Starlight Tucker "The Trouble With Dreamers" An Interview with Starlight Tucker by Jason E. Foss

                                                                               STARLIGHT TUCKER

           "I am so impressed with Great Writers.  Some look at a blank piece of paper and see just that.  A great Author looks at that same piece of paper and they see a Portal to that next Great novel.  What motivates some of these creative writers to create 'something' out of 'nothing'?  Well one of my Favorite Authors Starlight Tucker didn't mind at all letting us know what motivates her."

                                                                                                                   Jason E. Foss


Jason:               "What motivated you to write "The Trouble With Dreamers"?"


Starlight:

                           "What motivated me to write "The Trouble With Dreamers" was a genuine love for creative writing. Reading and watching movies persistently fed the inspiration for the content. I wrote the story throughout high school and my first two years of college as a pleasant and relaxing hobby."


Jason:                 "For those that would love to buy your book briefly describe what "The Trouble With Dreamers" is about?"


Starlight:        

                           "The Trouble With Dreamers" is a futuristic sci-fi about a faulty piece of technology that causes a man to have dreams and hallucinations about a couple he does not recognize. By the twenty second century, advances in technology resulted in the direct observation of thoughts and dreams through a multipurpose device called the corneal implant. The corneal implant pairs with the connection from the optic nerve to the brain, creating a hands-free world of technology. The C.I. increases productivity and environmental sustainability by replacing paper, thus making the unauthorized use of paper illegal.  Landon Brauns, a CEO of a publishing house, is sent to Brain Analyzation, the psychiatric care system of the future for a supposed malfunction of the C.I. Landon experiences a distorted version of life and love in his own mind, all set in a time far before he existed."



Jason:             "In "The Trouble With Dreamers" who is your favorite character and do any of the characters remind you of yourself and if so why?"


Starlight:  

                         "My favorite character is Serena Summer because she is mysterious, ghostly, and gives the book a peculiar presence. Landon reminds me of myself in his detailed dreams. The story was greatly influenced by my own dreams, so that is how I came up with the theme and created Landon's mind to carry the story."


Jason:             "Do you have another book you are working on and if so what can you share with us about it?"


Starlight:  

                        "I have a lot of creative projects in my long term goals. I am currently working on a lighthearted romance novel and a suspense about dream walking. I also have a flash fiction titled "Reload" that readers have requested me to continue. At their request, I have began the expansion of that story."


Jason:              "For the people that want to buy "The Trouble With Dreamers" where is the best place to buy it?"


Starlight:

                         "The best place to buy The "Trouble With Dreamers" is on Amazon, available in either paperback or the kindle edition, both which contain samples."


                                                                                     CLOSING

            So Starlight was motivated by her genuine love for creative writing.  She was also inspired by books she read and movies she watched.  Now her imagination and creativity has a life of it's own.  Now she took the mold of all of those great movies and books and now from scratch like pottery clay molds her own great stories.  Book lovers that are looking for a futuristic story that expands the imagination and pulls you in go to Amazon.com and buy Starlight Tucker's "The Trouble With Dreamers"

Aviva Treger "Wake Up To Yourself" An Interview with Aviva Treger by Jason E. Foss

                                                                                     AVIVA TREGER

                  Great Writers have such a unique imagination that their words have the ability to open up a readers imagination page after page until the end.  I enjoy finding out what motivates some of these great writers to write so well.  One of these unique Authors Aviva Treger was more than willing to let us in on what motivated her to write her newest story "Wake Up To Yourself"."

                                                                                                                Jason E. Foss



Jason:                               "Your short story 'Wake Up To Yourself' has recently been republished in an anthology available on Amazon - 'The Corona Book Of Science Fiction'. What's the story about? (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Corona-Book-Science-Fiction-stories-ebook/dp/B07H3X82M6)

Aviva:

                                          "Set within the next fifty years, it's about a treatment for insomnia which induces pleasant dreams; however it does so in a healthcare system where medical staff are less humane. I wanted to create stark contrast between a gleaming futurist sci-fi world and the dark subconscious human mind. The story has a sharp twist at the end."

Jason:                                "You're a new writer - you only started two years ago. What inspired you to begin?"

