1.  What three words do you think describe you as a human being?

Humor, compassion, dedication

2.  How do you think others would describe you?

He cares about people, and he'd like to leave this world a better place than how he found it.

3.  Please tell us what you are most passionate about outside of writing.

I'm most passionate about communicating concepts and ideas through professional, client-based, video production.

4.  Do you have any pets?  If so, introduce us to them.

We have a cat named Aubie, after the mascot for Auburn University. Aubie was wild when we got her, but she has become totally domesticated now. The funniest thing about her is she likes to play ball, just like a dog. The only difference is she doesn't bring the ball back. She'll race across the backyard, leap high into the air to catch the ball, and then she pounces on it. Aubie is a brown and black tabby. She purrs like a speedboat.

5.  What is your most precious memory?

We had Boxers when I was growing up. One day, someone stole our dog, Blitz. He was gone so long that my parents went out and bought a new Boxer. A few weeks later, when I came home from school, there was our dog, Blitz, nearly unconscious by the fireplace. His leather collar was almost severed, where he had pulled himself free, his feet were severely swollen from a long journey back home, and he was too tired to open his eyes. Seeing that big, lovable, sweet dog again was something I'll never forget.

6.  What is your most embarrassing memory?

We lived out in the country in Michigan when I was a child. There were lakes nearby, and it was customary for us to keep swimming trunks on, under our jeans. This gave us the option to ride out bikes all over the place, and go swimming whenever we wanted to. One time, I raced on my bike toward the lake, along with several of my friends. We dumped the bikes in the sand, and ran toward the water, as usual. Almost without stopping, we'd kick off our shoes, pull off our pants, and hit the water without breaking stride. But, on this particular day, I had forgotten to put on my swimming trunks in the morning...oops!

7.  If you weren't a writer, what would you be doing with your life?

I already get to do this through my video production company. It has allowed me to travel all over the world, meet lots of interesting people, and produce award-winning video programs and television commercials.

8. In two paragraphs or less write your obituary.

I think this is something best left to others who are more objective.

Max Elliot Anderson the writer:

9.   Can you describe the time you realized you were indeed a "real" writer?

This happened just after 9/11, when my client video production slowed down. I began writing, and shared my work with my father, who was the author of over 70 books. When he liked what he saw, that was the first step. Then my oldest sister, who taught creative writing at the university level, had a similar reaction. The final step was when my oldest brother, who is a voracious reader, loved my work. That's when I thought, "Hey, there just might be something here."

10.  What is going on with your writing these days?

A little over a year ago, I stopped writing in order to concentrate on building my platform, promoting my published books, speaking in schools, and exploring additional publishing opportunities. I located an agent, Terry Burns at Hartline, and this is opening some interesting doors. The truth is, I can't stand not writing, and look forward to picking that up again as soon as possible.

11.  What are your future goals for your writing?

I've completed a total of 35 manuscripts. I'd like to continue writing more stories like these, but, obviously, a wider market for them needs to develop before that would make much sense.

12.  Can you describe a typical writing day for you?

Most of my writing is done from around 6 PM until 11 PM. I also like to write on holidays and weekends when video clients won't be bothering me. Before I start to write, I've completed all my research. But I don't write to an outline. The story develops right before my very eyes, as if I were watching a movie.

I won't start a chapter that I can't finish in that sitting, and typically finish two or three of them in each session.

13.  Why do you write?

I find that I can't, NOT write. I'm more at peace, when I'm writing, than at any other time in my life. Helping others discover a love of reading simply adds to that fire.

14.  What writer most inspires you?  Why?

At first my inspiration was simply to write the kinds of books that I would have liked as a child. My father became an inspiration as well as a mentor, until his death nearly two years ago, at the age of eighty-three. I grew up hating to read. Now I write for other boys who might be growing up like I did. But the inspiration comes from the amazing responses I get from children and their parents when they tell me that one of my books was the first one they'd ever read all the way through. Not because they had to, but because they couldn't stop reading.

15.  How do you define your writing?

My books are a cross between the typical, linear page, and the highly visual world - with video games, TV, computers, and movies - where kids live today.

16. In one sentence-what do you want people to say about your writing in fifty years?

Max Elliot Anderson's books are just as exciting and relevant now as the day they were written, still reaching out to reluctant readers.

