Author Interviews
Listening to the People: An Interview with Meredith Berlin
Having read Seventeen magazine back when I was young, I probably stumbled over Meredith Berlin‘s name on the staff list many times, never knowing that someday in the future, our paths would cross with this series! But here we are, and I’m interviewing the former editor in chief about her debut novel, Friends with Issues,…
Read MoreServing as the Family Historian: An Interview with Robert R. Heath Sr.
Stories about family are what I write about, so Growing Up Army: The story of a soldier, his loving wife, and their nine adventurous Army Brats traveling the world in service to our country intrigues me. The author, Robert R. Heath Sr., is a Warren Publishing author whose debut memoir released last August. One reviewer…
Read MoreTaking Advantage of Happy Accidents: An Interview with Kelly Elizabeth Huston
Author Kelly Elizabeth Huston and I came together thanks to the Women’s Fiction Writer’s Association. She’s another author I’ve never met and one I’d love to chat with in real life. She writes “women-centric, genre-straddling fiction that always includes laughs and a love story,” and her most recent book, A Girl, Stuck, is third in…
Read MoreEnding Up Where I Need to Be: An Interview with Lydia P. Brownlow
The tagline for Lydia P. Brownlow’s debut novel, Vermilion Sunrise, is “Same galaxy. Different view.” The science fiction genre is one that I rarely read, but that tagline ensured the book’s spot on my TBR list. The book released in May of last year and has garnered great reviews. One reader said, “I finished this…
Read MoreLearning From the Past: An Interview with Ashley Lawless
Novels about mothers and daughters fascinate me, so I’m looking forward to reading Where We Began by Ashley Lawless. The book released in May 2023, and though it was Ashley’s debut, she says she’s been writing for ages and loves “sharing her stories with the people she loves the most.” One reader wrote of the…
Read MoreWorking Out My Own Feelings: An Interview with Kate Anderson
After a very long wait, author Kate Anderson is on the blog! Kate reached out to me about six months ago with interest in an interview, and though I was excited for her to join the series—after all, she described her book as “cozy horror with LGBT content”—I had scheduled my entire year out. So…
Read MoreThe Strength of Friendship: An Interview with Donna Norman-Carbone
Like many of my interviewees, I first met author Donna Norman-Carbone on Instagram when I put out a call for authors subjects. She’s patiently waited a long time for her slot, and in a way, I’m glad she did. Why, you ask? Because since that first correspondence, not only has her debut novel, All That…
Read MoreStruggling 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,…
