Konstantina Kalliontzi 


Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I live in Athens, although I love the idea of moving to different places. Generally, traveling is my other passion – except for writing!
I first started writing about seven years ago. I wasn’t sure what I would like to do with my writing when I began. But when I finished my first story, I knew this is my dream! I have written six books and two scripts since then, but the first three books were like… training!

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book, just coming out, is “The One – Chronicle of a Crime”. It’s the first part of “The One” trilogy.
I started writing “Chronicle of a Crime” about four years ago. You know, when I was first asked about the inspiration, about four months ago, my answer was “I don’t remember”. An embarrassing moment! Now I can see I was led to the idea after extensive thinking, mostly about what it feels like, what it means to live next to a charismatic person.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Unusual habits… Well, I can say I’m a little… traditional when it comes to writing! A Word document is enough to me. I know there are a lot of great ways to write a book with, very helpful, but I hate changes in my writing tools!
For example, I always take extensive notes in hand on a writing pad before starting my manuscript. This writing pad is always next to my computer. I remember everything I’ve written in there by heart. But if you take my writing pad from me… I go hysteric! Of course, No one’s allowed to touch it!

What authors, or books have influenced you?
“The Little Prince” by Antoine de Saint-Exupery is the first book that really had an impact on my mind and my heart. It’s the sweetest thing I’ve ever read! It’s like… this book awakens human beneath.
Fyodor Dostoevsky has had a great influence on me too. I believe Dostoevsky was a pioneer in examining and understanding the mentality of people and I really admire him for that. Reading his work made me want to look deep inside my characters’ soul and mind.

What are you working on now?
“The One – Filming a Crime”. It’s the second part of “The One” trilogy, just released.
It’s the first time I write a book series and it feels great working on how the characters and the action evolve.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
To be honest, I’m still working on this. It’s less than a year I’m a self-published author. So, I study a lot about self-publishing and promoting. I try several things, trying to see what really works.
The only conclusion I’ve come to, is that we, authors, should interract with and support each other. It’s amazing how supportive authors, especially self-published authors, can be with each other – even if they are complete strangers!

Do you have any advice for new authors?
You will not write a masterpiece at once. And that’s fine! That’s what happens to everyone. I read my first draft ever about two years ago. And I was like… “oh my God! Did I really write like this?”
So, don’t let a bad first draft disappoint you and never give up.
We hear a lot about inspiration, but let’s be honest: it’s only hard, constant work that makes everyone a better author. Let me tell you, it’s a wonderful journey!
I once read one of the very first books of Nikos Kazantzakis, an amazing author I truly admire. And it was a disappointment! What I mean, is that authors need to believe in themselves and keep working. Even your idol author could have started with a bad first draft!
Of course, not everyone’s going to like your books. There will always be people who don’t like your work. But this doesn’t mean your work isn’t good. We are just people, with different tastes and opinions.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
“Embrace your obscurity!” I’m grateful I’ve heard this phrase.
There were moments I was heartbroken because of my obscurity. And this blocked me. I couldn’t think or write. But then I heard this phrase. I thought about it and I said: “why not”. I stopped caring about it. And then everything became easier.

What are you reading now?
“Lord Arthur Savile’s Crime and Other Stories” by Oscar Wilde. And then I’m starting “Stormy Weather” by Ranaildo H. Timms. It sounds very promising!

What’s next for you as a writer?
Well… After concluding “The One” trilogy, I’m going to write a thriller I’m thinking about.
It’s going to take place in the Amazon rainforest.

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 Little Prince” for sure! Then I would choose a poems anthology of Konstantinos Kavafis and “The Idiot” by Fyodor Dostoevsky.

Danielle Thornewell 


Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I, Danielle Thornewell, was born on July 7, 1975 to Kenneth and Virginia Reed. My family also consists of two sisters Toni and Lynnette. I have been married for over 22 years to a wonderful man named Robert and have two children, Alexis, and Adam.

I attended Hammonton Elementary and Middle Schools. In 1993 I graduated from Hammonton High School. In 2020 I graduated from Atlantic Cape Community College with my Associates Degree in Office Systems Technology.

I continue to reside in Hammonton, NJ.