Max Elliot Anderson the details:

17.  Can you tell us where to find more information on you? Website?  Blog?

Author web site http://mailto:mander8813@aol.com

Books for Boys blog http://booksandboys.blogspot.com/

50 pages of reviews http://maxbookreviews.blogspot.com/

18.  Is there a place where readers can reach you?

Through the author web site and/or the blog

19.  Can you list all your book titles so people can look for them?

NEWSPAPER CAPER,  NORTH WOODS POACHERS, MOUNTAIN CABIN MYSTERY, BIG RIG RUSTLERS, SECRET OF ABBOTT'S CAVE & LEGEND OF THE WHITE WOLF

20. For new readers-what can they expect when they read your book(s)?

Readers tell me that reading one of my books is like being in - not reading - but being in an exciting or scary movie. This comes from my highly visual background of film and video production. Readers will find lots of humor, dialog, and heart pounding action in my action-adventures and mysteries written especially for boys...but girls love them too.

In conclusion:

21.  Take as much space as necessary to speak to our readers-what would you like them to know about you and your writing?

This is especially for people who have not been published yet. Understand that it takes time. It's common to read that many authors waited ten years or more before it happened. It seems like a sort of right of passage for things not to fall into place right away. And welcome rejections. They simply prove that you have at lease completed your manuscript - a task many never complete.

Then, just look at me. I grew up hating to read. I don't have the wealth of background to draw on from a life of reading good books. Yet, my books connect with kids. English was one of my worst subjects. It wasn't until I reached my senior year in high school that I got serious about my education. In college, my degree is in psychology, which I also find helpful in writing and character development.

So, don't get discouraged. If I can find a place in literature, so can you.

As long as you believe in yourself, it doesn't matter what anyone else says. Realize that sometimes, the people closest to us just don't get it, so they can be the most hurtful early on.

For us, it's a really big deal to step into writing, to pour out our insides onto paper, only to have others rip it apart. But if you have something important to say, it will shine through. Listen to, and learn from criticism, but never change who you are.

I write from my life's experience. The stories and characters become very real to me. Most of my books originate in places where I've lived, or where I've traveled to produce films and video program. I write because I love it.

You should only write if you love it too.

Max Elliot Anderson

Creative. Intelligent. Compassionate.

2.  How do you think others would describe you?

Approachable, a good listener, a good friend.

3.  Please tell us what you are most passionate about outside of writing.

Traveling and spending time with friends.

4.  Do you have any pets?  If so, introduce us to them.

I have two doxies, Sydney and Wyatt.

 5.  What is your most precious memory?

Spending time with my family at our summer home when I was a kid.

6.  What is your most embarrassing memory?

I couldn't tell you.

7.  If you weren't a writer, what would you be doing with your life?

I would be pursuing something artistic, like drawing or painting.

8.  In two paragraphs or less write your obituary.

Gayle Martin's mission in life was to do everything she could to preserve history for future generations.

Gayle Martin the writer:

 9.   Can you describe the time you realized you were indeed a "real" writer?

The first time I had a manuscript professionally evaluated by a potential publisher.  I figured I would get creamed.  Instead they told me I was very good - much better in fact than the majority of the prospective writers that approached them.

10.  What is going on with your writing these days?

I am currently working on the third installment in the Luke and Jenny series.  This one will be about Frank and Jesse James.

11.  What are your future goals for your writing?

To complete the Luke and Jenny series.  I have at least one more book planned - after that I'm not sure.

12.  Can you describe a typical writing day for you?

I have to work in my writing around other activities.  I often find I'll get my best ideas either late at night or first thing in the morning.

13.  Why do you write?

Why not.

14.  What writer most inspires you?  Why?

For the Luke and Jenny books the writer who most inspires me is Marguerite Henry.  She wrote Brighty of the Grand Canyon, and the Misty series of books that I loved as a child and read over and over again.  I hope that my readers will love my books as much as I loved hers.

15.  How do you define your writing?

I'm a storyteller, first and foremost.  Right now I write stories about two youngsters who are on vacation with their mother and they visit historic places where they run into ghosts who take them back in time.  On their time-travel trip they meet real people and witness real events.

16.  In one sentence-what do you want people to say about your writing in fifty years?

That Gayle Martin made history fun and entertaining.

Gayle Martin the details:

17.  Can you tell us where to find more information on you? Website?  Blog?

My website is gaylemartin.net, and I have a blog called ‘The Accidental Ghost Hunter.' It can be found at http:theaccidentalghosthunter.blogspot.com.

18.  Is there a place where readers can reach you?

I can be contacted by e-mail from my website.

