Getting to Know Chrissy Lessey, A Novelist with a Purpose

Enjoy getting to know, Chrissy Lessey:

Thank you for joining me today. Tell us in three words how you would best describe your writing. 

Poignant, humorous, relatable

Your book, “Crystal Coast: The Coven” is set to release on 4/30/2014. Share a passage (a paragraph or less) that you’d like for us to see before the rest of the world.

Stevie watched Charlie as he scooped a handful of sand and let it sift slowly through his fingers. Golden ringlets of hair fell around his face, hiding his pale blue eyes. Just a few years ago, those eyes shone bright with curiosity. Now, they were clouded by a need for routine and a lack of connection to the world around him. His dimpled cheeks were overshadowed by a furrowed brow, evidence of the countless fears and worries tormenting his young mind.

You’ve been presented with the opportunity to be a best-selling author, but can never write again, or write forever, but never have a bestseller. Which scenario sounds more tempting?

Having a bestseller would be a dream come true, but giving up writing is unthinkable. I’d have to keep on writing and pass on the bestseller.

If you could live on a college campus and never leave, or live in a small town but be able to travel, which one would you choose?

I’d live in a small town and travel, which is pretty much what I’m doing now.

Okay, how about in an amusement park or an airport?

Definitely an amusement park. I’m a huge fan of roller coasters!

And how about Australia or Scotland?

Scotland. I think I’d find a lot of inspiration there.

Who is your favorite 90’s band (I’m thinking Counting Crows, Blink 182, Hootie & the Blowfish)?

The Black Crowes and Pearl Jam.

Are there any good bands out there today that we’ll talk about in 50 years?

Possibly the band Fun. There’s tremendous talent there and lead singer Nate Ruess reminds me of Freddie Mercury.

And what about your favorite comedy on TV (My favorite is The Office)?

Big Bang Theory never fails to make me laugh.

Is there anything you’re currently working on?

I’m working on the next installment of the Crystal Coast Trilogy.

Who is your favorite author and if you could ask him/her one question, what would it be?

I’d love to ask Anne Rice about her choice to bring Lestat back after all of these years. Specifically, I’d ask if her perception of the character has changed since we last saw him.

Lightning round:

Ocean or mountains?  Ocean

Yogurt or ice cream?  Ice cream

M & M’s or Skittles?  M & M’s

The Daily Show or The Colbert Report? The Daily Show

Happy or sad ending to a novel?  Happy

Beer or wine?  Wine

Flying or driving?  Flying

Hemingway or Twain?  Twain

You’re stranded on a desert island and you can take two things with you as well as two people. What and who are you bringing?

My practical side is going to show through on this answer. I’d bring a knife and a ball of twine. I’d leave my family safely on the mainland and bring survival expert, Bear Grylls. I’d also ask Anne Rice to come along, so she can tell me stories while we wait for rescue.

You’re able to sit down with any leader in world history. Who would you choose, what would you talk about, and would you rather have him over to your house or meet at their place of royalty?

I’d meet with Abraham Lincoln at the White House. We’d discuss his plans to go see that play.

You can wish for one thing and one thing only, not world peace and no more wishes. What’s it gonna be? 🙂

Time. I’d love more time with my family and more time to write.

Meet the Author: Tanya Taimanglo

Today, we’re sitting down with the talented, ambitious, and incredibly clever, Tanya Taimanglo. She recently released a romantic comedy and was kind enough to swing by for an interview. Sit down, take off your eyeglasses, and put them back on if you require them for reading.

 

You’re the author of SECRET SHOPPER. Share a line/passage with us that the world needs to read.

“I was too preoccupied with my family and being home, that Thomas was really a small blip in my thoughts. Well, okay he was more like streaming classical music that played softly in the background every minute of my day, but my heart and mind could only focus on dad now.” –Phoenix Lizama

You’ve been presented with the opportunity to be a best-selling author but can never write again or write forever but never have a bestseller. Which scenario sounds more tempting?

This is so easy. Best-selling author…just kidding. I would have to say I want to write forever, but not have a bestseller. Writing is as important to me as eating my multi-vitamin. And a one time bestseller is honorable, but equivalent to a one hit wonder, yes?

Ummm, I’d say yes 🙂

If you could live on a college campus and never leave or in a small town but be able to travel, which one would you choose?

I’m 39, college is a distant, boring memory. I’d rather be in a small town (which is my reality now and I love it) and be able to travel.

Okay, how about Scotland or Iceland?

I’d say Scotland. I’d like to learn more about kilts and sip tea in J.K. Rowling’s castle, talk shop with her perhaps and dance to some Celtic jams.

