Author Interview: Mike Martin

9/30/2014

Meet Mike Martin, Author of The Sgt. Windflower Mystery Series: Beneath the Surface, The Body on the T, and The Walker on the Cape

Mike is a longtime freelance writer. The Walker on the Cape is the first book in the Winston Windflower mystery series.

BBB: What inspired you to become an author?

MM: I have always wanted to be a writer for as long as I can remember. I just didn’t know how to go about doing that. It didn’t seem a viable career option when I was young so I tried to find jobs that had an element of writing. That included correspondence and policy writing and later led to both speechwriting and editorial positions. But none of that satisfied my writing itch. Finally, one day I told my partner that I wanted to be a writer. In fact I told her I had decided that I was a writer.

Then I wrote a short piece that got picked up by a magazine for $25.00 and the rest they say is history. Except for nearly starving to death as I tried to carve out a career as a freelance writer. But I kept at it and over a period of time I did manage to eke out an existence. I have published thousands of articles in print and online since that time but I also remember the early days when I wrote for nearly nothing and got 10 rejections for every acceptance.

BBB: What books have you written?

MM: says have appeared in newspapers, magazines and online across Canada as well as in the United States and New Zealand. I am the author of a self-help book: "Change the Things You Can: Dealing with Difficult People” and I have written a number of short stories that have published in various publications including Canadian Stories and Downhome magazine.

Now I write fiction, the Windflower Mystery Series. It is a traditional mystery series, close to but not really a cozy mystery, and almost a police procedural, except that I do not know enough about policing to write that way. So I write about Windflower's adventures in discovering and enjoying the food and culture of small town Newfoundland.

There are three books in the series: The Walker on the Cape, The Body on the T, and the latest book is Beneath the Surface.

BBB: Tell us about your character, Sgt. Windflower

MM: Sgt. Winston Windflower is the ultimate outsider, an RCMP officer and a Cree from northern Alberta, who ends up stationed in small communities on the eastern tip of Canada. Yet somehow he feels right at home with the rich culture, food and history of this part of the world. Windflower may be a long way from home but he has been adopted by the locals as almost one of their own. He has a good life, good work with the RCMP, and a good woman that he has grown closer too in his years on the southeast coast of Newfoundland.

Windflower has to deal with an emerging crime wave in the region but also some challenges in his own life. He has to go back to his Aboriginal roots to find the answers to some very deep and disturbing questions. Along the way he is forced to not only fight the bad guys but also his own people and corruption at the highest levels of the police force and society.

BBB: Do you ever get writer's block?

MM: I seldom get stuck from writing completely. Maybe that’s because I always have several projects underway at the same time. I still write freelance for a number of blogs and publications and I have 6 of my own blogs to occupy my time. Social media writing is also taking up a lot of time and space and while the pieces are generally shorter for Facebook and certainly for Twitter they still take time and energy.

When I am in my book-writing mode it tends to be very intense and focused. I can’t seem to write down the words fast enough to keep up with the creative flow. It’s kind of lie a tap gets opened and everything just comes bursting out. So writing block is not my issue, slowing down the flow is more of a challenge and I am very grateful to have that problem.

BBB: What are you currently working on?

MM: I write something every day. I have six blogs that I try and maintain, although only two are active at one time. Given that I have a new book out that means writing guest blogs and articles for distribution and publication to promote Beneath the Surface, the latest installment in the Sgt. Windflower Mystery series. I am also thinking and probably writing a few notes for the next book although I try not to get formally engaged in that writing process until the latest book has been given its due and proper christening.

I am also discovering the frantic and fast-paced world of Twitter. Yes, I am a virtual virgin in the Twitterverse so that is keeping me both occupied and entertained.

BBB: How can readers discover more about you and your work?

MM: My books are available in Canada through Chapters/Indigo stores and Chapters.ca and all over the world through Amazon.com and Booklocker.com.

