Interview with Philip Bentall, Author of Song of a Stranger

What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Song of a Stranger?

As with all my books, I start with some kind of scene in my head. It could be a conversation between two people that sets it off, or in the case of Song of a Stranger, a teacher receiving an email from a Japanese film-star asking for his help, and I go from there and see where it takes me.

What's your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?

When it comes to fiction, I read a mix of genres from noirish mysteries to writers considered more literary. My writing no doubt reflects my reading in this respect, which can make the task of specifying a genre difficult at times.

What books are on your TBR pile right now?

The Power and the Glory by Graham Greene.

What scene in your book was your favorite to write?

I’m not sure about the writing of it but when it came to reading it back it was the chapter that begins at Heathrow Airport when the main character realises things are not quite what they seem.

Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)

Not that I can think of, though sitting alone in a room for long periods of time thinking up stories might be considered quirky by some.

Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?

Not particularly, though there’s a character in Song of a Stranger who’s fond of saying, ‘if you’re not going to live now, when are you?’ which is perhaps worth bearing in mind.

If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?

When fiction feels like it really happened, although by definition we know it didn’t, and lives on in your head – as a reader, at least, that is what I hope to experience.

Interview with S.R. Webster, Author of A Girl Named Ghost

What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write A Girl Named Ghost?

The inspiration for A Girl Named Ghost came to me in an unconventional way, as most of my stories do. It all started with the title.

If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of A Girl Named Ghost, what would they be?

After reading this question, the first song that came to mind was "Little Ghost" by The White Stripes and now it's an earworm for rest of the day.

What's your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?

I'm a fan of Horror and Dark Fiction. My love for horror began when I would read Edgar Allen Poe's tales with my pet Crow, Big Fellow, perched on my shoulder. While I am a huge admirer of horror writers in general, I must admit that Clive Barker is the one who truly inspired me to become a writer myself. As luck would have it, I'm also among the small percentage of adults who experience night terrors, which often serves as a source of inspiration for my writing.

What books are on your TBR pile right now?

Weyward by Emilia Hart, The Exorcists House: Genesis by Nick Roberts, Noir: A Novel by Christopher Moore, along with many more...

What scene in your book was your favorite to write?

When it comes to my list of beloved characters, Grandma June or Juniper White takes the top spot. Writing the scene where she storms over to her neighbor's house in pursuit of her missing chocolate herbal tea was incredibly enjoyable. Grandma June has no sense of boundaries. She firmly believes that her way is the only way, and she will stop at nothing to prove her point.

Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)

I have a lot of quirks, but when it comes to writing, all I need is a quiet spot with my laptop.

Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?

There are countless quotes about the art of writing, but the one that resonates with me is, “I firmly believe a story is only as good as its villain.” – Clive Barker

If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?

My goal is for readers to leave the book with lasting impressions of my characters, keeping them in their thoughts long after they've finished reading.

What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Murder in Wacka-Doodle Florida (The Ghost & Camper Kooky Mystery Book 6)?

Its the sixth book in my ghost and camper series!

What's your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?

Detective fiction is both my favorite to read and write.

What books are on your TBR pile right now?

Robert Crais!

What scene in your book was your favorite to write?

Irma's scenes are always my favorite:)

Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?

Keep moving, don't stop...slow down, but don't stop.

If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?

I hope readers have a good laugh at the end!
