Interview with Author – J.D. Ruffin
About J.D. Ruffin: J.D. Ruffin is the author of multiple bestselling novels, including the epic fantasy Kingdom War series. Ironically, he never really enjoyed reading until a friend loaned him a dog-eared copy of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Fellowship of the Ring. From that day, he was hooked, discovering fantasy authors Robert Jordan, Brandon Sanderson, R.A. Salvatore, Terry Goodkind and many, many others. Becoming an author was never part of the master plan, but… As a fourteen-year-old … [Read more...] about Interview with Author – J.D. Ruffin
Interview with Author – April Grace
About April Grace: April Grace has always lived in Milton Keynes, and now lives with her boyfriend and, a few nights a week, his two cheeky sons. She has been writing young adult novels for twelve years now, which all started when she decided to write stories on Wattpad while she was supposed to be working hard on modules for her A Levels. (But she did go onto study Creative Writing at university the following year, so it all worked out in the end.) She has worked for a popular UK bookstore, … [Read more...] about Interview with Author – April Grace

Interview with Author – Derek Power
About Derek Power: I began writing in early 2001, mainly focusing on short stories. After winning the odd contest here and there I figured I would try and write something a little longer.

Write a book that you want to read yourself, isn't that the saying? Well that's why I write. I have … [Read more...] about Interview with Author – Derek Power
Interview with Author – Atucim Sanumar
About Atucim Sanumar: Hello. I grew up with video games and anime when I was a kid. From early childhood I was dreaming up all kinds of stories in my head, but never thought about writing. With too much time on my hands at the beginning of 2020, I decided to sit down and write a short story just for fun. Chapter after chapter and the short story developed into a bigger one, then evolved into a full novel. As of this writing, I have five books published. What inspires you to write? I would … [Read more...] about Interview with Author – Atucim Sanumar

Interview with Author – K. Rose
About K. Rose: K. Rose has been a part of the Indie Author Community for years. Getting her start as a reader, her keen eye led to a wonderful career in Alpha/Beta and ARC (Advance Reader Copy) reading. As a joke to her fellow advanced reader colleagues, she created a spoofed blurb and cover for a story and the feedback was so positive that it sparked her to run with it. That stoked a fire that has her racing down a multi-genre freeway with no off-ramp in sight. K. doesn’t write to “market” … [Read more...] about Interview with Author – K. Rose
