I'm Alex. I've written 6 books, one of which is currently published. Three of them are horror, three of them are the starts to YA fantasy series. I know, that's a weird combo, but I am also about to start a science fiction series. I guess I just write what I want to read in that moment.

Reading, sports, and good beer are my favorite past times, but I am also quite fond of fighting off imaginary bad guys with a broomstick, and annoying my beautiful wife.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
My best writing takes place in a closet. Like a 3×3 walk-in closet with floor-to-ceiling shelves. That way I can sit on my exercise ball, or stand up when I write. I also say the words I write out loud. It makes it easy for me to quickly self-edit as I move along.

What authors have influenced you?
I know it's cliche, but Stephen King. I started reading him around the age of thirteen, and I started writing soon after that. Even when he writes a crap book, the emotions we feel toward his characters, the way we connect with them, it made me want to explore those feelings. All my novels feature monsters that are more character-based than monster-based, even though there is a monster, but that's very King inspired.

Thomas Ligotti and Cormac McCarthy have inspired my latter years of writing. I love the grit of McCarthy, and how Ligotti can tell a story so steeped in the real world, that the supernatural comes off as psychotic or incomprehensible, and that makes it so terrifying–because it is real, at least to the person experiencing it, and they're alone and isolated in that experience.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Read a lot, and read what you love. Write a lot, and write what you love. Write because you love it.

I've been writing since I was a little girl, and got my bachelor's degree in English. I have now published 29 novels and more than 70 fanfictions. I enjoy writing in all genres, and am currently writing a series of fairy tale retellings that people are really enjoying!

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I love having animals around me–specifically, 2 birds and at least one cat, haha. I also enjoy making music playlists to set the mood whilst I am writing.

What authors have influenced you?
Definitely Tolkien, Dickens, the Brontes, Austen, C.S. Lewis, and whoever wrote Beowulf!

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Keep writing, let people who love you and encourage you read your stories, and explore many avenues for publishing.

Cat Clayton was a gypsy in a past life. In her current life, she’s a wife, a mother, a writer, and an artist. She writes best with gallons of coffee, Goldfish, Raisinettes, and dill pickle slices. Although, usually not all at once. Writing from somewhere in Texas, she loves to put her amateur sleuths into precarious situations, force them to stumble upon dead bodies, and help them solve the whodunits. Think Murder, She Wrote, but with a caffeinated, contemporary, & sometimes chick-lit vibe. (Oh, and at least one hot cop.)

How to Leash a Thief is the 1st installment of the Steely & Cuff Mystery series. How to Kennel a Killer is the 2nd and published November 9, 2018. Book 3 How to Fetch a Felon will release September 2019. The series is set to include (4) small town murder mysteries with a colorful cast of characters, large doses of humor, and stories dog lovers are sure to enjoy!

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
When I'm not planted in a chair at a coffee shop, I've got "coffee shop chatter" (Noisli.com) playing in the background through a Bluetooth speaker.

What authors have influenced you?
Jana DeLeon, Diane Mott Davidson, JB Lynn, Ann Charles, Joanne Fluke, Charlaine Harris, and Janet Evanovich.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
I'll pass on a bit of advice I got from Charlaine Harris one day: Never, ever give up.

Tell us about yourself and your books.:
I've been writing since 2002 when I took on a dare from another teacher to write a novel during summer break. Now there are an eclectic mix of children's, young adult, and adult novels published traditionally and independently under my name on Amazon. I retired from teaching in 2006.
I've written a thriller, Edge of Escape, a break-your-heart adventure, The Guardian's Diary, and two paranormal dramas, Sheltered and A Soul's Kiss. My science fiction novels, Exodia and Out of Exodia, cross genres for a futuristic dystopian journey. My first sci-fi adventure is The Girl in the Time Machine. My second foray into sci-fi is the four book space adventure that begins with The Time Bender.
I've also written several children's books and a couple of non-fiction books.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I write early in the morning and don't eat or drink anything for the first three or four hours. Once I start writing and get in the zone, time flies.

