Awethors Event: Interview with Cortina Jackson

Apr 8, 2015 | Authors

Our tenth awesome author in the countdown until the Get Down With The Awethors Facebook event on April 12 is Cortina Jackson. Cortina has a really original prize that will give you insight into her book as well as her inspiration. Read on to find out what it is!

~~~

1. What will you be sharing with the group on April 12 at the Get Down With The Awethors event? Free book giveaway, sneak peek, merchandise, holding a competition, discussion?

I will have a free book giveaway; I will also give away my introduction to my book with background sounds from Hell on CD. I am getting a few more prizes to give away as well. I do plan on also doing a discussion, as my fiction thriller On Earth As It Is In Hell definitely sparks conversation.

2. What is your latest book or work, and where can we find it?

My book is entitled On Earth As It Is In Hell it can be found on my website at on earth as it is in hell_cortinajackson http://www.cortinajackson.com/. It is also available at Amazon.com,

https://www.amazon.com/author/cortinajackson, Barnes and Noble.com, and Apple iBookstore.

3. What drives you to write? Music, an interest in the human mind, is it cathartic for you?

Writing is therapeutic for me. Everything that I want to express, whether it is sadness, joy, disappointment, or excitement, I am able to put my thoughts on paper and truly make the reader feel what I feel. I also want them to see it through my eyes, so I am able to paint a vivid picture.

4. What’s your favorite book in the world? One you couldn’t imagine having lived your life without reading.

I really enjoyed reading a book by Mary K. Baxter titled A Devine Revelation of Hell; it was the first book that I read from cover to cover. It opened my eyes and intrigued me. I sought to write a book that would intrigue people without insulting them or forcing them to believe in anything. This is definitely that book, and it has been compared to Constantine and Devil’s Advocate, both starring Keanu Reeves.

5. When will you be at the Awethors event on April 12? All day or at a certain time?

I plan to be there all day!! I truly cannot wait to meet so many amazing people! Meet you there!

Awethors Event: Interview with Rachel Cotterill

Apr 7, 2015 | Authors

Our ninth awesome author in the countdown until the Get Down With The Awethors Facebook event on April 12 is Rachel Cotterill. Visiting her social media links doesn’t just give you insight into her books, you’ll find scrumptious recipes and food photos!

~~~

1. What will you be sharing with the group on April 12 at the Get Down With The Awethors event? Free book giveaway, sneak peek, merchandise, holding a competition, discussion?

I’ll be giving away books, answering questions, and offering readers the opportunity to sign up for ARCs of new releases. Plus, naturally, taking part in some of the fun events like Cover Wars!

2. What is your latest book or work, and where can we find it?

My latest release is a fantasy mystery novella called The Falconer, which follows Roan’s attempts to uncover the truth after he witnesses a suspicious death. You can download it free from https://payhip.com/b/CKi2 or from most major ebook stores.

My most recent full-length work, also published this year, is Watersmeet – a tale of alchemy and romance set in the same world.

3. What drives you to write? Music, an interest in the human mind, is it cathartic for you?

I don’t remember a time when I didn’t tell stories; it comes as naturally to me as breathing. At least these days I get to share my work with willing readers, rather than getting in trouble for spinning tales to my (surprisingly gullible) school friends!

4. What’s your favorite book in the world? One you couldn’t imagine having lived your life without reading.

Hmm, probably Dune. I read it when I was quite young and the sweeping mixture of space adventure and fantasy elements really caught my imagination. Frank Herbert is indirectly responsible for most of what I read (and write) today!

5. When will you be at the Awethors event on April 12? All day or at a certain time?

I’ll be in and out all day, at least during reasonable UK hours. And I’ll have my phone in my pocket the rest of the time, if anyone wants to tag me to get my attention!

