Author Interview: Jess Blenkarn

Leave a Comment

Tell us about yourself.:
My name is Jess Blenkarn, I am currently a 22-year-old student from Southern Ontario. I wrote and self-published my first book at age 15 while in the 10th grade, called Irrefutable Annihilation. Over the next two years, I wrote and self-published two more books, called Soul Survivor and West of Dawn. In 2020, I wrote The Sixth Book in 3 months, and in 2021, World Castle Publishing professionally published it.

Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?:
I grew up in a small town (~800 people) about an hour outside of Toronto. A lot of my books are about small town characters, since it's really all I've ever known. I think this brings a sense of honesty to my writing.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
None, really. I just find that my first draft is usually very similar to the final draft. I guess that's because I do so much planning that the first draft is exactly what I wanted. But I'm not sure how unusual that is.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Never give up. I can't stress this enough. No matter who tells you that you cannot be a writer. Prove them wrong every day of your life.

Author Interview: Len Varley

Leave a Comment

Tell us about yourself.:
Born young, I was transported to the great southern penal colony of Australia at an early age. I developed a love of the ocean and all things watery there. This led to a more universal desire to defend and protect nature and the planet.

Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?:
Growing up in Australia and being blessed with a father who was something of a wanderer and adventurer perhaps set the tone for my writing.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I do a lot of 'old school' pen and paper writing. I have to use one special pen exclusively – my current pen is carved from hazel; a wood used in Celtic tradition for wands and divining rods.

What authors have influenced you?
Growing up in Australia and being blessed with a father who was something of a wanderer and adventurer perhaps set the tone for my writing.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Write often and write widely.

About Serial Dater:

Who can you trust if you can’t trust yourself?

When Scott McCabe’s wife dies tragically he almost loses his mind. And his son.
Three years later he’s a struggling lone parent to six-year-old Jae, who longs for a new Mum. So reluctantly, Scott lets his best friend talk him into online dating.

And from the minute he publishes his profile, Scott has made his Date with Fate.

Underneath his casual exterior Scott is a man with a tormented conscience, a potholed memory and a vivid imagination. Is he plagued by guilt about Sally’s death, or is it something that runs much deeper?
Scott doesn’t know, any more than he knows what he does when he loses time. And Scott loses a lot of time.

When the girls he dates disappear one-by-one, he begins to doubt his sanity. And as police suspicion falls to him, he doesn’t know who he can trust.
Least of all himself.

A dark and totally gripping page-turner of a psychological thriller that delivers a killer twist

About Featured Book: Shadebringer: Book One: The Land of Irgendwo by Grayson W Hooper

In the beginning, there was only Daedrina, and she dwelled in darkness.

Clyde Robbins joins the US Army in 1969 to find purpose in life but quickly learns that in war, life is one’s only purpose. But Clyde dies like countless others before him in a rain of fire and lead, and when he thinks it’s all over—and the curtain draws shut on his final act—he awakens in the strange land of Irgendwo. He quickly meets a gruff German Luftwaffe pilot from the Second World War and a pudgy British doughboy from the First. Together, they take Clyde into the heart of an ancient city ruled by a shadowy cult to settle him into his rigorous new existence. But the cult’s sages discover Clyde is a Shadebringer, a prophesied warrior capable of challenging their power, and the ensuing struggles bring Clyde to the realization that his afterlife is just another war . . . one he cannot lose.

In this thrilling first volume of the Shadebringer series, author Grayson W. Hooper introduces a vivid world of Cronenberg monstrosities, magic, soul-eating children, and the reanimated dead. The Land of Irgendwo is a fast-paced adventure flecked with savage humor, emotion, and true purpose: friends worth fighting for.

About Featured Book: A Hundred Silent Ways: A Novel by Mari Jojie

How do you trust and let yourself be comforted by the idea that the sun and the moon give out equal brilliance?

On the brink of a crumbling marriage, Kate Pineda-McDowell runs away from the only life she has ever known—straight into the heart of the Philippines where her estranged father lives. As she waits for her connecting flight from Tokyo to Manila, she meets Liam Walker, whose disquieting stares express deeper things than his reluctant words. Unbeknownst to both, their chance meeting circles back to a closely linked past that holds little hope for new beginnings.

Shortly after arriving in Manila, Kate finds herself drawn to seek out Liam. In a span of a few magical days, what began as a spark ignites into an electric affair that compels Liam to let someone into his silent world while Kate confronts her heartbreaking sorrows. But falling for each other means opening old wounds and revealing their most intimate yearnings.

Emotionally gripping and endearingly hopeful, A Hundred Silent Ways examines the many different paths people take to obtain a second chance at happiness while asking the most heartrending question of all: How much are we willing to endure to keep love alive?