What authors have influenced you?
Dean Koontz was the first author to influence me and then probably every author I've read has added something to my style and technique.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
I'd tell new authors to always have someone professionally edit their work. Also read as many books as you can in and out of your genre.
[Read more…] about Author Interview: Debra Chapoton

Tell us about yourself and your books.:
I started late in my publishing life at the age of 65. Until 2011, I never thought of writing anything. I started the book as a form of psychology to try to understand what happened to me in my teenage years. From there it developed into the book, ‘Is it about that boy?’ with the subtitle of ‘The Shocking Trauma of Aversion Therapy.’
The book is a love story with dramatic twists. I fell in love with Stephen at the age of 16 and, although he died many years ago, I am still in love with him 50 years later. Why my love stayed so intense over that time is the underlying story behind the book.
I have lead a very physically active life that started with playing rugby at age thirteen, then mountaineering in my late teens, getting a labourers job in my twenties, rock and ice climbing, and then dry stone walling from the age of twentyfive. Dry stone walls are those built using no mortar, just stone and nothing else. During my walling career to present I have built nearly 10 miles of wall and lifting, by hand, over that time over 40,000 tons of stone.
Indeed my natural ability to build dry stone walls saved my life. During my deepest depressions when I thought about suicide, it was stone in one form or another that I used as a crutch to keep going.
When you read my book you will understand why I have rejected all forms of traditional religion and embraced a kind of Earth-based, Shamanic spiritual form, involving meditation, incense making and burning, and Tarot reading.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Due to my love of stone I have built myself a stoneman’s room in my house. This room has a stone floor, stone fireplace, stone shelves and a stone table. This room is my place of meditation. Here I can read and write with just the sounds of the burning wood in the open fire crackling and the gentle sounds of a snoring dog at my side.
I always have a notebook and pen at my bedside. During the night I’ll often dream so intensively about something which I try to write down as soon as I wake up. During my depression years I had a recurring nightmare about a spaceship which when written down and examined, by someone who understands dreams, revealed a hugely traumatic part of my past. I find it relatively easy to write non-fiction. I find it very difficult to write fiction. My life has had so many moments that would fit into a fiction book but as they have actually happened makes it very difficult for me to separate them.

What authors have influenced you?
I like books that make me think and examine my experiences.
My favourite writers are: Richard Bach with his books which are a mix of fiction and facts. ‘Jonathan Livingston Seagull’ at one time became my bible.
Bruce Chatwin for ‘Songlines’ another writer who mixes fact and fiction. And the perfect book for someone with a faulty memory.
T Thorn Coyle with her books about Wiccan beliefs, ‘Evolutionary Witchcraft,’ ‘Kissing the Limitless,’ ‘Make Magic of Your Life.’
PD Ouspensky for ‘In Search of the Miraculous’ which is a bit dated but is full of wonderful ideas.
Phyllis Curott, ‘Book of Shadows,’ and ‘Witch Crafting: A spiritual guide to making magic.’
All the writers of the Ulverston Writers: Philip Caine, Jeannie French, Maggie Norton, Julia Patten, Peggy Savage, Gillian Ogilvie, and Geoffrey Elleray, Eve Brookes.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Always have a notebook AND pen neer you at all times. I emphasise the AND due to the oftentimes I forget a pen. By all means use your mobile phone for these notes but pen and paper means you can get the notes down quickly.
I have a notebook at my bedside so that in the event that I have had an intensive dream or nightmare I can write down my thoughts immediately on waking up.
[Read more…] about Author Interview: Jeremy Gavins

Tell us about yourself and your books.:
I was born and reared in Southern California, in the Los Angeles County beach community of Redondo Beach. In college, I studied journalism and afterward embarked on a journalism career during which I worked as a newspaper crime reporter, a national award-winning investigative journalist, and a freelance correspondent for LIFE Magazine and Newsweek, and finally as editor of a business newspaper. After twenty-some years of that, I grew tired of journalism and left it for a position as an analyst in combat medical operations for the U.S. Navy. I left that position in 2018.

