montreal, Canada.
This model reflects my whole-life philosophy and belief systems. But it only materializes between 2008 and 2010 during my Ph.D. study at the University of Montreal, Canada. I am so grateful to my professors Claude Sicotte, Francois Champagne, Lambert Farand, Francois Beland, and Marie-Pascale Pomey for introducing me to the Talcott Parsons social action theory and the Health System Integrated Evaluation Framework. In life, if you want to be great, surround yourself with great people. Sir Isaac Newton, a British physicist, wrote: “If I have seen further than others, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.” This refers to the fact that in science, philosophy, or literature, we do not start from scratch but build our system on previous discoveries. I have lifted from my Professor Claude Sicotte the model on which to develop this revolutionary framework. The comprehensive approach I present to you is an innovation of my own. I combine in a unique way the scientific and the spiritual in order to help people change and thrive in life.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
This question surprises me. I do not think about it. I could say that when writing this book, I feel the necessity to focus and dedicated time, passion, and love for the writing process. Sometimes, I used to sleep with a pen, a notebook, and a flashlight under my pillow. During the night, if an idea pops up in my mind, I wake up and write it on the notebook.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
Many authors inspired me: Professor Claude Sicotte, Francois Champagne, Claude Beland, Lambert Farand. I also read Talcott Parsons. But I could say that God and his spirit guide me during the whole writing process. I even think that the process of writing this book was in itself a spiritual experience for me.

What are you working on now?
Now, I focus on research and humanitarians’ activities. I am writing a scientific paper that will be published soon.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I think that www.awesomegang.com is by far the best. I really love their professionalism and the way they are constantly innovating to satisfy their clients.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
I would really advice new author to love what they are doing and develop their writing skills at the same time. New authors need to anticipate potential obstacles that could occur during the writing process and have a plan to deal with them. Sometimes we could feel that the task is overwhelmed but the passion and the dream will keep pushing us to the end of the process.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
“A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.”
(Lao-Tzu)

What are you reading now?
I am reading Charles Schwab’s Guide to Financial Independence.

What’s next for you as a writer?
I will collect feedback on this new book and will work on a version 2.0 next year.

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?
1. How to Improve the Quality of Your Life? A Comprehensive Approach and Guide to Well-Being
2. The Purpose Driven Life
3. A New Earth

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a retired mother of three sons and grandmother of seven grandchildren. My husband, Billy, and I live in Hoschton, Georgia. I’ve always been a writer. At age 11 I was asked to read a short story I had written to my 7th grade class. Everyone wanted me to continue after I had finished. Mrs. Miller, my 7th grade teacher encouraged me to keep writing. And I have. I graduated from Brenau College as a single mother of two boys with a degree in Journalism. Skills in writing helped me in a variety of careers, but it was not possible to earn a living writing in the ’70’s. Therefore, I wrote whenever I had a moment. I also have a love for books, bookstores and libraries. In fact, my first job was in a library while I was in high school.

I retired from a local hospital after 20 years as a director in Human Resources. Then I began my career writing novels.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
All the Way is my latest book. The death of my mother inspired me to research her life, growing up during the Great Depression. I wanted to know what events shaped her choices in life and why she was the woman I knew as Mom. As I researched the time-frame, mores, faith, hardships and sheer will that got families through that period in our history, I decided I could write an interesting, informative description of the small towns southeast of Atlanta and around Hall County and weave those facts into a book about the people who endured and overcame those hardships.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I don’t think my habits are unusual for a writer. When I sit down to write, I experience what has been called “flow”. I am the happiest, most engrossed and time unconscious person that I think most writers must be.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
In the beginning, I just loved to read. Anything and everything I could carry in my arms along the mile walk to my house from the library. Then I was inspired by Ernest Hemingway. I read all of his works and got inspiration from many of them. More recently I wanted to write like John Grisham, but I knew I probably couldn’t research enough to produce the volume he does. Finally, I’ve evolved into a more simple writing style. I thoroughly enjoy Nicholas Sparks and feel that his work is best suited to today’s busy lifestyle.

