Interview with Author – Kerry ONeal
My first two books were illustrated children’s books published by Lifevest Publishing in 2006. I wrote a short story in 2013 after my Mother succumbed to Alzheimer’s to commemorate her memory, which I completed in two days. Deciding to continue writing, I wrote another short story in one day. I finished eleven stories before publishing a book of 13 short stories, What If – An Anthology of 13 Short Stories, through Xlibris in Indiana. My Father was an author, concert pianist, artist, and dance instructor, and he always encouraged me to write until he died in 2003. Since then, I’ve written 15 books and haven’t stopped. My greatest influential authors are Micheal Crichton, Ann Rice, Stephen King, and Dean Koonce, with my favorite novel being All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque.
I was invited to the Spooky Empire Convention in 2018 and 2019, consecutively, as a guest speaker for Q&A sessions. I did several book signing tours before relocating to Illinois, where my family lives. I was interviewed by Kate Delaney in 2020 about my What If book and my latest novel, Nightmare, which has recently received three 5-star reviews from Reader’s Favorites. I published my book, Fractured Suture – Revelations of a Serial Killer, in 2023 for e-readers, soft covers, and hardback, in audiobook using a narrator from audible books. It received a 5-star review from Reader’s Favorites, as well. I was interviewed on a local FM radio station, Fox News from Rockford, IL. and CBS News out of Champaign. They are both available online for review. I’ve completed and published two more novels in late 2023 and 2024, Death is an Escape & Doppelganger, which received a 5-star review from Rader’s Favorites. Currently, I’m writing a science fiction thriller called Hoarder. The most important aspect of writing stories is constantly marketing your books and yourself because tens of thousands of books are published daily. I’ve written in almost every genre because my ultimate goal is to acquire as many readers as possible to enjoy reading my mind.

Interview with Author – Vered Neta
I am an author, scriptwriter & speaker I write character-driven drama stories focusing on women and the challenges they face in today’s society.
In my work, I focus on bringing kindness and positivity into the world. I am the co-founder of Open Circles Academy, located in Amsterdam. I have worked with more than 150,000 people and have written several books on motivation and relationships. My book, “Financial Independence for Women” has sold more than 50,000 copies.
In 2010 Vered was awarded the TIAW World of Difference Award, an award given to women whose efforts have advanced the economic empowerment of women locally, regionally or worldwide.
I’ve been an archaeologist, a top manager in high-tech companies and health institutions and, for nearly 30 years, a personal coach, trainer, and motivational speaker while owning and running the fastest-growing training centre for entrepreneurs in The Netherlands.
But after doing all that, I came to realise that I’m not growing anymore. I still had more things I wanted to learn and develop, which is how I came to challenge myself with a new career as a writer. Being heavily dyslexic, as a non-native English speaker, writing novels or scripts seemed like a Mission Impossible for me. Add to it years of non-supportive beliefs that I’m bad at writing and that I am not creative enough, and that sounded like a good challenge to tackle and grow through.
Since I started on this journey in 2017, I’ve written 4 movies and TV scripts, 2 novels, and I am now developing a TV series and writing my 3rd novel.

instructions. She lost everything. Her and her family was hit with the harsh reality of life when one of
your family members goes to prison.
On Saturday, May 23rd 2009 it changed Pamela’s life. She became a published author. Pamela has
been writing all of her life. But when your world of emotions, pain, sadness, become public it is an
indescribable feeling. You are letting the world into your world. That is what being an author is to me.
Creating your world as you see, feel and experience it and allowing people in to experience how you see
the world. You are allowing the world to know you on an intimate level.
Her first book Family Tyme! Don’t Get Caught Up! Her second book is Family Tyme! Pay Back is a
BITCH! And her third book is FYER! The Diary of a BI Sexual Woman! One of her big
accomplishments besides writing her books is her first book is an audiobook. This project is a movie
without the picture. She was one of the first urban authors to do a audio book in this format.
