Author Tammy Kaehler Interview and $50.00 Amazon Gift Card Contest

Avoidable Contact: A Kate Reilly Mystery (Kate Reilly Mysteries) by Tammy Kaehler BBB: What punctuation mark best describes your personality? Why?

TK: Definitely a question mark. I’m curious how the world works and why people do what they do. I know that’s what led me to write fiction and, particularly, to write fiction about racing. I first encountered racing because a company I worked for started sponsoring a team and needed extra hands at the track. I didn’t know anything about it, and I was curious. That set my whole author journey in motion, because I was so fascinated by what I was learning and experiencing that I had to share it with others.

Author Sylvia Izzo Hunter Interview and $75.00 Amazon Gift Card Contest

The Midnight Queen (A Noctis Magicae Novel) by Sylvia Izzo Hunter BBB: If you could go to the past or future, where would you stay and why?

SIH: I’m not sure how I feel about the idea of being a tourist in the past; I think I’d be much too tempted to try to change things, and if you’ve read as many time-travel books as I have, you know how that always turns out! But I admit I’m fascinated by the code-breaking and misdirection operations run out of Bletchley Park during the Second World War, and it Read More »

Author Lauren Smith Interview and Amazon Gift Card Contest

Wicked Designs (The League of Rogues) by Lauren Smith BBB: If you could eliminate one thing from your daily schedule, what would it be and why?

LS: Driving. I wish they had teleportation machines. I’d be the first in line to try one out. I think driving can take up a lot of time when you have to run errands or when I drive to work. Wouldn’t it be cool to just step through a portal and blam! You’re where you need to be in a matter of seconds!

Author S.J. Harper by Interview and Amazon Gift Card Contest

Captured: A Fallen Siren Prequel by S.J. Harper BBB: What is the strangest thing you ever did to research something for a story?

SJH:

J - This really has nothing to do with research but not long after I joined Sisters in Crime, I was wearing a SinC tee shirt and waiting in line at the post office. Someone touched my arm and asked if SinC was an organization for ex-cons. I had never thought what Sisters in Crime might look like to an outsider before that.

Author Stephen Zimmer Interview and Amazon Gift Card Contest

The Undying Light (The Rising Dawn Saga Book 4) by Stephen Zimmer BBB: If you were to create a slogan for your life, what would it be? (Example: Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow, we all die.)

SZ: Keep moving forward. I’ve taken a lot of hits and falls over the years, been knocked down many times by difficult life events, and the important thing is to keep getting up and moving forward. It is an incredibly hard thing to do sometimes, but it is the only way you are going to become the person you want to become and honor those who believe in you and love you.