Aviva:

                                           "I believe writers are born not made; some start late because they're procrastinators. Many were precocious readers as children - at nine years old, I was reading classic novels like 'Jane Eyre' and 'Wuthering Heights'. I began writing in order to pay homage to authors who've inspired me. This impact isn't limited just to books - I'm also obsessed by favourite artists, musicians and songwriters, many of whom have influenced my stories."

Jason:                                 "What do you want to achieve with your writing?"

Aviva:

                                            "My favourite genre style is magic realism. I'm interested in symbols and archetypes, dreams and visions. I want my reader to perceive other realities under the surface of my writing. My goal is to affect and haunt the reader. I also pay homage to my home town by setting all stories there. I was born in Hastings in East Sussex (UK) which is a place with significant history and atmosphere. I love the countryside around Hastings - its woods, glens and caves. The local landscape is a compelling presence in all my stories; a living breathing character in its own right."

Jason:                                  "Where do you get your story ideas from?"

Aviva:

                                             "Finding ideas for fiction is the easiest part. However, a story concept needs to be actionable, and characters must have clear motivation or the story won't progress. So not all ideas can be dramatised, and some are just cliches lacking in originality. In my opinion, the best stories are the most deeply human ones and have the simplest, most truthful core. Some story ideas won't allow you to tell them, however hard you try; so it's best to keep an open mind regarding what you think you want to write about."

Jason:                                   "What advice would you give to new writers?"

Aviva: 

                                             "In theory, anyone can write. In practice, the craft of writing can be learnt; but often writers possess an instinct, an intuition which can't be taught. Writing is an art form but not everyone has the sensibilities of an artist. Having said that, here  are my suggestions - read the kind of books you'd like to write but then re-read them to dissect how they've been constructed. Notice how obstacles, tension and motives make drama come alive. The best advice I can give new writers is to allow your imagination to surprise you. Writing can't be controlled. It can't be switched on or off. When you board the Writer's Train of Thought, you won't know where it's taking you. This is part of the process! And, apparently, part of the fun." 

                                                                                      CLOSING

                 "Aviva has been reading classic novels since she was 9 years old.  That is great to hear that she is motivated to write to pay homage to Authors that inspired her.  She also shows a lot of love to her hometown in Hastings, East Sussex in the UK, which is where she sets the location for all of her stories.  Just like an Author's motivation to bring life to a great story is very important Aviva also let us know that the characters themselves must have a clear motivation in order for the story to Progress.  Readers that want to get a taste of Aviva's ability to take your imagination and take it even further go to her link and buy "The Corona Book Of Science Fiction and read her story "Wake Up To Yourself"."

Sherrie Brown "The Eternal Knot Series: Samantha Time Travel" An Interview with Sherrie Brown by Jason E. Foss

                                                                                     SHERRIE BROWN

                 "There are so many qualities that make a great Author.  I like to find out what Motivates them to write great books.  Sherrie Brown brought an amazing character to life Samantha from Book 3 of The Eternal Knot Series.  She was happy to let us know what motivated her to write Samantha: Time Travel and also shared details about this great story."

                                                                                                               Jason E. Foss 

 Jason:                    "Out of the Eternal Knot Series what motivated you to write "Samantha Time Travel"?"

Sherrie:

                                "I have always been interested in Vikings and their way of life. While I was writing about King Roan, Samantha’s story popped into my mind and wouldn’t leave until I told her story."


Jason:                     "For the Readers that want to buy "Samantha Time Travel" briefly describe this book and can they buy it first or do they have to buy another book from The Eternal Knot Series first?"

Sherrie:

                                 "Samantha is a realtor, living and working in San Antonio, Texas. When her time to travel arrives she travels to 800AD Viking time. She finds out Vikings are not as they are portrayed in history. Samantha learns that sometimes finding your soulmate doesn’t make life easier just different. She must decide if she wants to compromise her values and become a second wife or live life as a single warrior, a shieldmaiden."

                                 "The Eternal Knot Series is written as a stand-alone so that they can be read in any order.  Each book in the series follows a different person’s adventure. King Roan introduces the readers to the eternal knot necklaces and their ability to transport the wearer to their soulmate. The rest of the series follows nine women and their adventures. These books begin just before nine friends take a trip to England. While there, they are each transported to a different time and place in search of their soulmate."

