Author Interview With Joann H. Buchanan

Author Interview With Joann H. Buchanan

Today, I have Joann Buchanan on my blog.  Hello, and welcome.  Smile

What inspired you to start writing?

I don’t know. I just love to write, I always have.

What’s your favorite book you’ve written and why?

Shine, Book 1 of The H. A. L. O. saga.  I don’t have a real reason as to why. I just love the story. It’s about a young woman’s journey to becoming an angel.

Shine (The H.A.L.O. Saga Book 1) by [Buchanan, Joann]

What are the best and worst aspects of writing?

The best is writing the story, developing the worlds and seeing where the characters are going to take you. The worst is marketing. I hate marketing because I don’t know how to answer questions as to why. Do we question why a musician is able to play the piano the way they can? Do we question why some people can sing? What makes people question why writers write? For me it’s just a natural part of who I am. I don’t know why and I don’t know how to give it to someone else because it is something that comes naturally. That’s why I hate marketing. I don’t have a magical formula for those who want to write. Just write. In marketing though, that answer never seems good enough. Lol

How do you balance marketing one book and writing the next?

Divide your time. Look marketing is a necessary part of the creative world. It doesn’t matter what end of the creative field you choose, you will have to market. So if you know you are going to have half an hour of writing time, then make sure you have a half an hour of marketing time as well. That or hire someone to do it for you. Lol.

Are you an Indie Author or are you part of a publishing house?

I have both. I’m part of a publishing house called World Castle Publishing and I have my own indie books out.

What do you enjoy most about being an author?

Writing the story.

Do read books in the genre you write?

Yes and in all other genres.

When you’re not writing, what do you do to recharge?

I read, crochet, do nail art, sleep, and quilt.

Besides being an author, do you have a second job?

Yes. I work at Dollar General. I love working there. I have the best team and I have benefits. I really think I would work there even if I won the lottery. I don’t work there because I have to, I work there because I want to.

What makes you laugh?

Sarcasm.

What (not who) would you take to a lonely island?

A few books. A pad of paper and a pen. Sun screen. A satellite phone and a boat.

Who would you like to invite for dinner?

Anyone who wants to enjoy a good meal and a good conversation.

Author Interview with Rose Marie Machario

Welcome to my blog tour with Rose Marie Machario.  Glad to have you here.  Let’s get to questions.

What inspired you to start writing?

I am an actress, model, creator, and hostess of Dream Big, and now I am finally a published author. I was inspired to write by reading.

What’s your favorite book you’ve written and why?

The Amulet of Elements– it contains all of the best things that I love reading in a fantasy.

TheAmuletofElementsCover_1200X800

What are the best and worst aspects of writing?

The best part is creating every aspect of the story, the characters, and the worst part is when you’ve finished and you miss your characters.

How do you balance marketing one book and writing the next?

Once my phone battery dies after promoting then I put it on the charger, and then start working on the writing the next one.

Are you an Indie Author or are you part of a publishing house?

I am proudly published with Seventh Star Press.

What do you enjoy most about being an author?

I can work from home in yoga pants all day, and being a creative for a living is pretty awesome too.

Do you read books in the genre you write?

Yes.

When you’re not writing, what do you do to recharge?

Yoga, walking, listen to music, and then literally Netflix and chill.

Besides being an author, do you have a second job?

I am an actress, host my show Dream Big, model, and sell merchandise on my online store.

What makes you laugh?

Romantic Comedies.

What (not who) would you take to a lonely island?

Notebooks, and ink pens.

Who would you like to invite for dinner?

Lady Gaga

Great.  Now it’s time to meet one of your characters. Which book is your character from?

The Amulet of Elements.

TheAmuletofElementsCover_1200X800

Who are you and what is your name?

My name is Princess Ellyria Rose of Toledya, and I am the Chosen One.

Are you a fictional or historical figure?

Fictional.

What should we know about you?

I am the only person whom can rid the entire realm of the evil wizard Raul.

Tell us about your story. When and where is your tale set?

I am the prophesied girl child of my realm Ragnarok that was foretold over five hundred years ago that I would destroy evil and unite all of the kingdoms once again, and the only one to truly weld the power of The Amulet of Elements.

What is your personal goal? What do you ultimately want?

To rid the realm of the evil wizard. I want a normal life and forsake my destiny and be with the man that I love.


What is standing in your way? What conflict(s) do your face?

If I do not follow my destiny as the Chosen One the wizard will destroy the realm and kill everyone that I hold dear to my heart. I must obtain The Amulet of Elements before the wizard does, or he will have the upper hand in taking my powers from

me.

Book Synopsis for The Amulet of Elements:

TheAmuletofElementsCover_1200X800

Princess Ellyria Rose found her special places in the books she read. Imagining herself in far off lands, she would dream of the knight who might rescue her one day from her dull, everyday life of needlepoint and lessons on becoming a lady.

Princess Ellyria Rose yearned for adventure and on her sixteenth birthday she got her wish, being rescued by the man of her dreams. Little did she know that would prove to be an adventure she did not expect to have.

Betrayed by the very man whom Princess Ellyria trusted, and left at the mercy of her father’s enemy, she had to use her wits to escape; along with the help of the very man who led her astray in the beginning.

Danger unfolds time and again, revealing an ancient story about a princess and a prophecy.

#Bookreview for Heart of Stone: Book 3 of Angel’s Guardian Series by Zeece Lugo

Heart of Stone: Book 3 of Angel's Guardian Series by [Lugo, Zeecé]

Book review for Heart of Stone: Book 3 of Angel’s Guardian Series by Zeece Lugo

BLURB:

The fate of both the vampire nation and humanity are on the line as Maxim and Angel’s most dangerous enemy comes back fiercer than ever. Toma returns, and he’s battling for it all: vengeance, ultimate power, and love.