19.  Can you list all your book titles so people can look for them?

My first book is actually a WWII era cookbook.  It's called Anna's Kitchen. My other books are Gunfight at the O.K. Corral: Luke and Jenny Visit Tombstone, and Billy the Kid and the Lincoln County War.

20.  For new readers-what can they expect when they read your book(s)?

My cookbook is an interactive history book.  Not only will they learn about the WWII home front, they can prepare the foods that people cooked back then.  With the Luke and Jenny books they can travel back to the days of the Old West and experience the real adventures of the real people who lived in those days.  They will find is it a lot different than Hollywood.

 
In conclusion:

 21.  Take as much space as necessary to speak to our readers-what would you like them to know about you and your writing?

I want to do what I can to get young people excited about reading.  I come from a family of readers.  I can still recall my parents talking about the books they read at the dinner table, so I grew up reading too.  I loved books.  I still do.  Books could take me to other places and times, and I could experience all kinds of things through the eyes of the characters in the books I read

 Books can ignite a child's imagination and inspire their creativity. I believe that children who read get higher grades in school than children who don't read.  And I believe that children who read will achieve more as adults than children who don't read.  

One of my sisters-in-law taught her children how to read at the age of two. Needless to say, she really encouraged them to read from a very young age.  Both children were straight A students all through school, then one grew up to be an engineer, the other a medical doctor. 

 Another sister-in-law did not read, and she would not encourage her children to read either.  One decided he liked reading anyway, much to her chagrin.  He too got above average grades in school and even majored in journalism in college.  The other, who never became much of a reader, was a C student and later became a college drop-out.  I think the lesson here for parents is that if you want your children to do well in school, and to be successful in life, you should encourage them to read.

Cathy Goodwin the person:

1.  What three words do you think describe you as a human being?

Maverick, adventurous, dog-lover

2.  How do you think others would describe you?

Maverick, adventurous, dog-lover

3.  Please tell us what you are most passionate about outside of writing.

Enjoying life in the city.

4.  Do you have any pets?  If so, introduce us to them

Oh yes...One dog: Gracie, age 5, adopted January 2006 from a rescue group based in Bellingham. She's a mutt who thinks she's a princess. It's like living with Paris Hilton: she has her adoring fans and I'm the support staff.

We also have 2 cats, both female rescues:  Tiger, an 18-year-old tabby, and Creampuff, a 5 year old calico.  Tiger's a sedate old lady and Creampuff is...well, a Creampuff. They tease the dog.

5.  What is your most precious memory?

My first dog Keesha, a chow-keeshond mix. We had many good times together in New Mexico, before I moved to Seattle.  She'll always be the best dog ever. Don't tell Gracie.

6.  What is your most embarrassing memory?

I don't know, but someday I may be embarrassed to say my most precious memory was about a dog.

7.  If you weren't a writer, what would you be doing with your life?

All my jobs have involved writing. If I were a better driver, I'd be driving a truck. Maybe next life.

8.  In two paragraphs or less write your obituary.

This one's easy. I've always moved a lot. In fact, I literally wrote the book on moving. It's been a joke for a long time: When I die, they'll write on my tombstone, "She finally settled down."  

 Cathy Goodwin the Writer

9. Can you describe the time you realized you were indeed a "real" writer

It never occurred to me that I wasn't.

10.  What is going on with your writing these days?

Too much! I'm working on ebooks, ezines and also copywriting for own products and for my clients.

11.  What are your future goals for your writing?

I'm working on a product that will combine audio and ebooks, introducing newbies to website marketing. Most books don't focus on copy: they just talk about design and techie stuff. So you get lots of people with beautiful websites with no content, and they wonder why nothing is happening. My book will help them.

12.  Can you describe a typical writing day for you?

Depending on the project, I may write first thing in the morning...or after I work out at the gym...or late at night if I've got a deadline. No day is typical. I'm deadline driven.

13.  Why do you write?

It's lucrative. And I love getting fan mail.

14.  What writer most inspires you?  Why?

Sharyn McCrumb. She writes mysteries and she's got an amazing command of the language.

15.  How do you define your writing?

It's just something I do.

16. In one sentence-what do you want people to say about your writing in fifty years?

The kind of writing I do - self help and how-to - tends to have a short shelf life. I'll have to keep revising if I want to be current in 5 years, let alone 50.  When I was an academic, I published research papers that are still being cited, up to 20 years after I wrote them. That's a good feeling. They're saying my work was important.