 Jason:                     "Tell me about Samantha. Tell me what this character's biggest strength is and what do you like most about her?"

Sherrie:

                                 "Samantha is a strong woman who is tired of men expecting things from her. She wants to be valued and loved, yet she doesn’t understand her worth. Samantha is capable of more than she realizes and soon finds out that she can be a strong warrior without compromising her values. What I like most about her is she isn’t afraid to stand up for what she wants or believes in."

Jason:                       "Samantha looks like a Beautiful Warrior. How did you come up with the Book Cover and would you like to see "Samantha Time Travel" translated into a Movie?"

Sherrie:

                                   "The book cover was fun to create. However, it was hard to find the perfect women who showed strength and beauty without being overly sexy. I had a picture of her in my mind and searched until I found an image that matched the strong, beautiful woman, I saw in my mind.
I would love to see Samantha come to life in a movie. She would be a good role model for young women. But I’m sure they would change the story because my books are clean stories."

Jason:                       "For your Fans and Book Lovers that want to buy "Samantha Time Travel," where can they buy this amazing book?"

Sherrie:

                                  "All my books can be found on Amazon and on most of the other retailers.  The following is a link that will send you to most  retailer’s sites.  http://books2read.com/Sam3  

                                  My website also has links for each of my books

Kathleen Jones "Love Is The Punch Line" An Interview with Kathleen Jones by Jason E. Foss

                                                                                  KATHLEEN JONES

            "Everyday we are writing a story of our life.  Trying to figure things out.  Sometimes great writers can help us along the way.  A great story can help us with our own.  I like to find out what motivates great Authors to bring a great story to life.  Kathleen Jones is an Author that does just that.  She was able to share with us where she got her motivation from."

                                                                                                                                    Jason E. Foss



Jason:                          "What motivated you to write "Love Is The Punch Line"?"


Kathleen:

                                      "A relationship I had with a boy in middle school inspired me to write this novel.  Virtually every afternoon for three or four months,  he would walk home from school with me, always trying his hardest to make me laugh, creating nicknames for me and devising amusing songs about me, often snatching the little round green leather hat off my head (It was mid-winter) and kicking it across the street like a football.  In other words, this handsome and smart boy used his wonderful gift for humour to flirt with me!  I didn't mind the teasing at all; it was good-natured and he made me laugh."


Jason:                          "Briefly tell us about "Love Is The Punch Line"?"


Kathleen:

                                      "Middle-aged stand-up comedian Josh Steinberg, formerly the star of his own popular TV Series, finds himself struggling to keep his career alive, playing seedier and seedier clubs.  Plump, balding, and plain-looking, he has never had much luck with the women.  That is, until Josh meets Holly Brannigan while performing his stand-up act in a comedy club.  Holly, an attractive, intelligent, and divorced 50 year-old businesswoman, becomes instantly smitten with Josh and even finds his unconventional looks wildly sexy."

                                       "The lonely and vulnerable Josh soon falls in love with Holly, even though she's not the statuesque type he usually goes for.  But Josh, terrified of being hurt and discarded by yet another woman, hides his true feelings for Holly by making fun of her in his stand-up act.  And Holly, taking Josh's words to heart, starts to wonder if she means anything to him at all."


Jason:                             "Describe Josh and Holly's attraction toward one another and tell us what you like most about working with those two characters."


Kathleen:

                                        "Josh is attracted to Holly's intelligence and kindness; he also likes the fact that she "gets" him.  Holly is attracted to Josh's warmth, sense of humor, and vulnerability.  I enjoyed working with these characters because they were realistic and flawed but also loveable."


Jason:                             "Are you working on another book?  If so, what can you share with us about it?"


Kathleen:

                                        "Yes, I am writing a second novel.  It deals with the cruel way the modern corporate world treats its employees."


Jason:                              "What is the easiest way to buy copies of "Love Is The Punch Line"?"