Author Interview: Megan Cyrulewski & Blog Tour

Meet Megan Cyrulewski, Author of Who Am I? How My Daughter Taught Me to Let Go and Live Again

Megan Cyrulewski has been writing short stories ever since she was ten-years-old. After attending Grand Valley State University, Megan eventually settled into a career in the non-profit sector for eight years. She decided to change careers and went back to school to get her law degree from Thomas M. Cooley Law School. While in school, she documented her divorce, child custody battle and postpartum depression struggles in her memoir which is slated to be published on August 2 by Black Opal Books. Megan lives in Michigan with her 3-year-old daughter who loves to dance, run, read, and snuggle time with Mommy. Megan also enjoys her volunteer work with Troy Youth Assistance.

BBB: What inspired you to become an author?

MC: I have always loved to write but it didn’t pay the bills after college! I started my career in the non-profit sector where I worked for 8 years before going to law school. While in law school, I had three years of craziness in my life.

BBB: How did you come up with the idea for your book, Who Am I? How My Daughter Taught Me to Let Go and Live Again?

MC: I wrote about it for two reasons: First, postpartum depression still has a nasty stigma attached to it and women shouldn’t feel ashamed to seek treatment; and second, emotional abuse is a form of domestic violence and can be just as fatal.

BBB: Who designed your book cover?

MC: My friend, Ksen, (http://ksenijasavic.com) a brilliant photographer, took the picture on my cover a year before I even wrote the book. I loved that particular picture so much that I had it framed and it sits on my dresser. While I was writing my book, during periods of writer’s block, I would stare at the picture. Then one day, it finally dawned on me that that picture should be the book cover.

BBB: What are you currently working on?

MC: I am working on my first fiction novel - a crime fiction. I’m pretty excited about it! Hopefully, if all goes well, it should be published next summer.

BBB: How can readers discover more about you and your work?

MC: My website has everything on it so please visit www.megancyrulewski.com to find out more information.

Author Interview: David Ebsworth

9/26/2014

Meet David Ebsworth, Author of The Jacobites Apprentice, The Assassin's Mark, and The Kraals of Ulundi: A Novel of the Zulu War

David Ebsworth is the pen name of writer, Dave McCall, a former negotiator for Britain's Transport & General Workers' Union. Dave was born in Liverpool (UK) but has lived for the past thirty years in Wrexham, North Wales, with his wife, Ann. Since their retirement in 2008, the couple have spent about six months of each year in southern Spain. Dave began to write seriously in the following year, 2009.

BBB: What inspired you to become an author?

DE: I was coming up to retirement, back in 2008, and looking for a new challenge. I have loads of hobbies – mainly swimming, sailing and reading – but I wanted to do something that would make me feel still useful though maybe a bit less stressful than my previous work as a union negotiator. I still do some voluntary work but that wasn’t enough either. And then I thought about the fact that I’ve been “writing” for most of my life, one way or the other, and wondered whether I should think about creative writing. As it happens, I already had the germ of a story floating about in my head. I’d been working in Manchester (England) and come across the story of the town’s involvement in our 1745 Jacobite Rebellion – and I was shocked that nobody had already turned it into a novel. So I started to work on some characters and basic plot lines. I loved it, found a routine that suited me and, eighteen months later, I had a 650-page blockbuster on my hands.

BBB: Where do the ideas for your stories come from?

DE: I like to tell those stories that I wish somebody else had written for me but that, so far, have been overlooked. So they’re usually periods of history that I particularly enjoy but that – in my humble opinion – have been a bit neglected by fiction writers or, perhaps, only normally told from a particular perspective. So, for example, there’ve been lots of Bonnie Prince Charlie books but none that dealt with his supporters “south of the border” in England, so the idea was born for The Jacobites’ Apprentice. And then I wanted to write about the Spanish Civil War but most fiction on the subject tends to be a bit predictable – until I came across the previously untold story of battlefield tourism during the conflict that gave rise to The Assassin’s Mark. Similarly, the 1879 Zulu War has been a bit neglected by writers and especially the final six months, so this gave me a possible setting for The Kraals of Ulundi. Once I had the setting, I decided to tell at least part of the tale from a Zulu perspective and, once I’d invented the main character, Shaba kaNdabuko, it was simply a matter of letting him loose and following wherever he led me. The fourth book is a bit the same, the Battle of Waterloo, but told through the eyes of French women who fought there in The Last Campaign of Marianne Tambour.