Who is your favorite 90’s band (I’m thinking Counting Crows, Blink 182, Hootie & the Blowfish)?

I have so many, but it’s the Stone Temple Pilots. In fact, it was a goal to see them in concert before debauchery and excess ended any of them. Happily I did that in 2010 in California.

And what about your favorite comedy on TV (I love The Office and Seinfeld)?

I’m very into New Girl with Zooey Deschanel. I love, love Schmidt and find myself sounding like him when I’m scolding my children, which is frightening. But I also dig Jake Johnson’s characterization of Nick. He represents the awkward kind of guy I find endearing.

Is there anything you’re currently working on?

Is there anything I’m NOT currently working on. Story lines invade my mind constantly. But, when I finally focus and get some quiet time (usually when the entire house is asleep), I write. Two projects are undergoing construction, one is a YA level novel I drafted during NaNoWriMo 2012, 50,000 words in 30 days deserves some follow through. It stems from my love, well obsession for Wonder Woman, entitled Wonder Summer. Another is a third of the way completed, another romance. Keeping the storyline under wraps for now.

Who is your favorite author and if you could ask him/her one question, what would it be?

Jane Green. She wrote Jemima J. It was the first time I felt connected to a character, one who was curvy, who wanted or thought there was only a good life for the thin. My question: Was her character, Jemima based on herself? (Mainly because Jane Green is a lovely, slim lady…okay, I really want to know if her thighs were ever fluffy enough to rub).

Lightning round:

Ocean or mountains? Oceans. I’m a Chamorro from Guam, a lovely tropical island-Google it folks. Always, oceans.

Peaches or plums? Peaches when they are firm, but sweet.

Skittles or M & M’s? Peanut M & M’s (I cheated there).

Happy or sad ending to a novel? Happy, which is why I haven’t read a Nicholas Sparks novel lately, he broke my heart one too many times, so I just watch his books on film.

Beer or wine? Sweet wine (Moscato d’asti) or none at all.

Flying or driving? Driving, until safe teleporting is invented.

Mystery or fantasy novel? I hate surprises, so fantasy.

You’re stranded on a desert island and you can take two things with you as well as two people. What and who are you bringing?

I would take my journal and a pen. Two people? Sorry husband, but I’d take my two kids, they still need their mommy.

You’re able to sit down with any president in United States history. Who would you choose, what would you talk about, and would you rather have him over to your house or meet at the White House?

Abraham Lincoln. He’s my 8 year old son’s favorite. We would talk about his family life and how it made him the man he is/was. I would rather be in the White House, but not the 1800’s version, the 2013 version.

You can wish for one thing and one thing only (not world peace and no more wishes)! What’s it gonna be?

Financial freedom.

“…I would do anything for the baby. Including, giving up the love of my life.”

You’ve got the chance to be a best-selling author or live forever, which scenario sounds more tempting?

Probably best-selling author unless all of my family and friends get to live forever with me.  If they can, I would definitely choose living forever.

If you could travel through every state in America or each country in Europe, which one would you choose?

Each country in Europe.  I’ve already travelled most of the U.S. so I’d give up what I haven’t seen to travel through Europe.

What is your favorite spoof movie (I like Scary Movie)?

Hot Shots!  Loved it!

Is there anything you’re currently working on?

I’m working on Cooper’s story from Trying to Get Over You.

Who is your favorite author and if you could ask him/her one question, what would it be?

I love way too many authors to have a favorite.  If I could ask any of them a question it would be: Is being an author everything you dreamed it would be?

Lightning round:

Ocean or mountains? Ocean

Chicken or steak? Chicken

Skittles or M & M’s? M & M’s

Happy or sad ending to a novel? Happy

Beer or wine? Wine

C.S. Lewis or Nathaniel Hawthorne? C.S. Lewis

You’re stranded on a desert island and you can take only three things with you. What are you bringing?

My husband and two boys. If it has to be material things: my iPad (it has my e-reader), sunscreen, and a bottle of wine. 

You’re able to sit down with any president in United States history. Who would you choose and what would you talk about?

George Washington: I’d ask if the way our country is now is anything like he thought it would be.

Choices in life are hard.

Meet the Author: Lindy Spencer

Today, we’re sitting down with Lindy Spencer, author of THE BOOMERANG EFFECT. She’s smarty, funny, and driven- the perfect trifecta! Take off your slippers, pick up your cup of coffee, and enjoy getting to know this soon-to-be, familiar face.

