Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a Dominican-American author with a deep passion for storytelling, history, and mystery. My writing is heavily influenced by my family’s legacy, personal experiences, and a fascination with uncovering hidden truths. I believe that stories have the power to connect us to our past, challenge our perspectives, and shape our understanding of who we are.

Shadows Beneath the Shore is my debut novel, but I have been writing for years—crafting stories, exploring historical narratives, and developing characters that bring emotion and authenticity to the page. This book is just the beginning of a long journey in storytelling, and I’m excited for what’s to come.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is Shadows Beneath the Shore, a historical mystery novel inspired by real-life events, family history, and the hidden struggles of generations before me.

The story came from a mix of my personal experiences, the political and economic history of the Dominican Republic, and a desire to explore the weight of family secrets. Growing up, I heard stories about the challenges my grandparents and parents faced, especially regarding land, identity, and power structures. I started researching the history of mining, exile, and the dictatorship of Trujillo, and soon I realized there was an untold story waiting to be written.

I wanted to bring these elements together into a gripping, emotional, and suspenseful novel that would make readers question the past, explore their own histories, and immerse themselves in a journey of discovery and truth.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I wouldn’t call them unusual, but I definitely have some rituals that help me get into the flow of writing:

I create a “soundtrack” for each book – I carefully curate playlists that match the emotions and themes of the story. For Shadows Beneath the Shore, I listened to a mix of classical suspense scores, Dominican music (Merengue, Bachata), and 80s jazz from New York.

I handwrite important scenes first – Sometimes, typing feels too mechanical, so I jot down key emotional moments in a notebook before transferring them into a digital draft.

I visualize scenes like a movie – Before I write a chapter, I close my eyes and play it out like a film in my head, thinking about camera angles, lighting, and even pacing. This helps me create immersive descriptions.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
I’ve been influenced by a mix of historical fiction, magical realism, and character-driven novels that explore deep themes of legacy, identity, and the weight of history. Some of the books and authors that have shaped my storytelling include:

Gabriel García Márquez (Cien años de soledad)
Miguel de Cervantes (Don Quijote de la Mancha)
Julia Álvarez (In the Time of the Butterflies)
Goat)

Each of these authors has contributed to how I tell stories—blending history, mystery, and emotion to create narratives that feel immersive, meaningful, and unforgettable.

What are you working on now?
I am currently working on my next novel, which will continue exploring themes of family legacy, historical intrigue, and buried secrets—but with a new setting and a fresh mystery.

I’m also expanding my reach as an author, working on articles for Substack, engaging with book clubs, and preparing for author events and podcasts to discuss Shadows Beneath the Shore and the historical themes behind it.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
For me, Goodreads and Instagram have been the most effective platforms. Here’s how I use them:

Goodreads: I interact with historical fiction and mystery book clubs, run giveaways, and engage with readers who are passionate about uncovering hidden stories.

Instagram: I share behind-the-scenes content, host Q&A sessions, and post aesthetic visuals related to my book’s themes.

TikTok (BookTok): I connect with readers through short-form videos exploring the historical research behind my book, character inspirations, and storytelling techniques.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Write the story only YOU can tell. Authenticity is what makes a book unforgettable.

Don’t wait for inspiration—build discipline. Writing is a craft that improves with consistency.

Engage with your readers. Readers want more than just a book; they want a connection to the author and the story behind it.

Be patient with the process. Publishing—whether traditional or indie—takes time. Believe in your work, and the right audience will find you.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
“Write with honesty, edit with precision, and market with confidence.”

This advice reminds me that storytelling is about truth, but execution is about craft. It also reinforces that writing a book is only half the journey—the real magic happens when readers connect with it.

What are you reading now?
Currently, I’m reading:

The Night Watchman by Louise Erdrich – A beautifully written historical novel based on real events.

The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafón – A masterful blend of mystery, historical intrigue, and atmospheric storytelling.

The Nickel Boys by Colson Whitehead – A gripping and thought-provoking novel that explores buried truths from history.

What’s next for you as a writer?
I’m working on a new novel, expanding my reach with interviews, podcast appearances, and book clubs, and continuing to build a community of readers who love historical mysteries.

My goal is to keep writing stories that are thrilling, meaningful, and rooted in history, and to connect with readers who appreciate depth, suspense, and untold narratives.

What is your favorite book of all time?
Without a doubt, my favorite book of all time is Cien años de soledad (One Hundred Years of Solitude) by Gabriel García Márquez.