BBB: Do you ever get writer's block?

DE: Not really. I follow fairly a strict daily routine that goes something like this. I start work at 7.00 each morning by word-processing my hand-written copy from the previous day. That gets me started and, by the time I’ve finished, the story just keeps going from wherever I left off until I stop at about 9.30. Then it’s off to the local pool where I swim a mile and mull over the stuff I’ve just written. By 11.00 I’m in one of my favourite cafés drinking decent coffee, checking over the morning’s work, making simple corrections and then hand-writing for a couple of hours (the pages that will then start me word-processing again the next morning, of course). Afternoons and evenings are reserved for research and marketing. But everybody’s different and you have to find a system that works for you, personally. The BIG thing is to write every day. Even if it’s only for 15 minutes and even if it’s rubbish, it doesn’t matter. That’s the way to beat writer’s block. By simply writing.

BBB: What are you currently working on?

DE: That’s my Battle of Waterloo book, the title of which is The Last Campaign of Marianne Tambour. It’s based on the experience of actual women who fought in the ranks of Napoleon’s armies. Fascinating women. I’ve fictionalised them, of course, but their basic stories are true-to-life. It’s due to be published in December – in time for the 200th anniversary of that hugely famous engagement, as you’ll know. So, as part of the book, I’ve also written a travel guide so that visitors to Belgium can follow the route of the story while reading the novel itself. In addition, I’ve put together some audio tracks so that readers will be able to download the qreat marching songs of Bonaparte’s forces that I came across while writing. Finally, I’m trying something new this time. As an independent author, it’s helpful to use crowd-funding to finance the book’s publication but also to test the market in advance of publication date. I’ve never done this before but lots of other authors have used crowd-funding successfully, so I’m going to give it a whirl too.

BBB: How can readers discover more about you and your work?

DE: Well, it’s through my website, I guess – www.davidebsworth.com. But I also send out a monthly e-newsletter, only a simple thing but if anybody wants to be on the circulation list they can e-mail me on . The newsletter just keeps family, friends and supporters “in the loop” about anything that might be going on in relation to the books or my author events in the following few weeks but, of course, readers can use the e-mail address to just send me questions direct. It’s always good to hear from folks! And, finally, there are updates about the Battle of waterloo novel on my Pubslush page - http://pubslush.com/books/id/2722.

Author Interview: Jennifer Snow

Meet Jennifer Snow, Author of Mistletoe & Molly, What a Girl Wants and other stories

Jennifer Snow writes contemporary romance fiction for Harlequin Heartwarming. She is a member of the RWA, the Alberta Writers Guild, SheWrites.org and the Canadian Authors Association.

BBB: What inspired you to become an author?

JS: I have always loved books. I learned to read and write at a very young age and since then, I'm rarely seen without a pen and notebook. While on maternity leave with my son four years ago, I decided that it was time to get serious about my writing and I wrote my first holiday novella, published in November 2011 through The Wild Rose Press.

BBB: What books have you written?

JS: I published two holiday novellas through the Wild Rose Press-Mistletoe Fever and Mistletoe and Molly. Then in 2012, I published a full length holiday romance-Mistletoe Bachelors through Secret Cravings Publishing. And currently, I am writing a six book series for Harlequin Heartwarming. Books one and two-The Trouble With Mistletoe and What A Girl Wants are available now. And books three and four-Falling for Leigh and The Mistletoe Melody release this fall. Then two more next year:)

BBB: Where do the ideas for your stories come from?

JS: Everywhere. I love small towns, so I've always wanted to write a small town series. Writing the Brookhollow series has been wonderful-the characters have become a real part of my life after so much time together and I sincerely look forward to telling more of their individual stories. I've also written a lot of holiday themed stories and that's because I firmly believe that there's no better time for love and romance than the holiday season lol:) And my last name is 'Snow', and it looks good on the holiday covers.

BBB: Do you ever get writer's block?

