Interview with Author – Neil Vickers

Interview with Author – Neil Vickers

Born in the late fifties, went to school in Derby England, mainly midstream education. It was a lack of concentration that made me lose my place at the top grammar school, the exams went disastrously wrong. It was never a good thing asking me to concentrate, my mind would always be somewhere else, thinking all the time about other things. Being at school was a secondary chore in place of a primary, although I was always marked good for turning in every day. I had little absences from school but juggled time between school and play. I was a bit arty and crafts at school was a subject I enjoyed, my teacher more or less begged me to go to art school as he said I was his best student in years but the lure of a city and guilds apprenticeship in plumbing and heating with wages outweighed the other of five years at art school with no incentive beyond that.
Nature was what I enjoyed when I was younger and all the books I read would have been linked to birds or animals. My early days would be spent walking in the countryside with my friends to see nature thriving around us. I still enjoy going out and getting as close to nature as I can.
I was busy after my apprenticeship finished whilst I tried to start my own business as a self-employed plumber installing central heating systems. I eventually moved into building work, a fairly natural progression into property and creating a portfolio of property rentals.
I started to write manuscripts on different subjects without publishing any of the unfinished work due to my workload that I had created, and time was not a luxury I could afford. I had not read novels as I was more interested in nature and I was fascinated by nature and its diversity. I would watch programs on animals, the ocean and its inhabitants, birds of all kinds from the biggest hawks and vultures down to the smallest hummingbirds. Reptiles were always something that I enjoyed reading about and the environments they lived in.
I spent the last thirty years building new houses and large care homes for the elderly and running the day-to-day administration of caring for the elderly residents. I started writing books again with a view to publishing them after the pandemic (Covid), it had given me a new lease of life to start writing again but this time not to just write a manuscript but to write it and publish it.
I seem to have been born with a gift of a creative mind and photographic memory, the books I write just seem to flow out my head as I am writing them. I seem to be able to write in any genre including fiction of course. I consider myself lucky as I have never read any fiction books. I find I do not affiliate my writing with any other author and do not mimic the style of any. I do my best to make a book exciting to read and entertaining for the reader.
I have two books currently in the worldwide market True Love Unlimited and True Love Unlimited The Conclusion. The latest book True Love Unlimited The Conclusion has won the gold prize for its genre Romance, Action, Thriller and I thank Chick Lit Café for giving me the first prize for my book.
I have just completed my new sci-fi book The Sixth Dimension Defined and will be published. We aim to release the new book for sale early July 2024.

Interview with Author – Christine Germain

Christine M. Germain is an Award-Winning Best Selling Author of Horror and Mystery Thriller. Born March 8, 1981, in Brooklyn, New York, she found her passion for writing in 1993 and wrote her first horror story at twelve. Watching horror movies and reading young adult horror fiction novels influenced her love for writing a story with a protagonist that looked like her. African American women weren’t portrayed as solid leads in horror films or books. Instead of waiting to see if that would happen, she created a story that she would love to read and watch on the big screen that catered to more diverse characters.

Admiring authors such as Stephen King and R.L. Stein, Christine pursued her writing journey, majoring in literature, and graduated with a performing arts degree. Known for an imagination unlike any other, Christine is ready to take you to a thrilling shape-shifter world with her series, “The Brother’s Curse Saga.”

Interview with Author – M. J. Feinauer

I moved to the metro-Atlanta area in November, 1983 from a small town in mid-Michigan.
It was here that I began my professional career in manufacturing. My business contacts allowed me to meet people from around the world, to learn their cultures and give me the opportunity to share our American culture with them.
Almost four years ago while on a lunch break, I was watching a network news station where the panelists talked about the upcoming presidential election.
Like being hit by a lightning bolt, the idea for my first novel, found its way into the empty corners of my mind. Believe me, I have plenty. From that day on I slowly developed the story on my lunch breaks and any available time I had on the weekends.
With the support and love from my wife, my family and several close friends, I am proud to say, I have completed my debut novel— Neptune’s Chalice.
I have chosen to publish this first novel, in eBook format. Take a moment and view the trailer of this suspense thriller.
I hope you enjoy it, and I am looking forward to reading your reviews.
