T.R. Davis interview

AUTHOR INTERVIEW


When did your love of books begin?

I have loved reading books my entire life. I had The Hobbit as a picture book before I could read. As soon as I could figure out the words, I was hooked. I read everything and anything.


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

Every time I read a book I want to write one myself. My imagination takes off every time, and I wonder what I would do differently, or I think up alternate paths.


How have you found the process for becoming an author?

I finished my first book in my late forties, and I have a lot of regret that I didn't start sooner in life. I found the writing to be a wonderful outlet for my imagination. Publishing nowdays is simple enough as an indie writer. The only thing I have trouble with is marketing. I would rather write than market. But I am trying...


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

Its work. Enjoyable, wonderful work, but still work all the same. A lot of days I have to push myself to write. But once I start, I can usually find my groove. I have about a dozen WIP's currently, and it is easy to find something matching my mood to work on.


Tell us about your book/books:

My first three books are about inherited memory. A genetic mutation gives my characters access to the memories of long-dead relatives, usually someone historically notable. My books delve into both the current lives of the characters, and the lives of the ancestors. Book 1 (Flashback) involves a company exploiting the children for ulterior motives, and a young girl's journey in fighting back against them.

*They are not young adult by any stretch, they just have young characters.


What do you love about the writing/reading community?

I'm new to this, but my feed is filled with writers supporting other writers. I find that wonderful.


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

Thank you for taking a chance on a new(ish) author. I hope to have a long and productive journey.

Francessca Bella interview

AUTHOR INTERVIEW     A little introduction: My name is Francessca Bella, author of Mazarine Dreamer, and I'm creative, writerly, artistic, studious, organized, striving, productive, insightful, an INTJ, and I thrive with verbomania.  My favorite words are  rarissima , fanasticality, peachy-keen,  vivace , and automagical.  When did your love of books begin? Books and art filled my mind, time, and imagination since childhood when I read voraciously and drew daily. My imagination always was activated and kept active  through the creative mediums. When did you start to have the wish to become an author? I lived as uniquely as fiction, residing in a new state, a new world, every other month and loving it; despite going to 36 different schools I graduated with a 4.0 GPA and went to college where my desire to become an author began with my mother as my inspiring encouragement-giver and co-writer. Looking back now, 29 manuscripts later, it seems like a walk through the park to get that f