JS: I'm afraid to say no, because it might suddenly happen...but not usually, at least not anymore. I have tough writing days, but I think once you discipline yourself to sit and write every day even if you don't feel like writing, you don't open yourself up to the excuse of writer's block. Some days the words don't flow as nicely or as easily as other days, but the trick is to just write something-however bad-you can always change, fix or delete later. I do suffer anxiety about my writing-especially when I'm not sure where a plot is heading or I have a submission out to an editor, but I just keep writing and hope for the best.

BBB: What are you currently working on?

JS: Currently, I am finishing books five and six of the Brookhollow series releasing next year and I have also started two new contemporary romance series that are currently out on submission.

BBB: How can readers discover more about you and your work?

JS: My website www.jennifersnowauthor.com is the best place to go-I have a Brookhollow blog and book trailers posted there. I am also on Facebook at www.facebook.com/jennifer-snow-books and on Twitter at @jennifersnow18. I also blog as part of the Heartwarming authors group at http://heartwarmingauthors.blogspot.com and I have a page on Amazon Author Central.

Author Interview: R.M. Clark

Meet R.M. Clark Author of The Secret of Haney Field: A Baseball Mystery

R. M. Clark is a computer scientist and adult and childrens' book writer who lives in a small New England town with his wife, two sons, one dog and one cat. He is currently at work on his latest middle grade mystery.

BBB: What inspired you to become a writer?

RMC: I've always had stories swirling around in my head, ready to be written. One winter's day I got an "aha" moment and and started plotting a story about an empty time capsule. I set out to write this novel in early 2007 and finally finished it later that year. It was not publishable, but I proved I could complete one. After I wrote another manuscript, I realized my voice was better suited to a younger audience. I kept at it and now have seven completed middle grade novels (and one in progress). It was all a matter of getting to THE END. That's key for me. Never leave a book unfinished.

BBB: How did you come up with the idea for The Secret at Haney Field: A Baseball Mystery?

RMC: I've always enjoyed the game and reading about its history. Drawing upon my nineteen years of coaching teams at various levels, I decided to write a story from the viewpoint of a girl who is a "baseball savant," because there is no reason a girl can't be a diamond know-it-all. I wanted to include some history in this novel, so I had her character connect with a Negro Leagues player from the early 1940s. This is a vastly under-appreciated era of baseball, unfortunately. Toss in an old scoreboard and an owner's regrettable mistake and a mystery was born.

BBB: Tell us about your main character.

RMC: Twelve-year-old April O'Day wins an essay contest, which allows her to be the bat retriever for her favorite minor league team for a week. She wows the team so much with her knowledge of the game that they ask her to stay for the summer. She can hold her own with the players, the coaches, and even the manager when it comes to talking baseball. When she becomes entangled in a mystery involving the owner of the team, her passion for the the game and its history help her change the past, present, and future of the main characters, her hometown, and her life.

BBB: What do you think readers will enjoy most about your book?

RMC: Although this is not your typical baseball book told from the viewpoint of a player, the story does take the reader "on the field" to experience the action of minor league baseball. It's a kid's book at heart, and the reader will enjoy going on this journey with April and her best friend, Darren Plummer, as they solve a mystery, meet fascinating people, and have the experience of a lifetime.

BBB: When will your book be available for purchase?

RMC: My book is available now. It was released on September 16, 2014.

Meet Cris Pasqueralle, Author of Destiny Revealed

I am a retired NYC police officer who has always loved reading. Sharing in the Harry Potter adventures with my two daughters lead me to an interest in middle grade/young adult fantasy fiction and my writing of Destiny Revealed, book one in the destiny trilogy. I currently live in Levittown long island with my wife and two children and look forward to sharing the adventures of Jack and Maddie Austin with all of you.

BBB: What inspired you to become an author?

CP: I've always had a great love of books, and I've always written, but it was more of a hobby. When my daughters developed a love for the Harry potter series I began to follow along and got very interested in the YA fantasy genre. It was when the genre became saturated with vampire books that I felt we needed to return to the wizards and magical creature, and let me to the idea of Destiny Revealed, book one in the destiny trilogy.

BBB: How did you come up with the idea for your book, Destiny Revealed?

