Struggling with Acceptance: An Interview with Catherine Shields
Catherine Shields is an author who answered my call-out on Instagram regarding upcoming interview slots, and I’m so glad she did! While I don’t write memoir, it’s one of my preferred reading genres, and her debut, The Shape of Normal: A Memoir of Motherhood, Disability & Embracing a Different Kind of Perfect, is at the…
Read MoreSearching for Home and Community: An Interview with Mary Camarillo
I first crossed paths with author Mary Camarillo back in 2021, upon the launch of our debut novels. Since then, thanks to social media, of course, we’ve stayed somewhat connected. I was thrilled to know she had another book coming out this year, and even more thrilled that she agreed to a second interview. Those…
Read MoreRepacking Real-World Issues: An Interview with Lyndsey Garbee
It’s been a minute since we’ve had an author interview on the site, as schedules don’t always align. And so we must adjust! As we approach the end of 2023, we have another Warren Publishing author—Lyndsey Garbee. Her debut novel, The Trials of Imperium, is out now, and readers are enjoying it. One reviewer wrote,…
Read MoreBeing Passionate About a Project: An Interview with Meg Rosenthal
Romantic comedies are some of my favorite books to read. They give me an escape from the everyday grind, and they allow me to focus on joy, happiness, and goodness. Meg Rosenthal is the author of such a book. Her debut novel, The Right Words, was released by Warren Publishing in 2022, and it “celebrates…
Read MoreStanding Up and Speaking Out: An Interview with Paula Dáil
Author Paula Dáil came to me via Warren Publishing, which released her novel Fearless last year.

Read MoreLearning about the Human Experience: An Interview with Megan J. Wheless
Authors come to this series from many different avenues, and one of those ways is via my network. For a few years, I did some freelance editing work for Warren Publishing, and late last year, their marketing director reached out to see if I had an interest in featuring a few authors. Well of course…

Every once in a while, I do a little call-out for authors to contact me if they’d like to be a part of this interview series. Author Stacey Thomas is one who heeded the call and messaged me, and I’m thrilled that she did! Stacey is a freelance writer in London with bylines in Daily…
Read MorePeering Behind That Façade: An Interview with Allison Dickson
It’s not every day that the people I interview live near me, but today’s guest does. And, I crossed paths with her, in-person, before I knew who she was. If I could only go back in time, I’d deliver a dramatic fangirl moment to Allison Dickson. Allison has been writing for years, and in addition…
Read MoreDon’t Be Silent: An Interview with Micki Berthelot Morency
Author Micki Berthelot Morency is an author to watch. Her writing skillfully weaves character development with plot and setting, and she approaches difficult topics with grace. Her debut novel, The Island Sisters, which released earlier this year with BHC press, is a poignant look into four lives, all affected by domestic violence. The story was…
Read MoreNo Choice but to Be Strong: An Interview with Roxana Trabulsi
Earlier in the year, a delightful email landed in my inbox from author Roxana Trabulsi. She’d received my name from a mutual connection and was inquiring about a possible book review. When I checked out her website, I knew immediately I wanted to hear from Roxana herself: front and center on her website is a…