Kathleen:  

                                         The book is available in both paperback and ebook formats from the following:

L.C. TAYLOR "Mystic Valley Shifters: Whispers Book 4" An Interview with L.C. Taylor by Jason E. Foss

                                                                                              L. C. TAYLOR


                 "What motivates great Writers to create stories that open the imaginations of book lovers everywhere.  I am always looking to find this out from some of my Favorite Authors.  L.C. Taylor are one of those amazing Authors.  She successfully created a Series and her new Book 4 shows the same intense connections and she shows no sign of slowing down.  How does she do it?  Well L.C. Taylor was nice enough to give us an idea of what Book 4 is about and also why it was a must to keep this great Series going."

                                                                                                                    Jason E. Foss



Jason:                     "What motivated you to write "Mystic Valley Shifters" Whispers Book 4?"


L.C.

                                "Mystic Valley Shifters was a very planned out series. Once I created Book One’s characters and plots, I knew everyone introduced would need their own story. Whispers: Book Four was always meant to be Kai’s story. Right from the beginning she was introduced as the sarcastic twin to book one’s main character – Jensen. She was fearless, tough, and one of the guys! With out giving any spoilers, she knew from the beginning who her destined mate was; however, being stubborn she refused to need a man. Fans loved her as a secondary character in books 1-3, so getting her own story was a must."


Jason:                       "Does Kai remind you of yourself at all. If so what are some of the reasons why you can relate to Kai?"


L.C.:

                                  "I guess in some respects she reminds me of myself. She’s sarcastic, stubborn, and fearless – but most importantly, she loves her family. These are traits I embody, so bringing her character to life was easy for me. I wanted to make her seem like one of the guys, but showing her soft side too."


Jason:                       "It seems like Kai and Carter have a lot going on. Explain the relationship and attraction between Kai and Carter?"


L.C.:

                                  "Whew, that’s an understatement. Right from the start of this series, readers will pick up on the tension between them. As a shifter, destined mates are hard to ignore – but Kai, being stubborn refuses to acknowledge the connection. When she finally does, the roles are reversed, and Carter gives her a dose of her own medicine – unintentionally. The sexual tension between the two jumps off the pages, and as a reader you’ll want to smack them senseless."


Jason:                      "For all of your fans and readers what do you like most about Whispers Book 4 that your present and future readers can look forward to?"


L.C.:

                                  "I like that you will get to see the softer side of Kai in book four. It demonstrates a woman can be tough and girly without having to change who she is. The best part about book 4, is you’ll finally get some unanswered questions resolved – plus a sneak peek of book 5 is enclosed. And who doesn’t love a sneak peek?"


Jason:                        "For your fans and book lovers that want to read 'Mystic Valley Shifters; Whispers Book 4" where can they go to buy it?"

Linda Lingle "Dear Heart" An Interview with Linda Lingle by Jason E. Foss

                                                                                       LINDA LINGLE

            "There are so many great writers out there that can really take you into a whole new place.  No matter what you're going through you can get lost into their words.  I like to look for some of my Favorites to see what motivated them to write such an original story.  Linda Lingle is one of those Authors.  She was nice enough to answer a few questions for us to find out what motivated her to write such a great story."

                                                                                                                   Jason E. Foss


Jason:               "What motivated you to write "Dear Heart"?"


Linda:            

                           "I awoke on the morning of my fortieth wedding anniversary thinking about all of the ups and downs my husband and I had survived, and about how love had changed for us as we weathered the bad times and the challenges of day-to-day living. Then, I began to wonder how life would have been if romantic love had lasted forever. The next thing I knew, I was sitting at my lap top, writing the first chapter of Dear Heart."


Jason:                "Deirdre and Lee sound like they have a lot of chemistry.  In this passionate affair, how much is lust and how much is love?  Or do you feel they have the perfect balance of both?"


Linda:            

                            "That’s a great question, Jason.   There’s no doubt that Deirdre and Lee’s relationship is grounded in lust.   They feel an immediate sexual attraction when they meet and risk everything to act on it.   But love grows out of that relationship very quickly.   And it is both their deep love, and the memory of their ardent sexual encounters, that enables them to sustain their relationship throughout their forty-year separation.   Interestingly, Dear Heart, as narrated by Deirdre, focuses on the physical relationship, but Sweet Heart, as narrated by Lee, focuses more on the emotional connection.  I didn’t plan it that way, but that’s how it worked out."