CP: The idea came out of a want to write something for kids and teens that would allow them to stretch their imagination. I wanted to do something with wizards, but I also wanted to show a close family. All of these stories that are out seem to have missing parents, almost always they are dead. I wanted to show the love of family as the driving force for the story.

BBB: Tell us about your main characters, Jack and Maddie.

CP: The main characters are 13 year old twins Jack and Maddie Austin and they are thrust into a world of wizards and magic, a world they never knew existed. Maddie is the smart one, she analyzes everything and is very cautious, also naïve. Jack is headstrong, bossy, a bit of a brat. he knows what he wants and he is focused on his goal, no matter what. they are very nice compliment to each other.

BBB: What are you currently working on?

CP: Book two in the series is in the editing process and I have begun a rough draft of book three. I also would like to do a series of books about a teenage detective who is a psychic and is aided in his investigations by a ghost.

BBB: How can readers discover more about you and your work?

CP: Readers can visit my facebook page www.facebook.com/authorcrispasqueralle
Follow me on Twitter @cpasqueralle
I also have video that explains why I choose to write for children and why I feel it's important for them to develop a love of reading.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nNq9DbY0A

Meet Angela Hawkins, Author of Wimbley the Wonder Boy

BBB: What inspired you to become an author?

AH: I have always been an avid reader, and writing has always been something I've enjoyed. I remember going to the library every week with my siblings hoping that my favorites would be on the shelves. The Flicka Ricka and Dicka series always made my heart flutter! I think back then you were only allowed to check out 10 books at a time, which was never enough! Thank goodness times have changed! I'm pretty sure I haven't been to the library in the past few years without leaving with at least 25 books! It wasn't until my third child was born that I started to write seriously. Sure I'd written a few things, even sent a short story into a writing academy, to which I was offered a spot in the class, but with very young children at home, and living the military lifestyle, who had the time for writing homework? What that short story gave me though was invaluable. Confidence! That bit of confidence would be the spark that fueled my desire to start writing more...and with fervor!

BBB: How did you come up with idea for your book, Wimbley the Wonder Boy?

AH: The idea for Wimbley the Wonder Boy came from the day to day antics of my children. I will never forget the day I had just stepped out of the shower to find the house surrounded by the police! It seems that two year old's can, and will, use the telephone to the best of their abilities!

Needless to say, my children are always giving me valuable material with which to write about!

BBB: Tell us about the cover and how it came about.

AH: The cover for Wimbley the Wonder Boy was out of my hands. The book is published by Xist Publishing, and like most traditional publishing houses, the artwork was left to the illustrator. Holly Blackman, the illustrator for the book, did a fantastic job! I couldn't be more thrilled with the vision she had for Wimbley.

BBB: What are you currently working on?

AH: I am always dreaming up new story ideas and plotting out story lines. Currently I'm working on several children's picture books and putting the finishing touches on two children's early chapter book manuscripts. There has also been talk about turning Wimbley The Wonder Boy into a series! Fingers crossed, there will be more adventures for Wimbley in the near future!

BBB: How can readers discover more about you and your work?

Author Interview: Mike Billington

Meet Mike Billington, Author of Murder in the Rainy Season, The Session and many others

Mike Billington spent nearly a half century as a reporter covering stories around the world and across the United States including Operation Desert Storm, the Rwandan Civil War, hurricanes Hugo, Andrew, Katrina and Rita as well as the Love Canal environmental disaster and the 9/11 airline crash near Shanksville, Pa. During his career he earned more than 40 awards including the Brotherhood Medal of the National Conference of Christians and Jews for an undercover investigation of white-power extremists and the Southern Journalism Award for Investigative Reporting for a series he co-authored exposing police abuses of Florida's Contraband Forfeiture Act. He also received several awards for a lengthy series on infant mortality in Delaware. An Army veteran who spent two tours in Vietnam, his awards and decorations include the Bronze Star, Purple Heart and Combat Infantryman's Badge. In addition, he was twice decorated by the Vietnamese government. Given his background, it's not surprising that Mike writes in a wide variety of genres from Steampunk to mystery and even historical fiction.

BBB: What inspired you to become an author?

