Mandrake Pan interview

Image
AUTHOR INTERVIEW A little introduction: Ahoy, all gentle readers of the electrical communication wonder that is Feed My Reads! My name is Mandrake Pan. Author, Arcanologist, and Man-About-Town. My principal preoccupation these many years has been as the founder, chief writer, and editor of the Foremost Publication of the Supernatural, Eldritch Monthly. However, lately I have turned my hand to gathering all materials from my archives to communicate some of the most incredible cases of the paranormal England has ever heard!  When did your love of books begin? I have loved books for as long as I can remember. My father (who, along with my mother, formed the well-known music hall pairing of Potts and Pan) used to throw books at me when he had had too much to drink. Being a halfway decent silly point in my day, I used to deftly catch them and soon found I was intrigued by the titles. Since that day, I read voraciously.  When did you start to have the wish to bec...

Luisa A. Jones interview

Image
AUTHOR INTERVIEW A little introduction: I'm an independently-published author living in Newport, South Wales with my husband, daughter, dog and cat. I have two other children who have grown up frighteningly quickly and no longer live with us. When I'm not working or reading I'm usually doing something creative, filling my time with writing, crochet, sewing and baking. As a book addict I have far more books than I could ever read in a lifetime, especially since I discovered the existence of 99p kindle deals. My husband and I own a classic VW camper van called Gwynnie, and love to head off on camping trips in the UK and Europe. Hopefully we'll get to travel a little more this year than in recent years. When did your love of books begin? I've loved books for as long as I can remember. I first started reading at the age of three, and I'm sure this was inspired by my parents, who read to me regularly. My dad used to make up funny poems and my mum could recite wi...
