Author Interview: Chimnese Davids

Can you tell us a little bit about yourself and how long you’ve been writing?
I love the ocean I have this spot at my favourite beach where I go at times just to be at peace with my life. I see myself as a spiritual being that has a connection with God that is so strong that I can feel His presence uplift me in times of anxiety. That is where writing became my own therapy to highlight moments of myself through words that could help the next person. Most of my newer writings had changed to a different genre as poetry had become more reflective as a poet I am able to release from what’s inside me.

What is the name of your latest book, and if you had to summarise it what would you say?
The title is Muses of Wandering Passions, if I should give a short summary about the book it would be: Muses of Wandering Passions is the very definition of sadness and of loss. Its undiluted mourning grips the reader: within the starkness, the sincerity of recollections in fairness to the one causing the broken heart is touching.

The book contains the pensive reflections on a life that passed, but also the effects of it in the now. It brings a test of ability to those in need; a showdown. The reader is gently guided to assess own love. It is often better to look at the self through the eyes of others. Even though one cannot calculate happiness, lessons arise from reading this book, such as: eternal love cannot be neutralized by separation; and: the broken heart is not powerless.

The end of the road brings options: one cannot fight reality; leaving does not necessarily mean stop loving; separation does not imply forgetting; mourning is not necessarily not forgiving. The forgiving heart may mourn; but even more, must mourn, in order to heal, finally. Only then the spirit may grow beyond that which seemed to be so devastating, so destructive. It is often so that the heart in mourning is taught to feel all emotions, in order to really understand and relate to the sorrow of others. In fact, this is crucial for anyone in any relationship.

This book is a journey into a soul; a demonstration of how the heart is predestined to heal itself; understanding life by accepting strife.

Where did you come up with the idea to write your book?
I don’t think it was as much the idea for the book; it was more about having a guide for other’s to read. When I send my first few poems to the publisher I was sceptical about it seeing as so many publishers had turn me down not for the fact that my work wasn’t good, but because they just didn’t think much of poetry, but what editors and publishing houses forget they need to give any writer the chance whether poet or novelist. When I got the reply back that they want to publish me I knew that this book will change lives of ordinary people. So I don’t think it was the idea behind the book, but the reason of why it had to be published.

What was the hardest part of writing your book?
The hardest I would say would be the content of each poem, because each poem was written with an emotion or a feeling I was going through. As most would say the poet is connected to the soul. And this book has my soul written on white pages…

Do you have plans for a new book?
Yes I do. I happened to take part in the Nanowrimo and completed my first novel, but the book ended up becoming a series which I am also currently working on. I think 2013 will be a good year for this writer/poet.

Can you describe the feeling you had when you saw your published book for the first time?
I was exited I was through the moon, my tears couldn’t stop falling. Having been rejected so many times this was definitely my breakthrough. Most importantly I thank God for giving me this opportunity to reach my childhood dream.

Is there a word, phrase or quote you like?
“Change is possible if you allow it to happen. Nothing in life is constant it’s always evolving and that’s how life happens for me. That through my adversities I can reach new heights.”

What piece of advice would you give to a new writer?
Don’t be frightened to do what you enjoy most. Take that chance you might never know how much it would help you in the future if you want to become a published poet/author.

Her debuted poetry and prose collection, "Muses of Wandering Passions" is her first book published.

Her editor and publisher (KREATIVSA~ August 2012) said that the book would be a guide to her readers to find hope in their own strength and how the heart can heal itself in time with the true nature of her spiritual journey that would take the reader to places they've never searched within themselves.


Muses of Wandering Passions are about love and love lost, chasing your dreams and never giving up. Starting with Finding a Feather in my Path. It speaks of hopes and dreams and of people who want to crush those dreams.
Moving on to Can't Breathe without You where Davids speaks of a lost love and trying to move on. Open Road goes on to speak about the changes that we can make in our lives just with the choices we make. I could go on and on about this. However I will leave it there. I recommend this not just because I know the author but because I truly believe in the words that have been written.

