I wanted to give the series an unforgettable ending, and what better way to do that but putContinue reading “Q&A with Tina Hogan Grant”

What inspired your book? Actually, I stumbled into it. A few years ago, I started re-evaluating my life.

SoContinue reading “Q&A with Hope Gibbs Cummiskey”

What was the inspiration for your latest book? This book is actually a re-release of a book that came out for the first time in 2005.

Writing another romantic suspense story, “RepressingContinue reading “Q&A with Ashley Cobb-Post (aka Katie Philippone Mirsky)”

The thought of an actual book report was terrifying. So, I picked a book out of the library that hadn’tContinue reading “Q&A with Katie Graykowski”

What genre do you write? While I consider myself first and foremost a literary fiction writer, I have gravitated into the horror, weird fiction, and magical realism genre. I still stick true to my form which is the short story, but I have discovered ways to expand my short story world by writing linked narratives connectedContinue reading “Q&A with Dawn Major “

How long have you been writing? I first wanted to write a novel once I began working at the Department of Justice in 2001.