Cathy Goodwin the details:

17.  Can you tell us where to find more information on you? Website?  Blog?

Blog is suspended because we're moving to typepad. The address will be

I also have a career website:

19.  Can you list all your book titles so people can look for them?

20. For new readers-what can they expect when they read your book(s)?

Information you won't find anywhere else, delivered with irreverence and style you'll rarely find on the Internet.

In conclusion:

21. Take as much space as necessary to speak to our readers-what would you like them to know about you and your writing?

I would encourage you to visit my websites and see for yourself. Sample my writing through my articles and ezines. Visit my "about" pages for my bio. Have some fun!

Phyllis Campbell the person:

1. What three words do you think describe you as a human being?

Fun, loving, nurturing

 2.  How do you think others would describe you?

Hahaha...  My co-workers would describe me as silly, hard-headed, and a busy-body.

 3.  Please tell us what you are most passionate about outside of writing.

My Family.  Maybe this is where the ‘busy-body' comes in, because I always want to make sure my family is taken care of...and my kids are making the right choices.  Doesn't always happen...but I try.

 4.  Do you have any pets?  If so, introduce us to them.

Just one. Buddie - a teacup poodle.  He's been in our family for almost ten years.  The poor thing has had seizures since he was six months old, and now he's starting to show the effect.  He's blind in one eye and almost blind in the other, and he has arthritis really bad in his back legs.  Sad to say, but I don't think he's going to be with us much longer.  He's been a good dog, and we love him like part of the family.  It's going to tear us apart when he dies.

 5.  What is your most precious memory?

I have so many, but if I had to choose, it's probably when my daughters were born...also when my grandsons were born.  I cried from happiness.  I'm such a sap...  LOL

 6.  What is your most embarrassing memory?

Oh, you would have to ask this one...  Dang, I don't know if I can tell you.  Well, I'll be brave...  I was on my way to the airport with my husband's family to see his great-grandmother off. I'd been drinking soda pop, and my bladder was full.  When we reached the parking lot, I knew I had to find a bathroom soon!  But we still had to get on the shuttle bus and make it to the thermals, first.  Once I got on the bus, I started getting sick.  I couldn't hold it any longer.  It was literally making me ill.  So, I convinced my husband to get off the bus with me.  We found some parked cars with nobody around and...  Yup, I popped a squat and did my job-just as an airplane was going overhead.  I thought my husband would die from embarrassment.  At the time I was just relieved to go, because it was literally making me sick! 

 7.  If you weren't a writer, what would you be doing with your life?

Nothing!  I'd be a couch potato, so it's a good thing I'm a writer!

 8.  In two paragraphs or less write your obituary.

Phyllis Marie Campbell died with a smile on her face.  She had accomplished her goals and lived her dream as a romance writer.  She was loved by many and will be missed, but her stories will remain in our hearts forever.

Phyllis Campbell the writer:

9.   Can you describe the time you realized you were indeed a "real" writer?

It wasn't until I got my first contract.  That's when I was floating on air.  I couldn't believe I'd reached my first step in my writing career.

10.  What is going on with your writing these days?

I have plenty of stories to work on.  Currently, I'm completing an American historical which I'll be sending off to publishing companies this next year and hope to find a good home.  I also have a paranormal historical that's about halfway finished, but I'm eager to see the end of that story and find an agent.  AND...I'd like to try Harlequin / Silhouette with my contemporaries.  That's next year's goal.

11.  What are your future goals for your writing?

To be published with the big guys!  I have enjoyed being with small presses, but now I want to take a bigger step and see if I can get published with Avon, or Zebra, or any of those big name publishers.

12.  Can you describe a typical writing day for you?

Well, when I find time to write, my typical day would be - get out of bed in the morning, after breakfast get on the computer. WRITE!  Write more.  Have lunch.  Write more.  Have dinner.  Write like crazy before bedtime.  Unfortunately, lately my writing is as typical as I'd want it to be with my family and my job.  One of these days I'll go back to normal...

13.  Why do you write?

Because I love creating stories.  I love creating LOVE stories.  I adore writing about men and women and their problems - and falling in love regardless.  My daughters say I write because at least I can tell my characters what to do and they'll do it...which is what my kids don't do.  heehee

14.  What writer most inspires you?  Why?

A lot of writers inspire me.  I don't have a favorite, though.  Although Kathleen E Woodiwiss will always be my favorite author since she was the one who turned me into a romance novel lover.