Heartbreaker Blog Hop

Thanks to everyone who stopped by to comment! I had a lot of fun. Congratulations to Sebrina who was the randomly chosen winner of The One Knight Collection. I hope you enjoy it!

Are our heroes heartthrobs or heartbreakers? Or are they just the same thing? Yummy right? Valentine's Day is just around the corner for this blog hop and we're gearing up to see what exactly is a heartbreaker. Is the song playing in your head line mine? "Cuz he's a heartbreaker!" We love those sexy men, but what about those times in the story when they aren't perfect. Because come on, we know they aren't perfect. What makes those men heartbreakers? What can those guys do to make it better? Is there a way to grovel? Come on! Tell me about your heartbreaker!!

Almost 300 bloggers have giveaways and posts about those men we love! 

But that's not all....

We have THREE grand prizes. You as a reader can go to EACH blog and comment with your email address and be entered to win. Yep, you can enter over 200 times!

Now what are those prizes?

1st Grand Prize: A Kindle Fire or Nook Tablet

2nd Grand Prize: A $100 Amazon or B&N Gift Card

3rd Grand Prize: A Swag Pack that contains paperbacks, ebooks, 50+ bookmarks, cover flats, magnets, pens, coffee cozies, and more!

When I signed up for this blog hop, it occured to me that I'd never written a true heartbreaker. Oh, all my heroes are sexy and wonderful but they mostly fall into the brooding, tortured catergory. However, my current WIP (currently unnamed - Borderland Legacy Book 2) is my first try at a man who has most definitely left a trail of broken hearts behind. And my heroine, Lucy, fears that she may become another one of those ladies. Here's a little snippet (please bear in mind this hasn't been edited yet!)


       “You care a great deal about the ‘other women’. ‘Tis odd when you profess to care little about my affairs.”
       “I care not what you do. You are a free man and may lie with whomever you choose.”
        His lips slanted into a wry smile. “And yet the mere mention of other women sparks anger in your eyes. I told you before, your eyes give you away. ‘Tis more than indignation that ignites the fire in you,‘tis jealousy.”
     “Jealousy?” she spluttered. “Why should I be jealous?”
     As he leaned closer, Lucy backed away, gasping with surprise as her back hit the cold stone wall. With nowhere to escape, Dominic moved closer still, bringing his mouth to her ear. His cheek brushed hers and she shuddered as his breath whispered over her.
     She supposed she could probably shove him away but her hands would not cooperate and instead clung to the stone, as if the rock could provide her with some kind of strength to deny him. So easy. It would be so easy just to turn her head and kiss him. It would take only the smallest of movements.
     His lips grazed her exposed neck, so briefly that she would not have been sure it happened were it not for the scalding imprint his mouth left. “You are jealous because you wish to be one of those ladies,” he breathed into her ear.
     She gulped and shook her head but any words of protest died on her lips as his hand came up to the other side of her neck and curled domineeringly around it.
     He kissed her ear. “But ‘twill not happen.” He kissed again as she frowned. “For you would not be just one of those ladies.” His lips sealed around her lobe, nipping briefly at it and extracting a choked cry from her. “You would be the only lady.”

So what do we think? Have I created a heartbreaker? I hope so. You'll have to find out for sure when my lovely Dominic is finally in  print. Don't forget to comment with your email address to be in with a chance of winning those fab prizes as well as a copy of The One Knight Collection.

Excerpt: Home Run From Heaven by Kevin Travis

Hey guys, my fab friend Kevin Travis is kindly sharing an excerpt from his book, Home Run From Heaven. Enjoy!
_________________________________________________________________

CHAPTER 1

       THE HAIRS ON THE BACK OF MY neck stand up.  A big smile forms on my face.  I know he is right here with me.  He is always there for me.  Right when I need him.  You will know what I mean by the end of this story.

