AUTHOR INTERVIEW


When did your love of books begin?

I have loved books for as long as I can remember. My mom would tuck us in every night and read us a story. I would often convince her to read two or three, if I was really lucky.


When did you start to have the wish to become an author?

I started writing stories in first grade on my Grandma’s old typewriter. By fifth grade, I had printed two books of poetry to sell to my family and friends.


How have you found the process for becoming an author?

I find that writing comes very easily, but marketing is my Kryptonite.


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

It is difficult to get started, but nothing is more rewarding than having someone truly appreciate your work. If you really enjoy it, never give up.


Tell us about your book/books:

I have published 7 books, have about ten books with illustrators, and am in the process of writing several more.

What do you love about the writing/reading community?

They have been very supportive and welcoming. I love reading and reviewing independent authors. I have found some real literary treasures within that community.


If you could say anything to your readers what would it be?

Learn something every day.

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
