Today we have the pleasure of chatting with Amy author if Captured by the Pirate Laird: 1. What made you want to be a writer? Pencils. You see, I think I was in the first grade when they had that thick-lined paper where you had to write perfect letters. Once I got that down, I wrote every chance I could get…sometimes I would write a lot, and then I would go for years without writing anything. Now all I do is write—pretty much. 2. Who is your favorite author? You mean I have to pick only one favorite? I guess I’d have to say Monica McCarty. Her Highland Guard Series is amazing. In the 80’s and 90’s, I read everything I could find by Wilbur Smith. 3. What is the name of the last book you read? Entwined by Kristen Callihan 4. Tell us about yourself in 3 words? Focused, loveable hermit. 5. What is your favorite activity? Writing. Oh…did you mean aside from writing? *grins* Do I really have to pick a favorite? *drums fingers* I guess it would be dancing. 6. If your

Today I had the pleasure of chatting with Aedan, What made you want to be a writer?  Nothing that I can pinpoint, I think I always have been a writer. I think I’m better than I used to be, but I’ve written as long as I can remember. Seems to me like they go hand in hand, reader and writer, and I thoroughly enjoy both. Who is your favorite author?  All of them. Writing is the act of pouring out a piece of your soul onto paper and putting it out for people to love or loathe. I don’t have the first idea how to say any are a favorite over the others…those who embrace the challenge of writing and speaking through stories have my undying respect forever. What is the name of the last book you read? That’s a large list as I’m always reading something. I did recently read/finish Amber Scott’s Enchanted Moon as a beta for her. It was a magickal tale. Tell us about yourself in 3 words?  Thrifty. Grounded. Blessed. What is your favorite activity? Anything outdoors. Not spo