This novel is a masterpiece of storytelling, history, and magical realism, weaving together generations of the Buendía family in the mythical town of Macondo. What makes it so special to me is the way it captures the passage of time, the weight of family legacy, and the inevitable repetition of history. Every time I read it, I discover something new—an overlooked detail, a deeper meaning behind the characters’ fates, or a connection to real-world historical events.

I have a background in German Literature, Political Science, and History. Today, I live and work in Berlin, where I share my life with my wife and our two children.
I have written a sci-fi novel. It was published in German (DER SONNENSTURM) and English (THE SUPERFLARE).

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is THE SUPERFLARE. I have always loved reading and storytelling, whether captivating an audience or weaving tales for my sons. Eventually, this passion led me to embark on a journey I had long envisioned: writing a novel. The topic had been simmering in my mind for years—the consequences of AI’s triumph and its profound impact on humanity.

How would the rise of AI and a fully digital world reshape us as individuals? Would it alter our humanity? And what if a sudden catastrophe wiped out all digital tools in one devastating moment? What would remain of us as human beings if we were thrust back into a “digital Stone Age”, left to rely solely on ourselves?
These questions drove the creation of my science fiction novel, THE SUPERFLARE. It’s a story born from my fascination with the intersection of technology, human nature, and the fragility of the digital age.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
That’s a question best answered by my family—they’d likely have the most entertaining insights!

What authors, or books have influenced you?
The fear of machines, robots, and artificial intelligence has been as old as humanity’s longing to simplify their lives, enhance their capabilities, or even – as “homo deus” – create a new life form: Artificial Intelligence. Professor Yuval Noah Harari describes this process and its potential consequences in his book “Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow.” His concern is that artificial intelligence might not make humans all-powerful but rather render them obsolete. When I began writing THE SUPERFLARE several years ago, these thoughts were on my mind as I developed the character of TRON, an artificial super-intelligence that plays a central role in my novel.

What are you working on now?
At the moment I am working on several projects. But it would be too early to talk about any of them.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I’m afraid there is no best method or website, it is a permanent process of trial and error. Only the future will tell what method really worked out.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Let me quote Stephen King: “If you want to be a writer, you must do two things above all others: read a lot and write a lot.“ And: “When you write a story, you’re telling yourself the story,” he said. “When you rewrite, your main job is taking out all the things that are not the story.”

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
This one by Stephen King: “If you want to be a writer, you must do two things above all others: read a lot and write a lot.“ And: “When you write a story, you’re telling yourself the story,” he said. “When you rewrite, your main job is taking out all the things that are not the story.”

What are you reading now?
I am reading some books about the historical background I might need for my next project.

What’s next for you as a writer?
Continue writing.

What is your favorite book of all time?
That’s hard to say. Perhaps you have a different favorite book at every stage of your life. And many books have made a strong impression on me. Perhaps one stands out: “One Hundred Years of Solitude” by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

Through Tammy’s many life experiences, she has become a strong and courageous woman who wholly believes we can do all things through G-d who gives us strength.
Stories of Good Grief is Tammy’s third published book; a compilation of 20 people’s stories of grief and how they are working through it. In this book Tammy shares her experience of her six-month-old daughter’s death. Tammy describes the ten stages of grief and explains the stages may come in waves, one after another. She explains people may experience more than one stage at a time and the stages may come multiple times.
Tammy enjoys speaking opportunities where she can share her story, encourage people to keep going and never give up.
Tammy is blessed to live in picturesque Nackawic, New Brunswick, home of the world’s largest axe, with her husband and soulmate Keith Robinson. She has four grown children, a grand-daughter and a great-grandson whom she adores.
Tammy’s business, TLR Publishing, has expanded to include brainstorming, coaching, editing and publishing other authors’ works. This currently includes books for children, a young adults’ novel, journals and a memoir.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
NAMELESS Trilogy is a collection of 3 books about 3 women in the New Testament of the Bible who put action with their faith, courage and forgiveness.
This trilogy was inspired by the fact that many of us read the Bible and miss out on the power of the stories because we don’t know details about the culture and time.
I’ve researched the culture of the first century and brought to life the stories of the woman who had been bleeding for 12 years, the Samaritan woman who met Yeshua (Jesus) at the well, and the woman who was brought to Yeshua because she was caught in adultery.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
Brock and Bodie Thoene have influenced me because their books brought history to life for me.

