Interview with Terence Gallagher, Author of Fujita 4

What can you tell us about your new release, Fujita 4?

The title of my book takes its name from a scale used to measure the power of a tornado. It tells the story of what happens when a high security prison in South Carolina is struck by this terrifying natural phenomenon.

What or who inspired you to become an author?

As a boy from a working-class background growing up in Dublin, my public library was my window to the outside world. Books took me to places and introduced me to characters I could never hope to meet in my real, very circumscribed, life. I thought authors were like magicians! I wanted to be one of them!

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

Germinal by Emile Zola, Riotous Assembly by Tom Sharpe, Dubliners by James Joyce, A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole, All quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque.

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

The Australian author Peter Carey. ‘How do you manage to populate your novels with such interesting and idiosyncratic characters. They seem to leap off the page !’

What's your favorite thing about writing?

I like to be able to escape into a world of my creation and interact with my characters who often take on a life of their own and end up doing things that I never had in mind for them initially!

What is a typical day like for you?

My day always starts with feeding and exercising my two Irish Setters. After that, my morning depends on whether I am in Dublin or Naples. In Dublin, the morning is taken up with gardening. In Naples, I generally run errands while I go for a bike ride. In the afternoon I write. In the evening I answer emails and likely watch a movie.

What scene in Fujita 4 was your favorite to write?

There is a scene where Rob Williams, the escaped death row convict, asks Andrew Burke, the College Professor who is helping him, why he is doing it. Describing that interaction between two of the most unlikely protagonists was a lot of fun.

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

‘Life is made up of meetings and paintings. That is the way of it’- Kermit the Frog

Terence Gallagher is the author of the new book Fujita 4.

Interview with Sarwah Creed, Author of Daily #teXXXt

What can you tell us about your new release, Daily #teXXXt?

I loved writing this book, because it was an idea that came to me and it grew into this hot, romantic sexy read, which I'm really proud of writing this year.

What or who inspired you to become an author?

Ever since I was a little girl I have written poetry and as I got older, I moved away from writing poetry to books.

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

The Bitch by Jackie Collins

I know why the caged bird sings by Maya Angelou

Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn

On Writing by Stephen King

If Tomorrow Comes by Sidney Sheldon

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

It would have to be Stephen King, my all-time favorite author. I would have to ask him, what motivates him to keep striving to be successful.

What's your favorite thing about writing?

I love having great reviews. There’s nothing more satisfying then reading reviews from readers who have read and enjoyed my books.

What is a typical day like for you?

I wake up, go for a run, then I take the kids to school (not at the moment!) and then I come home and read and write emails. Then, I write or at times I plot the next book. I break up the day, by eating and I love to go fitboxing - four times per week. I pick up the kids and I try not to get back on social media. Otherwise, it feels as if I’m working twenty-four hours per day. I try to do a couple of hours during the weekend, but no more than that. Weekends are usually spent reading, exercising and spending time with the kids.

What scene in Daily #teXXXt was your favorite to write?

The Prologue - I loved writing about Tessa and her Grandma. If you’ve read the book, then you’ll know that the scenes between her Grandma who’d stayed at the Playboy mansion and Tessa made me laugh writing and re-reading them.

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

Nelson Mandela, It always seems impossible until it’s done.

I love to challenge myself which is why I raced in the Spartan race last year. It did take three years before I had the courage to compete it, but I loved every second of it.

Never think that you cannot do anything that you set your mind to. Nothing is impossible.

Interview with Lacy Williams, Author of His Small-Town Girl

What can you tell us about your new release, His Small-Town Girl?

His Small-Town Girl is the first book in a new trilogy. In it, a heroine-on-the-run meets a rancher whose only goal is to sell grandma’s ranch and get out of town. He’s no protector, but when he discovers she’s in danger he can’t just walk away. Also, the heroine is named after one of my nieces.

What or who inspired you to become an author?

I remember writing “books” as a child. I also wrote several issues of a newspaper that I handed out to my friends to read. My parents were always very supportive and one Christmas I received a typewriter so I could write. I’m sure they spent a lot of money on cartridges! I am so thankful that they have always supported my writing.

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

My Foolish Heart by Susan May Warren
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
Take a Chance of Me by Becky Wade
The Elemental series by Sherry Thomas
The Oak Leaves by Maureen Lang

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

I would love to chat with Jill Shalvis. How does she create such fabulous secondary characters? Her books make me feel like I’m right there in the small town with the crazy great-aunt and friends that feel like family. #authorgoals

What's your favorite thing about writing?

I love discovering the story along with the characters. I do some basic plotting before the story begins, but I only get to know the characters deeply as I write the story. My husband once asked me how I can be surprised by the characters when they are products of my own imagination. I didn’t have a good answer for him. I think there’s a tiny bit of magic in writing fiction and I love finding it as the story unfolds.

What is a typical day like for you?

On weekdays, I get up between 5:00 and 5:30 am and get in two good hours of writing or author work before my kids come downstairs. When the bigger kids are in school and the little one naps, I sneak in another hour or two in the afternoons. I will occasionally be known to stay up into the wee hours to finish a book if I’m on a tight deadline. Marketing stuff and answering emails happens in small snatches throughout the day.

What scene in His Small-Town Girl was your favorite to write?

No matter what book I’m working on, my favorite scenes to write are the kissing scenes. There’s something about the tension, the will-they or won’t-they, the touch of a hand on a face… There’s so much magic that can be made in a kissing scene.

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

No regrets.