Jason:                "You and Lumen 5 do an amazing job of creating a visual of your wonderful book.  After seeing these videos I immediately saw the possibility of the "Big Screen" or even a "Hallmark" movie.  Is that an interest of yours?"


Linda:            

                            "First, let me thank you for letting me know that the trailers for Dear Heart & Sweet Heart accomplished what I hoped they would.  I wanted the viewer to get a sense of seeing the story unfold on a movie screen.   As for your question, oh yeah, I am obsessed with seeing Dear Heart come to life on a movie screen.   Somewhere along the line as I was writing Dear Heart, I began to see it as a movie, but I knew that the story had to be fleshed out to be successful on the screen, which is why I wrote Sweet Heart.  Now that both parts of the story have been published, I’m focusing most of my attention on trying to interest a producer in the story.   I considered Hallmark early on, but there’s too much sexual content in the story for Hallmark, and you can’t tone it down because Deirdre and Lee’s relationship was built on their affair."

Jason:                "Do you have another book in the works?  And if so, what can you share about it with us?"


Linda:            

                           "I’m working on a book called Interoffice Romance, about a young man who falls in love with his boss.  The story is told through a series of emails, text messages and memoranda, which I thought was a great idea when I started, but it’s proven to be something of a challenge to incorporate the secondary characters into the story, so I’m trying to work that out."


Jason:               "For someone who wants to buy this incredible book, where is the easiest place they can buy 'Dear Heart'?"


Linda:            

                           "Both Dear Heart and Sweet Heart are available on AMAZON.

 Here are the links:

DEAR HEART:   HYPERLINK "https://amzn.to/2Pl4pez" https://amzn.to/2Pl4pez

                 "On the morning of Linda's 40th Wedding Anniversary she found the motivation to create an original love story.  She thought of all the challenges her marriage was able to withstand.  Even though her marriage proved to be Superior to any of the not so great times she was able to create a beautiful story that I believe is easily 'Movie Worthy'.  When you get a moment go to Amazon.com and buy "Dear Heart" and enjoy a great love story.  Also check out Linda's links especially the video from Linda and Lumen 5 that can give you a visual of Deirdre and Lee before you even open the book."

Sean McMahon "Fir Lodge" An Interview with Sean McMahon by Jason E. Foss

                                                                                   SEAN MCMAHON

              "There are plenty of great Writers out there.  A lot of my Favorites are so cool and down to earth and open up to their fans any chance they can.  There is one in particular that I was referred to by another great Writer.  His name is Sean McMahon.  I am determined to find out what motivated him to write his new book "Fir Lodge".  His high energy and passion for writing is hard to overlook.  I also noticed he always shows love to his Restarter community.  No wonder he has such a loyal following."

                                                                                                                Jason E. Foss
             

Jason:             "Welcome Sean!"


Sean:              "Hey Jason!  Thank you so much for having me on your blog!"


Jason:            "Anytime!  What motivated you to write “Fir Lodge”?"


Sean:             "Coffee.  Lots and lots of coffee." <laughs>

                        "It was a unique situation that led to the creation of my first novel. I was attending a friend’s thirtieth birthday at the real life Fir Lodge in Norfolk. A chance encounter led to a series of events that, to say, would be to spoil, but it led to me and two of my friends joking how it would make a good movie."

                        "With no idea on how to write a screenplay, or a novel for that matter, I began researching on how to do just that. And after writing my first page, the ideas started coming thick and fast. Before I knew it I had outlined my story. From then on out, what motivated me was the need to complete it! To bring this crazy idea into the real world. Every spare moment I had was consumed by it. It was a real labour of love.  But I think the real motivator to write it is that Fir Lodge was a story I wanted to read."


Jason:            "Your website is really cool.  Not too many people get that creative to make you feel like you're really entering the lodge.  You're book cover looks great too.  What is the main reason you go the extra mile to give your fans a great experience before they even open the book?"


