Author Interview: Nomi Palmer
• What inspired you to write your latest book? My main inspiration for my entire series is NBC’s old soap opera Passions (which I named my series after).

Author Interview: K.E. Brown
• What inspired you to write your latest book? Honestly, Whiskey Violet began as nothing more than a bar name that stuck in my head, and once I sat down to explore it, the characters and story basically wandered in the door and wrote themselves. I wanted a little romance, a little mystery, a little murder, and a little mess. I'm very excited about my debut novel. • What is your favorite book/genre to read? I read almost everything, romance, women’s fiction, thrillers, a lit

• What inspired you to write your latest book? A lot was going on in my head one day, and writing has always been an outlet for me. This time, it was the sexual tension in my body, and I just randomly started writing a scene. By the time I finished it and reflected on it, I decided to transform this one scene into an entire book and began working on Revenge & Redemption. • What is your favorite book/genre to read? I only recently discovered dark romance, but I really love t

What inspired you to write your latest book? The novels were inspired by two women. What is your favorite book/genre to read? Epigrams and short stories. What themes do you find yourself returning to in your work? As many as there are in human nature. How do you handle writer’s block? I have written every morning in the past.

• What inspired you to write your latest book? Goddess of Perversion is book 1 in The Dark Goddesses Society series, and it will be released on May 22, 2025. Throughout history, the dark goddesses have been labeled as bad and twisted. This is because they are feminine energy and have “the audacity” to point out the hard truths. I wanted to give them a voice and a chance to rewrite their story on their own terms. • What is your favorite book/genre to read? I love everything!

Author Interview: A.K. Hauser
• What inspired you to write your latest book? Oof, well, a lot of different things! My latest book was also my first, so it is a culmination of themes and topics that’ve kept my attention for the past many years. Most of all, I just wanted to build a world, and then slowly, I filled it with characters, and those characters built stories. • What is your favorite book/genre to read? My favorite books are The Egyptian and the Clan of the Cave Bear series (Earth’s Children), a

Author Interview: Mara Tran
• What inspired you to write your latest book? I’ve been fascinated by the Victorian era and Victorian literature since age 12 when I first read Sherlock Holmes. However, it was Wilkie Collins who solidified my love for the “domestic mystery.” I wanted to write stories that read like a Victorian classic, with a large cast, generational secrets, murder, humor, and lots of backstory for everyone. • What is your favorite book/genre to read? I read widely across genres, but my

Author Interview: V. Casa
• What inspired you to write your latest book? I was inspired to write Vaieon because I wanted to read a book about a strong woman living among dinosaurs. The idea of the struggles, adventures, and beauty of living in the Cretaceous era was the starting point of the story. From there, I created Lily Vai, the heroine of the trilogy, and gave her this impossible journey of time travel and life in the wild. • What is your favorite book/genre to read?

Author Interview: Michelle Matteson
• What inspired you to write your latest book? I started writing Those That Glow Gold at the beginning of the pandemic. I had written some short fiction before but not a book, and with all the free time on my hands, I decided to take the plunge. Her Most Loyal Servants is its sequel, and it was a beast to write, but it was also so satisfying. • What is your favorite book/genre to read? All kinds of books, really. Fantasy and horror (and especially when a story has a little

Author Interview: Natasha Murray
• What inspired you to write your latest book? I am a multi-genre author and find myself drawn to writing something new each time. Over the pandemic, I wrote the Waterfall Way series, a murder mystery series, and that was such fun to write. I am currently working on Jack Solar Journal science fiction adventure stories for 8+ set in 3008. Jack has an ancient iPad, and when he draws on the tablet, his superheroes and inventions come to life, and he is able to help the hungry p

• What inspired you to write your latest book? The Catalyst for My Book: A Journey of Healing and Hope. The title Heal the Pain reflects pain can be healed. My teenage years were marked by unbearable pain: parent abandonment, repeated betrayals, and the grip of an eating disorder. But I found solace in my resilience. Recognizing I wasn't alone in my struggles, I felt compelled to share my story. My healing journey is filled with twists, turns, and triumphs—inspired me to wr

Author Interview: Heather Lucinda
• What inspired you to write your latest book? The book I am working on at the moment is inspired by a man who came to the door at our cottage who had aerial pictures he took of our cottage and property from his plane. He was selling them. You could see the back woods in the photo and I thought to myself, wouldn’t it be crazy if we saw something in the photo on our property, that wasn’t supposed to be there? • What is your favorite book/genre to read?

Author Interview: Caitlin Rush
• What inspired you to write your latest book? My most recently published book is called Lies That Princess Told You, and it is the Cinderella story told from the stepmother's perspective. In the beginning, my intention was to show how, to borrow the words of the late Queen Elizabeth, "recollections may vary," and also to highlight how differently people can react to the same pressures/situations. Along the way, however, I went through some hard losses and experiences in my

Author Interview: Breelagh D'Agostino
• What inspired you to write your latest book? I have been dealing with depression and anxiety for the past fifteen years of my life, and through my writing, I have been able to express my struggles through an artistic outlet. The protagonist (although you could say antagonist) of my book "Remember," Drew Abston's hardships are a channeling of some of my darkest times in life. Although taken to the extreme with certain aspects of the story, I was able to put in my own perspe

Author Interview: Allison Ivy
• What inspired you to write your latest book? As someone who grew up with it, I wanted to write a story inspired by The Pagemaster . I’ve always been a book lover, so the idea of writing a book where the characters get trapped inside one was too tempting. From that, Sophie and Ren (the two main characters of Inked in Blood and Memory ) emerged, and my love of horror fueled their adventure. • What is your favorite book/genre to read? I read several genres, but I find myself

• What inspired you to write your latest book? A reader posted a few pictures to find recs with that vibe. I couldn't stop thinking about it, so my brain started to create a whole book around that feeling. • What is your favorite book/genre to read? I'm such a mood reader I hope all over the place. As long as it's romance and hooks me, I read it. • What themes do you find yourself returning to in your work? I'm such a sucker for writing groveling, hurt/comfort, and consent

• What inspired you to write your latest book? I came across a picture of a girl in what looked like a nightgown in front of a large winged monster. That immediately sparked the first images of Nightmares of Nightfall. The longer I daydreamed about it , the more vivid the characters and world became, leading to Daggers of Darkness, my newest release and second book of the series, and more books to come! • What is your favorite book/genre to read?

• What inspired you to write your latest book? My latest story started with a desire to read a book with a female anti-hero who was getting her due justice but didn't care if she was breaking the law or killing along the way. I had read a lot of books where the woman fell for the morally grey man, and I wanted to read a book with a powerful, morally grey woman, so I decided to write it. • What is your favorite book/genre to read?
