Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Hi, I have written plenty of fan fiction and short stories for my personal use over the years. However, Saying goodbye is the first work that I have published as part of the Letters to Lillie series.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Saying Goodbye is the first of the Letters to Lillie series. It was inspired partly because I haven’t seen much out there that looks into grief and depression when dealing with the loss of a loved one. I thought that by writing this it would help people deal and understand what they are going through.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I like to watch rubbish tv in the background but I do admit to getting distracted occasionally!

What authors, or books have influenced you?
My biggest influences are Bernard Cornwell and CS Forester.

What are you working on now?
Currently the next, slightly larger installment of the Letters to Lillie series, titled ‘Facing my Demons’

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I love twitter, as it lets you connect with readers!

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Just keep going and stick at it!

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
The right attitude is worth 10 times that of natural talent.

What are you reading now?
The Dan Brown series about Robert Langdon.

What’s next for you as a writer?
Probably will be looking to take my fan-fiction to the next level and write a full length historical novel.

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 inheritance cycle, as it’s so meaty and I think I could read it over and over again!

 

Alicen Scott 

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Hi everyone, I’m Alicen. I grew up in the deep south and my drive for writing didn’t kick in until I was in my 20s, but once it did it took off fast. Over the years I’ve written blogs, edited for indie authors and ran my own review blog for a while too. Eventually, it led me to write my own book series.
I’ve published one book so far and am currently working on the second in what will be a 20+ book series.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The Mythical Universe: The Beginning was a book I had in my head for several years but couldn’t find exactly the way I wanted to do it. Once everything clicked into place with the entire series taking form, I was able to write it pretty quickly.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Sometimes if a scene is in my head I have to write it down even if it’s out of order of what I’m working on. With The Showdown (book 2 in The Mythical Universe) I wrote several scenes before I officially started writing the book.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
The Giver was one of my absolute favorites when I was a teenager. These days I’ve been reading a lot of indie authors and that’s always inspiring to me because they did it their way.

What are you working on now?
The Showdown, the second book in The Mythical Universe.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Honestly, I’m still figuring that out.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Stay persistent.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
The only way you lose is if you give up on yourself. As long as you keep trying, you’re not losing.

What are you reading now?
Her Name Is Murder by AC Merkel.

What’s next for you as a writer?
I hope to finish The Showdown within the next few weeks and start prepping to release it at the end of summer.

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?
Supernatural Academy by Jaymin Eve. All three of them.

Katt Rose 

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I live in the make believe as I find real life depressing and hard. I love music, find it relaxing and emotional, love to be moved by a good song. I have loved horses my whole life, and nothing feels more right than sitting in a saddle escaping in the wooded trails, with my faithful dog alongside me every step of the way.
I studied Creative Writing and Journalism in University, then stepped into the health care field as I have always been one to care about people and want to help.
I could never silence the stories in my head. Once I began to write, I knew there would be no turning back.
I aim to be a well known best-selling author, so I can write my stories full time. At this time I have written 4 books and have just begun my next novel.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Forget Me Not,
The influences for book was simple inspiration from working in health care. You see so many families torn apart by things they can’t control. It’s interesting how religion often comes into play in a time of need. Some people take advantage of that and it ends up being unhealthy.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I will wake up in the middle of the night with a brilliant idea, and I am often found on my couch with laptop writing it out while the thought is fresh in my mind. I do a lot of 3 a.m. writing sessions

What authors, or books have influenced you?
I love Megan Miranda, and the way she tells her stories, all of them. Jane Austen. I like to see woman authors paving the way. I’m not necessarily the biggest Harry Potter fan, but J.K. Rowling is very impressive. I’m watching and reading Ruth Ware. Her books are fantastic.

What are you working on now?
Oh! I started working on a new book. Just started
Can’t say too much. Work in progress. It will bounce between the then and the now. You’ll all have to wait to see how it all comes together.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Still working on that. I am honestly having the most trouble with marketing and advertising, I wish I could just write. I’ve tried facebook, twitter, booksgosocial, different reader lists, and trying to figure out amazon promotion, which is confusing to me.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Never give up. Write what inspires you, your fan club will find you, eventually.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
To just keep on writing, be prepared to write more than you ever have written in your life, as sometimes it takes 20 books before you are noticed and be prepared for rejection.
Even Nicholas Sparks got many rejections before he hit the jackpot.
Your day will come.