Tell us a little bit about your novel, THE BOOMERANG EFFECT. Share a favorite line/passage with us and anything else we should know.

I’m so excited to talk about my book!  It’s the perfect murder, several times over, and the best part is nobody knows!!  Well, except the person behind it all, but that’s a given, right?  My favorite quote is by Andrea Parker, one of my characters.  She said, “Karma is a well-thrown boomerang.”  I have to agree.  Karma will always come back and get you when you throw something out there that deserves retribution.  The Boomerang Effect has karma woven through and tucked in every corner.

You’ve been presented with the opportunity to live in a different country or grow up in another century, which scenario sounds more tempting?

Hmmm… to live in a different country, I would have to say.  Ireland sounds like a fabulous place to live, though I’ve not been there personally so all I have is what I’ve read and the pictures I’ve seen, but I would love to live in a castle with the rolling hills that go on for miles.  I’m sure that sounds like a fantasy to anyone who has visited or lives there now, but it’s my fantasy so the castle is always at the perfect temperature, nothing breaks and nobody does anything remotely bad.  🙂

My wife and I went to Ireland last year for our 10-year anniversary; good choice!

If you could live in California or New York, which one would you choose?

California with its earthquakes and surfers or New York with its snow and fast pace.  Give me sunshine, give me California!

Okay, how about Spain or France?

Spain brings to mind Flamenco dancers and the running of the bulls while France creates a visual of wine and croissants.  They both sound intriguing.  I don’t speak Spanish or French… so can’t count on that to get me through.  Oh, who am I kidding, give me wine and croissants – I’ll take France!  Can I watch a show about Spain while I’m there?

What is your favorite book you read in high school (mine was a little known novel called MEN OF KENT)?

Wow, that’s a tough question!  In high school I devoured books by the hundreds.  Every one of them was my favorite while I was reading it; I tend to immerse myself in every book I read.  Having said that, one book still stands out though I’m not sure if I read it in high school or after; it’s ‘Butterfly’ by Kathryn Harvey.  I say that with one caveat: I wouldn’t recommend anyone under the age of 18 read this book; there are some topics covered that should be reserved for adults only.

Is there anything you’re currently working on?

Several projects are ongoing in my world right now.  I’ve got an anthology of short stories I’m writing for, a sequel to The Boomerang Effect, and a stand-alone book has a basic outline finished as well.  There was also one day over the weekend that had the neighbor breaking out his chain saw, and while I complained about his breaking my concentration it was suggested that I stop working on what I was trying to write and use the chain saw noise to inspire a different story.  That was a brilliant suggestion by one of my fans, and I whipped out a short story from it.  Still needs polishing and probably some fleshing out, but wow, what a great idea that was!  Kudos to Sarah for suggesting it!

 Clever 🙂

Who is your favorite author and if you could ask him/her one question, what would it be?

I’ve got two favorite authors, though for this question I’d pick J.D. Robb and I’d ask her what her method is for keeping all of her bazillion characters straight.

 Lightning round:

Ocean or mountains?  Neither – cabin in the woods please

Apples or oranges?  Apples

Snickers or Skittles?  Snickers

Happy or sad ending to a novel?  Happy

Beer or wine?  Wine

Flying or driving?  Driving

Sherman Alexie or Junot Diaz?  Had to do a little research… Sherman Alexie, I like his quotes

You’re stranded on a desert island and you can take only two things with you and two people as well. What and who are you bringing?

Wine, toilet paper, my husband, and MacGyver

You’re able to sit down with any world leader in history. Who would you choose, what would you talk about, and would you rather have him/her over to your house or at their place of royalty?

Abraham Lincoln.  We would talk about everything from how he abolished slavery to how he would attempt to fix the crises America is dealing with now.  We’d totally meet at his place, as it was then, so I could see for myself how things were during that time in history.

Thank you so much Lindy for your time and your amazing sense of humor. I’ll give you the last word (s) 🙂

Thank you for interviewing me; this was fun!  I enjoyed your questions and some of the answers surprised even me!  (I just washed my hands, can’t do a thing with them…)

The timing for this interview is perfect; between June 15^th and June 21^st I’m hosting a giveaway to thank my fans for helping my Facebook page reach 1,000 likes; copies of my book are up for grabs as are many other books from fellow authors.  If you’d like to join in the fun, here’s a link to the giveaway:  Boomerang Effect Giveaway

Morgan Jane’s Interview of Jackson Paul Baer

Meet the Author: Rori Shay

Today, we have the privilege of hearing from a brand new author: Rori Shay. The synopsis for her debut novel has me hooked and I hope you enjoy meeting Rori as much as I did interviewing her.