What are you working on now?
I am collecting stories for the second volume of Stories of Good Grief. The first volume is a collection of 20 people’s stories of grief and how they are managing their grief. Grief never leaves us; it simply changes over time.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Write every day. Write at least 500 words a day. If you miss more than one day you fall out of the groove. To write every day you will stay in the space you need to be in to write creatively.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
“Never go to bed angry.”
Although this was in reference to being married, putting this practice in place helps me have a peaceful sleep and wake the next morning with a joy and gratefulness for the day ahead.

What are you reading now?
A book by Grace Fox; Names of G-d, Living Unafraid.

What’s next for you as a writer?
I will be interviewed on Legacy Makers, of YES TV on February 14th.

I only recently began publishing. After I retired a few years ago, I began crafting. However, last year I finally had to admit that I no longer has the fine motor control necessary to craft. However, I could still use a computer and a mouse. Eventually, I discovered KDP and self publishing, and in June 2024 I published my first adult coloring book. Since then I’ve published over 125 books: adult coloring, word search, journals, scrapbook patterns books, as well as about five non-fiction and two fiction novels. I’m currently working on the 3rd book in the fiction triology.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The Ark, the second book in the Days of Noah trilogy it was inspired by a dream I had many years ago (maybe 40 years), where I woke up one morning and everyone had disappeared, including my police officer husband. That dream combined with imagination and my understanding of Biblical prophecy, and a couple of decades as a prepper, led to The Gathering.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I do it when I feel like it, so I don’t think there’s anything unusual about that.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
I’ve been an avid reader since I was a pre-teen. To narrow influence down to one particular author would be difficult. I can tell you that I went through a phase where I read all the Louis L’Amour books. Then about a decade or so ago, I read everything I could by Jerry D. Young. Both of those authors wrote engaging stories with a hint of romance. That is what I’ve tried to do.

What are you working on now?
Currently I’m working on the third book in the Days of Noah Triology. I’m struggling to focus, as I seem to be spending more time promoting the first two books, as well as moderating a couple of Facebook author groups, than writing. I’ve given myself until the 1st of March (my birthday) to get the 3rd book published. Then I have a totally new book that I’m super excited about, but I refuse to start it until the last one is done.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Facebook has been it, pretty much. Being on a limited income, I don’t have the funds to pay for promotion, and being retired, and having working in the tech (website building, graphic design, video creation) world, I can do pretty much everything all by myself

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Just start. You won’t know if you can do it, until you try. I used to write stories when I was in high school and dreamed of being a writer. Why didn’t I do it years ago? Life. Don’t let life rob you of your dreams.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Just do it.

What are you reading now?
Some paranormal fantasy on Kindle. I usually read a book a day, but I’ve been so caught up in promoting my current books, that I’ve not taken the time to read in a couple of days. I need to get back to it, because I think reading really does help the creative juices.

What’s next for you as a writer?
I’ve got a couple more Christian Romance books in mind, but I’m not gonna tell you! Haha!

What is your favorite book of all time?
The Bible, after that, I’ve read too many to have a favorite. A few I’ve re-read, books like Emergence, Down to a Sunless Sea, and Alas Babylon, as well as all the Louis L’Amour books.

I am a journalist and producer specializing in East Europe – because I am from East Europe and I speak several languages of this region. I wrote five books, which were recently published.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The title of the last book is “Love in Communism. A Young Woman’s Adult Story”. The eBook was published just a few days ago, on January 27, 2025.
Inspiration was my husband. He is a Dutchman, knew little about the Soviet Union, and asked me to tell more about the hidden sides of the communist paradise. So, I did it in the book.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Nothing special: I like a quiet environment, without background noise and music. And without interruptions.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
I can not even tell all of them. It is a life process I read many books. Each one left a curve in my brain. Would be unfair to mention just a few of them, and the rest not. Unfair to the authors who worked hard to create the books, and also unfair to myself because today I think this is the book that changed me, but tomorrow I shall recall another wonderful book.

What are you working on now?
I am busy with two projects from the series “Cooking and Politics”. The first book was already published: “Russian Colonial Food. Journey through the dissolved Communist Empire”.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Keep working, don’t get discouraged. The road can be bumpy but don’t give up.

Now I read a lot of diaries, old newspapers, history books, posters and so on. Everything that crosses my eyes. All in connection with my new two projects for the series “Cooking and Politics”.

I have always loved reading and storytelling, whether captivating an audience or weaving tales for my sons. Eventually, this passion led me to embark on a journey I had long envisioned: writing a novel. The topic had been simmering in my mind for years—the consequences of AI’s triumph and its profound impact on humanity.