I have always been extremely interested in writing poetry and short stories since I was incredibly young. I currently have three children’s book that have been published entitled “The Mems”, my follow up to that was “The Mems – Return to the Hidden World” and my final book is “Bijou – The Smallest of the Gods” which is a children’s activity book based on a story of mythology. Although I have had poetry published prior in contests and anthologies my book “Journeys of the Soul” will be my first stand-alone book of poetry. I have also recently tried other forms of writing and put out two writing journals for readers to write their own thoughts in called “What Was I Supposed to Remember?” and “Count Your Blessings Today, Tomorrow and Days to Come”.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is called “The Mems – Return to the Hidden World”. I had written the first story in the series “The Mems” many years ago and had gotten away from writing after it finally got published. I had always wanted to return to my passion which was writing but didn’t find the time. After much thought, and prayers I finally found my spark again to start writing and that is when “The Mem – Return to the Hidden World” really started taking shape.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I am not a morning person, so I guess it may seem unusual that I do most of my writing late at night. It is quiet and I get the best ideas at that time.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
It seems funny but I grew up reading a lot of Stephen King books. He was always my favorite author, because his writing style. He put so much description into his books he made it seem like you were really there and experiencing the story right along with the characters. I turned more towards children’s and young adults books, but I want my readers to feel like they are taking the journey right along with the characters. I try and put a lot of feeling and description to give the reader the best vision when reading. I owe that to Stephen King.

What are you working on now?
I am already trying to get an outline together of the next book in “The Mems” series. I am hoping that the series can be at least 3 or 4 books long.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I am just starting with my promoting of my books again and have found great websites that offer free promoting, such as “Awesome Gang”. I have also really been pushing sites such as Facebook and hopefully I can soon jump into Instagram and others.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
My advise would be to just keep at your writing. Even if you have to step aside for a little while to get a break, don’t give up. If you have writing in your heart then your readers will feel it and enjoy your story.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
My friends from church have always reminded me when I am down that I am a child of God and I can accomplish anything. I always try to remember that when I am feeling down or want to give up.

What are you reading now?
I haven’t started anything in particular yet, but I do have a few Stephen King books on my book shelf that I haven’t started yet.

What’s next for you as a writer?
I hope to keep growing as a writer and taking my books to the next level. I pray that in the coming years I can turn this into my profession. I want to do something that I truly love for the rest of my life.

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 first would be the bible, the second would be a Stephen King novel and one would be one of my own books so when I get low I can remind myself how far I have come in my writing. I think my last book would be a photo album of my family so I could see them (if I was stranded alone).

Tyler Russell 


Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m a poet and speculative fiction writer. To Drown a Man, a poetry collection, is my first published book, and When Fire Splits the Sky, a novel, will be my second when it comes out next year. I’m also a high school English teacher, husband, and father of five.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
To Drown a Man came out of a time in my life when I was re-evaluating a sort of aimlessness I’d taken on, and the way I related to other people. I’d become very closed-off and guarded, and behind that was a lot of shame. Even my writing, which is something I’d been doing for almost a decade at that point, I realized had become something I used as a barrier between myself and others. I wanted people to see me in a certain way, in other words, so I tried to present myself that way in my writing.

So, as I started to dig into some of this internal work, I actually stopped writing for a period of 6 months to a year, I don’t exactly remember. Deciding to start again is another story in and of itself, but these poems are some of the first things to come out of that time period, looking at myself, others, the world, and my own work through different, more vulnerable lenses.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Probably the opposite of unusual, actually. I’m definitely a person of routine, and that shows in my writing habits. I generally try to get a certain number of pages done a certain number of days a week. Sometimes they’re good and sometimes they’re not, but after long enough the good piles up. Showing up and sitting down has been the formula for me.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
I love the New Weird writers: China Mieville, Jeff Vandermeer, Gene Wolfe, and the really wild spec stuff. David Mitchell, Helen Oyeyemi. Carmen Maria Machado blew my brain wide open when I read her collection—I’ve been obsessively re-reading “Especially Heinous” for months now.

Then there’s the New Sincerity: Maggie Smith, George Saunders, David Foster Wallace. Writers who are unapologetically un-ironic and vulnerable in that they’re writing about things like kindness and empathy.

And then I love writers who are able to convey even glancing takes on the spiritual and sublime, and that’s a tradition that goes back millenia.

I’d say my own writing mostly comes out of exploring the cross-roads of these three traditions, simply because it’s what resonates the most powerfully with me.