What are you working on now?
I have just started research on a book that opens in Hawaii, but originates in Atlanta. At this point, I’m just getting to know the main character. I’m not even set on her name yet. But I do know that she has made some poor decisions in her life and she is in Hawaii trying to decide how she got there and why she continues to stay.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Since I’m a newbie, I’m not sure. This website is very author-based. I’m hoping it will give me a big push with readers who like inspiring stories, that promote the Christian faith and are an easy, quick read.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Just write!

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Never give up!

What are you reading now?
I just finished a book by another new author, Nicho’ Martin, 40 Years to Heal A Broken Child. My next read will be from another author, Susan Abel, Through the Mist. It is fun to read other new authors and see where they come from and how they interpret life in their books.

What’s next for you as a writer?
Promoting the books I’ve written and keep writing!

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 would be it. There would be no need for another book. It contains, mystery, hate, violence, love, kindness, forgiveness, mercy, grace. Everything we need to think or read about.

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am from sunny Southern California, although life for me was not always so bright. It could have been but I chose a different, darker world. I am now making up for lost time. I am learning as I go and surprisingly at a pretty, rapid pace. I am working on my memoir series “Sweet Melissa” and I have five books out so far. I am working on the final book of the series. That will not be the end of my writing career! I have plenty of stories up in this little brain of mine. With each book I write, I gain knowledge of some sort. My goal is to help and inspire others that anything is possible. I am not college educated by any means, and I barely graduated high school. I have faith in the “Man Above” and I believe that this is my purpose in life. I want to help others and I do not want anyone to go down the road I did. I want to help educate the family members and friends of an addict on how easily someone can get sucked up into the lifestyle. My books are not necessarily “self-help” but I have received plenty of messages from mothers thanking me, stating that my story has helped them understand their daughter/son’s addiction.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is Sweet Melissa: Caged, But Free. It is the fifth book of my memoir series. I was inspired to write my series because I have a story to tell and I believe it will open the eyes and help educate others to make different choices as far as drugs and alcohol go. To some it may be simply entertainment, but it is a true story. Things like this happen and once you get caught up in the cycle it is so hard to exit.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I have started reading and recording as I go, to help me find a better flow. Hey that rhymes! Yes, I am very silly but sincere!

What authors, or books have influenced you?
My all time favorite, Paulo Coelho. I absolutely love “The Alchemist” and I have read it a zillion times.

What are you working on now?
I am working on the sixth and final book of my “Sweet Melissa Memoir Series” and it is getting tough!

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I have not done all that much promoting yet, but I did get a great outcome my my Awesome Gang promo! I am pretty much waiting to get the final book out before I do much more.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
The best advise that was ever given to me was to keep on writing! That would be the advice I would give to anyone else.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Do not ever give up! Have faith in yourself. Be driven and goal oriented. Stay focused.

What are you reading now?
If I only had time to read! I have snuck in a few audiobooks while taking a bath though. I love memoirs and I will always choose that genre above any other.

What’s next for you as a writer?
I have been learning a lot about audio recording lately. I hired a producer to do my first book but I plan on recording the rest myself. I believe I can do it and I believe that the books will expose where I am really coming from.

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?
I would like to change this question to, still a reading type question, but I would bring an internet hotspot, my iPad, a solar charger, and of course sunscreen.

I am a first-time author and recently self-published, “Just Another Girl’s Story, A Memoir on Finding Redemption.” Writing my story and sharing my testimony is something I felt nudged to do for many years. I had a feeling (because of my own experience) that too many women suffer needlessly for mistakes that can’t be reversed. By sharing my personal and honest journey, I hope that my testimony offers a pathway to forgiveness and redemption.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The name of my book is, “Just Another Girl’s Story, A Memoir on Finding Redemption.” I had so many other titles in mind; however, I chose this one because of an experience I had one night. While at dinner with five Catholic women; we got to talking about the subject of my book; abortion. For most women, such an experience is a very personal and private matter. Yet as I openly shared parts of my book, two other women shared that they too had abortions. That is 1/2 of the women at the table, which makes me “just another girl” who experienced a life-altering decision.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I have one. I write best when I am wrapped up in a homemade quilt I made. Before sitting down to write, I wrap the blanket around my body like a cocoon. If it’s warm in my writing room, I turn a box fan on me so that I don’t overheat.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
I am a sucker for anything inspirational and books that help me to be a better person. I’ve read a lot of self-help, memoirs and spiritual books in my life. I’m not much of a fiction reader; so I don’t have a particular favorite author or book series in mind. Looking up at my book shelf above my writing desk, I spot one book that I’ve enjoyed reflecting upon: “The Playful Way to Knowing Yourself” by Roberta Allen. It’s more of a workbook, but it’s been a neat way of self-discovering “me” a bit more.