        Lying in the lush, green grass near my dad’s grave, using my baseball glove as a pillow, I gaze into the clouds above me.  The sun beats down on my face.  Sweat beads up on my forehead.  The sweet smell of springtime is in the air.  A gentle breeze rustles the leaves.  Squirrels are scurrying about in the distance.

        My trusty bat, the “Golden Hammer,” is perched against a nearby tree.  The bat, named in part because of my dog, Thor, an energetic Golden Retriever, is rarely far away from me.  Thor, the God of Thunder, was known for his mighty hammer.  Combining that with my Golden Retriever, I came up with “Golden Hammer.”  I know it’s kind of corny, but I like it.

        The bat and Thor have proven to be really good to me.  My mom often jokes that I probably sleep next to my bat in bed.  She’s close.  It’s always right by my bed, always within reach.  Just like Thor.

        About an hour earlier, I left the ballpark after helping to lead the Hudson Redmen to our twelfth straight victory.  I’m a freshman and I’m already playing on the varsity team.  When I first made the team, some people in town said that the only reason I made it was because my dad, Don, used to play Major League Baseball.  He was never a star, but he had some memorable games with the Cleveland Indians and the St. Louis Cardinals.  My dad is gone now.  I really miss him.  I’ll tell you a little bit about my dad − my hero − in a little while.

        Just one week into my first season, some of the skeptics who didn’t think a freshman should be playing on the varsity team changed their minds.  I had three hits in my first game, including a home run in my very first at bat.  My home run ball smashed the windshield of my math teacher’s car in the parking lot.  I sort of felt bad about that, but it was a doozy!

        We are having one of the best seasons in school history.  The Redmen are 21-2 and we’ve been playing solid ball. I’ve done pretty well, hitting .427 with fifteen home runs.  I’ve already set a school record for most home runs hit by a freshman in a season.  I hit two in today’s game, one right-handed and one left-handed, but to be honest, I think the wind helped push them out of the park.  We have a huge game against Stow coming up, and we want to enter the playoffs with lots of momentum.

        I’m thinking about the game, resting my head on my baseball glove-pillow, while looking at the clouds that are dancing above me.  Some people say they can see bunny rabbits or eagles or bears in the clouds.  Me?  I see baseball players’ faces, like Albert Pujols or Derek Jeter or Josh Hamilton.  I know.  I’m strange like that.  I’m trying to make out the face in the cloud directly above me when Thor, my hyperactive puppy, snaps me out of it.

        Thor, never afraid to explore, comes barreling out of the woods, almost as if he’s chasing a dozen cats.  Galloping toward me, a huge, goofy grin plastered on his face and a huge branch clenched in his jaws, Thor doesn’t stop until he pounces on top of me, all seventy pounds of him.

         “Oomph,” I utter.  All the wind gets knocked out me.

        Not much more than a year old, Thor is big for his age.  Enormous, actually.  His paws are gigantic.  I sometimes think we bought a part-horse, part-dog when we got Thor.

         “Where were you, big boy?” I ask.

        He looks me square in the eye, tilts his head just a bit, and then does this thing with his eyebrows that always cracks me up.  One eyebrow goes up, and then the other eyebrow goes up.  One goes up, and then the other goes up.  This replays for ten times.  It almost looks like caterpillars are dancing on his forehead.

         “Did you find anything cool out there?  Did you find any prizes?”

        Thor does one more eyebrow dance, then bends his head down and gives me a giant lick across my face.

       “Thanks, pal.  I love you, too.”

       Thor has already been through a lot with me.  My mom got him for my little sister, my little brother, and me when my dad was sick.  Thor was there for me when my dad died.  I know he will be by my side for a long time.  Thor can certainly prove to be a handful, but I couldn’t ask for a better or a more loyal best friend.

Author Interview: Hywela Lyn

What is your name (or pen name) and where do you live now?
My pen name is Hywela Lyn and I live in Bedfordshire, England, although my heart remains in my native rural Wales, which inspired so much of my writing and where  I was  born and lived most of my life until my marriage to my  husband, Dave..


