Interview with Dr. Yvonne Kason MD, Author of Soul Lessons from the Light
What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Soul Lessons from the Light?
A dramatic Near-Death Experience in a medevac plane crash when I was a young doctor changed the course of my life, but I continued to have multiple more powerful Spiritually Transformative Experiences over the course of my life. Soul Lessons from the Light is my personal spiritual awakening stories, from childhood NDEs, to mystical experiences as an adult, to a miraculous healing experience in 2016, that enabled me to write this book...
If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of Soul Lessons from the Light, what would they be?
I can see clearly now, the pain is gone! Oh God, Beautiful! You are the Wind Beneath my Wings!
What's your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?
True stories of Spiritual Experiences that changed people's lives. This is also what I write about.
What books are on your TBR pile right now?
Multiple books by Near-Death Experiencers, and Spiritually Transformative Experience Experiencers.
What scene in your book was your favorite to write?
I enjoyed writing about all of my peak spiritual experiences. I have 2 favorites - the story of my 2003 Near-Death Experience when I was dead for a period of time, welcomed into the Light by saints from my path, remembered my past lives, and was given the choice whether or not to return to my body. My other favorite is the miraculous brain healing experience I had in 2016. It shows that miracles can and do happen!
Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)
I write with great passion. I can forget to eat, and would miss appointments if I did not set timers! In addition I often get up in the middle of the night around 3 AM, and write for an hour or two!
Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?
Yes - "With God, all things are possible" and "Never Give Up".
If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?
My Near-Death Experiences and mystical experiences have shown me first-hand that the Higher Power is real, that our souls live on after the death of the body, and with God, all things are possible. Miracles are Possible. I am a living testimonial to that!

Interview with Richard Rybicki, Author of The Green Line
What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write The Green Line?
The inspiration for the book came from a real unsolved murder in Chicago back in the 1990s.
What's your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?
I mainly read crime thrillers and mysteries. These are also my favorite genres to write. They say write what you know so I do.
What books are on your TBR pile right now?
'Wrecked' by Joe Ice and 'A Ticket to the Boneyard' by Lawrence Block
What scene in your book was your favorite to write?
The opening scene was my favorite. It's where I reintroduce the main character and the mysterious woman who sets in motion the events in the story.
Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?
Always do the right thing no matter how difficult.
If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?
No one should get away with murder.

Interview with Allyson Lindt, Author of The Layover
What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write The Layover?
I have a contemporary book world with so many interconnected characters, and sometimes side characters just scream for their own book. That was Carly. She was the BFF who wasn't afraid to speak her mind and who was happily single, so of course I had to give her her own story.
If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of The Layover, what would they be?
Carly would be Raspberry Beret. Raul and Diego... anything sweet and tender and really sexy. Like Seal's Kiss from a Rose.
What's your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?
I love so many genres, but my absolute favorites are contemporary anything--romance, fiction, fantasy--and urban fantasy. I love to write the same things I love to read, though I probably read a lot more urban fantasy than I write.
What books are on your TBR pile right now?
I'm just diving into Twilight Heist by Katherine McIntyre, and Good Girl Fail by Roni Loren. I've been looking forward to both for a while.
What scene in your book was your favorite to write?
I think the fake wedding scene, where Raul and Diego's little girl Ellie 'marries' her daddies to Carly in the old church they're turning into a restaurant. It was so much fun and such an adorable scene.
Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)
I really like to go to coffee shops to write. I have a few that I rotate through, and I prefer to be there early in the morning. A large coffee and a blueberry muffin and I'm set for words for a few hours.
Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?
Always be willing to adapt.
If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?
I always hope readers will remember my characters. That living my characters' lives with them for the hours it took to read the book will leave the kind of impression on a reader that leaves them thinking for a long time when the book is over.
