Interview with Bobby L. Butler, Author of The Procrastination Solution

What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write The Procrastination Solution?

I spent 43 years in sales, business ownership, and leadership across seven industries — and I procrastinated through a lot of it. Not because I was lazy, but because the pressure, uncertainty, and demands of high-stakes work made avoidance feel safer than action. I'm also an introvert who built a career in professions that demand constant human engagement, which added another layer. Over time, I developed strategies that actually worked — not theories, but real solutions forged in the daily grind. This book is what I wish someone had handed me decades ago.

If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of The Procrastination Solution, what would they be?

Since the "main character" is anyone fighting procrastination, I'd go with "Don't Stop Me Now" by Queen for the momentum chapters — and "Under Pressure" by Queen and David Bowie for the chapters on why we stall in the first place.

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

Self-help, personal development, and business.

What books are on your TBR pile right now?

Build the Life You Want by Arthur C. Brooks and Oprah Winfrey.

What scene in your book was your favorite to write?

Three stood out. The Habit Loop in Chapter 1, because it's the moment readers realize procrastination isn't a character flaw — it's a pattern they can interrupt. The Distraction Audit in Chapter 2, because it makes the invisible visible — most people have no idea how much focus they're losing until they track it. And the Procrastination Toolkit in Chapter 4, because that's where strategy meets action and readers walk away with something they can use immediately.

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

I write best with classical music playing in the background — Mozart is my go-to. Without it, I focus on the sound of my keyboard keys clicking. That rhythmic clicking actually propels me forward, especially when I'm in a writing zone.

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

"It's better to be busy than bored." I've been self-employed for about half my professional life, and when you're an entrepreneur, business can swing up or down dramatically. This motto keeps me engaged, focused, and productive — even on the slow days.

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

Procrastination looks different for everyone, and your solution must fit your real life. Setbacks aren't failure — they're data. Progress, not perfection, is the goal.

Interview with M Guida, Author of The Mirror of Blood and Madness

What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write The Mirror of Blood and Madness?

I loved Disney’s Alice in Wonderland, but I always wanted Alice to end up with the Hatter. I had a character from a previous book lost in the Elder Dimension—my version of Wonderland, and I made him the Mad Hatter. Readers always wanted to know what happened to him, so they find out in this one! And now, Alice and Hatter get together and have a HEA.

If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of The Mirror of Blood and Madness, what would they be?

Alice is a warrior. She’s a fighter, so I would pick The Last of the Mohicans theme. Alice uses a magical bow and arrows, and she can stop time.

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

Right now, I like Romantasy and Thrillers. I’m in the middle of the Throne of Glass series and The Housemaid, and I’m almost done with The Hand.

What books are on your TBR pile right now?

I definitely need to finish the Throne of Glass series. I have many books on Audible—I love listening to a good narrator! The books on my list include The Ever King by L.J. Andrews, King of Frost and Shadows by Jen L. Grey, and A Court This Cruel and Lonely by Stacia Stark—these are just a few!

What scene in your book was your favorite to write?

There are so many, but probably when she falls through the looking glass and the Hatter catches her.

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

I like to watch paranormal shows when I’m writing. Right now, I’m back to watching Supernatural. I love Sam and Dean. That show always reminds me of my sister, and since I’m the oldest, I’d protect her just like Dean protects Sam.

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

Whenever I was troubled, my mom would always say This Too Shall Past. It helps me get over life's hurdles.

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

If you believe in six impossible things before breakfast, you can overcome anything!

Interview with A.S.R. Gelpi, Author of A Land of Mist and Loss

What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write A Land of Mist and Loss?

Kharis is a character in a short story I wrote way back in middle school. She stuck with me, and little by little, I worked on her backstory. As for the story behind the story, it is a story about a girl (now a young woman) who, against all odds, will change her destiny.

If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of A Land of Mist and Loss, what would they be?