What are you working on now?
A book about youth/teenage mission trips

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

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Read your genre as often as you can and write every day.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
If you can dream it, you can do it!

What are you reading now?
Girl Walks Out of a Bar: A Memoir by Lisa F. Smith – it’s awesome!

What’s next for you as a writer?
I’d like to attend writing & self-publishing conferences and join a local writer’s club.

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m the author of three published novels, called the Acea Bishop Trilogy. Book one is Acea and the Animal Kingdom. Book two is Acea and the Seven Ancient Wonders. Book three is Acea and the Adventure Thru Time. They’re all available now in paperback and ebook formats. So, the entire trilogy is finished – no waiting to see how it ends!

I was inspired to write the series after volunteering to read books in my wife’s elementary classrooms. I wanted to write something that adults would actually enjoy reading just as much as kids.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Acea and the Adventure Thru Time is my most recent book – and it’s just recently been released! I couldn’t wait to write it – I’d had the idea for the ending of the trilogy since I began writing the first novel. It’s the perfect mixture of adventure, intrigue, action, and answers about both the plot and the characters. Readers will find out more about Vesuvius’s history and what made him so evil, while finding out how Acea’s war between wizards and sorcerers ends.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I tend to think about plot and character points at stoplights during my daily commute. I guess that’s kinda different. Another thing about my writing style is that I will not write during periods of “writers block.” I hear about some authors that say to just keep writing, but I can’t – if I’m not intrigued by what I’m writing then I can’t hope for my readers to be. This results in weeks or months of not making progress on a book, but when I get inspired it’s all I want to do. So it evens out in the end.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
Growing up, I loved the Myst series that was written about the old computer game. Both the game and books were immersive, mysterious, and very well crafted. Now that my trilogy is complete, I can see how that series above any other book influence my writing in this series. Of course there’s other books and authors that intrigue me, but I’d say that the Myst series is at the forefront.

What are you working on now?
I’m taking a bit of a breather now that the Acea Bishop Trilogy is finally out – it took six years from beginning to end! But I have two very different ideas in my head for my next book. I’m not sure yet which one will end up winning to be my next novel, but both of them are different than the Acea Bishop Trilogy.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I love meeting readers in person! I usually attend Salt Lake Comic Con and Salt Lake FanX, and I’m always humbled by the readers that have discovered my novels on their own and come up to tell me their favorite parts.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Don’t write for anyone other than yourself. If you’re not intrigued by what you write, then you cannot expect anyone else to be. And if no one else ever reads what you wrote, then you at least have something that you’re proud of.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Ever? Wow, that’s a hard one! Probably a friend who told me “You should marry her.” (I did.)

What are you reading now?
Nothing particularly, unfortunately. I usually try not to read other things while I’m planning my next novel, as I like it to be original instead of heavily inspired by – or mirroring – something else.

What’s next for you as a writer?
I’m just looking forward to promoting The Acea Bishop Trilogy now that it’s finally completed! I love hearing from readers about their favorite zoo room in the first book, if they loved or hated end of the second book, and if the ending to the series paid off as they’d hoped.

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?
I’m just being honest here – the ones that are the thickest and burn easiest. If I’m stranded on a desert island, I’ve got some serious need for kindling. But seriously, I’d rather have blank books (and a pen/pencil) for me to write – if I was unable to write, I’d go more crazy than I would without being able to read!

I studies Classics at Trinity College, Cambridge and then spent his working career in the financial services industry, principally in London. Now that I have the freedom to do what I want I spend part of my day reading, thinking and writing – or as my wife puts it, locking myself away for a few hours each day.

I have published four books, two in my own right and two which I have co-authored.

Promotion is not my forte, but I go to Amazon because it is just so huge. I hunt for reviewers on there and run ad campaigns. Everyone shops on Amazon!

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Stick with it and hold strong with your vision. Only you know what you really want to put out in the world. That’s not to say advice is not welcome, just don’t let ALL the advice that comes pouring in run you over.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Be confident and don’t worry about failure.