First off, how has your week been?
Well it’s only Tuesday today  and yesterday was a bit of a blur as I was so tired – I had a wonderful weekend at the Festival of Romance, meeting up with old and new friends, sharing a room with the talented new author Sarah Tranter, and embarrassing myself doing a couple of readings.  (Actually they went quite well, I do quite enjoy reading aloud, although I don’t’ really like standing up in public.


Can you tell us a little bit about yourself and how long you’ve been writing? Career description
I live in a small village in England, with my long suffering husband Dave,  and have a family of two horses, a rescued Jack Russell who runs the house, two horses, Harri and T’pau, and a feral stable cat. Unfortunately the horses are kept some miles from where we live and my dream is to one day have a smallholding in Wales and be able to see my horses through my own window!

As a child I loved reading and have always written stories for myself and my friends, and later had several short stories published in various magazines, including ‘The Lady’. I was never called by my first name ‘Hywela’ but always known by my middle name ‘Lyn’, so when my debut novel ‘Starquest’, was published by the Wild Rose Press, I decided to combine both names as a ‘pen name’ – but I still answer to ‘Lyn’ to my family and friends.  Although most of my writing tends to be futuristic, the worlds I create are usually untainted by crowded cities and technology, embracing the beauty and wildness of nature. My characters often have to fight the elements and the terrain itself. My heroes are strong and courageous, but chivalrous and honourable - and of course, handsome and hunky. My heroines are also strong and courageous, but retain their femininity and charm. However difficult the journey, love will always win in the end. My first novel was followed by a sequel ‘Children Of The Mist’, which although it features some of the characters in ‘Starquest’ can also be read as a ‘stand alone’ novel. I am currently working on a third story the complete the series.


Did you always want to be a writer? If not what did you want to be?
I started writing stories while in junior school and before that made up stories in my head. I’ve also  always loved horses and what I really longed to do when I left school was work in a riding stables, and although I had to content myself with  just helping out at the local riding school, while I worked as an office administrator to earn a living, I was able, after saving up for five years, to buy my first horse, a part-Thoroughbred mare called ‘Flikka’.  After several years riding ‘English’ style, I learnt to ride ‘Western’ and completed several long distance ‘endurance’ rides in Wales. I have plotted many a story on the back of a horse and although I only decided to try to publish a full length novel a few years ago, have written on and off for as long as I can remember.  Apart from riding, there is nothing I enjoy more than escaping into a world of my own creation.

Is anything in your books based on real life experiences or purely all imagination?
My settings are a mixture of personal experiences and imaginary ones.  Although I write SF/Futuristic and Fantasy, I use real landscapes as a basis for my settings, most of them based on the beautiful countryside of my native Wales. For instance, I was once standing watching the mist swirl over the mountains at sunset, and then realised it was actually snow, and as I watched the setting sun turned the flakes pink. This sparked an idea in my mind and the planet ‘Niflheim’, covered with ice, and snow that sometimes settled in a blanket tinged pink with minute plant forms. The planet was only meant to be a minor incident in ‘Starquest’, but became the major setting for the sequel ‘Children Of The Mist’.  I usually manage to have an animal of some sort in most of my stories, and most often it is a horse.  My  little endurance mare Sal (sadly now gone over the ‘Rainbow Bridge’), and my Welsh Cob gelding, Harri,  appear In the fantasy novella ‘Dancing With Fate. My ‘Prima Donna’ mare, T’pau features in the book I’m  going to work on when I’ve finished the third in the ‘Starquest’ trilogy.