What are you reading now?
I am reading Megan Miranda’s All The Missing Girls (as good as all the rest)

What’s next for you as a writer?
Writing and more writing. I’m inspired by the world around me and the smallest event can trigger a story idea. Life is interesting and unpredictable. Maybeee one day my books will take off like hotcakes and I’ll finally be someone well known, but it takes time though.

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 can think of 3
A survival book for being stranded on a desert island (lol)
The biggest encyclopedia so I have lots of paper to start fires with

Black Beauty by Anna Sewell because it was my first favorite book ever.

Bruce Most 

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’ve published five murder mysteries, with my sleuths ranging from a street cop and a fiery woman bail bond agent, to a former big city detective caught up in cattle rustling and murder in contemporary Wyoming. I’ve published with large traditional publishers (St. Martin’s Press), small publishers, and now independently. I recently started writing short stories and two have been published so far in Mystery Weekly. I put up another short story free on my website. Previously, I was a full-time freelance writer, publishing articles in such magazines as Parade, TV Guide, Popular Mechanics, and in-flight magazines, along with countless other writing gigs.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The Big Dive is the sequel to my award-winning Murder on the Tracks. My protagonist is Joe Stryker, a street cop in 1951 Denver. His partner is brutally slain almost in front of his eyes—the second time in Joe’s headline-grabbing career a partner has been killed. How did the killer pull off such a brazen murder and escape? And why was his “choir boy” partner murdered while burglarizing a pawnshop? To protect his dead partner’s reputation and save his own career while trying to solve his partner’s murder, Joe conceals his investigation from his new partner, his superiors, even his wife, who hates his being a cop. All while dodging a homicide detective hell-bent to pin the crimes on him.

Two true historical events inspired the novel, whose threads run through the plot. In the early 1960s, dozens of Denver police officers were arrested for running burglary rings in the city. A national scandal. Some rings went back years, so I “borrowed” from the events, including the book’s title. The second plot thread involves a dark secret that goes back to the shameful internment of Japanese-American citizens in relocation camps during World War II, including a camp in Colorado. I loved doing the historical research.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Nothing more unusual that putting my butt in the chair and writing. In my younger days, I would write until 2 a.m., but now I write in the afternoon. While I wouldn’t call it unusual, I brainstorm particularly well when I’m driving alone in my car. I carry a digital recorder with me so I can capture those moments of inspiration without running down pedestrians.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
My single biggest influence was Raymond Chandler, particularly his book Farewell, My Lovely. I love his mood, his hard-boiled private eye, and his use of language. My two Joe Stryker books are homages to Chandler. When I set up to publish independently, I named my publishing company, Big Sleep Press, after his first published novel. Current authors I admire are mystery icons Michael Connelly and James Lee Burke. My mysteries are whodunits, laying out the clues fairly so readers have a crack at solving the mystery before my sleuth does. Much of that approach derived from my reading the early greats such as Agatha Christie and Ellery Queen. I also read Erle Stanley Gardner of Perry Mason fame, whose paperbacks (100 of them) I inherited from my grandfather.

What are you working on now?
I’m in the final editing stages of another stand-alone mystery. David Dartman is a former investigative reporter and true crime writer currently making a humdrum living writing corporate histories. When the widow of his best friend insists her husband’s suicide was in fact murder, David reluctantly agrees to poke around. He not only doubts her suspicions, he doesn’t have time in his rat-race Denver suburban family life for murder (which sounds suspiciously like the life of the author). But his initial investigation and a string of bizarre, brutal killings unearth uncomfortable truths regarding his friend’s death—truths that jeopardize David’s marriage and his life, and force him to realize that life is more than one long ToDo list.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I wish I had a brilliant answer for that. My bank account would really appreciate it. I’m concentrating hard right now on building my email list. We’ll see.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Write because you love writing, you love creating characters and stories–not because you think it would be cool to be the next Stephen King (there’s only one of him). One night at the family dinner table, I was going on about my main character in one of my books and my son said, “Dad, you make her sound as if she’s a real person.” That’s how much you have to love writing. Most people who “want to write” don’t have the discipline and the “hunger” to put butt in chair and bleed words onto the page. Writing fiction (or nonfiction) is not easy. It’s not like writing out a long grocery list. It’s hard work, often with little payoff in either fans or money. Though at least independent publishing has opened up more opportunities to writers.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Write, rewrite, repeat.

What are you reading now?
Tanya French’s best-selling, award-winning debut mystery In the Woods.

