Hi there, I always find it enriching to hear from fellow authors. Personally, my writing journey started with a deep fascination for 1920s Berlin. It led me to create Gereon Rath and the world around him. What inspired you to start writing?
Basically, I have a random brain that is always coming up with silly stories, Ideas, and Concepts, and taking a thread and unraveling it endlessly. So this is something useful to keep it occupied.
You know, I find your description of your mind quite familiar, it reminds me of how many of my stories begin: a stray thought, an image, a line of dialogue that won’t let go.
So let me ask you this:
When your imagination grabs hold of something, an idea, a scene, a character, do you follow it all the way down, or do you set it aside to build around it later?
I ask because both approaches reveal something about the kind of storyteller you are. One listens to instinct; the other to structure. Neither is wrong, but knowing which pulls you more might help you harness that wonderfully chaotic imagination of yours.
Tell me, what’s the last thread you followed that surprised you?
Hello,
I’m Raven Kennedy, a fellow author. I admire your work and wanted to connect. What’s been the most rewarding part of your writing journey so far?
Aye, I get it, life’s a heavy load sometimes, and we’re all carryin’ more than we let on. I’d sure like to sit down and have some deeper talks with ya about your writin’ and share a bit about mine too. How’re ya holdin’ up and keepin’ things steady through it all?
I'm Judith Hermann, I love connecting with fellow writers it’s always fascinating to hear how others found their way into storytelling. How did your writing journey begin?
I dunno. Kinda fell into it. Started writing down Ideas for paintings and sculptures. Journaling because of depression, and relationship issues, and then it just developed into poetry and then flash fiction. Then, nothing for a long time, until I recently picked up the projects and finally got around to going back and completing those original ideas. The trouble is that as they are started on, then more come to the surface..
Hello Henry I hope you're doing well! Just came across Book, the title alone caught me. 👀
The vibe of your book feels like something that’d look amazing in motion.
If your story had a trailer, what scene would you want as the highlight?
An Eye for an Eye resonate with me, I understand that you're busy, lately, I’ve noticed a shift, readers seem to engage more with stories behind the book or author, not just the cover and blurb. It’s been interesting seeing how small tweaks can lead to big boosts in visibility.
A lot of the authors I work with reach a point where a bit of extra support can make a real difference, whether it’s optimizing their Amazon presence, building a stronger online platform, or creating engaging content that connects with the right audience.
I’d be glad to explore ways we can grow your reach or take some of the marketing workload off your plate if it’s something you're open to.
I’d love to hear what you’re currently focused on, whether it's building reviews, growing your audience, or just sharing your story more widely. What’s your main focus right now?
I try to read all the Reviews. When I receive a constructive review, I take the criticism on board and then try to incorporate it into future work. Good reviews are very pleasant to have and enjoyable, knowing I have done something right; however, bad ones, where the review is just destructive and offers nothing, will make me go away and sulk for about 10 minutes. Then get on with something constructive.
I often incorporate my own experience in my non-fiction works, where it can help illustrate a point. In my fictional works, I frequently incorporate anecdotal references and personal experiences into the writing. Obviously, I cannot write an actual experience of murder, but my works tend to revolve around the psychology, not the actual. I do not want gratuitous gore fests in my books.