Awethors Event: Interview with Sunshine Somerville

Apr 7, 2015 | Authors

Our eighth awesome author in the countdown until the Get Down With The Awethors Facebook event on April 12 is Sunshine Somerville (how cool is her name?!). She’s going to have some fun competitions at the Awethors event with multiple chances to win her books.

~~~

1. What will you be sharing with the group on April 12 at the Get Down With The Awethors event? Free book giveaway, sneak peek, merchandise, holding a competition, discussion?

I plan to have an ongoing Q&A discussion about my books in The Kota Series. I’ll pick my favorite question, and that winner will receive free paperback copies of books 1-4 (the whole series).

I’ll also have a “What actor would best play this character?” competition where I’ll post drawn pictures of my characters, and my favorite four winners will receive free ebooks of book 1.

(Psst: ebook versions of books 2-4 will be free on Amazon all day)

2. What is your latest book or work, and where can we find it?

I just finished putting together an ebook box set for The Kota Series. That’s on pre-order right now for $4.99 and will release 12/18/2015 at: http://amzn.to/1CW9Yc7.

3. What drives you to write? Music, an interest in the human mind, is it cathartic for you?

I’ve been writing The Kota Series since I was nine, so I’ve always had a lot of ideas in my head. I love creating anything, really, and world-building is my absolute favorite part of writing. I think, like most writers, there’s just so much in my head that I have to get it out there!

4. What’s your favorite book in the world? One you couldn’t imagine having lived your life without reading.

I can never pick a favorite! But The Chronicles of Narnia was definitely the first book I ever remember reading as a kid and thinking, “Aha! I want to make my own worlds,” so that series was pretty influential to my start as a writer.

5. When will you be at the Awethors event on April 12? All day or at a certain time?

I’ll definitely get my above-mentioned discussions/contests going by 8:00 a.m. EST. I plan to check every hour (at least) until midnight to keep things going. And of course I’m excited to interact with all the other authors (I hope to win book goodies for myself!), so you’ll probably see me around a lot all day.

Author Bio

Sunshine Somerville lives in Grand Rapids, Michigan. She self-published her first book in college in 2004 and has been evolving The Kota Series since she was nine, basing the story on childhood fantasies derived from watching too much X-Men and Star Wars and reading too much Chronicles of Narnia and A Wrinkle in Time.

Awethors Event: Interview with Isaac Jourden

Apr 6, 2015 | Authors

Our seventh awesome author in the countdown until the Get Down With The Awethors Facebook event on April 12 is Isaac Jourden. Sales in the month of April from his debut novel will be donated to water.org, so if you don’t win a copy at the Awethors event, help a worthy cause afterwards!

~~~

1. What will you be sharing with the group on April 12 at the Get Down With The Awethors event? Free book giveaway, sneak peek, merchandise, holding a competition, discussion?

I’m promoting my first novel, Petty. I am giving away copies as part of the Contemporary Fiction bundle, but also, all the profits from sales on Petty in March and April are being donated to water.org, and purchasing enters you into a drawing (with a randomly selected winner) for cool prizes like an Amazon gift card, a Kindle, an Xbox One, and more!

Details on how to enter are all at http://www.isaacjourden.com.

2. What is your latest book or work, and where can we find it?

Petty is my first novel; it’s about a small-time con artist working in an amusement park Petty-Front-Full and trying to keep his social life and his underhanded activity separate. It’s out now and available on Amazon.com in ebook for $2.99 or paperback for $11.99. Reviews have been good – currently 4 out of 5 stars on Goodreads and 4.7 out of 5 stars on Amazon!

My second novel, The Gravedigger’s Girlfriend, is currently going through the editing process and will hopefully be released this summer. I’d say the writing style is inspired in tone – if not in content – by authors like Chuck Palahniuk and Douglas Coupland.

3. What drives you to write? Music, an interest in the human mind, is it cathartic for you?

I really enjoy strategy games and logic puzzles because of that “aha!” moment when you discover something that makes all the various pieces work to give you the correct solution. Novel writing for me is much the same – I like writing stories about characters whose lives interweave in unpredictable but inevitable ways, starting with things that seem unconnected but build to a big finish.

So for me, novel writing is kind of like a big puzzle, and finding that missing piece that ties everything together elegantly is incredibly satisfying.

4. What’s your favorite book in the world? One you couldn’t imagine having lived your life without reading.

This is a tough one because so many books could fit that description. I’d have to say Dune by Frank Herbert is my all-time favorite. I love the way the story is focused on the characters much more than the plot. I love the way all the characters are weaving schemes nested within schemes and the way that all the characters are intelligent, self aware, and mostly amoral. The psychology of it is so engaging, and the heroes and villains all match wits well. I really appreciate that.

5. When will you be at the Awethors event on April 12? All day or at a certain time?

As much as I can, off and on all day. I’ve put aside the day to focus on being at the event as much as possible!