How would the rise of AI and a fully digital world reshape us as individuals? Would it alter our humanity? And what if a sudden catastrophe wiped out all digital tools in one devastating moment? What would remain of us as human beings if we were thrust back into a “digital Stone Age”, left to rely solely on ourselves?

These questions drove the creation of my science fiction novel, THE SUPERFLARE. It’s a story born from my fascination with the intersection of technology, human nature, and the fragility of the digital age.

A bit about me: I have a background in German Literature, Political Science, and History. Today, I live and work in Berlin, where I share my life with my wife and our two children.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
THE SUPERFLARE is my latest book, published also in German as DER SONNENSTURM. The initial idea was to consider what would actually happen if all digital devices stopped working overnight. We are becoming more and more dependent on AI and countless digital helpers – smartphones, navigation devices, laptops, iPads, tablets, smart TVs, smartwatches, Alexa, Siri, Cortana, smart homes, Google, the Internet, etc. But what if all those helpers suddenly stopped working? A worldwide EMP, triggered by a gigantic solar storm, could do the trick. Based on this idea, I started to design possible scenarios that branched out and condensed more and more during the writing process.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
That’s a question best answered by my family—they’d likely have the most entertaining insights!

What authors, or books have influenced you?
The fear of machines, robots, and artificial intelligence has been as old as humanity’s longing to simplify their lives, enhance their capabilities, or even – as “homo deus” – create a new life form: Artificial Intelligence. Professor Yuval Noah Harari describes this process and its potential consequences in his book “Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow.” His concern is that artificial intelligence might not make humans all-powerful but rather render them obsolete. When I began writing THE SUPERFLARE several years ago, these thoughts were on my mind as I developed the character of TRON, an artificial super-intelligence that plays a central role in my novel.

What are you working on now?
I’m working on several projects, but it would be too early to talk about any of them right now.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I’m afraid there is no best method or website, it is a permanent process of trial and error. Only the future will tell what method really worked out.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Let me quote Stephen King: “If you want to be a writer, you must do two things above all others: read a lot and write a lot.“ And: “When you write a story, you’re telling yourself the story,” he said. “When you rewrite, your main job is taking out all the things that are not the story.”

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
This one by Stephen King: “If you want to be a writer, you must do two things above all others: read a lot and write a lot.“ And: “When you write a story, you’re telling yourself the story,” he said. “When you rewrite, your main job is taking out all the things that are not the story.”

What are you reading now?
I am reading some books about the historical background I might need for my next project.

What’s next for you as a writer?
Continue writing.

What is your favorite book of all time?
“One Hundred Years of Solitude” by Colombian author Gabriel García Márquez

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
It’s Not Burnout; It’s Betrayal: 5 Tools to FUEL UP & Thrive is my latest book. It was inspired by my journey through infidelity and betrayal.

That journey helped me to see how often betrayal crops up in everyday life, and how ill-equipped we are to identify or deal with it effectively.

My goal was to shed light on betrayal and its impact as well as offer tools to mitigate and manage both burnout and betrayal.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I love to write late into the night with a cat or two by my side!

What authors, or books have influenced you?
As an avid reader, there are too many to count! I love Barbara Kingsolver, Liz Gilbert, Amy Tan, Ken Follet, Emmit Fox, and Neale Donald Walsch.

What are you working on now?
I’m working on relaxing, coaching, and enjoying myself. This year I want to step away from the grind and focus on wellness, health, and play.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
For me using websites to promote my book is just the beginning! Websites connect me with readers, but then it’s up to me to build connection, inspire conversation, and continue to add value. That’s where the majority of the book sales happen–when readers refer my book to other readers.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Don’t let perfection get in the way! You do not have to be perfect; you simply have to make progress. You can edit later, or you can even scrap what you wrote and start again. What matters most is writing.

I think by writing, and often my first few drafts are meaningless. But it’s in those first few drafts that my ideas come to life, so when I start writing, I am more centered, clearer, and can move more quickly.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Nothing anybody says or does is about you.

What are you reading now?
I always read multiple books at a time. I’m reading A Cours in Miracles, Let Them, The Sophia Code, 10X is Easier than 2X, Man’s Search for Meaning, and A Well-Trained Wife.

What’s next for you as a writer?
My next book is a book about my own infidelity journey. I’m not ready to start, however! I’m thinking that 2027 will be the best timing for that book.

What is your favorite book of all time?
I really don’t have an all-time favorite. That said, I think I’ve re-read Gone With the Wind more than any other book. Despite its issues, there’s just something magical about that book.

I am retired from the Veterans Administration after 40 years in a psychiatric hospital. My first 20 years were in neuropsychiatry the send in substance abuse.

I began serving Temple Beth Torah part time in September of 1998. Born in Boston, Massachusetts and ordained at the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, he is a member of the Central Conference of American Rabbis, Previously Rabbi Block served the Harford Jewish Center in Havre de Grace, MD, was an addiction Chaplain for the VAMHCS, an Adjunct Assistant Professor at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, and Chaplain for the Bel Air Volunteer Fire Company.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
“How to be Jewish in 30 Seconds”
My YouTube channel and podcast is called “The Rabbi and I”, just me and my buddy, Joe Sutliff, who is a cartoonist, talking about all things Jewish and life and philosophy and history and politics, all with my characteristic wit and, quite frankly, genius.

My daughter Jennifer E. Block Anyway, decided to give this old guy a taste of his own medicine finally: “Daddy, why don’t you write a book?” She asked.
“Me? You’re the writer. I’m the rabbi. What would I write?” I replied.
“Ah. That is the wrong question you ask,” she said.
“Are you rabbi-ing me or Yoda-ing me?” I asked.
“Both, I am doing,” she said. “You have already written or spoken so many words. Mine your own work. I imagine a book you already have.”

I took her suggestion look at my videos and transcribe them and see what I had. And what I had was not only a book. What I had was the culmination, the epitome of who I am is and what I truly believe I was put on this planet to teach: Don’t be afraid to come up to bat. You can’t hit if you don’t swing. Bat like no one’s watching. And, if you miss, do it again.
(“Do or do not. There is no try.” — Yoda)

The same is true for Judaism. So many people — too many people — are afraid they aren’t “doing enough” or that they aren’t “doing it right.”
I might be the first to tell you that neither is the issue. All you have to do is, well, do.

That’s what his new book, How to be Jewish in 30 Seconds, is all about. To be Jewish you just “do.” Each chapter is a thing you can do. Jews are born. Jews are made. Jews share beliefs and practices. And Jews don’t judge others about their Jewishness.
It’s about desire and intention not perfection!

What authors, or books have influenced you?
“Naked Buddhism”
The sacred literature of many different religions.

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m R.A. Monday, a genre-bending author who was born into humble beginnings, the daughter of immigrant parents who made their way to the U.S. in 1960. My mother cared for the children while my father, a farm laborer, worked the farm fields in New Mexico. Toys were very few, if any at all, and books were made available through our elementary school’s library, so it is little wonder that I spent my early years reading and imagining exciting stories of good vs. evil and faraway lands. I vividly remember listening to the great stories told by my much beloved mother. Ever since my earliest days, I loved to read and write. I would read everything I could get my hands on, from the classics to the most involved piece of literature. When I wasn’t reading, I’d be doing chores around the house or riding horses. I grew up on a working farm with many animals. During the summer months, I would work alongside my mother and older sibling picking onions in the farm’s onion fields to help provide for our school supplies and clothing.

My life has been everything but dull. It’s been a life filled with life and death experiences, personal danger; from surviving sibling abuse, to being held at gun point, then at knife point and most recently, surviving Stage 4 Metastatic Breast Cancer. I’m a firm believer, in “what doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger.” I believe my life is a testament to that. I am strongly rooted in my faith; a faith that has led and carried me through many a storm in my life. I comes from a long line of strong, god-fearing women. Story telling is ingrained in my colorful heritage; a heritage steeped in Spanish folklore, traditions, and rich in culture. I am Hispanic and Lipan Apache. I honor both my Hispanic and Native American heritage and have been referred to as a “Shadow Walker”, meaning one who walks between two worlds.

On my father’s side of the family, I am a descendant of the Founder of the Chimayo Sanctuary in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Fr Bernardo de la Encarnacion Abeyta. On my mother’s side of the family I am the grand-daughter of a child survivor of the 1873 Attack on Remolino, Coahuila, Mexico. This unauthorized attack on Remolino became more widely known as McKenzie’s Raid. My maternal grandfather was a part of Juan Castro’s Lipan Apache N’de that never regrouped and assimilated into the Mexican population. My grandfather died in 1929 in a small town in Mexico.