What’s next for you as a writer?
Besides editing my latest mystery, I’m tackling a crime novella. It’s about a disgraced former homicide detective turned private investigator who’s hired to solve the perfect murder. He sees it as his chance at redemption, but his investigation leads him to a place he never imagined. I intend to give away the novella to readers for signing up on my email 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?
Books that are damn long, that’s for sure. Say, The Count of Monte Cristo, The Lord of the Rings (in a single volume as originally intended), A Game of Thrones, and The Pillars of the Earth. Though if I’m going to stranded on this island for very long, I would prefer pads of paper and lots of pens to write my own long book.

Maheen Salman 

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am Maheen Salman Ahmad, a thirteen-year-old Pakistani author. I found my calling at the age of eleven, finding writing to be a way to find relief from my problems and express myself. Always an ambitious person, I resolved to become a published author by the age of thirteen, and after a lot of hard work, achieved my life’s dream. I have won multiple writing awards and have been called a ‘nerd extraordinaire’ more than a few times. I have only just debuted my first novel, To Where It All Began.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The name of my novel is To Where It All Began and it was inspired by a dream and a number of different stories.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I tend to take a notebook everywhere and can’t go a single day without writing at least 500 words.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
I was originally inspired by Christopher Paolini when I learnt that he wrote his debut novel, Eragon, when fifteen and became a bestselling author shortly after. I had a huge burst of ambition and I never like to be second to anyone, so I vowed to publish one of my own novels! Leigh Bardugo’s Six of Crows Duology, Tolkein’s The Lord of the Rings, Christopher Paolini’s Inheritance Cycle, Anthony Horowitz’s Alex Rider, Rick Riordan’s books and Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events have all influenced my writing greatly and I am a huge fan.

What are you working on now?
I am currently working on multiple novels; I am co-authoring a trilogy, writing another series and penning the second book of the Coming Full Circle Cycle (following To Where It All Began) all at the same time.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I use Inkitt, Awesome Gang, This is Writing and number of book promotion sites. In addition, I use Instagram to spread the news of my books.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
I will only say this: I’m a new author myself and this industry is a vast, terrifying one to be in. The publishing journey is hard and slow, but you have to have PERSISTENCE. You will always learn new things and keep getting better – and often, results are underwhelming and dismal – but is you really want to do this, you’re going to get there.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
The best advice? If you want to be a writer, write. Read like a writer. Keep. Writing.

What are you reading now?
I’m reading a number of series: Alex Rider (Nightshade!); re-reading a lot of old series which are personal favourites. (Though if anyone has a good suggestion, please give them, I’m DESPERATE).

What’s next for you as a writer?
I definitely want to achieve the mantle of a bestselling author, and never stop growing.

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 bring the Six of Crows Doulogy, Alex Rider: Nightshade and The Tyrant’s Tomb by Rick Riordan.

Allyson R. Abbott 

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m a British author, now living in Spain and enjoying my life trying to learn Spanish and making more friends, as well as trying new foods and tapas with local wines.
I started my writing journey in 2014 while on a year long road trip in a motorhome through over thirty states in North America. Writing a book was something I’d always had an urge to do and finding time on my hands I set to and experimented. Now, six years later, I am enjoying it more than ever as I allow my characters to drive the story and they tell me how it should end.
I have flitted through a few genres and although generally write about strong willed and determined woman, the genre is not always romance. Also to my amazement I have penned a few nonfiction books, one of which, ‘How to Write a Simple Book Review’ has won awards and is highlighted as a best seller.
I am also in the middle of writing 26 short sexy reads (one for each letter of the alphabet) using Cyra May as a pen name. Each one of these very short stories has a professional at the centre and are like a ‘peek through the window’ of some ones life. A short snap of a moment in time.
Humor runs through all my stories, even the non fiction. We all mostly find something each day to smile at and I find that ‘thing; when I’m writing even my nonfiction books have little cheeky bits on them. When I am bashing away at the keyboard my husband very often says, “why are you smiling,” and I realize I am either in character mode, or reader mode and reacting to the conversation or information.
I write as a panster, which means I do not ploy or plan my books, I write each chapter from scratch and just type away. This is what I mean when I say the character write their own story. I become that character and try to put myself in their shoes and do or say what they tell me. I hope you enjoy my books and will always answer any emails with questions or feedback. As an Independent Author I support new authors and find the support system absolutely fantastic and pass it on when I can.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The Equalizer: Foxxy’s Tipping Point Foxxy: The Equalizer Book1 has just been published (April 2020)
I always make sure my female characters have strength, so Foxxy came out of an idea about a woman who is actually is as low as they can go and then finding her hidden strength, not only to help herself but to help others.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Apparently my face tells the story while I type. I smile when something good is happening, especially during dialogue passages, and frown when I am writing about something bad. I also seem to bash the keyboard a lot harder as I am trying to prove a point.
As mentioned before, I do not plot my books. I do not even know the names of my characters until they appear. I start typing and they come. A bit like, ‘If you build it they will come’. The hardest part of the writing process to me is the opening paragraph, once I have that I am off and running. I do sometimes overnight mull over situations and think about where the story can go, but I find it is best not to force it. The more you plot the more complicated it becomes. I honestly don’t know how some writes, like J K Rowling does it; she planned every Potter book well in advance.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
This is a difficult question because although I do read a lot, most of the genres I enjoy are crime, mystery or thrillers and those authors tend to have a different style. I would love to write like Ian Rankin, but I find I am in too much of a hurry to tell the story than to fill in so much periphery detail. However, authors who have influenced me and my writing are the ones who gave up their time to answer my thousands of questions and to put me back o the right road. Tamara Ferguson is one who I have to mention. I call her my guru and her work ethic never ceases to amaze me.