What are you working on now?
I’m about finished with edits on a collection of short stories, most of which have already been published in a variety of journals. I’m also working on a New Weird novella, a chapbook of prose poems, and I have an early draft of a small-town sci-fi mystery. However, the main thing that’s been occupying my writing time for the last year or so has been a far-future science fantasy epic that I’ve jokingly begun to call my Middle Earth. I’d say I’m 8-10 years away from even an early draft, but I love it. It’s been a lot of fun.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I don’t know that I can say it’s the best, but I’ve had a lot of fun with Twitter. I stayed off all social media for years, but got on Twitter about a month ago. It’s a genre all it’s own, man.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
I’m going to steal Wendell Berry. “Make a place to sit down. Sit down.”

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Can I use that Wendell Berry quote again? Probably not. In “Make Good Art,” Neil Gaiman says the best advice he received that he didn’t take was from Stephen King, who told him to “enjoy this.” It’s easy to worry about outcomes, or stress about this or that in the writing life, but at heart it’s really fun, and if you can remember that it can remain so. There’s enough space at the table for all of us.

What are you reading now?
I’m reading a lot of poetry right now, specifically Zachary Schomburg, Maggie Smith, and old issues of Rattle and Image. I also just finished Patrick Rothfuss’s The Name of the Wind and David Mitchell’s Slade House, which were both brilliant. Just today I’m finally—FINALLY—getting started on NK Jemisin, many years too late.

What’s next for you as a writer?
This summer I’ll be working with my editor on final passes on When Fire Splits the Sky, my first novel. It’s a pretty wild, cross-genre ride. I keep describing it as a mid-apocalyptic, road trip, marital thriller. Basically, a husband and wife are on the verge of divorce when an unspecified catastrophe strikes and they wind up stuck in a car together, driving through fire and hell and dealing with their own addictions and traumas, as the outside world collapses around them. It’s sort of like Twister meets The Road meets Silver Linings Playbook.

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 want a few really dense spiritual texts, things that would only dole themselves out in little pieces, and unfold differently each time. As far as novels go, I’d want a doorstopper or two, maybe Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy.

Melody Kepler 


Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m kind of a nerd. I love sci-fi, dungeons and dragons, and enjoy the good side romance story.

I work a day job as an architectural drafter and my personal life belongs, primarily, to my beautiful family. I am fascinated by psychology and the way the mind works. I picked up writing as a personal outlet to work through the stresses of my life. It ended up being more cathartic than I knew it would be. People tell me my character conversations and conflicts feel so real. That may be due to the conversations being a mixture of exactly how I imagine them going in my head and how they actually end up playing out. Just about everyone has experienced that awkwardness after saying something dumb to that person they fancy and then scolding themselves silently, or even going so far as saying, “Oh, man! I should have said this other thing instead! That would have been clever!” My dialog is based on my experience of real conversations from the mind of an anxious person who never really quite knows how to respond. Also, my observations of how others interact so seemingly seamlessly.

Right now I only have one published novel. However, I have contributed to an anthology that will be launching in a few months. I also started a small indie publishing company to help self-publishing authors through the process of getting their book on the market.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The title of my latest published book is “Extension”. I was inspired by a music video where a mystical/alien being falls in love with a robot, and it morphed into its own thing from there.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Well, I’m not sure. What’s unusual to one person may be commonplace to another. What’s important is having confidence in the process that works for you.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
Orson Scott Card is my major influencer. I found my storyline format follows his a fair bit with a good portion of the beginning of the story being character building before the action starts kicking up.

What are you working on now?
I’m contributing to an anthology that will be released later in the year 2021. The date is tentative right now.
I’m also working on the sequel I have working titled “Fracture” to my first publication Extension.
Another project I have started outlining is a paranormal romance novel called Vesper’s Grasp.
The last project I have started outlining doesn’t have a title yet but it’s a space drama.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I focus a lot on the reedsy marketing emails that send out marketing suggestions as well as kindlepreneur.com. Really, researching your novel and target audience are the most effective ways to know how to promote your books.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Do it. You can do it and the feeling of holding your book in your hand is one that is hard to top. You can’t please everyone so write the book you want to read.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Love yourself and be comfortable and confident in who you are and what you can accomplish.

What are you reading now?
Black Recluse by Anna Bowman. It’s a steampunk science fiction romance(maybe?) I smell a romance brewing but I am only three chapters in so, we’ll see 🙂

What’s next for you as a writer?
Writing more books and self-publishing.

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?
3-4 books…so, books within a series are all counted individually? Dang it. Okay. I’d probably bring along Cosmos by Carl Sagan, Birthright (the 2nd book in the Descendant series) by Nichole Giles, Homebody by Orson Scott Card, and The Kraken Project by Douglas Preston.