Besides my journalism career, I also spent 27 years in three branches of the military reserves. I did search and rescue. medical response, and maritime law enforcement in U.S. Coast Guard Reserve for 13 years broken service, and counter-insurgency warfare in the Naval Reserve for three years in between my two tours in the Coast Guard. This was followed by 11 years in a component of the California National Guard, where I served first as a medical service corps officer, then as a military policeman. I just retired in the Fall of 2016 as an executive officer of a state MP unit with the rank of major.

I’ve also been a member of a federal Disaster Medical Assistance Team and a local county disaster response team, as well as a reserve sergeant and medical specialist with the local sheriff’s Search and Rescue Detail. All of this, of course, was part time.

Because of my background, I tend to write mystery thrillers. I have two series, the Peter Brandt mysteries featuring a war-scarred journalist, and the Linus Schag, NCIS, thrillers. I also have an award-winning collection of short stories called DUTY, with mystery and suspense stories dealing with national service, and a sci-fi novella called EDEN, in which a group of American GIs in war torn Iraq stumble onto an ancient secret about the beginnings of humankind. My latest novel, Polar Melt, is a sci-fi novel centered around the melting Arctic ice cap. That book is due out January 1.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
When I was still working for the Navy, writing time was scarce. So, I also carried my Kindle Fire tablet and a Bluetooth keyboard in my ruck everyplace I went. When I got a chance to write, I would bring them out and pound out a few hundred words. I also did a lot of writing on my iPhone during meetings. When everyone else was checking their emails and texts, I was writing a short story or something.

These days, my writing schedule is more conventional. I sit at a desk first thing in the morning and aim for 500 words. After that, I do freelance editing for publishers or other authors.

What authors have influenced you?
Oh, that is impossible to say because there were so many. In college, I was very influenced by the Lost Generation writers – Hemingway, Dos Passos, Remarque. But I also read a lot of science fiction by writers like Bradbury, Wells, Verne, etc. Of course, I read and still read a lot of thrillers and mysteries from the greats like Ian Fleming, Raymond Chandler and John D. MacDonald. Of contemporary writers, I would say David Morrell has had the most influence on my work. Like David, I do a great deal of research for my novels to give them an air of authenticity.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
One word: Rewrite. Rewrite, rewrite, rewrite. Too many new writers complete one draft of a manuscript and think it's ready for publication. It's not. You have to be patient and put it aside for a while, then come back to it with fresh eyes. Do that two or three times, minimum. I always say the art is not in the writing, but in the rewriting.

Tell us about yourself and your books.:
I am an Author, Life Coach, Clinical Hypnotherapist and life voyager. I strive to inspire conscious living and conscious dialogue. I live in the Northwest and enjoy kayaking and the ocean (okay, I'll admit it, I'm a beach bum). I have written 3 books of modern poetry, a recovery workbook ("Never Enough"), and an award-winning autobiography ("Once The Storm Is Over: From Grieving to Healing After the Suicide of My Daughter"). My next will be published in 2019 by Austin Macauley Publishers, "Messages From Metatron: A Course in Self-Transformation."

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I am an eclectic author; I never know which way my curiosity will point me. I tend to express my thoughts privately. After intense editing, I transfer what once was incoherent scribbles and ramblings to my spiritual self-help blog. I can't imagine being such a precise and organized writer that I could blog directly from my thoughts and be understood. Writing is an art, and like all art my writing is messy and chaotic at first glance. It undergoes a refining process that shapes the article or book into a finished, gleaming piece.

