The Author’s Voice will explore the mostly hidden world of the up-and-coming authors trying to break into print. The point of these interviews is to show other budding writers that they aren’t alone as they go through the trials and tribulations of writing and to introduce readers to some fresh new voices. Also to answer the question I always get asked, “where does it come from?”
I will be interviewing authors I’ve had the pleasure to meet, in person or digitally, or have had the pleasure to work with or even learn with and from. While I won’t be reviewing their books (they are a work in progress remember?) I will ask them where they are in their writing, their favourite moments or ideas and what drives them to keep going.
My goal is to break from the standard blog interviews and cut to the heart of the subject, the nuts and bolts, and explore the questions not traditionally asked. All this and I want to do it in a late night TV, relaxed style. A one-on-one coffee-house chat.

Below is a list of the author’s I’ve interviewed. Check back often as I will update this post regularily with their published status including release dates.
Lisa Llamrei - “You might ask why I didn’t try short stories. I did, and quickly discovered they have a nasty habit of turning into novels.” - Status: TBA
Dave Jones - “My biggest thrill is to set up a subtle humorous situation and then have it mature in the readers mind.” – Staus: TBA
Tiffany Clarke – “I’ve written on napkins from coffee shops, on the back pages of school projects, cereal boxes, store flyers, even the palms of my hands.” – Status: TBA
SJ Clarke - “Writing is personal. We weave pieces of ourselves into our work. Not moments in our lives, but strands of our souls.” – Status: Published – Mind Over Matter.
Janet Evanovich – On being a class clown “No. I was much too shy. That’s one of the reasons I like Stephanie Plum. She says all the stuff I wanted to say.” – Status: Published, several times over - www.evanovich.com
Deepam Wadds - “Memoir takes a lot more courage and risk-taking than fiction. You have to be honest or else it won’t be interesting to the reader, I don’t think.” – Status: TBA