What are you reading now?
G.A. Mckevett’s series about Savannah Reid. It is so light and fun!

What’s next for you as a writer?
More books that help me carve out my niche and explore myself as an author. Promotion is also something I have to reluctantly pursue.

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?

Hi My name is Suzanne Lowe and I am from Perth in Western Australia. As a young adult I grew up in the small country town of Tom Price in the outback of Western Australia. The summers were often very hot and dusty and I would spend my weekends with my friends, swimming in the cool water of the gorges, trying to escape the heat.
I have a I have a Bachelor of Science Degree, majoring in Sport Science and have worked as a library assistant, personal trainer and barista.
When I’m not working, writing or being a mum, I love to travel to new places. I’m also a keen photographer and love reading and watching movies. My favourite genres are definitely sci-fi and fantasy and I particularly enjoy watching movies and reading books with dystopian style scenarios.
My novel, Seventeen is my first book and was published this year with the indie publisher Creativia.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
I was inspired to write Seventeen as I wanted to as I wanted to write a story for young adults, that featured two sisters having to survive in a world that was suddenly vastly different from one they had grown up in. One without adults or any rules. This was a scenario that my own two teenage daughters would often discuss and theorise about at the dinner table. I also wanted to have the setting of the story in Australia which is quite isolated and unique. There aren’t very many young adult novels set in Australia, especially Western Australia where I am from.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I love to eat popcorn while I’m writing

What authors, or books have influenced you?
John Marsden, Anne Rice, Suzanne Collins, JK Rowling

What are you working on now?
The follow up book to Seventeen. Also a non fiction travel book.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Goodreads, Instagram, Comicon and Supernova sci fi conventions

I’m an Italian author, and I wrote two books. The last one “The monk with no past” has been translated also in english and is available on Amazon worldwide.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My last book is “The monk with no past”. It is a novel where the protagonist casually accepts a proposal to travel to Tibet where, thanks to the wise words of an old monk, he discovers surprising truths and the existence of a new world and a new self. I collected in this book all my discoveries about the true nature of the world, inserting ideas and hypothesis coming from my knowledge of the quantum physics. I thought an old Tibetan monk was the right character to say so revolutionary things. the book was a bestseller in Italy, where it has sold thousands of copies and has been for several weeks in the top-100 in the ebook category, collecting more than 120 positive feedback.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I usually write early in the morning, because it’s the only time I can concentrate and find good inspiration.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
I am very inspired by the books of Oriental doctrines, especially Tibetan and Indian, by authors such as Nisargadatta Maharaj, Krishnamurti, Thich Nhat Hanh, etc. I also read books from early New Age authors, such as Thomas Troward, Neville Goddard, Charles Haanel, etc.

What are you working on now?
I’m writing a new book entitled The Escape Plan, where I’ll talk about the best techniques to change our mental habits and get out of the invisible cage that keeps us prisoners.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
For the Italian market, normally I promote my book on Facebook, where I have more than 48000 Italian followers. For the US and UK markets it’s more difficult because my name is not known outside of Italy.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Yes, of course. Believe in your abilities and never give up. I did not think I could sell thousands of copies of my book, but it all happened suddenly, without me realizing it.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
A phrase by Henry Ford: Whether you believe it or not to be successful, you are always right.

What are you reading now?
I’m reading “Parallel Universes of Self” by Frederick Dodson. I’ve read many self development books over the past decade, but I think this is the best I’ve read so far about the connection between quantum physics and personal growth.

What’s next for you as a writer?
As I said, I’m writing my third book, and I hope this will become my main activity in the future. I love to write, and I also saw that many people love what I write. I will do my best to give them the best.

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 Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle, I am That by Nisargadatta Maharaj, Parallel Universes of Self by Frederick Dodson and last but not least, Conversations with God by Neale Donald Walsch.

