Interview with Olga Tymofiyeva, Author of Just City

What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Just City?

It all started with John Rawls' mind-blowing "veil of ignorance" thought experiment. I learned about it from Professor Michael Sandel’s lectures on “Justice,” which are available online for free. Originally, when I came up with the idea for the game, I wanted to create an actual VR game. Then a board game. But later I came up with a realistic, low-budget version: writing a book.

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

Obviously, “Twenty-Something” by Pet Shop Boys for Nathan! Ha-ha

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

Non-fiction: Philosophy, Self-Help, Personal Transformation

What books are on your TBR pile right now?

Meditations by Marcus Aurelius

What scene in your book was your favorite to write?

Definitely, the fight between Nathan and Jack.

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

Writing in hotels. You can book a hotel for day use.

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

Not surprisingly, it’s in “Just City.” A quote by Professor Robert Sapolsky: "You don’t have to choose between being scientific and being compassionate."

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

See previous question.

Interview with Kirsten Pursell, Author of Long Enough to Love You

What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Long Enough to Love You?

Life! I am an empty nester and struggled with my place in life and in my marriage. Finding my own diaries (then publishing my memoir based off them) gave me the idea for Tripp. Soul searching complicated by a first love felt like the perfect storm for a fictional book about self-discovery.

If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of Long Enough to Love You, what would they be?

I created a whole playlist for this book! For the parts between Jenn and Tripp, I think the one that really fits is "Kiss Me" by Dermot Kennedy.

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

I love to read historical fiction, but I don't think I could write it. I love writing women's fiction and romance.

What books are on your TBR pile right now?

The Memory Keeper of Kyiv by Erin Litteken and Getting Lost by Annie Ernaux (a mentor compared me to her!)

What scene in your book was your favorite to write?

This was such an emotional book to write, but I think the scenes between Jenn and Tripp because they were simultaneously beautiful and heartbreaking.

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

I am constantly sending myself emails when I get a thought about something I want to write or the words finally come to me on how to say something. Those moments don't usually happen in front of the computer!

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

Yes! "Do things things that you're scared to do...Take your life and make it the best story in the world."

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

It takes courage to be true to yourself, and that it's never too late for second chances.

Interview with Sophia Stone, Author of Unpyre Revelations

What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Unpyre Revelations (Unpyre Chronicles Book One )?

I started the planning of the book shortly after I’d finished my first series (Merlyn Academy). I really wanted to experiment with a dual point of view and my two main characters, Tia and Chyros, just jumped out for me. They were a welcome distraction from the on and off lockdowns!

If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of Unpyre Revelations (Unpyre Chronicles Book One ), what would they be?

On My Way- Alan Walker

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

A tie between YA and Historical Fiction.

What books are on your TBR pile right now?

The Hunger Games Series!

What scene in your book was your favorite to write?

When the two main characters first meet.

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

I can’t seem to write without a cup of coffee. There’s something about the smell that gets me into ‘writer’ mode.

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

I quite like the Stoic philosophy for life.

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

That everyone is redeemable if they truly want to change

Interview with Tyrolin Puxty, Author of Immortal Cells

What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Immortal Cells?

It came from a one-liner from my comedy series, Colt Harper: Esteemed Vampire Cat. He mentioned he 'would hate to be thrown into the Immortal Cells.' It was a line I forgot about until a family member mentioned it. They said for a one-liner, they were keen to know more about these immortal prisons. The story flashed before my eyes and next thing I knew, I was immersed in a brand new world!

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

Yassss, best question EVER. "Start A War" by Klergy. It was streaming on a random playlist while I was writing and I thought, "wow, what a great theme song".

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

I tend to write more than I read and I definitely don't read much of the genre I write. I'm currently binging Black Crouch's back catalogue, if that gives you an indication.

What books are on your TBR pile right now?

We shouldn't talk about this...it's getting too long. I'm already cheating on several books by reading them at the same time. Don't tell them.

What scene in your book was your favorite to write?

Any scene with massive character development. I love seeing how my characters will react to a situation and how they interact with one another. I always feel like they're the ones controlling the story; not me.

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

I've recently had a baby, so all my writing habits have gone out the window. I used to procrastinate for an hour, find the right music, pop on my writing gloves, find the cat and write. Now, it's: "the baby is asleep?! I have fifteen minutes to get this idea down! Go go go!"

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

If it makes you happy, then you succeeded already.

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

One person's villain is somebody else's hero.

Interview with Lilliana Rose, Author of Shadow Wolf

What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Shadow Wolf?

The inspiration for this book came from my love of wolf shifters as characters and writing urban and paranormal romance.

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

She Wolf (Falling to Pieces) by David Guetta

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

I like to read a huge variety of books!

What books are on your TBR pile right now?

Once there were Wolves by Charlotte McConaghy.

What scene in your book was your favorite to write?

When the main characters Kodiak and Tamaska meet for the first time.

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

Not really. I used to write a lot in cafes but not any more. My two dogs keep me good company when I'm writing.

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

You walk this life once, leave footprints to be proud of.

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

To remember the connection developing between Kodiak and Tamaska.

Interview with Kally Ash, Author of The Reaper

What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write The Reaper (Mac Tíre Mafia #2)?

The Reaper was written entirely around one scene that I saw so clearly in my head before I’d even began. The scene that started it all was his love interest waiting for him on her knees, submitting to his need for control. I knew when Orin Lynch was introduced in book one of this series that he was a deeply damaged character who needed to find his redemption. I love deep diving into a character’s wound, finding their trauma and helping them heal, and that’s exactly what The Reaper is about… that and unaliving people. Lots of unaliving people.

If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of The Reaper (Mac Tíre Mafia #2), what would they be?

Orin’s would be Dark things by ADONA. Fallon’s would be Dancing with the Devil by Demi Lovato.

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

I really love a rom-com. They’re a lot lighter than what I write, and I enjoy the way they make me feel afterward—satisfied that everyone got their HEA.

What books are on your TBR pile right now?

King of Wrath by Ana Huang, The Fine Print by Lauren Asher, Terms & Conditions by Lauren Asher, Better than the Movies by Lynn Painter, The Do-Over by Lynn Painter, and Guild by Raven Kennedy.

What scene in your book was your favorite to write?

The scene that was the catalyst for this story. I could see it so clearly, and it led to a very spicy scene where I had to manage Orin’s desire to claim Fallon’s body, yet be restrained enough not to hurt her.

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

I have to write in complete silence! I think it’s because I get up at 4:45am to be writing by 5am. The house is quiet and I can’t disturb my daughter, so silence is the only way I can write. I also have an over-size cup of tea somewhere on my desk.

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

I have a couple of things that I always keep in mind: 1. Don’t get distracted by things that don’t serve you. 2. You do you and don’t worry about what other people think of you. 3. Trust in your talent.

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

Morally gray characters are more fun.