Awethors Event: Interview with Simon Coates

Apr 5, 2015 | Authors

Our fifth awesome author in the countdown until the Get Down With The Awethors Facebook event on April 12 is Simon Coates. Simon turned his love for bike riding and competing into a book, Bike Racing into the Red. In fact, he’s competing today!

~~~

1. What will you be sharing with the group on April 12 at the Get Down With The Awethors event? Free book giveaway, sneak peek, merchandise, holding a competition, discussion?

Not sure yet – merchandise is a possibility. My cycling story was foreworded by Paul Curran, two-time 1986 Commonwealth Games gold medal winner, and I should be able to get some signed items. At the very least, ebook versions of the published books I have.

2. What is your latest book or work, and where can we find it?

The book I have just published is The Discovery of Love, which is a love story (obviously!) but not your typical romance. Yes, there are two people in love, but the title is about the discovery of love; these people have obviously found it, so it is not really about them…

I had a book launch last weekend in Saltburn, North East England. At the moment my paperback books are only available in my local area. I will be looking into making my books available across a wider area; I published with a local publisher, so I don’t use CreateSpace, which of course makes distribution a bit more difficult. However, my books are all on Kindle, so they can be downloaded from there. You can get more details on my website http://www.galactic-echo.com.

3. What drives you to write? Music, an interest in the human mind, is it cathartic for you?

Well it was originally a hobby, but I have since decided to see if I can take it to the ultimate level. I have found that I love writing, and going to events I get to meet people, which is great. In just a couple of months I have met some really famous people and I just enjoy the whole writing thing, from thinking of ideas, to talking to people, and everything else, really!

Also getting feedback is great. One person who read my cycling story said he used it as inspiration to climb a mountain he was riding up, which was quite humbling, really (it wasn’t Olympus Mons by the way…).

4. What’s your favorite book in the world? One you couldn’t imagine having lived your life without reading.

Well funnily enough I don’t read much, believe it or not. I can’t think of any books that I could live without, to be honest! Other authors can’t believe I don’t read, but I personally don’t feel the need to. I don’t need to read others’ work to gain inspiration, and one’s own style is something you develop naturally, not by reading other people’s books.

5. When will you be at the Awethors event on April 12? All day or at a certain time?

Well I have a bike race on the same day, so it will probably be in the afternoon. I will actually be Bike Racing into the Red, then talking about the book of the same name!

~~~

Author Bio

I am Simon Coates, 41 years old, I live in Middlesbrough, North East England, UK. I have been writing for about seven years, around the general idea of what life might be like in the 24th century. My stories take a general concept and I then build a story around it. For example, with Bike Racing into the Red, it is around the idea that we live on planet Mars. Mars has the highest mountain in the universe, so it is inevitable that we would want to climb it to the top. A bike race is a logical extension to this. So I wrote a story about one!

When I am not writing, I am likely out on my bike; I compete in road time trial races, up to national championship level.

Awethors Event: Interview with Elizabeth Horton-Newton

Apr 4, 2015 | Authors

Our fourth awesome author in the countdown until the Get Down With The Awethors Facebook event on April 12 is Elizabeth Horton-Newton. Her debut historical mystery novel, View From the Sixth Floor: An Oswald Tale, is based on a series of “what ifs” centering around the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

~~~

1. What will you be sharing with the group on April 12 at the Get Down With The Awethors event? Free book giveaway, sneak peek, merchandise, holding a competition, discussion?

I have a giveaway on Goodreads from April 1^st through April 15^th. Three entries will be chosen to receive a signed copy of my book, View From the Sixth Floor: An Oswald Tale.

2. What is your latest book or work, and where can we find it?

View From the Sixth Floor: An Oswald Tale is available on Amazon (http://amzn.to/1xm97s3) and Createspace (https://www.createspace.com/5010415).

3. What drives you to write? Music, an interest in the human mind, is it cathartic for you?

Since I was a small child I have had stories swimming around in my head. Sometimes these stories are stimulated by music, something I’ve read in the news, the name of a person or place, or a snippet of conversation I overhear. It is definitely cathartic for me to write. If I don’t write the stories down they haunt me until I let them out.

4. What’s your favorite book in the world? One you couldn’t imagine having lived your life without reading.

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. I truly believe this is one of the best books ever written and certainly the best book ever written by an American author. I am a great Stephen King fan and love most of his books, but Harper Lee still holds the number one spot for me.

5. When will you be at the Awethors event on April 12? All day or at a certain time?

I will be available at the Awethors event on April 12^th from 1:00 PM until 4:00 PM EST.

Awethors Event: Interview with Francene Stanley

Apr 3, 2015 | Authors

Our third awesome author in the countdown until the Get Down With The Awethors Facebook event on April 12 is Francene Stanley. She writes every day not just as a habit but as a necessity.

~~~

1. What will you be sharing with the group on April 12 at the Get Down With The Awethors event? Free book giveaway, sneak peek, merchandise, holding a competition, discussion?

I will be giving away an e-book copy of the dystopian Seaweed Ribbons as part of the Get Down With the Awethors event.

2. What is your latest book or work, and where can we find it?

My latest release is Shattered Shells part three of the Moonstone series. An ordinary woman wearing a moonstone ring which gives her visions, plays psychic detective. http://bookgoodies.com/a/B00O94OHIY

Raymond tries to settle in his young bride’s underground home, but when her matriarchal society opposes his plans, he and Ginny set out for his original town. Eric follows, hoping to divide the couple and win Ginny for himself. But there is no easy route through wild land populated by different cultures in Corn World, Britland.

