Book Interviews

Interview with T.J. and Jenn Menn, authors of 'Faith to Foster', recounting their experiences providing foster care for twenty-two children.

Author Helen Sedgwick about her book 'The Comet Seekers': “I knew that I wanted to write about people making different choices, and the multiple points of view allowed me to show why each of the characters make the decisions they do. It felt like the natural way to write a book about choice, and the ways in which we are both individual and connected.”

Interview with S. K. Nicholls author of 'Naked Alliances: A Richard Noggin Novel'.

Interview with Angela Pisel author of 'With Love From the Inside': "We, as a society, have executed innocent people. And that to me is not okay. In the end, this novel is about finding hope and forgiveness even in the worst of circumstances."

In her new novel 'The Regulars', Georgia Clark brilliantly combines feminism, true beauty, and a wee bit of magic.

Author and neuroscientist Ransom Stephens speaks about basketball, creativity, and meditation in an interview about his new book on how our brains work: 'The Left Brain Speaks, the Right Brain Laughs'.

"There are a number of ideas I was exploring in this novel: ideas of truth and fiction in war—how war is mythologized before, during and after the fact; how story-telling acts a way to cope with trauma; how the trauma of the Vietnam War was a trauma of the American family."

Interview with Stephanie Gangi author of 'The Next': "I went with the whole idea of a ghost as a kind of metaphor for women of a certain age, that invisibility, not to mention how marginalized you are when you’re sick. All of these things really coalesced for me in the writing of the novel, a sort of the ghost in the machine."

"I think a novelist has to feel a bond with all their primary characters, has almost to love them, in spite of or perhaps even because of their flaws. Unless you feel them deeply, they never truly come alive."

Interview with John DeDakis, author of 'Bullet in the Chamber'.
