Interview with Author – Kate Beth Heywood
About Kate Beth Heywood: Kate is the author of the comedy novel, Anti-Social Media which was inspired by the lovely trolls, bullies, and pedants who inhabit the world of social media... and a fantastically farcical Woody Allen movie (Italian tenor singing in a shower onstage, anyone?) She is working on her second novel, which is yet unnamed but has the working title 'Guest House.' She's not entirely sure why it has that working title as it's not actually about a guest house, but let's not … [Read more...] about Interview with Author – Kate Beth Heywood
Interview with Author – Neil Hughes
About Neil Hughes: Neil Hughes finds it difficult to describe himself, especially in the third person. He has spent time as a computer programmer, a physicist, a semi-professional evangelist and even occasionally as a stand-up comedian. He now writes part-time, programs part-time and tries not to worry too much about everything. After many years living all over the place, he has returned to the north-west of England where he hopes to do various things that help people to be happy. He … [Read more...] about Interview with Author – Neil Hughes
Interview with Author – Joe Mikolay
About Joe Mikolay: I was born in the suburbs of NJ and then went to college in NYC, where I spent the next dozen years or so. I'm a big time pop culture junkie: movies, music, television and comic books are my favorite vices. I also love sports both legitimate (NFL) and otherwise (WWE). I've had a passion for writing for as long as I can remember, and have wanted to share my work with others ever since I put pen to paper. My biggest thrill is having the opportunity to share my work with those … [Read more...] about Interview with Author – Joe Mikolay
Interview with Author – Clayton Smith
About Clayton Smith: Clayton Smith is a writer of speculative fiction living in Chicago, where he has become exceedingly good at cursing the winters. He writes novels, short stories, and plays, mostly. His work has been featured on the popular Internet site Amazon, and he has had plays produced rather mercilessly in St. Louis and New York City. Clayton tends to inject a healthy dose of magical realism into his stories, which distresses his characters to no end. One day, they will likely … [Read more...] about Interview with Author – Clayton Smith
Interview with Author – Janey Mack
About Janey Mack: Janey Mack grew up always wanting to be a cop but her dad wouldn’t let her, so she did the next best thing. She created Maisie McGrane, who gets to do everything she can’t. Janey lives with her husband and children in Scottsdale, Arizona within driving distance of her brothers. What inspires you to write? I read an article about how the city of Chicago sold their parking meters to Saudi Arabia for 75 years. Chicago has the highest parking rates and fines in the United … [Read more...] about Interview with Author – Janey Mack
Interview with Author – William Bryan Smith
About William Bryan Smith: William Bryan Smith was born in New Haven, CT in 1971. He holds an MFA in creative writing from Bennington College, and is a graduate of Mansfield University. The Late Great Thor McHugh is his fifth novel. What inspires you to write? I suppose I'm inspired by the great novels I've read. For example, when I read a book like Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow, I'm reminded what the modern novel can be, how it can capture a moment in time (the waning days of WWII), but how … [Read more...] about Interview with Author – William Bryan Smith
Interview with Author – M.E. Kinkade
About M.E. Kinkade: M.E. Kinkade wanted to be an architect when she was in third grade, but that didn’t work out, so now she builds (and destroys) imaginary worlds instead. Her work has appeared in The Dallas Morning News, CURE Magazine, and several online venues. She loves science fiction and dystopian books, movies, and TV shows. She watches too many crime dramas and is insufferable about trying to guess the killer. She knows the lyrics to just about every major song in a Disney movie. She … [Read more...] about Interview with Author – M.E. Kinkade
Interview with Author – Bryce A Baker
About Bryce A Baker: As a child, my upbringing was in the back woods of Ontario, Canada. It was coarse, and for my brothers and I, it was also an opportunity to breathe in the breath of nature. When one plays in the forest it has a tendency to rub off on the soul. I was introduced to the big city as an adult, and this was a shock to my system. But the transformation was complete when my employment developed into a career in Criminal Investigation and body guarding. As children, we learned … [Read more...] about Interview with Author – Bryce A Baker
Interview with Author – Matthew Butler
About Matthew Butler: Matthew grew up in Zimbabwe. After a short time at Oxford (England), he left to Australia where he currently lives. He is CMO of a large public company, a Certified Chartered Accountant, a Graphic Designer and a User Experience expert. What inspires you to write? The creative process itself is what inspires me. To create a work that others might enjoy, talk about and be inspired from in turn is what drives me more than anything else. Tell us about your writing … [Read more...] about Interview with Author – Matthew Butler

Interview with Author – G. Eric Francis
About G. Eric Francis: Hello! You know, I hate talking about myself, but I do love talking about why I write. I always have crazy ideas floating through my head, whether it be about undercover chickens, kids who discover the cure for some deadly disease, or other strange concepts that I will eventually get from head to keyboard. I was born in NYC in the late 1960's (so I remember when "Scooby Doo" actually was good). I graduated from Syracuse University in the 1990s, and moved out to the … [Read more...] about Interview with Author – G. Eric Francis
