Meet the community - Laura

What made you fall in love with books?

The ability to get lost into letters, words and different worlds. To experience new adventures and get to know new people who sadly don’t exist physically but always in a reader’s heart, were my main reasons for falling in love with books. 


Which genres do you prefer to read?

As long as the plot and the characters are interesting, I can read every genre. Although I feel the need to specify that my go-to genres are romance, fantasy, fiction and mystery. 


What are your favourite books you've read so far and why?

I have read so many books this year and I’m glad to say that the majority of them were excellent ones. Having to decide on only one, it would be “It Ends With Us” by Colleen Hoover. The topic of the book will always be relevant and it had a great impact on my life. 


Which characters have you most loved in the books you've read to date and why?

My all time favourite character is Sherlock Holmes. The unique way of him solving mysteries and the logical description of the cases he solved were one of my many reasons to love the character. Also, new additions to this list are Jude Cardan from “The Folk of the Air” series and Juliette Ferrars from the “Shatter Me” series. Being a woman myself, I have always felt the need to have strong female representation in books and I can’t help it but congratulate the writers when a woman is not written as the same stereotypical one.


What made you decide to become a part of our little book based community?

The community is so supportive and creative, which led to my decision to become a member of the community.


What do you love most about the book community?

The members of the community are very warm and welcoming. You can discuss ideas, theories and everything else that is book related. It is having friends and the guarantee that you have a lot in common with them.

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