Are your books available as eBooks? Were you involved in that process at all? Did you have any say in the title / cover of your book?
Starquest, Children of the Mist and Dancing With Fate are all available in both paperback and eBook format.  Starquest and Children Of the Mist were both published by The Wild Rose Press and I was quite happy to leave the technical details to  them, LOL.  However, when ‘Dancing With Fate’, which had been published as a series by TWRP, was withdrawn from paperback, as were the other nine stories in the series, I requested my rights back and re-published it on Smashwords and Createspace. The process was not too painful, thanks mainly to the guidance of the talented Miss Mae, who also designed the lovely new cover for it.  I was able to keep the title for all three books.  The cover artist for Starquest did a fantastic job, except that the heroine’s face is not as sweet as I imagined, and she  is dark haired – she should have fiery red hair.  We are able to fill in a ‘character’ sheet for our covers at The Wild Rose Press, and somehow that detail got missed, although I did state she had ‘flame coloured hair’. However the background is perfect, and the cover for Children Of The Mist was exactly as I envisaged it.

Do you read eBooks or is it paper all the way?
I love the feel  of paper books and would always want my books to be in print as well as E-format, but I have a book reader and probably read more eBooks than paperbacks these days, although I think I absorb more detail from the paperbacks.


What does your protagonist think about you? Would they want to hang out with you, their author and creator?
I think Jess from Starquest and I would get on well – there’s a lot of me in her, or rather she is me as I would love to be! I did put her through a lot though, so I think she’d be asking me a lot of searching questions. Thinking about it, I give all my main characters a pretty rough time, and I don’t think I’d really like to get on the wrong side of Kerry, even though  he’s my favourite male character.


When you started your book, did you plan on writing it as a series, or did it just grow into one?
Starquest began as a short story and grew into a novel when my heroine told me in no uncertain terms that she was not happy with the way the short story ended and there was a lot more to come. Then after finishing the novel, she decided she wanted to go back and visit her friends on Niflheim, who were facing something of a crisis. Then one of the main characters from the first book demanded his own story.  I’m pretty sure the third story will be the final one in the series, but that’s what I thought when I finished the second one!


Do you have plans for a new book?
I am desperately trying to finish the third book in the ‘Starquest’ series. I have the first draft mapped out but it’s just a matter of getting time to revise it and polish it enough to submit.


What genre would you place your books into?
Futuristic or Science Fiction Romance, although Dancing With Fate is definitely pure fantasy, and I might write another fantasy at some point, although I have another futuristic ‘on the back burner’.

Thanks so much for having me on your blog, Sam, I’ve enjoyed being in the ‘hot seat’.

Hywela Lyn spent most of her life in Wales and the beautiful countryside and legends inspired her to write. Although she now lives in a small village in England, she is very proud of her Welsh heritage and background.

She enjoys weaving romantic tales of the future, and distant, mysterious worlds, stories to truly take you 'out of this world'and beyond. Wherever the muse takes her, one thing remains constant in her writing: The power of love. Love, not only between her hero and heroine, but between friends and siblings, and for their particular world and the creatures that share it.

Author Interview: Greg Swanson

What is your name and where do you live now? 
G. E. Swanson, California’s southern central valley

What is the name of your latest book, and if you had to summarise it what would you say? 
It is Apocalypse Z. Through a twist of fate a group of young adults cross paths while trying to escape a zombie apocalypse. With only each other to count on, they stick together and head for a safe location that is over 1,000 miles away. Naturally, there are some bad guys and a whole lot of zombies they have to fight on their journey.


How long does it usually take you to write a book, from the original idea to finishing writing it? 
It can take anywhere from three to seven months. It all depends on how much time during the week I have to work on it.


Do you have plans for a new book? 
Yes, I am currently working on the second book of the series and it should be out in March of 2013. It will be titled Apocalypse Z: Uncommon Ground.


What genre would you place your books into? 
This series would probably fit best in uncensored YA zombie/horror with a little bit of love story mixed in.


What made you decide to write that genre of book? 
I actually sat down to write a story about werewolves. It was my subconscious mind that took over and made it about zombies. Every time I tried, I was pulled this direction so I just went with it.


Where do you get your book plot ideas from? What/Who is your inspiration? 
I have a basic idea when I start, but allow it to grow as I go along. There are times when a new character or idea pops into my head on the spot. If it fits and can add to the story, I roll with it.