What are you working on now?
I am now working on The Equalizer: Foxxy’s Process of Elimination.
Foxxy: The Equalizer Book 2
Foxxy is coming into her own now. She has settled in the USA with Richard, her Robin Hood, and their friend Jerry. Having set her up with her own business, Foxxy now is able to go forth and right the wrongs, and help other women who are victims.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I use a variety of methods for promoting my books and would never just commit to one website or platform. On saying that, however, some work better than other and ones like Awesome books, where you can build an author profile to allow readers an insight into your life and character, work very well.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Just do it.
Never say you are an aspiring author, you are either writing or you are not. You may not be published yet, but you will get there. I would also say that if you are writing fiction, then try to create a character or theme that has mileage and build a series. My mistake was jumping about with genres, short stories, novellas, nonfiction etc. I have a series of a few Christmas books with different characters and themes for each one, but I think you need to get the reader to invest in a character and want to read the next installment.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
You are an Indie Author for a reason.
As a newbie on the block in 2014 I spent a lot of time trying to work out what the rules were and how to do everything according to the book. I read an article that basically said, do what ever you want, write how you want. Don’t follow a prescriptive formula, just because everyone else does. I think that is why Indie books are popular because they are different.

What are you reading now?
I have a few books on the go and can’t really say what they are. I read a lot of books through the review clubs/websites, so I can help and support writers by leaving feedback and reviews.

What’s next for you as a writer?
To try and re establish my author platform. Last year (2019) was a very disruptive one for me and I found my writing being out on hold. This year I have my mojo back and I plan on getting at least three Foxxy Books under my belt. I may even try to write another one for the Christmas Kiss series. so watch this space.

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?
First one without any hesitation would be Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. My absolute favorite and I am sure this is why I like to write about good strong women characters.
Second one would be any Janet Evanovich Stephanie Plum stories, They always make me laugh, but again a great female character.
Third ‘Boat building for Beginners’, so I had a chance to get of the island once I had read the other two books a few times.

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Hi there. I was born and raised in India and have called the United States my second continent for the last thirty years. Wherever I’ve lived, I have generally turned to books for answers to life’s big and small questions. My short stories have been published in OyeDrum, Meat for Tea: the Valley Review, Storyscape Journal, Raising Mothers, The Bacon Review, The Bangalore Review and Ozone Park Journal. I was first runner-up for the Los Angeles Review Flash Fiction contest (2017-2018), a finalist for the Fourth River Folio Contest for Prose Prize (2018), long-listed for the Disquiet International Literary Prize (2019 and 2020), and a finalist for the Reynolds-Price International Women’s Literary Award (2019). Love’s Garden is my first novel, forthcoming on October 27, 2020. I am working on a second novel titled Homeland Blues. I live outside Houston with my family and two marmalade cats.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
It is 1898. India is ruled by the British, and India’s women are ruled by British masters as well as Indian men. A desperate young widow sacrifices her firstborn child to save herself from ultimate dishonor. She marries a stranger, but her damaged second family pays dearly for this Faustian bargain. Then, an extraordinary atonement, strange liaisons in politics and love — spanning the two world wars and the Indian independence movement — help her descendants heal from this traumatic private history. Love’s Garden demonstrates the strength, resilience, and unbreakable spirit of mothers and daughters navigating layers of oppression, all while the sun is not-so-peacefully setting on British India. The greatest inspiration for Love’s Garden has been stories — half told, half untold — of women of my own family going back to the nineteenth century and the Indian independence movement in Bengal. Also greatly inspiring is the love and respect I feel for my unsung foremothers.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I write in bed sometimes!! Get some good work done there!