Roxanne Remy 


Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m a nurse, who’s stumbled into a writing hobby. I’ve got one in the shelves.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
They Can’t Eat You for Supper is a novel inspired by true events. After my identifying my personal struggles with parental alienation, I started searching for answers to questions I’d never asked before. Support groups introduced me to a community of other parents who were crippled by an archaic, litigious system designed to tear families apart, rather than strengthen them. My heart wrenched at how widespread the issues were across the US and the world. It compelled me to make a difference. I started collaborating with state officials, in my home state, on how we could reform the local family legal system. From that arose my passion to educate others about what their sisters, brothers, and friends were experiencing. It’s so easy to sit on the sidelines and tell a parent what they should do, but that person is usually not the one paying the lawyers or taking time away from work to go to court. My hope was that someone would buy the book for entertainment purposes, and walk away with a new perspective.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I’m sure I will develop some over time. Authors are quirky and I already meet that requirement.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
Wow, that’s tough. I have absolutely lost my soul in some books over the years. I guess the first one, I remember was Lovely Bones, by Alice Seabold. Words cannot express how much I loved, hated, cried over this book. It was truly one that made me want to be an author.

What are you working on now?
The sequel, of course. They Didn’t Eat Me for Supper.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Facebook and Book Bub Ads.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Take time to learn the business of writing.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Write the damn book.

Nicky Testaforte 


Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I started writing after I got laid off or reorganized out of 7 jobs. I jumped into a limo to make ends meet while I was looking for work. Little did I know that the limo job was going to produce amazing stories from Day One. That became “Tales of A New York Limo Driver – Sex, Excess and Stupidity on Four Wheels.

As of 4/21 I have 8 books that I’ve written. Genres include: Revenge Thrillers, Action/Adventure, Serial Killer/Police Procedural, Literary Fiction and a book of Monologues for Actors.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The latest book is a sequel to “Exacting Retribution”. I guess the only inspiration for all of my books except the Limo book, is that I was dropped on my head at birth…

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
No. I tend to write in a linear fashion, no outline and start back at the beginning editing the hell out of it. Rinse and repeat

What authors, or books have influenced you?
So many including John Sanford, Jeffrey Deaver and Nelson DeMille. I can segregate reading a great book for pleasure and banging out one of my own.

What are you working on now?
Promoting all of my titles, while I conjure up another wild ride to write.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
One of my better promo ideas was making up business cards and postcards with the cover on one side and a blurb on the other with buying options. I gave those out to anyone with a pulse.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Write what you know and makes you happy. Don’t try and write for a trend, you’ll never catch up. And learn to take criticisim like water off a duck’s back.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Lead, Follow or Get Out of the Way.

What are you reading now?
James Swain. His Billy Cunningham and Jon Lancaster/Beth Daniels series are great.

What’s next for you as a writer?
Not sure where I’m gonna go next…

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?
An iPad with the Kindle app loaded with all of my “I’m gonna read this next.” books.

John Rehill 

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I wrote one novel that took way too long and turned out very bad. I was trying to write about love before I’d been in love. I found a niche writing about comedy and technology. I wrote one screenplay (the Singularity) which I published on Amazon. I’ve also published a satirical get-rich quick pocketbook.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The Singularity (the Screenplay), is my latest book. It is in movie format, but easily readable. It was inspired by what I could imagine could go wrong with artificial intelligence and how that could be funny. I ultimately thought, “What if the AI was politically correct?” That would be funny. So I wrote the story.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I go long periods without inspiration, but that seems pretty common.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
Victor Hugo
Ayn Rand
Larry David
Charles Bukowski

What are you working on now?
I’m trying to keep an active blog at johnjrehill.medium.com but I am also trying to come up with a more realistic AGI novel. Still funny, but a tad more realistic than the Singularity (the Screenplay).

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Still new and trying to discover the best methods for promotion. I’ve been trying to gain exposure on social media (instagram: @johnrthewriter) (johnjrehill.medium.com).

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Write through the crap. I recently reread my first novel (unpublished and unpublishable) and it was so horrible I laughed. It was good to see I’ve improved even if just a little. Write through the pain.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
I don’t know. I think it’s always you who knows best for you, but sometimes it takes hearing something from someone else for you to be sure.

What are you reading now?
Rereading Atlas Shrugged.

What’s next for you as a writer?
Continue writing and grow an audience that appreciates my work. Work with others.

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?
A Short History of the World, HG Wells
Harry Potter (Whole Series in one book), JKR
Old Man and the Sea, Hemingway
Les Miserables, Victor Hugo