What authors have influenced you?
I enjoy autobiographies about people who have overcome the odds and left the world a better place. My mental health hero is Dr. Elyn R. Saks who wrote the recommendation that graces the cover of my autobiography. She is my "she-ro" for several reasons: She is an Associate Dean and Professor at the University of Southern California Gould Law School and an expert in mental health law. However, Dr. Saks lives with schizophrenia and has written about her experience with the illness in her award-winning best-selling autobiography, "The Center Cannot Hold: My Journey Through Madness." Saks is also a cancer survivor. Despite insurmountable odds that would stop most people, Dr. Saks has triumphed over illness by moving forward in spite of it.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
My advice is that good writing is brave writing. Don't be afraid to bear your soul by detailing your tragedy and human frailty. This is what people can relate to. And, your "oddness" or special gifts may be the thing that readers find most appealing about you and will sell books. Don't hide behind your writing. Let readers see who you really are, all of you.

I'm a thirty-something that still behaves like a twenty-something and haven't quite decided what I want to do when I grow up. I am an ENFP and live life to the fullest. I love to be creative and have many artistic hobbies. I sketch and paint (though not very well), I blow glass, and I love photography. I'm a wife and mother, and we have two adorable dogs. I have a degree in psychology, love to write, and am currently attempting to learn the piano!
My books are reverse harem romances that are relatively quick reads. I'm attracted to paranormal subjects so my books have mystical themes. I've included some pretty graphic content and steamy sex scenes, so my writing isn't intended for the faint of heart!

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I think it's hard to define what is normal for writers, but I find myself doing my best work while I'm doing something else. Cooking dinner? Write a chapter. Taking a shower? Write a chapter. Watching my son play a sport, well you get the picture. I usually jot down quick notes as soon as I can so I remember what it was I wanted to say.

What authors have influenced you?
This is such a difficult question because I have read so many books in a myriad of genres. I'm sure that every book I've read has probably influenced me in some way even if I didn't recognize it at the time. I believe that my writing style is my own and grows as I do, but I'm being influenced by other authors on social media. The writing community seems really supportive of one another and some of the bigger names have great advice for indies.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Trust yourself and work hard. I think that every author seeks a certain level of perfection, especially on their first book. The problem is, no matter how many times you revise, you are still going to want to make changes because nothing is ever perfect. You have to believe that you did your best and put it out there for the world. Don't get discouraged if you don't hit the best sellers list right away, just keep producing content you can be proud of.

Stenetta is a: wife, mother, and grandmother. Her favorite past-time is watching cartoons and Jeoporary. One of her beloved quotes comes from Mary Poppins: “ In every job, there must be an element of fun.”

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I would say my most unusual writing habit would be; would be to have post-its everywhere.

What authors have influenced you?
There have been several authors who have influenced me over the years. John C. Maxwell, because he writes books that are particular for everyone. Bishop T. D. Jakes, he is diverse in his writing from religious to a daily lifestyle. Dr. Seuss, I just love rhythms and Edgar Allen Poe.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
The advice I would give to new authors is to be patient. Writing is a process storytelling and it can take years to finish one book. Also, I would tell authors to begin marketing their, earlier than later. Remind yourself that I am a writer, not just a person who scribbles using pen and paper.

Tell us about yourself and your books.:
My rather convoluted life story goes something like this: conceived in California, born in Zimbabwe, schooled in South Africa, emigrated to Australia, worked in New Zealand, Hong Kong, Singapore, China and now living in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

With a background in psychology — and a career as a copywriter and creative director in the Mad Man world of multinational ad agencies — people watching and understanding the human spirit have always come naturally to me.

The 10 books I’ve published to date have sold over 100,000 copies, thanks to a very engaged readership (if that includes you, thanks so much).

I write military history (WW 2 books), business behaviour (especially involving creativity and cognitive skills and the science and art of persuasion), Asia expat books, and travel.

This eclectic mix of genres makes me slightly unusual as a writer, where authors tend to specialize in one category. But I’ve checked the rule books and nothing says I can’t do this!

My bucket list is mostly comprised of two-wheeled motorcycle adventures in remote parts of the world. Riding and writing – two of my favourite things in life.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
My MOST unusual writing habit? That's not fit for publication here!

