Samanthya Wyatt Interview

It's not often that I get the chance to interview an author and simply chat about what it's like to be a writer. I mean, my family and co-workers are sweet enough to listen to me ramble on and on about my storyline issues, but it isn't the same as chatting with someone in the industry who understands my struggles.

Today's talented author is a fellow Soulie whose path to publication is very similar to mine. Please welcome, Samanthya Wyatt, author of the One and Only series.

Perfectly Honest by Linda O'Connor

Life has been hectic this past week. Long story short -- Dad had his 4th heart attack and after a weeklong stay in the hospital, he's been sent home on hospice care. Now that things are finally settling back down again, it's time for me to relax and do something I really enjoy. Introduce you to yet another fabulous Soulmate Publishing author!

Linda O’Connor writes romantic comedies that fuse her knowledge of the medical field with my favorite thing . . . romance. Linda recently launched book one in her new Perfectly . . .  series. Perfectly Honest is exactly what the doctor ordered.

PHANTOM TRACES by Claire Gem

Give me two thumbs up, it's Thursday! Only one more day to go until the weekend. We'll ignore the fact that after I run Writing Club, I'll have to scramble to get ready for Open House. Let's just all pretend that my day will be easy peasy, okay? Lie to me, I'll forgive you. 

Thursday also means that it's time for me to introduce you to another talented author! 

Don't give me that look. You know you love adding fabulous new books to your TBR pile. And so do I, which is why I've invited fellow Soul Mate Publishing author Claire Gem here to reveal the cover of her new book, Phantom Traces. 

And here it is, in all its glory . . .

This week's question comes from Brenda Margriet. She asked . . .

How do you choose the setting for your book? 

Does where you live inspire you? 

This can apply even to books set in paranormal worlds - what do you use from "real life"?
