Author Interview – L.L. Gray
This month I caught up with urban fantasy author L.L. Grey whose Smoke and Shadows series also features a chicken called Cluck Norris (great minds…!). So, tell us a bit about yourself. Hi! I’m L.L. Gray. I like singing opera in the shower, drawing badly, and am on a perpetual quest to find a truly fantastic cup of coffee. I don’t care how many cups I have to sample! I will find that elusive mug filled with the elixir of happiness!!! Oh, and in my free time, I write fantasy books. Currently, I’ve finished four books and a novella in my urban fantasy series, the Smoke and Shadows Series and…

Author Interview – C.N. Rowan
This month I caught up with debut urban fantasy author C.N. Rowan to chat about his books, France and his love of history. I know you from an author group we’re both part of, but for anyone who doesn’t know you, tell us a bit about yourself I’d love to, but then I’d have to kill you. IN MY BOOK. By making you a character in my book. Then killing you horribly. [GC: backs away slowly] I’m a lovely, sociable person other than that, though. Please stop backing away. Due to having somehow won the favour of Lady Luck, though only she knows how (and secretly I suspect it might…

Author Interview – Jessica Jayne Webb
You know I love hearing from other authors, here’s an interview I did with fantasy author Jessica Jayne Webb. Tell us about yourself. Well I am a mum first and foremost to two beautiful incredibly busy, high functioning boys, something that Will. I. Am. once said that has stuck in my mind for my boys is that, my boys do not have a form of disability but are the next stage in the evolutionary chain. I truly believe this! Sorry, I am a proud mum, and when I get asked to talk about myself I vicariously live through them. Now me I guess, well trying to get onto me. Atm…

Author Interview – Linda Ling
This month, I caught up with fantasy author Linda Ling. Linda, tell us a bit about yourself and how you became a writer. I’ve always been a writer. As far back as I can remember. As a kid, whenever we traveled, my dad would make me write a “post-vacation report” for him to read (I should ask him about that someday). But my first story was written when I was 14. My first poem when I was 15 or 16. I wrote three or four complete books by the time I was 22 or 23. But life happened and I took a pause. A very long pause. I locked up…

Author Interview – Andrew Claydon
This month, I caught up with fellow Brit fantasy author Andrew Claydon to chat about how he started writing and favourite authors. His latest book, Strange Companions, is out on 5 December and if you like reluctant heroes, irreverant fantasy references and chickens, I recommend you check it out. So, Andrew, tell us about yourself. That’s a toughie, because I can come up with all kinds of stories and characters, but ask me to talk about myself and I draw a blank. I suppose the first thing to know about me is that I’m a guy living his best life being an author. I’ve always thought I had one book…

Author Interview – Winnie Winkle
This month, I caught up with author Winnie Winkle to talk about the inspiration for her books and chat about her series. Winnie, tell us a bit about yourself. First and foremost, I’m a water baby. Which, as a Pisces living on a boat in Florida, helps. I grew up in the US MidWest on and around lakes, but once I moved to Florida thirty some years ago, I knew the sea was my element. In my tiny condo in Daytona Beach Shores, I’m a horizon junkie, in love with the thin line between now and next. On the boat, we’re anchored seven miles inland from the Gulf of Mexico…

Author Interview – Heather G Harris
So, Heather, I know you from a UK writers group we’re part of, but for those who don’t know you, tell us about yourself. I am a thirty something mum getting a second chance at life. I was a lawyer. That was great, it helped people but… it was super stressful. And my bosses wouldn’t let me work flexible hours or pick up my kids from school, which sucked. Writing became my retreat during the pandemic. I hit publish and a year later I’m incredibly lucky that it is now my actual job. It’s a weird job, you basically invite people to have a snoop around in your mind. So…

Author Interview – KJ Baker
This month, I caught up with paranormal romance author KJ Baker about her books: So, KJ Baker, tell me about yourself Witty? Charming? Seriously? Okay, since I’m a writer I suppose I should talk about writing? OK OK, how did you become a writer? I don’t ever remember making a conscious decision to become a writer. It’s just something I’ve always done, as though it’s written into my DNA. I wrote my first book when I was six years old – complete with home-made cover made from a cereal box. It was called The Golden Pheasant and was awesome! (at least in the mind of a six year old girl).…
