~~~AUTHOR INTERVIEW #2~~~
Geri: What type of books do you enjoy reading?
Paul: I enjoy a wide range of books. I try to mix enjoyment with education, so I
read things such as science fiction, along with American Literature
all through the week.
Geri: Should one judge a book by its cover?
Paul: Probably not, there are many books out there that are well written
that are yet to be discovered, so I try to give different kinds of books
a chance. I am often pleasantly surprised.
Geri: Which genre do you think makes the best movies?
Paul: I like science fiction, but I also like comedy, so I often look for that mix.
Any genre that is well done in movie form can be great to watch, but
as always, movies never touch the quality of their book versions.
Geri: Do you plan on writing a book every year?
Paul: I write a weekly national newspaper column, along with my radio and
television work. There is just enough time to do one book a year. It is a
very workable situation to write one book a year, and it is my plan as of
now.
Geri: Do you have a special comfort zone while writing?
Paul: I cannot have distractions, and just about anything will divert my
attention, so I find a quiet place to do all my writing. I am in the quiet
place about three-to-five hours a day.
Geri: Thank you kindly for your time. I wish you much success in your journey
of writing.
Paul: You're welcome.

~~~AUTHOR INTERVIEW~~~~
Geri: What inspires you the most to write?
AC Katt: Different things. I wrote my first book, THE SARRAN PLAGUE, because I wanted
to read science fiction, with a triad. My second book came from a phrase. Someone
asked me for a different idea on a book about a bear(gay lexicon for a hirsute
dominant gay men usually portrayed as a motorcycle or outdoorsy type). I came up
with the phrase 'Bear In Suit, casting the 'bear' as a gay, very well-to-do real
estate executive who wears Savile Row suits with Lobb shoes. He is a dominant,
but not your typical 'bear.' He appears as Donald K. Drummond in "A MATTER OF
TRUST." SHATTERED GLASS came from two different sources, a painting of a
young Syd Barrett from Pink Floyd, combined with the Bon Jovi song, 'Make A
Memory.' The lyrics of the song, plus the portrait of a young, troubled musician led
to the story of Liam and Milo.
Geri: Who is your favorite author?
AC Katt: I love Robin D. Owens, and Mercedes Lackey. In my own genre:Jade Buchanan,
Mychael Black, Chris Owen, Jody Payne, Alley Blue, and J.M. Snyder write
great tales.
Geri: Did you enjoy reading as a child?
AC Katt: I devoured books whole as a child. I can still read one book a day, if I have the time.
Geri: If you were to write in a different genre, what would it be?
AC Katt: I'll always write some kind of romance. But I have been exploring different sub-
genres within the category.
Geri: Do you have current work in progress?
AC Katt: I just finished a re-write on "THE SARRAN PLAGUE" for re-release by
Captiva Press. I'm currently working on a sequel to :THE SARRAN PLAGUE"
tentatively titled 'Living With Syn.'
Geri: Thank you kindly for your time. I wish you much success!
AC Katt: You're welcome.

easily distracted. Hopefully, while I'm writing, my mind has been transported
to a much more exciting setting.

~~~AUTHOR INTERVIEW #3~~~
Geri: How many book have you written, and what are the titles?
Deanie: I have three books published. The titles are: TAILS OF SWEETBRIER, CHARLIE
THE HORSE, and CHARLENE THE STAR.
Geri: What kind of books do you like to read?
Deanie: My favorites are biographies, or autobiographies. I truly enjoy learning about the life
experiences, challenges, and joys of people. It's fun to learn about their philosophies,
as well. In addition, I enjoy children's books that are comical, like GEORGE AND
MARTHA, and the AMELIA BEDELIA series.
Geri: Do you think blogging helps promotions?
Deanie: Yes! I think it's important to give my books as much exposure as possible. Blogging
introduces my books to many people, who may not otherwise have heard of them.
Geri: Should you judge a book by its cover?
Deanie: Perhaps not entirely, but I do think the cover must entice the reader. It should be
colorful, to attract attention and curiosity. After you've seen the cover, you might be
interested in checking out the summary on the back to help you make a final decision.
If the cover seems boring, you probably won't investigate any further.
Geri: What are your plans for the future?
Deanie: I would like to keep writing to inspire children to do their best. I think it's most
important for them to know that they are all special and unique, with different
talents.
Geri: I wish you very much success in your writing journey.
Deanie: Thank you very much for taking the time to interview me. I certainly appreciate it.
Geri: You are quite welcome.

~~~AUTHOR INTERVIEW~~~
Geri: What inspires you the most to write?
Stacy: To be honest, it just makes me happy. I enjoy how I feel when I write, and it's part of
me. I think it was my purpose, and what I was supposed to do.
Geri: Who is your favorite author?
Stacy: Too many to name, but I favor the classics: Oscar Wilde, Edgar Allan Poe, Robert
Louis Stevenson, Charles Dickens. The list goes on-and-on, but these are some of my
favorites.
Geri: If you were to write in a different genre, what would it be?
Stacy: Really, I haven't thought about it. I write crimes and mysteries, along with interracial
romance, because these are my favorite genres. I guess I'd try something like
historical fiction. I also like historical romances.
Geri: Do you have current work in progress?
Stacy: I have a lot in the works. My next novel, "GIVING UP THE GHOST" comes out in
2011. It's my fourth release, and first installment of my mystery-crime series. I've
already finished three other books in the series. Besides that, I've finished three
other unrelated novels, so I've been doing a lot.
Geri: Thank you kindly for your time. I wish you much success in your journey of writing.
Stacy: You're welcome.

~~~AUTHOR INTERVIEW #5~~~
Geri: In your opinion, which genre makes the best movies?
MJ: Fantasy, of course! I love how the author can go totally out in left field with their
imagination with fantasy, and there is no right or wrong. 'Avatar' was great for that,
I think.
Geri: Did you enjoy reading as a child?
MJ: I did! I'm the youngest of four children, and my brothers are all much older than me, so
I spent a lot of my childhood by myself. When I complained to my mom that I was bored,
she would always say, "Read a book!"
Geri: Did a special person in your life inspire you to write?
MJ: My friend Kate was the first to believe in me. She said, "You should think about writing
a book." I decided to follow her advice. One book has turned into a series. I had no
idea of what I was getting into!
Geri: Do you have a special comfort zone when writing?
MJ: When I write, I really like having either complete silence, or the background sounds of
Italian pianist Ludovico Einaudi playing somewhere. His music is very soothing to me,
and helps me get into the 'zone' that I need to fully concentrate, and envelope myself
into my imagination.
Geri: What are your goals for your future in your writing journey?
MJ: My main goal right now is to encourage young adults to keep reading. The written word
can take us to so many new, unexpected places. There's nothing better than a good
story to take us away for a day, week, or year. I also look forward to quitting my 'day
job' and writing full time. I love visiting schools, and plan on doing that as often as I can.
I also look forward to doing a book tour, as well as various vendor events, where I can
sell my books. I love encouraging other writers, whether they are school-aged or retired,
or everything in between, to believe in themselves and to not be afraid to follow their
dreams!
Geri: Thank you kindly for your time. I wish you much success in your journey of writing.
MJ: You're welcome.
