Featured Interview With Author Sasha Gray

Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I was born and raised in Vladivostok, Russia but recently moved to the United States and currently live in lovely Ohio with my two Rottweilers, Sammy and Smokey, who are about to have puppies. I also have some chickens for the free eggs, and ducks that live around my backyard pond.

At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I've loved to read since I can remember, because we had no television growing up, and I always carry a paperback book with me wherever I go even though I have over a hundred of digital ones on my cell phone, but I didn't start writing until a few years ago because ballet was my life's passion for longest time. I fell in love with the Little House on the Prairie Books which is probably the biggest reason why I eventually moved to the States: to live like Laura Ingalls!

Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
I love so many writers that it's hard to name them all. Tolstoy, and Chekov. Louisa May Alcott. I also really love anything Stephen King. My latest favorite genre is fantasy: Andre Norton. Piers Anthony. Adron Smitley. I read some erotica here and there but not much even though I mainly write it.

Tell us a little about your latest book?
I'm working on plenty more erotica stories that will definitely satisfy my wonderful readers, though because of its genre I'm not sure how much I can actually say, haha! I'm writing more stepmom/stepson stories and also stepdad/stepdaughter stories, and I'm thinking of doing stepbrother/stepsister stories too after that. They are mostly short ebook stories that I will eventually put into another paperback collection like I did with my Sensual Stepmom Series. I'm also dabbling in horror and fantasy a little, but I need to read a lot more before I feel confident enough to publish any of it yet.

Featured Interview With Author Roza Bonnard

Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I was raised in Seattle where I went to college and lived in a small apartment with my parents until we moved into a bigger place when I was 10. A few years later, my parents got divorced and my father moved to England. Shortly afterwards, I followed him there and nowadays I live in Solihull in a small house with my husband and our dog.

At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
From an early age I always loved books, especially the works of Marie Corelli, Susan Sontag and Elizabeth Barrett Browning, but it wasn't until I read Joan Didion that I decided to start writing. At first I only wrote journal notes, and it wasn't until I moved to England that I decided to write my first novella.

Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
I absolutely love Donna Tartt, Bret Easton Ellis, Anais Nin, and Joan Didion. I can read almost anything apart from fantasy novels and science-fiction. Writers like Joan Didion and Anais Nin are the reason why I started to write.

Tell us a little about your latest book?
My novella "The Journal of a bisexual poet" was partially inspired in some events of my past, when I was a crazy young woman. It tells the story of a bisexual poet who is trying to forget a past lover and gets involved with another woman at her workplace. It's a book that contains strong sexual content, and I don't think that I will ever write another book like that.

Featured Interview With Author Peter Raposo

Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I was born in London to Portuguese parents. My parents moved back to Portugal when I was 2-years old, but in 1991 I finally returned to London where I lived for 8 years before returning to Portugal. After a few years living in Portugal, I decided to return to London again and remain in my country of birth to purchase my writing ambitions. In 2005 I was back in England again, living in London, and I started to work on my writing. In 2008 I moved to Coventry, where I'm still living, and in 2021, after a painful divorce and a bad case of depression, I managed to get my first novel "dUst" published. That was quickly followed by another novel, "the illusion of movement", which I wrote during lockdown, and I have been writing ever since and have published 12 books since then. At the moment I live alone, and I'm still trying to find a place for myself in this world.

At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I was 6-years old when I realized I wanted to become a writer. I read a lot of Dumas, Verne, and Wells back then. I also wrote my first story aged 6, and that was followed by lots of short-stories, but I took a break from writing for a long time because I wanted to live and gain life experience.

Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
I like Kenzaburo Oe, Ma Jian, J. K Huysmans, Philip Roth, Roberto Bolano, Nicole Krauss, and so many others, and I like to read all sorts of literature, no matter the genre. Events in my life and people around me are some of my inspirations, and some times ideas just come into my head and I write about it.

Tell us a little about your latest book?
My latest book is called "those who lie will fade and die", and it's the follow-up to my books "the illusion of movement" and "cast away your dreams of darkness". The three books tell the story of author M÷. Set at the start of 2023, "those who lie will fade and die" finds science-fiction author M÷ trying to move on with his life after his latest breakup. Easier said than done. On his journey towards a new life, he’s told about an ancient race of snake-like people who have lived among us since the beginning of time and he even meets a time traveller. And as if that wasn’t enough, Donald Trump is making a comeback and Steven Seagal is teaching martial arts to troops in Russia.
Maybe Musk is right and we’re living in a computer simulation, forever bound to repeat the mistakes of the past.

Featured Interview With Author Vanessa Thurgood

Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I was raised in Southeast Idaho on a potato farm. However, my job was to take care of our horses and I couldn't have asked for a better one. I got to ride whenever I wanted and allow my imagination to run away with me as we rode through the river bottoms near my home. After a few years in the Midwest after getting married, I've returned home to my roots and get to live out the dreams I had on the backs of those horses by writing my books.

At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I've always been fascinated by books. My mom bought me a reading lamp that clamped onto my bed so I could read late into the night. However, I didn't realize I wanted to become a writer until after I had kids and was frustrated by not being able to find a clean, yet exciting book to read.

Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
I've really come to love reading books by Brandon Mull, Morgan L. Busse, Sara Wright, and C.F.E Black. I'm a big-time fantasy nerd, though I will cross genres on occasion for Sci-Fi, historical fantasy, and urban fantasy.

Tell us a little about your latest book?
My latest book, THE QUEEN OF THE NIGHT, is the third volume in The Comstock Chronicles. My main character, Nienna Comstock, gets a real shock when rogue magic pulls her back in time and lands her in the clutches of the most notorious dragon in Tellidine history.

This book took me a year to write because I had two very strong and diverging plot lines that I had to bring together into one main story. Needless to say it was a bit of a beast.