For me, writing starts with the feint sniff of a story angle. A topic I'd love to know more about, and love to share with my readers. Regardless of whether it's something historical, or something that I'm going to create from zero.

At any one time I've probably got 10 books on my long-list to tackle. Of those probably 4 are in various stages of writing progress at any one time. I'm quite methodical in mapping things out, ie chapter orders etc, less so in organizing all my research papers and shoeboxes, but the real storytelling doesn't start until I know what the first line and first few paragraphs are going to be. That gives me a ‘true north’ to work towards and it flows from there. Openings and closings are very important to us psychologically.

Mostly, I'll start with the most emotional event within a story to get us off to the races with a bang … then work backwards to explain how we got there.

Sometimes when working on a longer book I might feel I need some instant creative gratification, so I'll set it aside and write a shorter book (or a magazine feature article) quickly just to get the creative fix.

What authors have influenced you?
I probably plough through 50+ books a year. I'm not a fast reader, just voracious.

I love musical biographies and autobiographies. Loved the authentic voice of Keith Richards' Life. (It was just like Keef speakin' to me.) Just finished Bruce Springsteen's autobiography too. What a great work ethic, and he deserves all the success that came his way. To me it’s the self-belief and overcoming the naysayers to achieve your dream that I find most compelling there.

I also devour behavioural economics and pop psychology books in great quantities. Gladwell. Dan Ariely. The Freakonomics gang. Robert Cialdini. Kahneman: brilliant but heavy-going (even for me with a background in psychology).

And military history. The Japanese theatre in World War 2. Especially Singapore, Malaya and the Thai-Burma Death Railway in Kanchanaburi. I'm a special interest military history tour guide and have become something of an expert on this. I can learn at least one new thing from each military history book that I read. At primary school, Paul Brickhill's The Colditz Story and Reach for the Sky (The Douglas Bader Story) I probably re-read a dozen times because I was gripped by the derring-do.

I'm not a big fiction reader, but I'd say Noel Barber's Tanah Merah is probably the most emotionally engaged I've been with a fiction book. I also respect his non-fiction works, such as Sinister Twilight, greatly.

I went to the same primary school as Wilbur Smith in South Africa, and grew up with his wonderfully descriptive (and well-researched) novels of action and adventure in exotic settings.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Just. Start. Writing. Oh, and read a lot.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I always write everything down on paper before typing up. Even though it's a bit outdated, I still like using paper to write out my stories.

What authors have influenced you?
Stephenie Meyer, Ellen Schreiber, and Maggie Steifvater. I love their plotlines and the amount of detail used in their stories.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Yes, just follow your heart and write what you want, rather than what you think others want you to write. At the end of the day, you'll be a lot happier with your decisions.
[Read more…] about Author Interview: Tori Wilson

Tell us about yourself and your books.:
Writing has always been a passion for me. For the thirty-five years that I taught elementary and middle school, reading and writing were the anchors for motivating my students. As a retired teacher, reading and writing also motivate me. Presently, I’m writing a series entitled Chronicles of the Hamlet of Sipsey. It’s so title because of my love and fascination for C.S. Lewis’s series, Chronicles of the Narnia. My series is about an African-American community in a small Alabama town set in the 1960s. The church is the center of community life and the characters are intertwined in poignant and sometimes humorous ways. The first two novels in the series, The Burden of Sweetberry and God’s Sacred Feast are completed and on sale at Amazon.com. Fury of the Scorned is the third novel and will be published in November, 2018.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I write very early in the morning and very late at night. I listen to music as I write. If my characters are sad, I listen to Lionel Ritchie, Bobby Blue Bland or Brook Benton. If my characters are happy, I listen to Pharrell Williams, Beyonce, Patti Labelle and Whiteny Houston. If they’re in crazy mood I listen to rap. If they’re pining over love, I listen to Coca Taylor or Luther Vandross. I listen to gospel music on Sundays and take my characters to church.

