Interview with Teri Wilson, One of the Authors of Christmas Actually

What can you tell us about your new release, Christmas Actually?

Christmas Actually is a collection of 11 all-new holiday romcom novellas by bestselling and award-winning authors. This project has been such a joy to work on this year. I love writing and being an author, but by its very nature, it can be a somewhat lonely profession. These past months, while we’ve all been spending time apart to keep our loved ones safe, working on a group project with authors I respect and admire so much has been a wonderful experience. I hope readers love what we’ve put together!

What or who inspired you to become an author?

I grew up as an only child and spend loads of time reading. Books have always been very special to me and being an author has always been my dream career.

What's on your top 5 list for the best books you've ever read?

Whoa, this is a tough question! Some of my all-time favorites are Little Women, Pride & Prejudice and Bridget Jones’s Diary.

Say you're the host of a literary talk show. Who would be your first guest? What would you want to ask?

My first guest would be Sophie Kinsella because she is one of my very favorite modern authors. Her books are hilarious, so I know we would have an amazing conversation, no matter what we talked about. I would probably beg her to let me co-write a book with her. Ha!

What's your favorite thing about writing?

Seeing what started as just a glimmer of an idea turn into a fully realized book.

What is a typical day like for you?

I write a lot in the mornings. I like to get up early, have coffee while I watch about 30 minutes of Hallmark Channel and then get to work! Around lunch time I will usually take a break to walk my dogs around the neighborhood.

What scene from Christmas Actually was your favorite to write?

The novella I wrote for Christmas Actually is called A Merry Royal Layover and it’s kind of like Love Actually meets royal romance. I had so much fun with it, and it’s based on a real-life experience I had during a flight delay when I was stuck in a first-class airport lounge with someone who might or might not have been Prince Harry. I documented the entire layover on my Facebook page, and going back and reading those original posts and comments was a hoot. So the part of the story when the heroine first realizes she might be sitting next to a royal prince was definitely my favorite.

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

“You can’t win if you don’t enter.” This is a quote from my days of showing dogs, and it applies to all facets of life. You can’t reach your goals unless you do the work, put yourself out there and really go for it.

Teri Wilson is the author of Christmas Actually.

Interview with T.L. Christianson, Author of Over Easy

What can you tell us about your new release, Over Easy?

Over Easy is an exciting, angsty young adult novel with dragons, a taboo romance, and mystery. It's a coming of age book from Sydney's point of view, a sixteen-year-old who's grown up traveling the world with her father. When he's injured in a motorbike accident, Sydney's eyes are opened to real dragons, betrayal, and mystery. As she struggles to navigate this new world and sort enemies from allies, she'll need to decide to become one of them or walk away for good. Over Easy is book 2 of The Dragon Born Academy – so spoilers are unavoidable – therefore, it's best, to begin with, Cracked Open, book 1.

What or who inspired you to become an author?

I’ve always been a storyteller and voracious reader. I've written poems, songs, plays, and stories since I can remember, but my first real novel was written when I was sixteen. However, I never pursued publication until after my sister and author, Annabelle Anders (Martinez), pushed me off the publishing ledge. Ann would read bits of her stories and, in turn, ask me to read some of mine. With her help and not a little amount of persuasion, I finally sought publication, finished my first book Crimson, and the rest is history.

What's on your top 5 list for the best books you've ever read?

Oooh… this is a tough one. I'm a voracious reader, and when not writing, I read about a book a day.
1. The Rowan by Anne McCaffrey
2. Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card
3. The Vampire Academy by Rachelle Mead
4. Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris
5. Contagion by Robin Cook

What's your favorite thing about writing?

Escaping reality – and hearing from readers whose lives have been helped by their little vacations into my books. Many of us have had the bad luck of being born into a broken society, broken home, or a broken body. If we can read, write, or even imagine, we can always find an escape and that is my favorite part of writing.

What is a typical day like for you?

I'm an early bird. I get up, have coffee, and go for a hike near my home – this is crucial because I don't function without exercise and fresh air. After that, I usually write or edit in my home office or, if it's warm, in my back garden. After lunch, I'll begin doing the 'other' author things such as touching base with my readers, social media and ads or other admin work.

What scene from Over Easy was your favorite to write?

My favorite scene to write was when Sydney met her biological father's grandmother and her sister – or as I call them – the Babushka's #1 and #2. These two women were written after my own Babushka/grandmother and her sister. They're gone, but I love to relive their memory in the characters I write.

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

I have two quotes that I live by:

Vincit qui se Vincit. It's Latin for 'He conquers who conquers himself.'

Qui n'avance pas, recule. It's French for 'if one does not move forward, one is moving backward."