Do you choose a title first, or write the book then choose the title? 
I will usually select the title as I write the story. It will have to be something that fits with the storyline and cover.

Do you decide on character traits (ie shy, quiet, tomboy girl) before writing the whole book or as you go along? I will make a list of the characters, their names, basic descriptions, their weapons, and what they did for work. I also make a list of their quirks and things they have in common with each other. It helps to keep things consistent and somewhat plausible in the story. After all, you can’t have someone that’s five feet tall and weighs ninety pounds wielding a three foot long pipe wrench that weighs fifteen pounds.

Have you ever suffered from a "writer's block"? What did you do to get past the "block"? 
Yes, sometimes quite a bit. I usually relax and just review what I already have written. I avoid focusing on the block and that always helps.

What are you currently reading? Are you enjoying it? What format is it?(ebook, hardback or paperback)
Do you think ebooks will ever totally replace printed books? 

Probably not in my lifetime, I think there will still be some that will hang onto the printed page. What’s giving ebooks an edge is lower cost, convenience, and a wider variety of stories from independent authors. Online book sellers see it too and are making it easier for people to publish their stories.

Author Interview: J.A. Bailey

What is your name (or pen name) and where do you live now?

My name is J.A. Bailey and I like in London in the UK.

First off, how has your week been?

Great! Not very eventful but it meant that I could knuckle down and get a good bit of writing done. Work has been busy but it's been a fun week on the whole.

What is the name of your latest book, and if you had to summarise it what would you say?

My latest title is Georgie of the Jungle. It's about a rich English woman that gets lost in the jungle. She is rescued by a gorgeous warrior who introuduces her to his tribe. From there things get very interesting...

Is anything in your book based on real life experiences or purely all imagination?

Well half and half really. A lot of it is written from my lifestyle but I have a very vivid imagination too!

How does your family feel about the book?

My family don't know I write erotica. I'm not ashamed of it at all but there are certain things a parent should never know about their daughter. And I have professional image that I need to maintain so only my partner and my publisher knows my true identity.

Do you have plans for a new book?

Absoutely, I've always got ideas buzzing around and I have a few bits that I've jotted down that I'd like to explore futher. 

What genre would you place your books into?

Erotic or more specifically BDSM Erotica

What made you decide to write that genre of book?

I follow a BDSM lifestyle and it's become very popular. I never considered that people would be interested in reading about that sort of stuff - it was always considered very hardcore but I wrote my first story and discovered that actually people loved it. I think it's great that people are so open to different lifestyles.

Do you have a favourite out of the books you have written? If so why is it your favourite?

Georgie of the Jungle is my favourite  It's a little tongue in cheek and Georgie is a bit of a spoilt little rich girl so it was fun writing about her become lost in the jungle.

How do you go about creating the perfect "Swoon" worthy man?

They have to be gorgeous - in their own individual way - with the ability to nail you down with one look. They are all authoritative and confident but at the heart of it, very caring. They all care very much for the submissive which is something people who don't live the lifestyle don't understand. Underneath it all, there's a lot of love and care.

If you couldn’t be an author, what would your ideal career be?

Well I'm an executive assistant (glorified secretary) to a big firm in London and actually I really enjoy it. The people I work with are great and it's a busy, interesting job. I get to travel and meet all sorts of people so I guess if I failed at writing, I would stick with what I'm doing now.

What are you currently reading? Are you enjoying it? What format is it?

I've just finished Nikki Sex's series, Elizabeth's Erotic Bondage. It follows a couple through a rather unusual form of therapy to get their marriage back on track. It starts with Elizabeth naked and bound to the bed!

What piece of advice would you give to a new writer?

Keep writing, don't get distracted by marketing etc. Even if you're stuck, just force it out. Something will come out and you can always go back and edit later.

Georgie of the Jungle is available to purchase on Amazon.