What authors have influenced you?
C.S. Lewis is favorite as a brilliant writer of Children’s Books. Maya Angelou is a favorite as is Toni Morrison, Alice Walker and Terry McMillan. The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran has been an enduring influence on my life as well as my writing. I read Gone with the Wind about every three years, and I reference it often because it is very instructive concerning White and Black Southern culture. I use Frank Yerby as a reference, and I also read Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and just about anything that Oprah Winfrey recommends.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
My advice to new writers is to embrace every experience as a learning tool. There is value in everything and everybody. Work on your writing everyday if it’s only a sentence or paragraph. Write, proofread, rewrite, revise, review over and over again. Remember, when in doubt, leave it out.

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Throughout my life, I have always enjoyed writing fiction, and have had many novels in the works always. I have written many technical manuals, and technical evaluations for my main career. Now that I am at retirement age, I am enjoying completing the novels I started. So far, I have published one completed novel, Angels' Eyes, and have published another novel, "Angels' Heart." My style for writing fiction is much different. You will enjoy how I intertwine several themes and bring them together in the ending.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Angels' Heart is my latest book. It was inspired by someone I met long ago.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Yes. Read my book, and you will see how uniquely I put a story together. I also make use of a couple apps on my phone. One is Google Keep. I use Keep to use voice entry to make a note of ideas I come up with. The other is Out Of Milk. Out Of Milk is a shopping list app, which also has To-Do lists. I add things as I think of them.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
1984. Also all the books by Samuel Clemens. Have you read "Christian Science" by Samuel Clemens? This book taught me how to use humor in a work of fiction. His book, "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" taught me that relationships could be an adventure as well.

What are you working on now?
Currently, I am working on completing "Angels' Heart."

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I have not decided on a favorite yet.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Keep writing and keep proofreading. Spend at least 2 hours a day writing. Don't worry if it doesn't seem to go as fast as you would wish. Put the quality in it and you will get inspired to write. Sometimes I may spend 2 days on researching to work on just one paragraph, but in the end it is well worth it.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Follow your heart.

What are you reading now?
Angels' Heart again.

What’s next for you as a writer?
I will be working on the Angels' series for quite a long time.

What is your favorite book of all time?
The gospel according to John. It is amazing how themes are intertwined, and there is much humor there as well.

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I'm a new author who had a quarter-life crisis and dropped everything to go soul-searching and found my answer at my fingertips and between the pages.

I published my first book on October 24, 2018, and I'm working on my second right now.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Hard Focus.
I related to the female protagonist, Maria, as she realized she wasn't enjoying her work and wanted to go in a completely different direction. Other than that, I wanted to portray a romantic, passionate relationship that develops over time, so Benji and Maria told me their story and I wrote it down. 🙂

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Does sitting in front of my laptop for 16 hours a day count?

What authors, or books have influenced you?
I grew up reading Harry Potter, and it was a big inspiration for me to read more and even try my hand at writing (fanfiction!!!). Every book I've come across has influenced me in some way. There's always something new to learn from every author and their distinct writing voices.

What are you working on now?
I'm working on the second book of my series, Troublesome Affections. All the books occur in the same universe but read as standalones. This one will take place in Chicago, with one who refuses to be tied down and the other who longs to fly away. It's still in the works!

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I'm still trying to figure that out too!

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Write, write, write. Discipline is the most important thing. Sometimes writing doesn't result in a product. It's the workout.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Even at my 20th book, I sometimes feel like I don't know what I'm doing. But the difference between my first and 20th book is 19 books of experience.

What are you reading now?
I'm juggling a few ARC books. I'll be starting Good Omens by Neil Gaiman soon.

What’s next for you as a writer?
More writing and figuring out how this whole thing works. I'm looking to exercise my discipline and develop my writing voice.

What is your favorite book of all time?
The Messenger by Markus Zusak.