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m a Christian, Theological writer who has been studying the Bible and history since the age of 15, back in 1986. I’ve also, during my youth, had the privilege of sitting under an extremely gifted ministry, who had given me the basics from which my own ministry has launched . . . Since the year 2000, I have felt led to write a series of books on the highlights of what I have learned, one topic at a time, and am calling the book series “Seeking the Everlasting Gospel Teaching Series;” which is similar to my ministry name, called “Seeking the Everlasting Gospel Ministries.” Even though I have but recently (starting in 2016) begun to publish these books (since I have been going behind myself editing, re-writing, and adding new things), I now have three books available for reading to the public, and have at least 20 more for the foreseeable future! The current published books are: “Brotherly Love: The Gospel of Jesus Christ,” “Blaming God! Is it really His fault?,” and “In the Beginning: It was Spiritual from the very start.”

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book, which was recently published (July 19, 2017), is called ‘In the Beginning: It was Spiritual from the very start.” This is the third book in the ‘Seeking the Everlasting Gospel Teaching Series,’ and Part 1 of a particular topic, which (as the book itself shows) is dubbed: ‘The Spiritual Side of Creation, Part 1.” This necessary topic in my series deals with ‘metaphors’ that are heavily used throughout the Biblical text, as they were employed by the original writers in ancient times. And, not only so, but I show how these said metaphors were used by God to teach us the underlining message of ‘the Beginning,’ right in chapter 1 of the book of Genesis – which, in no-wise, destroys the idea that God had literally, and physically, created this world and universe exactly how it states, but I show how He also uses that same wording to give us insight into our own personal, spiritual creation! This book helps setup the books that will follow afterwards in the near future…

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I don’t think it strange, but I used to write everything down by hand, then transfer it to a computer. Now, I do everything on the computer whilst eliminating the old-fashioned pen and paper! … Ah! Tradition! How thou hast been deprived!

What authors, or books have influenced you?
It would be easy to say that the Bible had only influenced me; and yet, as it is true that this book is the majority of my inspiration, I have to admit that I wouldn’t even have been a writer at all if it wasn’t for my love of Swashbuckling literature! This, I speak on, and in small detail, in my second book, called: “Blaming God! Is it really His fault?” As I begun studying my Bible at fifteen, as I’ve said (actually studying, and not just reading), I was inspired to read ‘The Three Musketeers’ by Alexandre Dumas, simply because I had watched Gene Kelly’s Musketeer movie version at least six times prior! Once I got Dumas’ novel, when I was sixteen, I had actually read the thing over seven times in a single year! This small adventure of mine had led me, that very same year, to write the rough draft of my very first Swashbuckling novel, which I called: “The Adventures of Monsieur de La Donaree the Musketeer;” which, I have actually published in 2009. Also, that same year (that is, back when I was sixteen – or even creeping onto seventeen), and inspired by Rafael Sabatini’s (and, indeed, Errol Flynn’s portrayal) of Captain Blood, I wrote the first rough draft to my second novel “Captain Skull: From the Memoirs of Sir Charles of Riley.” Which, incidentally, I published in book form in 2011. Not only so, but – you’ve guessed it! – I have been trying my hand at a Christian, Swashbuckling novel, which you an actually read examples of at my official Facebook page, and in my Notes section, at this address: https://www.facebook.com/notes/ted-roberts/sword-against-the-robe/1442735265771594/ ….

What are you working on now?
I am actually beginning a book that will be my most controversial, which deals with the subject of church rituals, called: “Carnal Ordinances: The Naturalistic World That Had Come To An End.” I actually have a chapter example at my official website, and at this direct page: http://www.seekingthegospel.com/carnalordinances.htm

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Goodreads, by far!

Do you have any advice for new authors?
What’s the old saying? Practice makes perfect! And, don’t be discouraged! Writing isn’t an easy thing, as many who have never wrote a book before finds out rather quickly! When I took a course of writing in college, my teacher said something that I really didn’t like, and that was, basically, that your first twenty years are your hardest! I didn’t really know if that was true or not, but since I have been writing now for about 30 years, I have come to feel that it really is true! This has to be in your blood, and you must have patience! … Oh, and did I mention patience??

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Practice makes perfect…

What are you reading now?
I’m actually re-reading my latest book, which was published last week. I’m trying to make sure that I didn’t miss anything … This seems like my fiftieth read-over!

What’s next for you as a writer?
I will continue to write the Seeking the Everlasting Gospel Teaching Series, and perhaps a historical, fiction novel or two…

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 Holy Bible (KJV), The Strong’s Greek and Hebrew Dictionary/Concordance, and The Three Musketeers!