What authors, or books have influenced you?
So many. Jhumpa Lahiri, Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni, Mahashweta Debi, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Isabel Allende, Leni Zumas, Johanna Sinisalo, Octavia Butler, Jeffrey Colvin, Johannes Ananyuru, Chimamanda Adichie, Jennifer Wisner-Kelly, George Eliot…..

What are you working on now?
Homeland Blues is my new novel. It tells the story of a South Asian woman in the US forced to face her internalized racism when her husband’s unexplained disappearance and presumed death compel her to take the measure of her Indian-American or ‘Desi’ community’s loyalty and support, and to choose between them and an ambiguous but powerful feeling of kinship with a bisexual African-American man and immigrants facing deportation in Trump’s America. It’s a story of multi-tentacled hate but also of the love we must find to empathize with the stranger we have always been taught to fear. Delving into critical contemporary issues of race and immigration, Homeland Blues comes straight from the heart of marginalized and under-represented lives.

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am actually a new author! I have spent the past 8 years working on developing myself. At the age of 18, I was unhappy and needed to change. When I was introduced to personal development, my life changed. I began to learn about myself and the tools that I could use to make my life better. By seeking out mentors I have been able to completely transform myself. Now, I am passionate about helping others discover personal development and the tools they need to change their life

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
“Mental Health” Reduce Anxiety and Discover True Happiness”

Danielle Doby said, “When you create a difference in someone’s life, you not only impact their life, you impact everyone influenced by them throughout their entire lifetime.” This quote makes me think about the individual who introduced me to personal development. It was a small gesture but it had such a large impact. I now work at a public school teaching character development/personal development to high school students. The class I teach is so powerful that these students are saying it changed their lives. This has inspired me to write the book, “Mental Health: Reduce Anxiety and Discover True Happiness”

What authors, or books have influenced you?
Dale Carnegie
Jim Rohn
Gary Keller
Les Brown
Wayne Dyer
Earl Nightingale
Norman Vincent Peale
Robert Kiyosaki
Jerry and Esther Hicks

Kevin Trudeau

What are you working on now?
Sharing my first book. I have collected the most helpful tools shared with me throughout my lifetime. It is a very short book with actionable steps others can take to reduce anxiety. I am confident this book is needed by many and I feel obligated to get it in front of them.

ANR OFFICIAL 

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Hello, my name is ANR. I’m a teen published author. I’ve published three poetry books and have a romance novella up for pre-order, set to be released on May 2nd.
I’ve written or at least started 30+ books, which I think have potential in the reading world.
I come from a family of writers and have been writing since 2017. I live in Ohio with my family and dogs, plus one cat, and I have a hard time affording to advertise my books, so I thought interviews was the best way to go about it.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is “Girl of Puzzles” and I began writing it in early 2019. It sprang from my opinion that you can have love without lust, so I decided that I should write a book about (spoiler) a blind girl.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I write better at night than during the day.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
I’d say the biggest author influence has been Randy Ratliff, an unpopular but amazing author in my life.

What are you working on now?
A book called “Empire of Secrets”
I’m still writing the first draft, so I’m not sure if its really going anywhere yet.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Social media seems to work the best for me because a lot of my books are targeted to college-aged girls.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Don’t give up. I can’t stress that enough, I know it will be tempting to throw it in the trash, but don’t do it.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
“Don’t worry about what to write, or even how to write. As a writer, it will come to you. You’ll realize there’s a book you’ve been wanting to read you’re whole life, but it has yet to be written. That’s where you step in.” – Randy Ratliff

What are you reading now?
The Notebook – Nicholas Sparks
Again.

What’s next for you as a writer?
I’m not really sure. I guess I just 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?
1. Bible – KJV
2. Twilight – Stephenie Meyer
3. Eclipse – Stephenie Meyer
4. Blank notebook