Anything by Audiomachine, honestly. Next would be Aurora, and Running with the Wolves comes to mind.

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

I love speculative fiction the best. I enjoy fantasy and science fiction, and fantasy is the genre I love to write.

What books are on your TBR pile right now?

Don’t Let the Forest In by C.G. Drews; The Poet Empress by Shen Tao; The Everlasting by Alix Harlow; Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir; Age of Swords by Michael Sullivan.

What scene in your book was your favorite to write?

There were so many, but my favorite is when the MFC goes climbing trees to get eggs. A branch breaks, and she falls, but the MMC breaks her fall, and the banter between them starts here.

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

No quirky habits, I’m afraid, but I do love to have a cup of coffee or tea before I sit down to write.

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

Words conjure worlds.

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

That Kharis will always choose the right thing, even when it costs her.

Interview with Denise Critchley, Author of The Parsley Bed

What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write The Parsley Bed?

Provoked by the reversal of Roe v. Wade.

If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of The Parsley Bed, what would they be?

Cedar, the main protagonist, would have “Dog Days Are Over” by Florence + The Machine; her mother, Myrcia, would have “Gypsy” by Stevie Nicks.

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

Yes, I love witchy-related fiction or anything with a bit of crime.

What books are on your TBR pile right now?

Lady Macbeth by Ava Read and Hagitude by Sharon Blackie.

What scene in your book was your favorite to write?

Without wanting to give away any spoilers, there is a scene in The Parsley Bed where Cedar is confronted by her antagonist. This flicks the switch on the darker side of her magick abilities, which was delicious to unleash.

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

I have a set of writing mugs, which I’ll only drink out of on my writing days. My husband sighs a lot at this ritual as he’s always making the coffee in the wrong mug.

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

I recently set my writing intentions for 2026, and one of them was to remember to dig into the craft to feed my soul. It’s my way of escaping and keeping sane.

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

Never surrender your voice. United, everyday people can wield extraordinary power to reshape decisions they believe should be challenged.

Interview with Lexxi James, Author of Sealed

What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Sealed?

This book came from a place I think a lot of people quietly live in—that space where love has already left a hole in your heart, and you’re not sure you’re brave enough to believe in happily-ever-afters again. I wanted to write a deeply moving second-chance romance.

For Harrison, love isn’t about replacing what was lost. It’s about learning how to love again after grief has rewired him. I’ve been a single mom, and my hat’s off to parents everywhere. We live for our children. Harrison’s no different. He shows up every day, even when his own heart feels hollow.

That kind of love is relentless and heroic in ways we don’t talk about enough. And this story asks a simple, powerful question: if you’re given even a sliver of a shot at happily ever after, do you take it?

If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of Sealed, what would they be?

“Gone, Gone, Gone” by David Guetta, Teddy Swims, and Tones and I.

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

I devour books. Romance. Suspense. Thrillers. All. Of. It!

What books are on your TBR pile right now?

Oh my gosh, so many. Because I do a weekly newsletter, I’ve become a reading machine. Next are The Exception by Vi Keeland, Pretty in Pink by L.J. Shen, Wicked Altar by Jane Henry, and Not Mine to Love by Rosa Lucas.

What scene in your book was your favorite to write?

I love when the Boys of Bishop Mountain come together in every book—when the men in Harrison’s life band together and completely ambush him. They circle around him, give him endless crap, and decide, for his own good, that he’s finally going to have fun. They even line up a babysitter for his kids—one of their moms—so he has zero excuses.

What I love about it is that it’s pure found family. These men tease each other relentlessly because they love each other. That’s how men show up. There’s something really magical about watching “the boys” look out for each other. Always.

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

I always think I don’t have quirks, and then I realize I can’t write spicy scenes in public places. If I’m going to burn a hole in my MacBook, I need privacy and zero witnesses.

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

If forcing my man to read romance is wrong, I don’t want to be right.

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

Love wins. Period.
