Interview with P. Dangelico, author of Bulldozer

What can you tell us about your new release, Bulldozer?

I’m somewhat obsessed with flawed characters placed in real word situations. Watching them grow from the experiences I throw at them fascinates me. Amanda Shaw, the heroine of Bulldozer, is very much a flawed character. She’s a woman who has faced her addiction and conquered it and now that her life is finally running smoothly she stumbles into love.

What or who inspired you to become an author?

Nora Ephron and Nancy Myers, two women working in the very male dominated film industry that wrote and still write, in the case of Nancy Myers, real world stories about women.

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

Top five books…this is the toughest question. I have very eclectic taste so I would have to say. The Reader by Bernhard Schlink. Pride and Prejudice Jane Austen. The Star and the Shadow by Laura Kinsale. Watership Down by Richard Adams. Catch 22 by Joseph Heller.

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 God. The question would be, why?

What's your favorite thing about writing?

My favorite thing about writing is hearing the characters come to life in my head. They’re dying to tell me their stories. Sometime I feel like Whoopi Goldberg in the movie Ghost. The voices never stop and I’m grateful for that.

What is a typical day like for you?

I’m not an early riser. I often work/ write until 3 am. I wish I could get my brain working early, around 6 am as many of my author friends do, but it never happens. So I’m usually writing by 9:30. In late afternoon I check social media and answer emails and after dinner I write or outline until the wee hours.

What scene in Bulldozer was your favorite to write?

My favorite scene in Bulldozer is the meet-cute. The heroine walks into the house and finds the hero naked (with the exception of the little kid sunglasses he’s wearing) while he’s staring into refrigerator. She thinks he’s a squatter. It’s what started me on the road to writing these characters and is by far one of my favorite scenes ever.

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

I don’t really have a motto. Although I truly believe you can never edit too much. And don’t listen to the naysayers––EVER. If you love to write keep writing.

Interview with Diane Lowman, author of Nothing But Blue

What can you tell us about your new release, Nothing But Blue?

Nothing But Blue tells the story of the ten weeks I spent working on a German container ship in the summer after my sophomore year at Middlebury College - with a mostly male crew. We sailed from New York to Australia and New Zealand via the Panama Canal- and back.

What or who inspired you to become an author?

My Papoo - Greek for grandfather - was an uneducated but well read immigrant. He wrote poetry to us all the time. His words, and those of the many great authors I admire, inspired me.

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

Shakespeare’s plays- my favorite changes daily.

Ulysses- James Joyce

Dr. Zhivago- Boris Pasternak

White Noise - Don Delilo

Catch 22 - Joseph Heller

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

In my dreams, Shakespeare. I’d ask how he did it. In reality, I’d interview Haruki Murakami and Jonathan Franzen together and ask them about how their styles have evolved over their careers

What's your favorite thing about writing?

How absolutely cathartic and therapeutic it is

What is a typical day like for you?

I’ve just returned from England where I earned an MA in Shakespeare Studies at the Shakespeare Institute in Stratford Upon Avon. So days until recently have been those of a student - lectures, research, and writing papers and more papers! I’m readjusting to life in the States by practicing yoga (I’m an instructor) and writing daily.

What scene in Nothing But Blue was your favorite to write?

The first, where I board the ship with my family and realize what I’ve gotten myself into, and the one where an angry crew member almost threw me overboard

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

It very much stems from yoga teachings - Live mindfully, with compassion for yourself and others

Interview with Jordan Petrarca, author of Mafia University

What can you tell us about your new release, Mafia University?

Mafia University was an idea I came up with 15 years ago when I was at college. My frat brothers and I were obsessed with the movie “Goodfellas” at the time, so we came up with mobster nicknames for ourselves which I eventually turned into a story. I finally decided to make it into a book and I’m very proud how it turned out. The story mixes the college experience and the mafia lifestyle together in a unique way and I hope that readers will be entertained and appreciate its original storyline.

What or who inspired you to become an author?

When I was in sixth grade, I wrote a play called “The Murder of Big Bird” about the assassination of Big Bird on Sesame Street. My English teacher liked it so much that she had me cast some of my classmates and perform it in front of the class. From then on, I knew I had a talent for storytelling. For the longest time I wanted to be a screenwriter, but after I read about thirty books in a year, I decided that I could write one. I just want to entertain readers with my original storylines the same way I have been entertained by all the great books I’ve read in my life.

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

Top Five Books in no particular order... “The Godfather” by Mario Puzo, “Omerta” by Mario Puzo, “The Stand” by Stephen King, “A Game of Thrones” by George R.R. Martin, and “Charlotte’s Web” by E.B. White

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

If I hosted a literary talk show I would want my first guest to be Mario Puzo, because to me, he wrote the most iconic book in history, “The Godfather”. I know he is no longer with us, but I would love to sit down with him and talk about “The Godfather” for the entire show. I would ask him what inspired him to write organized crime stories and I would ask him how he came up with some of the best characters to ever be written down on a page.

What's your favorite thing about writing?

My favorite thing about writing is dialogue. I love writing conversations and I feel like that is my strongest aspect of my writing. When someone reads a book of mine and says that my dialogue made it feel like it was real, it puts a special smile on my face.

What is a typical day like for you?

A typical day for me is waking up early in the morning and lying in bed with my wife and twin girls, before I go to my full time job working with autistic children. After work, I pick my girls up from their grandmother’s and I spend time with them until they go to bed. When my girls go to sleep, I either read or write, then watch a show or two before bed with my wife.

What scene in Mafia University was your favorite to write?

My favorite scene I wrote in Mafia University was when one of the villain mobsters from New York City shows up at the university the story takes place at and visits a backroad country bar in the middle of nowhere. A conversation between a city guy like him and a bunch of hillbillies was hilarious to me. It was a lot of fun to write.

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

I live one day at a time and try to be the best father and husband I can possible be.