Sean:              "Dude! You’re the first person to ever mention that my website is designed to simulate entering a lodge! Thank you so much for noticing, that was always my intention when building it. Of course, before the book launched, those visiting the site had no context. It was a muddle at first, trying to establish branding. So if that’s okay, I’d like to set the record straight. Fir Lodge is the name of the first book in The Restarter Series. The Restarter Lodge is the home of the Restarters, where readers (or potential readers) can go to learn more."

                         "That is very kind of you to say that I’ve gone the extra mile. From the moment I put pen to paper on this project, I wanted that to show. I wanted the cover to be vibrant, and draw people to it. After all, I didn’t play it safe with the title <laughs> but that was also intentional. I did a lot of research on cover designs, and quickly realized that my ideas didn’t match my abilities. So the first thing I did once I had a chapter under my belt was hire a cover designer. The wonderful Sam Moore took my terrible sketches and made them into what you see now."

                         "If you’re working on a book, I strongly recommend doing the same. There’s no shame in acknowledging when you need help. And the cover is super important."


Jason:              "What is your favourite thing about Hal and Kara and what is their strongest quality that separates them from the others?"


Sean:               "Oh man, my favourite thing about Hal and Kara is how different they both are to one another. I tried to craft a sort of buddy cop dynamic between them. Hal, for example, is very much clued up on movie references, cinematic tropes, and bases his entire understanding of time travel on the movies he’s seen and half-finished articles he may have read in the past, so to speak."

                         "Kara, on the other hand, is far more pragmatic. She isn’t obsessed with pop culture like Hal. I wouldn’t go as far as saying she’s overly analytical, but she keeps Hal grounded. She’ll call him out on his BS. And she has an internal strength that, as the book progresses, is going to take her character into some interesting directions."

                          "It was important to me that my characters lived in the “real world.” Our world. That Hal had seen the movies you and I have, read the books we have. I wanted the reader to feel like they were learning how the time travel scenario would play out in tandem with Hal and Kara. For the reader to know everything the protagonists know as it happens."


Jason:             "Briefly describe what "Fir Lodge" is about."


Sean:             "Fir lodge is the first instalment in a time travel adventure series. It focuses primarily on two ordinary people who are thrust into an utterly unreal scenario. Together Hal and Kara must unravel the secrets hidden within their own past in order to make sense of it all. And decide exactly what they are prepared to sacrifice to defeat a malevolent force that has already won."


Jason:            "I understand you’re currently working on your sequel? What can you tell us about it?"


Sean:             "I can tell you that writing sequels is hard, man! <laughs> The writing community warned me how hard it is to write your second book. They weren’t kidding!"

                       "Absolutely! The manuscript for the sequel to Fir Lodge, titled The Dark Restarter, is currently with my editors. Once they’ve gone through it, it will be full steam ahead. I’m hoping to get it into the hands of the Fir Lodge readership early next year."

                      " 'The Dark Restarter' is set six weeks after the events of Fir Lodge, and will serve as both a prequel and a sequel."


 Jason:            "For all your fans and the readers that want to buy your book what is the best way for them to buy "Fir Lodge"?"


Sean:             "All my fans <laughs>. Shout out to the Restarter community! Without them I wouldn’t be talking to you right now!"

                       "But it’s always an honour to earn a new reader! You can purchase Fir Lodge by popping onto Amazon and typing Fir Lodge. It’s also available digitally on kindle."

                       "That weird title really helps new readers in refining their search. Totes intentional. Sort of.
Thank you so much for featuring me Jason, absolute pleasure hanging out!"


Jason:             "Same here!  We look forward to having you back to give us some details when 'The Dark Restarter" is out!"


                                                                                 CLOSING


            So Coffee and real life events at an actual 30th birthday event at the real life Fir Lodge in Norfolk motivated Sean to write such a great book.  However the Biggest motivator is that "Fir Lodge" is a story he wanted to read.  So with no story like it he decided to take matters into his own hands and write it himself.  No wonder entering his website looks so realistic as if you are entering the Lodge itself.  His book cover is so well done thanks to Sean leaving his ideas of a vibrant cover into the hands of an excellent cover designer Sam Moore who brought his ideas to life.  If you want to read a book from an Author that puts his all into everything he works on go to Amazon.com and buy "Fir Lodge".