MB: I knew from a very early age that I wanted to be a writer, I just didn't know exactly what kind until I was in seventh grade. That year a friend's mom, a librarian, who knew I wanted to be a writer introduced me to Ernie Pyle's "Here is Your War," a collection of some of his World War II columns. In one of them he wrote this sentence: "It was a perfect night for romance or for death." That was, to me, an absolutely perfect sentence that summed up, in a very few words, just what Pyle was seeing and feeling on a night aboard ship on the Mediterranean under a full moon during a time of war. I decided then and there that I wanted to be a journalist and that I would one day write a sentence just that perfect. I never did, of course, but it was a lot of fun trying. Later, about midway through my career as a reporter, I started thinking seriously about writing fiction since I had notebooks full of ideas for stories and characters based upon the notes I'd taken during interviews and while covering news events. By the time I retired I was determined to write as many of those stories as I possibly could.

BBB: What books have you written?

MB: I currently have five books on Kindle, four of which are mysteries: "Corpus Delectable," "Jacks or Better" - which I co-wrote with my friend Marisa Porto, "Murder in the Rainy Season" and "The Session.") In addition, I have written a Steampunk adventure entitled "The Ashtabula Irregulars: Opening Gambit" that is also available on Kindle.

BBB: Do you ever get writer's block?

MB: I don't get writer's block. I think that's because I spent almost 50 years as a journalist where I had to produce as many as four or five stories a day regardless of whether or not I felt inspired. Runners often say that if they don't get in a few miles every day they feel bad and I'm the same way when it comes to writing. Any day that I don't write is a bad day, plain and simple.

BBB: What are you currently working on?

MB: I am currently putting the finishing touches on another mystery, which is set in Fort Lauderdale in the early 1980s when cocaine was so prevalent that people left little bags of it as a tip for waitresses. It's called "Blood Debt." I am also doing the final edit on an historical novel entitled "The Third Servant," which is based upon the parable in Matthew. In that parable Matthew tells us that the third servant, who did not enrich his master, was thrown into the night but we're never told what happens to him. Starting with that, I made the servant a 16-year-old boy and sent him on a 20-year adventure throughout the ancient world including India and Rome. I am also working on a collection of short stories that are loosely based on incidents I witnessed while roaming about the world as a reporter. Finally, for the moment, I've just started working on a mystery about a female private detective in Buffalo who lost part of her leg in Afghanistan. She's been hired to track down a first-edition copy of "Bleak House" that had been inscribed by Charles Dickens. The client is a single mom struggling to make ends meet and since the book could be worth millions finding it would make life a lot easier for her and her daughter. The problem: It has disappeared from a safety deposit box. My heroine is smart, funny and, after spending years as an MP in combat zones, she's really pretty fearless and very, very good at her job.

BBB: How can readers discover more about you and your work?

MB: That was the primary reason for publishing electronically rather than going through the years-long process of convincing agents to represent me, publishers to publish my books and then seeing them finally emerge in print. To check out my books, visit https://authorcentral.amazon.com/gp/books.

Meet Sarah Baethge, Author of Radiant Shadows: Beginnings

I live in Salado, Texas, on a donkey ranch.
I've always been a fan of Science fiction, and I write Sci-fi/Fantasy.
I've done little more than read and write for most of my adult life.

BBB: What inspired you to become an author?

SB: I was stuck at home recovering from a bad car wreck and I was bored. I figured that there was no reason to not just write a bit for fun.

BBB: How did you come with the idea for Radiant Shadows: Beginnings?

SB: I started writing a poem inspired by my frustration of how the Twilight vampires act. (free at: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/21243694-and-i-was-hungry--poem ) and I liked its story. Radiant Shadows is that story lengthened into a book.

BBB: Tell us about your main character.

SB: My main character is Stephen Brown. He is a human who, among other things, stands as legal help for a certain group of vampires.

BBB: Do you ever get writer's block?

SB: Nah, I don’t really see the point of trying to write unless I have a story in my mind.

BBB: What are you currently working on?

SB: I’m trying to find an agent for my mad-scientist/werewolf book that is a prequel to one of the first things I tried to sell. Now free on Google Drive at:
