Nicola May interview

AUTHOR INTERVIEW


A little introduction:

Hi I'm Nicola May, number one bestselling UK author of the Cockleberry Bay and Ferry Lane Market romantic comedy novels.


When did your love of books begin?

My love of books began when I was very young when I devoured everything by Enid Blyton.


When did you start to have the wish to become an author & how have you found the process for becoming an author?

I didn't start writing until my thirties and even then I kind of of fell into it after writing a training diary for a half marathon. I completed the race, not the diary but realised I was quite funny and could string a sentence of two together well. So that's what I continued to do and now have written 15 books.


What would you say to those wanting to become an author?

For those of you wanting to become an author, I would say, just start writing.  Stick to a specific genre and then see what's in the top 20 of that genre at the time. Thinking of a good idea for a novel is the hard part but once you have that, just let your mind flow and your hands type.

What do you love about the writing/reading community & if you could say anything to your readers what would it be??

I find the writing and reading community a fun, supportive and inspiring place to be. I do my best to reply to everyone who contacts me as I feel it very important to connect with my readers and fellow authors. I would also like to take this opportunity to say thank you to all who have taken the time to read and review my work.

Claude Bouchard interview

AUTHOR INTERVIEW A little introduction: I’m Claude Bouchard, born, raised, and still living in the Montreal (Canada) area. In a prior life, I worked in the corporate world, mainly in human resources management. In 2008, my employer moved our jobs to India and, while I pursued other employment, I published three books I had written long before then continued to write and publish more. Along the way, I realized I had a new job, that of author, and never looked back.  When did your love of books begin? While in kindergarten, my parents had signed me up for a book of the month thing and I remember the excitement whenever a new book showed up in the mail. I moved on to the Bobbsey Twins, Hardy Boys, Tom Swift, etc. and have never stopped reading since.  When did you start to have the wish to become an author? In 1995, I had an idea for a book and wrote  Vigilante  in eight weeks. I followed up with two others in the same series over the next year or two, even did some agent querying but eve
