I Love interviewing authors & and getting to know them.
As mentioned in the title of this blog post I wanted to interview some authors for this week’s blog post. I am planning to interview at least two authors. If you been here for a while, you know that I am an author and I published my memoir. So, this is a blog post to showcase some of my other passions.
Here are the six questions I have asked:
1. How many books have you written?
2. What is your genre of books you write?
3. What made you want to be an author?
4. What is your big picture dream for your books? Ie. a super fan, do a book signing, doing press releases.
5. Do you want to be on the New York bestselling list?
6. What links do you want to share your links with me so I can put them in the blog post?
My first interview was with CJ Pierce (this is two authors who write together):
1. How many books have you written?
Answer: We've published two. We have three in progress and available for pre-order over the next twelve months.
2. What is your genre of books you write?
Answer: We write fantasy and sci-fi, with an underlying horror and a bit of gore that makes you cringe a bit.
3. What made you want to be an author?
Answer: C answer: I've been writing since I was a kid, and I'm a librarian, so this has always been me.
J answer: j is a great worldbuilder and has so many ideas, but he'll be the first to tell you that he's a terrible writer.
4. What is your big picture dream for your books? Ie. a super fan, do a book signing, doing press releases.
Answer: Before COVID, we looked forward to book signings and meeting fans. (Well, I did. J has PTSD and doesn't like leaving the house.)
5. Do you want to be on the New York bestselling list?
Answer: We don't think we want that level of exposure. That comes with expectations from people who don't know us, and a loss of privacy. We wouldn't mind having our work adapted for the screen, as long as we could stay in the background.
6. What links do you want to share your links with me so I can put them in the blog post?
Answer: https://www.cjpiercebooks.com/

The other author I interview is Tracey Fletcher:
1. How many books have you written?
Answer: I have written five books.
2. What is your genre of books you write?
Answer: They cut across genres such as: chick-lit, crime, fantasy, romantic suspense, and historical fiction.
3. What made you want to be an author?
Answer: It isn't something I wanted to be, but when I got the message from the Holy Spirit to write, I heeded to it, and my writing journey began in 2017, although I didn't get published until 2020.
4. What is your big picture dream for your books? Ie. a super fan, do a book signing, doing press releases.
Answer: I would love to see my books adapted into movies, most especially The Wrong Turn, which is what I like to call African fantasy.
5. Do you want to be on the New York best-selling list?
Answer: Oh yes, it is every Author's dream to be on the best sellers list, not just in New York.
6. What links do you want to share your links with me so I can put them in the blog post?
Answer: https://www.amazon.com/Tracey-Chizoba-Fletcher/e/B08JK9WKR9