3. What drives you to write? Music, an interest in the human mind, is it cathartic for you?

I write because I must. Creating in this way is part of my daily life, as important as breathing.

4. What’s your favorite book in the world? One you couldn’t imagine having lived your life without reading.

I don’t have just one favorite book. I love so many—grew up reading my grandmother’s collection of old science fiction books filled with ideas and endless possibilities.

5. When will you be at the Awethors event on April 12? All day or at a certain time?

I’ll be at Awethors several times during April 12^th. I live in England so it will differ from American, Australian and other parts of the world’s time.

Awethors Event: Interview with Lisa

Apr 1, 2015 | Authors

Get excited – a brand new book event is coming to town, and you can access it right from your own computer! Get Down With The Awethors is a Facebook event that will take place on April 12 ALL DAY LONG. Whether you want to win giveaways, participate in discussions, or just meet some awesome indie authors, stop by – we’ve got 155 authors coming in and out of the event all day. What could be more exciting than that?

Speaking of great authors, Proof Positive snagged interviews with 12 of the participating authors, and we’ll be posting an interview every day until the event begins. The countdown starts with Lisa, author of poetry and fiction novels alike.

~~~

1. What will you be sharing with the group on April 12 at the Get Down With The Awethors event? Free book giveaway, sneak peek, merchandise, holding a competition, discussion?

I’ll be giving away a copy of my first novel, The Elemental, part I of The Fire Trilogy as well as my second poetry collection, When Words Start To Sing. People can also ask me questions on that day and I’ll try to answer them as honestly as possible. 😉

2. What is your latest book or work, and where can we find it?

My latest is the poetry collection When Words Start To Sing, and right now I’m working on The Empath, part II of The Fire Trilogy. You can find it on Amazon worldwide or ask for it in your local bookstore. They are available as both ebook and paperback.

3. What drives you to write? Music, an interest in the human mind, is it cathartic for you?

Funny you should ask, because it was indeed music. Placebo more specifically. Back in 2009, I saw them live at Pinkpop festival. When they were playing “Come Undone”, it was twilight and we had a beautiful pink-purple sky. Brian, the singer, said the song had come to him in a dream and while he was singing, the outlines of The Elemental popped into my head. For a few minutes, I was in a different world. It wasn’t until much later I remembered that moment. One night when I went to bed, I dreamed about the book and when I woke up, I took it as a sign from the Universe to pursue a career in writing. I listened to nothing else but Battle for the Sun, the Placebo album they had just released at that time, driving everybody crazy. So you could argue it really became the soundtrack to my book. And they’re still very important to my writing. I consider Brian my muse, so let’s hope they go on for many more years. 😉

Also, I write paranormal fiction. I believe there is more between Heaven and Earth. I wanted to show people that being “gifted” doesn’t make you scary or different or abnormal. Yes, it can be dangerous and a burden and all that, but it’s also just another skill. Like some people are really good musicians or carpenters or doctors. My characters are living normal lives, they could be friends of yours. The normality of the paranormal is important to me.

4. What’s your favorite book in the world? One you couldn’t imagine having lived your life without reading.

Oh, terrible question! Just one… Arrggh! Well, if it’s just one book, I guess it would have to be Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen. There’s so much in it. I’ve read it hundreds of times and I still discover new things or new emotions when I read it. I mean, Tolkien and more recently JK Rowling certainly changed my life, but Jane Austen is responsible for the hopeful romantic I am today. Yes, hopeful, not hopeless. I believe everybody will find the love they need. It’s finding out what you need that’s the hard part. I feel very blessed in love through life.

5. When will you be at the Awethors event on April 12? All day or at a certain time?

Pretty much all day, assisting DM Cain (author of The Phoenix Project and Chronicles of Chaos), answering people’s questions and making sure nobody gets left out.

~~~

Author Bio

Lisa is the author of the poetry collections Nothing is Forgotten, When Words Start To Sing and The Elemental, part I of The Fire Trilogy. The Elemental is her first full-length novel. She has a background in social services and music, but writing has always been a part of her daily life. One night she dreamed the outline of The Elemental and took it as a sign from the Universe to pursue a career in writing.

She grew up in a small town in the Netherlands where her parents always taught her to think outside the box. She has a degree in social studies and joined the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids as an adult.

Lisa loves London, according to her “the city where magic dwells,” and can often be found there. She still resides in the Netherlands, however, with her partner and their dog, Miss Ginger Rogers, and if you’re lucky, you may find her in her favourite coffeehouse, Barista cafe.

Lisa is also a freelance copywriter for CAPSLOC, a music venue in The Netherlands, an editor for Folk Harp Folks, a magazine published by The Dutch Folk Harp society, and she writes a weekly column for her local newspaper.