I’m a seven- time published Author & Book Illustrator, a former Writer/Interviewer for Native Hoop Magazine and WNC Magazine, a Wearable Art Clothing Designer for Legaleriste.com, a Fashion Design Company based out of Montreal, Canada, and a Visual Artist in my hometown of El Paso, TX.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is titled, “Paradise Quilt” inspired by true events in my life and my parents legacy of sacrifices made and our journey into a new country. It’s my autobiography written in short story-form.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I’m restless by nature and tend to move around quite a bit, so I have “writing niches” as opposed to having a room designated as. an office. I can write with or without noise while multitasking on my Art Designs or other projects.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
When I first began writing, I wrote poetry. So I was influenced by some of the greats, like Edgar Allan Poe, Maya Angelou, Robert Frost, etc. Some of my poetry is featured in Poetry Anthologies, here in the USA and in the UK. Then I was challenged to write a full length book and it was then that I began writing Novels, Children’s Fairy Tales, Historical Paranormal, etc. I was influenced by numerous Children’s Books and Non-Fiction Historical Accounts.

What are you working on now?
I am currently assisting a soon-to-be-first-time Author with their literary project, but I hope to soon engage in my own writing project that’s been a long time in the making. It will be about my grandfather’s journey

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Amazon and word-of-mouth.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Writing is not for the faint of heart, but the journey to achieving your goals is priceless. Persistence and Perseverance are key. Patience is also a plus.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
With God all things are possible. Stay Fearless when facing adversity. There is nothing you cannot do as long as you have faith, believe in yourself even if no one else does, and always be grateful for what you do have.

What are you reading now?
Like Water for Chocolate by Laura Esquivel

What’s next for you as a writer?
There are still several stories inside of me, so more novels are on the horizon.

What is your favorite book of all time?
It may sound strange, but Heidi will always be my favorite book.

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a water aerobics enthusiast, amateur jewelry maker, struggling bridge player, and devoted grandmother in addition to writing stories. I grew up in Kentucky, went to college at the University of Georgia where I had way too much fun, and graduated from the University of Kentucky. After college, I worked for the Associated Press then became a reporter for “The Hartford Courant” in Connecticut. My two daughters were born there. My newspaperman husband got a job in Memphis and we moved there. I became a freelance speechwriter, publicist, and marketing person for major companies in town, but my favorite gigs were with the Memphis City Schools and the Memphis Symphony Orchestra. I retired and began doing what I’d always wanted to do: write fiction. I wrote short stories that appeared in such anthologies as “Now There Was a Story”, “Low Down Dirty Vote II and III”, “Mayhem in Memphis,” and “Mystery, Crime, and Mayhem”. Since I liked short stories, I tried my hand at a longer form and wrote a novella of love and murder, “The Yellow Fever Revenge.” What I really wanted to write a novel, and so was born the civil rights era suspense/thriller series, Sterling Brothers Ltd. So far the series includes “Justice Tomorrow,” “The Price of a Future,” and coming soon, “Wigs, Mustaches, and Other Disguises”. I am the immediate president of Malice in Memphis a Killer Writing Group.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
“The Price of a Future” is the second in the Sterling Brothers Ltd series of stories featuring civil rights investigators Madeline Sterling and Socrates Gray.
The series was inspired by a newspaper article I read years ago about an organization that sent a Black couple and a white couple with very similar qualifications to buy a house. The organization exposed housing discrimination in several cities. I thought: what if a white investigator and a Black investigator were sent undercover to gather evidence against those who killed civil rights workers? The characters evolved from there: who would do such work? It had to be someone wounded by discrimination, adventuresome, daring, passionate, idealistic, and strong. Thus Madeline Sterling, a white Bostonian, and Socates Gray, a Black Southerner educated at Yale, were born.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I hate housework, but when I have writer’s block I clean up a storm. The work usually drives me back to whatever story I’m stuck on.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
Harper Lee, Zora Neale Hurston, SA Cosby, and JD Robb (Nora Roberts)
I love all their books. I stumbled on “Their Eyes Were Watching God” when my granddaughter asked me for help with an essay on the book. What a treasure.

What are you working on now?
I need to finish “Wigs, Disguises, and Other Disguises” for the Sterling Brothers Ltd. series then polish some short stories I’ve had in my files.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I use Amazon a lot and I do as many book signings as I can.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Don’t be afraid to ask for help from more seasoned writers. Get in a local writer’s group–the advice you get there will be invaluable.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Give your villain a dog. The late best-selling author Carolyn McSparren once told me that all villains had to have something good about them–if nothing else give them a dog.

What are you reading now?
“Southern Man” by Greg Iles

What’s next for you as a writer?
I need to finish polishing the next historical suspense book in the Sterling Brothers Ltd series “Wigs, Mustaches, and Other Disguises”