Your first book, ELECTED, is set to release in 2014. Share a favorite line/passage with us and anything else we should know.

People always say the first line of a book should be particularly telling, so I’ll share that one.  “One blonde curl is wrapped lusciously around my pointer finger.”  It’s one of my favorite lines because it signifies my main character’s longing for something she’s not allowed to have.  Aloy is a seventeen-year-old girl in the year 2185.  She’s forced to pretend to be a boy so she can take her country’s presidential role, but she desperately wishes she could show her true self.

Also, here’s a short synopsis of ELECTED:  In the year 2185 seventeen-year-old Aloy must masquerade as a boy to take her country’s presidential role and save her people from a deteriorating political and environmental crisis. 

Aloy is a girl, but no one can know that. If they did, she would be executed and East Country would fall into civil war. Her father is the Elected, the leader of the country as her grandfather and great-grandfather were before. The role should be going to her older brother but he disappeared eighteen years ago. With no one else to take his place, Aloy’s parents cut her hair and told her that she could never be a girl again.

Aloy has prepared all her life to become the Elected and uphold East Country’s laws as strictly as her father did. These laws, the Accords, are a strategy for survival created after an environmental crisis nearly destroyed the Earth. Countries must be isolated to prevent war. A woman’s primary job is childbirth, and they cannot rule.  Technology is absolutely not tolerated, in hopes that pollution would never reach catastrophic levels again.

In two weeks Aloy will be eighteen and take her father’s place as the Elected.  She hopes to rule as he did. But she is inheriting a different country than what her parents had. The long dormant Technology Faction is coming out of the shadows. For years they have called for bringing back the advanced technology of the past; now they incite riots in the country and attempt to assassinate Aloy. As turmoil grows within the East Country, cryptic threats come from beyond their borders: minerals disappear from mines and strange technological relics appear in the hills. After generations of isolation Aloy knows nothing about Mid Country, their only neighbor. And her country doesn’t have the resources to defend itself.

As she tries to sort out what is happening Aloy is forced to marry a woman, while struggling with feelings for the veterinarian’s son, Griffin. He knows her secret and claims to love her. He brings out the femininity in her that she has suppressed for so long. But she cannot shake the notion that he is somehow connected to the upheaval in East Country. Aloy knows that she is responsible to keep her people safe, but she’s not sure if she can. Or if she can even keep herself alive long enough to try.

I’d love to know what people think of the synopsis.  They can email me at rorishay@gmail.com or twitter me @RoriShayWrites.

You’ve got the chance to be a best-selling author or live forever, which scenario sounds more tempting?

I’m tempted to say live forever because then I’d have all the time in the world to do so many great things, but I think it would be immensely hard to live forever while watching all your loved ones die off.  So I’m going to pick best-selling author.

 Yeah, that is a tough one…

If you could live in California or New York, which one would you choose?

I was born in California but lived most of my life in a suburb of New York.  I love both, but I’m going to pick California because of the gorgeous weather. 

What, you mean you like sunshine and diversity? 🙂 Me too!

Okay, how about Ireland or England?

I’ve visited both—Ireland once and England three times.  I thought the people in Ireland were some of the nicest of all the European countries I’ve ever visited, but of the two countries I feel most at home in England.  Plus, England has the royals, who are fascinating!

My wife and I went to Ireland last year and fell in love with the country… and each other.

What is your favorite spoof movie (I like Scary Movie)?

I love the Scream movies.  In fact, it was the first horror movie I ever watched, if you can believe it.  Growing up, I was so afraid to watch Friday the 13^th any real horror movie, so watching Scream was a good introduction.

Is there anything you’re currently working on?

Yes, I’m almost finished writing the second book in the Elected trilogy.  I think the second book is even better than the first.  My writing keeps getting better, and the second book is even more action-packed.

Who is your favorite author and if you could ask him/her one question, what would it be?

My favorite author will always be Roald Dahl of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory fame.  I’d ask him how he got his first book published because I always like asking famous authors how they started out.  It’s always different.

Lightning round:

Ocean or mountains? Ocean definitely, although I got engaged on a mountain.

Apples or oranges? Oranges

Skittles or M & M’s? M & Ms hands-down!

Happy or sad ending to a novel? Definitely happy ending.  I don’t even really want to read a book with a sad ending unless at least the main character somehow grows in a beneficial way.

Beer or wine? Wine…from Linganore Winery!  Mmm…peach wine!

