When did your love of books begin?

I have always enjoyed reading, started with school poetry books and there was no stopping. While I primarily write short stories and plan to write a novel soon. I love reading poetry the most.


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

It was during my engineering days. Somehow in all the parties people loved hanging out with me, because I narrated incidents well. They found it engaging. I gave writing a shot in a college fest and people loved it.
That is when I decided I want to write. I tool some time but,  I did publish my first book.


How have you found the process for becoming an author?

Its cumbersome, there are more obstacles as compared to opportunities. Self publishing is a boon but, is very country dependent. The journey is still on. Hoping to figure it out soon.


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

Do it. It is better to do it. Regret is worse than failing.


Tell us about your book/books:

A fresh take on short stories with illustrations and music recommendation for each chapter. This book will provide the readers with an immersive reading experience with a twist.I choose death. Every. F*cking. Time!

It is a collection of five short stories revolving around vices such as smoking, s*x, marriage, religion, intoxication, and the worst of all - The Corporate Rat Race.

Embark on a journey and travel through 5 choices of life and how it compels an individual to choose Death! Every, single, time.Does he have a choice?Can he survive and mend his ways? Or is he doomed forever…




What do you love about the writing/reading community?

There are a lot of communities but the reading/writing community might not be a easy community to make a mark in. But, they definitely do not pull you down.
People are sensitive and tolerant.


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

I crave feedback. So please keep it coming. As a self published author I am still learning the ropes of being an Author. Your feedback matters and helps!

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.

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