As horrific vampire mass killings spread over the globe, and humanity learns that vampires are real, Maxim Denisov, King of the Vampires, faces off with his nemesis, his twisted cousin Toma, in a final desperate battle to save all he loves. But the vampire attacks are only the beginning, a smokescreen to hide the real, apocalyptic destruction Toma means to unleash on humanity.

This is the 3rd book in a series you cannot miss! Thrilling action, sizzling romance, unexpected humor, and nail-biting suspense delivered by characters you’ll love.

This book is not suitable for younger readers. Some adults may object to scenes depicting sexual content or violence.

MY REVIEW:

We all know what sequels are like.  Usually the first is the best and the rest are just trying to sucker us in for more money.  Well, that’s not the case with the 3rd and final installment in the Angel’s Guardian Series. 

The vampire nation is still reeling over Toma’s actions at the end of book two.  He’s gone into hiding and Ivanna has turned into a recluse.  And the human who loves her, Devian, has gone back to his mercenary wok.  I loved Jonathan and Devian in the 2nd story, but Devian definitely turned into my favorite in this last one. 

Oh, Toma, Toma, what were you thinking?  Zeece really got into the heart and guts of Toma in this last book.  We can understand who he is, but the choices he makes once again harm everyone he loves.  Especially his beloved sister.

My heart went out for Ivanna and I cried over what she knew she had to do.  She finally saw Toma for what he was and what their relationship meant to him.  Two very scarred souls.  And only one of them with redemption in sight. 

As with the other two books, every character is well-rounded and relatable.  The children were funny and adorable, and even one of the vampires in the wrong camp has you rooting for him.  Sometimes loyalty comes at a very steep price. 

There is so much about this story to love   Action, drama, sizzling romance, and sorrow.  It kept me turning the pages.  If you’re tired of the same old vampire troupes and are yearning for something different to read, I highly recommend this book and series.  I give it 10 stars.  Well, Amazon only allows 5.  LOL.

#NewRelease: Destiny of Light (Book 3) by Catherine Greenall

Destiny of Light: Final Book in Quirk of Destiny Trilogy by [Greenall, Catherine]

New Release: Destiny of Light (Book 3) by Catherine Greenall

BLURB:

Destiny of Light brings the ‘Quirk of Destiny’ trilogy to a shocking conclusion. Calum O’Connell together with his friends and supporters around the world, struggle against deadly enemies, hoping to survive. But will they? Will anyone? ‘Destiny of Light’ is the final book in the ‘Quirk of Destiny’ trilogy, an apocalyptic tale of devastation and destruction caused by the introduction of genetically modified food, resulting in the decimation of humans and the rise of the Genies, an evil tribe with paranormal powers. An Elite, shadowy group also emerged, with the power to order death and destruction and manipulate events to take control of the world.This final instalment exposes the origins of the Genies and the powerful Elite. Mutation of the Earth’s gene pool continues with devastating results.

‘Return to Gallanvaig’ ‘pits a group of vegan environmentalists against horribly deformed “Genies” and a shadowy group intent on restoring the old-world order. Twists and turns abound. Real-world problems are taken to extreme conclusions that should make readers think.’

Liz O’Neill – Director of GM Freeze*.* GM Freeze works to help create a world in which our food is produced responsibly, fairly and sustainably. They consider and raise the profile of concerns about the impact of genetic modification. They also inform, inspire, represent and support those who share these concerns and campaign for a moratorium on GM food and farming in the UK. They oppose the patenting of genetic resources.

Acclaim for ‘A Quirk of Destiny’‘.. great romp of a novel, populated by a host of well-drawn characters, and with a gradually emerging, sinister plot twist.’ Brian Page, Editor Mensa Magazine ‘This book is rather scary at times as to the scenario it presents and even more so when one considers the author’s background. The reader may be left wondering, and possibly rightly so, I should say, as to whether this might not be whistle blowing disguised as fiction. A definite must read book.’ Michael Smith, Editor Green Living‘The manipulation of genes place huge powers in the hands of the few and that is why books such as the ‘Quirk of Destiny’ can be so valuable in sounding the alarm bells in time for people to regain control.’

Peter Riley, GM Freeze Campaign Director‘The threat of Genetically Modified (GM) Plants and its impact on our health may be a greater risk than we realise.’ Phil Exon, Mensa Science Fiction SIG EditorThe Best of the Year 2013. Best books (joint number 1) “A Quirk of Destiny” – another must read book – though different, as it is about GMO and more a thriller and a novel rather than a memoir.

Michael Smith, Green (Living) Review. ‘For her first fiction novel, Author Greenall has what it takes to keep us glued to the story. Entwining the global conspiracy right into the general populace as a method to control the world by big corporations and evil government infiltrators was masterly presented. There are no super heroes here, no big prepper networks, just serious citizens that realize they need to get out right away or die. If you want to read something out of the ordinary as subject matter you will love this conspiracy. A Quirk of Destiny will take a bite out of your belief system and present just enough of today’s food service doubts to keep you reading until the end. I’m hooked and will certainly keep a close eye on the “what if” this really was to happen. That’s what makes this book so much fun to read.

’Burntroot Broadcasting, Canada‘I was hooked by the dramatic first chapter. This book illustrates present dangers we may already face. It has certainly made me think about what I eat. The ending is a bit of a cliff-hanger to set the scene for the sequel. I hope it comes soon.’ Amazon reader‘A readable, engaging thriller with a message that makes you think! A compelling storyline, once you pick up this book you can’t put it down.’ Amazon reader‘This is definitely NOT a run of the mill post apocalyptic tale!