Flying or driving? Hmmm…I think flying.  No matter how many times I fly, I’m still enthralled looking out the window at the world below.

Hunger Games or Harry Potter? This is such a hard one.  I love both so much.  I suppose Hunger Games because it helped inspire me to write ELECTED.

You’re stranded on a desert island and you can take only three things with you. What are you bringing?

I’d love to be nostalgic and say something like “my photo album” or “a writing tablet,” but I’m more realistic than that.  I’d want to get the heck off the island and back to my family, so I’d take:  flares, a two-way radio, and strong silk fabric to make a sail!

You only get one flare 🙂

You’re able to sit down with any president in United States history. Who would you choose, what would you talk about, and would you rather have him over to your house or meet him at the White House?

I’ll meet him at the White House.  I’d choose Nixon and get him to start investing in alternate energy cars way back then.  Think how the world would be different right now if that one thing was different.

Rori Shay lives in the Washington, DC area with her husband, daughters, black lab, and cat – just not quite in the same exciting circumstances as Elected’s main character, Aloy.  She enjoys running, gardening, reading, swimming, snow-shoeing, volunteering with the Dwelling Place non-profit, and right now…writing the second ELECTED novel!

Meet the Author: Morgan Jane

Today, we’re sitting down with the highly-intriguing author, Morgan Jane. Take off your shoes, open up a new tab in your browser, and prepare to buy one of her amazing novels.

You are a new author with fantastic covers. Tell us the name of your two books already published and the one on its way.

Thank you! The covers were made by my husband W. Solomon Mitchell. He painted Sanguis City’s cover on canvas before he worked his graphic art magic and it is hanging on my wall. The Education of Lilanoir Rue and My Name is Noir are both novellas that are prequels to my upcoming paranormal series Sanguis City. They aim to tell the main character’s story before she is living in the city of blood.

Oooh, I love novellas!

So you’ve got a chance to make two wishes but they can’t have anything to do with you. What would you wish?

I would wish to stop all wars (forever) and eliminate poverty. I suppose, I am wishing for a utopian society.

If you could write your next novel in any country in the world, which one would you choose?

I would spend the year in a chateau in France writing the second in the Sanguis City series but then I would have to come home. I like the United States just fine.

What is your favorite one hit wonder (I’m thinking Chumbawamba)?

If I have to pick one, I would say “White Horse” by Laid Back. I was so little when I heard it, I had no clue that the lyrics were talking about drugs. It is the beat I love and that song influenced Prince to write Erotic City.

What can we expect from you over the next twelve months?

Sanguis City is coming out in July and the second in the series in December. I have so many books in the works, all half finished. I don’t know which one it will be but I will be releasing an unrelated book too. I have a goal of 50K twitter followers by next year. I plan to take over the world!

That’s awesome! I love someone who is ambitious.

Who is your favorite author and if you could ask him/her one question, what would it be?

Even with all the brouhaha over Charlaine Harris latest book, I will still call her my favorite. I would love to know why she wrote about “Literary Fangbangers” in her latest book. She seemed to be putting down people who are obsessed with reading and writing vampire books. Even though the author only had her main, beloved, character have the opinion, a lot of readers have taken it as a slight to us, her fans. I would love to know if she meant it that way. Because that is how I took it and it hurt! 

 Lightning round:

Ocean or mountains? Ocean, just because I have been in the mountains for years.

Chicken or steak? Steak, I love animals, with ketchup! I just lost vegan fans everywhere. Can I say that it is cruelty free, grass fed beef?

Popcorn or chocolate? Chocolate!

Happy or sad ending to a novel? Happy, but I want to work for it… angst!

Beer or wine? I would say wine but I just had a Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale and I would drink one over wine any day!

Flying or driving? I just flew to NYC and I say fly, if the plane is big…drive if the plane is small.

Biographies or historical fiction? I have read so many biographies that I will take historical fiction. Give me Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter please!

    

You’re stranded on a desert island and you can take only three things with you. What are you bringing?

A boat and 2 paddles!

You’re able to sit down with any president in United States history. Who would you choose and what would you talk about?

Bill Clinton, who would talk? No seriously, we would talk… I used to be a political blogger so I have a list ready for the next time I see him. It’s not that I wouldn’t love to talk to Abraham Lincoln or JFK but I am more interested in current history.

Morgan Jane is:

A Pioneer Blogger and ex-political wingnut gone fan fiction writer, now I am working on my upcoming Paranormal/ Urban Fantasy Series. I love graphic design, painting, knitting, quilting, gardening, cooking, writing, taking beautiful photos but have never taken my creative side seriously until now.