Vinay Kallat (1985-still alive) was born in India, Mumbai, to a South Indian parents. He is the author of Mysterious Greenfield Woods: A Romantic Murder Mystery and Finding An Indian Bride: A Memoir on Arranged Marriage. How apart the two books might feel, they are actually linked.

For past ten years he is working as a software engineer in a bank. After working for almost ten years and writing for almost a decade, he realized that he was not born for a 9 to 5 job. He wanted to be a writer. The thrill when he released his first book still remains deep in his heart. He thought that would be the end of his writing and was all set to go back to his 9 to 5 job, but there was something that was calling him to write. He realized he could not stop writing. No matter what he would do in his life, one thing is for sure he would keep escaping into this mysterious world and keep writing. He does not want to write about something that is already there.

Have you heard about “Virgin thought”. A thought that has never crossed anyone’s mind. Is it possible? He wants to write something that no one has ever thought off. Would he be successful in writing such a story. Keep tuned in with his writing and find out for yourself. If you still have a doubt, don’t forget to check his books and decide for yourself.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Finding An Indian Bride is inspired by real events that took place in my life. It all started on my 24th birthday, when my mother realized that her youngest son had all grown up and was ready for an arranged marriage. It depicts all the awkward moments that I was put through in the process of meeting the girl’s family.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Just that I like to talk to the readers directly and which I quote within the round brackets. (Hope you guys do not have the habit of peeing while taking a bath right. At least don’t do it while you’r girlfriend is with you in the shower.)

What authors, or books have influenced you?
Authors:
Dan Brown ; It gave me different ideas to kill my bosses (Angels and Daemons)
Chetan Bhagat: Five point someone as it was relatable and he likes to keep it simple.

What are you working on now?
I am working on the Sequel for Finding An Indian Bride (You guessed it right! Still finding or rather hunting. )
Also working on a book with nine realms and their politics and the last book that I am mid way is of four friends liking the same girl and having their own perception about her.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
This(http://awesomegang.com/author-interview/) is the first website I am trying. Hope it works out well.
Well other modes of advertisement is Kindles free book promotion.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
It needs awful amount of hard work and dedication to survive the big tides and disappointment.
Luck does play an important role, but do not wait for god to do something, who knows god must be waiting for you to do something. I always felt writing good books is enough, its just half the battle won. Promoting, Socializing, reacting is equally important.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Don’t give up. It takes ten years to become a famous writer why give it up in two years and two books.

What are you reading now?
Half Girlfriend : Chetan Bhagat

What’s next for you as a writer?
To write something that does nobody has thought of yet. A virgin thought.
Something that might not be too long but precise.

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?
Angels and Daemons
The Great Gasy

I’m a young adult author with two books. My contemporary mystery with a historical angle will be released on 9/19/17 (Boyds Mills Press) and my debut, League of Strays, came out in 2012 (Abrams.)

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
I was listening to NPR, over 20 years ago, when the idea for Stolen Secrets came to me. The reporter was interviewing a Holocaust survivor, and it struck me how old she was and that in the decades to come, we would lose all our firsthand witnesses to the atrocities of the Holocaust. I don’t want to give the super twisty ending away, but I also have been fascinated with research about what happened to Anne Frank and her family after they were taken from their hiding place in the annex. I combined those two concepts into a mystery.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I can only think if I have a hot drink within arm’s reach. After my allotment of coffee, which is embarrassingly high, I move to licorice tea.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
You know, I don’t have many favorite books. I like so many, and each for a different reason. That being said, growing up I was definitely influenced by Judy Blume (for her candor and courage to explore all subjects) and Lois Duncan (thrilling mysteries). I actually ended up becoming Lois’ Facebook friend during her last few years. And just a few weeks ago, I managed to talk Judy Blume into taking a photo with me at a writers conference. Total fan worship moment.

What are you working on now?
I’m working on three projects at one time. First, I’m turning Stolen Secrets into a screenplay, because I always liked the concept for cinema. Second, I’m working on a picture book about a Jewish immigrant family and their relationship with Louis Armstrong. And finally, I’m writing a new YA about an Italian exchange student and his American sister, and how they end up saving each other.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
LBSchulman.com. In addition to information about my books and me, I have articles there for writers, too. Also, on Quora, I love to answer questions about writing fiction.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Spend one month reading everything you can in your genre. Analyze it. See what works and what doesn’t and then try to take that insight and apply it to your own work. Books are free master classes for future authors!

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Learn from other people’s mistakes. If you understand how they messed up, you won’t need to follow in faulty footsteps…

What are you reading now?
Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs. It’s a little slow for me, but the writing is incredible and it hasn’t lost my attention. It’s being executed rather brilliantly (so far).

What’s next for you as a writer?
I want to do something, anything, with the screenplay for Stolen Secrets. Usually writers create a book and if they are very lucky, someone options it and another writer does the screenplay. I am taking initiative, you could say. I’m also working hard to get Stolen Secrets into as many Holocaust museum stores as I can because I share their goal of keeping teens interested in history.

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?
Oh no, I can’t answer this. It’s making my palms sweat. The pressure is too much. How about I bring my Kindle (and its library) so I don’t have to choose? Sorry, I know that’s cheating. So sue me.

In my early years, I did stand-up comedy and almost became a magician. My fun-loving teaching style I think is entertaining as well as educational. Oh, how I love to laugh, hear and tell jokes, dance, and practice being thankful every day. I can do the best “Tarzan-Jane” call you’ve ever heard! This is my 1st book and I have 4 more on the way!

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
BLOCKBUSTER BRANDING For “The Little Guy” is the name of my book.

For years I helped people for free with their branding. That is, until I met a psychologist, Dr. Kursheed Sethna, that had watched, as I freely helped fellow attendee’s at a Jack Canfield seminar. I had become a celebrity at the seminar. I even had women following me into the bathroom asking me for advice regarding their businesses.

Kursheed invited me to dinner that evening. At dinner she said, “you’re wasting thousands of dollars giving away your ideas for free!” She continued, “start a business and get paid for them.” I knew she was right. That’s when I started writing my newly released book.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I am a Crazy Note taker! I have small spiral bound notepads and ink pens everywhere: in my purse, on my nightstand by my bed, on the end table by recliner in the living room, and in my SUV and in all my pad-folios. Whenever I get an idea, I write it down, so I can allow other ideas to enter. At the top of each note I designate what that note pertains to: website, Branding Book, Tips Book, Promotion, Twitter, Future Plans, etc. I also am CRAZY about Sticky Notes! i put them all over the walls at my computer. I never lose a great idea, and my mind is free for more to enter!

What authors, or books have influenced you?
One of my hero’s is Hal Elrod writer of the Miracle Morning book series. I needed a simple morning routine and his book provided exactly what I needed. I also love the book, One Simple Idea by Stephen Key. I learned about licensing, which I’m going to be using his information in the next couple of months to license some designs I’ve created.

What are you working on now?
Right now, I’m working on promoting BLOCKBUSTER BRANDING, after the promotions, I’ll be putting it out in print with an audio book to follow. My next book will be, How to Write a BLOCKBUSTER Tips Book, subtitle, The Fast & Easy Way using Multiple Revenue Streams For Richer Results!

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Honestly, I’m completely knew to promoting books, and I haven’t got enough data to endorse a particular source. I will tell you, Awesomegang is the ONLY promotional site of the 40+ sites I’ve used to promote my recent book, that has the option of providing an Author’s Interview! Especially as a new author, Awesomegang I think truly cares about the Author, not just book promotion. And I deeply appreciate that!!!

Do you have any advice for new authors?
While writing my book I experienced, problems, set backs, wasted money, wasted time, mistakes, frustration, etc. I dedicate a whole chapter in my book to this topic. Know that what you experience is part of the process, of becoming an author. If it was easy, everyone would be an author! Be loving and kind to yourself through the process, you are the most important person you will ever know. The mantra I used, I invite you to use too: I will find a way!

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Believe in Yourself!

What are you reading now?
Expert Secrets by Russell Brunson. It’s how to create a massive movement of people who will pay for your advice … Sounds good, doesn’t it?!!

What’s next for you as a writer?
I have so many books I want to write and I have them all lined up. I am also going to write about the Law Of Attraction is a fun way no body has done before. I am also focused on pitching a TV Show bases upon my book. However I see myself writing books for many years to come!

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?
1) The Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod. 2) The Far Side Gallery by Gary Larson 3) You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay
