Author: Ritu Anand Title:  Kara's Dream Genre/Genres: Children's Concepts, Nature, Children's Social Themes Synopsis: A fearful young tree finds courage in this picture book. Kara worries that “Wind could smash her, Water could drench her, Earth could swallow her, And Night…could freeze her” before she has the chance to grow older and taller. When she voices her concerns to tall Utsa, who is over 200 years old, the wise tree relates a story about her daughter, Aa-hum, and the girl’s cousin Viheen, who got caught in a hurricane. The two trees reacted differently: Viheen “smirked at Water” while Aa-hum “took it as if she were taking a shower.” Viheen “shook his roots” and “sneered at Night” while Aa-hum “dug her roots” and “huddled with Night.” Aa-hum still stands “one hundred years and many storms later,” but Viheen was destroyed. Inspired by the tale, Kara aims to stay strong. That night, she boldly withstands a storm. She “smiled and bowed as Wind passed by” and as “Water ...

AUTHOR INTERVIEW A little introduction: I'm an indie author from Raleigh, NC. I just celebrated my 10 year anniversary and have two kids and four cats if you can believe it. When did your love of books begin? My favorite class in high school was AP Literature, so I've always liked stories, but reading wasn't high in priorities due to being a collegiate athlete. I was always jealous of my little sister making time to read. I've started reading during Covid much more in the past and have hundreds of book reviews on my website if you'd like to check it out at  www.cassieswindon.com When did you start to have the wish to become an author? April 2020 I woke up from a dream about two characters who turned out to be Kody and Raelyn in the Golden Chains romantic suspense trilogy. It's a YA/NA crossover series because of the moderate steam level. How have you found the process for becoming an author? I love drafting. If I can write a chapter a day my life feels complete ...

AUTHOR INTERVIEW 2 First of all welcome back for another interview with Feed My Reads as our community really do appreciate you taking the time to do this. It is my pleasure to take the time to do this. I would like as many readers as possible to get to know more about me, my story, and what I have overcome in life. Thank you for creating these wonderful interviews. So, our first question is who is your writing hero? This is such a hard question for me to answer. My life has been influenced by so many different writers and styles. Stephen King, of course, is a writing hero of mine, as well as Lee Child, and James Patterson. But I have also loved reading Sun Tzu and Leo Tolstoy, not that I understood all of what they wrote.  Which book or books would you say influenced you the most on your writing journey? Many books have influenced my writing, but only a few have influenced me to become a better person and writer. The AA Big Book and the Bible helped me with that. Then there is Ste...

AUTHOR INTERVIEW 2 First of all welcome back for another interview with Feed My Reads as our community really do appreciate you taking the time to do this. So, our first question is who is your writing hero? Undoubtedly Michael Moorcock. His influence upon me as a teenager and beyond was massive. I love the writing of R E Howard, Conan was my first reading obsession, but when I discovered Moorcock's Eternal Champion mythos I was hooked. The sword and sorcery genre suddenly became a lot richer and more complex and led me off in other directions of metaphysical thought and study, and novels such as Breakfast In the Ruins, Behold the Man, and Byzantium Endures proved that he is not just a writer about dragons! Which book or books would you say influenced you the most on your writing journey? Stormbringer and The Final Programme by Michael Moorcock, The Art of Dreaming by Carlos Castaneda, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams, The Hero with a Thousand Faces by Jos...

AUTHOR INTERVIEW A little introduction: Peyton Lawson is a debut British romance author. She writes spicy Viking romance and loves the alpha male! She enjoys reading and traveling. When did your love of books begin? I think I really started appreciating books when I was in my teens. I spent most weekends by the sea in my parent’s country home. The drive from Manchester was long, and my mum suggested I read a book when it became apparent that looking out the window was no longer amusing me. Books became my constant companions and they made the time we spent at the cottage over the summer fly by when none of my friends were available for a visit. When did you start to have the wish to become an author? A lot of the books I read were historical and set in the UK. But the ones I like best were the old Viking romances. They seemed to have fallen out of favour and I decided to revive the genre, so to speak. With Viking-themed shows on Netflix and other streaming services, I figured I wasn’t ...