15.  How do you define your writing?

Sensual.  Mysterious.  Intriguing.

16.  In one sentence-what do you want people to say about your writing in fifty years?

I wouldn't mind it one bit if my readers say that Phyllis Campbell's book are on their keeper shelves because they fell in love with my characters.

Lots of twists and turns.  Don't think you know the ending, because chances are, you're wrong.  Heeheee  I love to tease!

In conclusion:

21.  Take as much space as necessary to speak to our readers-what would you like them to know about you and your writing?

Take a look at my website and new trailers.  I have excerpts on every one of my books, which will give you a hint to what / how I write.  I totally enjoy writing romance, and I'll continue it as long as I'm physically able to write.  I love hearing readers comments, so please let me know what you think about my writing - and especially, what you would like to see from Phyllis Campbell in the future.

Nolan Lewis The Person

1.  What three words do you think describe you as a human being?

Pushover - Tenacious - Lazy

2.  How do you think others describe you?

Pushover - Talented - Creative

3.  Please tell us what you are most passionate about outside of writing.

Politics - It is my firm belief that the last war our troops were allowed to win was WW2. Since then they have had their hands tied by false boundaries which they couldn't cross while the enemy crossed at will.  I futher think, that whether we should have gone there or not, our biggest problem is the fact we turned tail in Vietnam.  The Taliban are sure we will give up like we did there if they just hang in.

4.  Do you have any pets? If so tell us about them.

I have one pet ... I have lived with her for over twenty years. She has five cats and one dog, so I don't feel the need. One cat moved in, uninvited, three years ago in January.  She lies on the sofa while we are watching TV, but we are still not allowed to touch her.

5.  What is your most precious memory?

Probably the birth of my oldest daughter ... I was in the delivery room.

6.  What is your most embarrassing memory?

I can think of a number of embarrassing events, but none that really stand out.  One comes to mind: I was going to take a client on a flight.  He was nervous so I spent some time reassuring him and then fired up the engine.  When I started to taxi I discovered I had forgotten to untie the plane.

7.  If you weren't a writer, what would you be doing with your life?

So far my writing hasn't paid enough to allow me to quit my day job. I have sold a few articles to a few magazines but as I mentioned above, I am too lazy to make it reach its potential. At my age, the question should probably be, what have you done, but the answer would require a long response. B-24 Pilot in WW2, where I became Public Information for some reason.  B-26 Pilot in Korea, more  PR.  Brief stint at Portland Oregonian followed by several years at KGW-TV News. Seven years at Portland Public Schools PR department. Emergency Services Director at Kelso, Wa when Mt St Helens blew her top. Deputy Sheriff.  Suffice it to say, I couldn't seem to hold a job... or got bored easy.

8.  In two paragraphs or less, write your obituary.

Nolan Lewis, died of gunshot wounds, inflicted by an irate husband, while bailing out of a second story window

Nolan Lewis The Writer:

9.  Can you describe the first time you realized you were a real writer?

Still not sure I am. I think I came closest when my London publisher said they would be printing my book in hard cover first with paperback to follow in about a year.  Just something about the mention of hard cover.

10. What is going on with your writing today?

Very slow at the moment - most of my writing was done in a computer with Windows ME. Since Microsoft has all but quit supporting that version, I sprung for a new laptop that came with Windows Vista. I have been fighting it for two months. I do have a few projects underway. At the request of my publisher of my WW2 novel, I have begun a sequel, carrying my protagonist into the Korean war.  I have sixty plus thousand words of a sequel to my mystery.  I have about half of a book, a creative non-fiction, tongue in cheek look at my experiences with Mt St Helens.  I have a forty foot wooden trawler, built in 1921, that I am restoring, and detailing the process.

11. What are your future goals for your writings?

Goals? What goals... I don't even plan my books.

12. Can you describe a typical writing day for you?

Again there is no typical day.  I may not write anything for several days, then get started and spend a whole night at he keyboard.  Discipline?  What's discipline?

13. Why do you write?

Certainly not for the money.  I live in a small town where I am known by most everybody as "the writer."  I find it flattering, but also a bit embarrassing.

14. What writer most inspires you?  Why?

I read almost anything, but try to copy my writing after me, not anyone else's.  I would like to think mine compares to Hemmingway, but not copies. One reviewer for Mid West Reviews compared one of my books to Mark Twain.  I asked her if that was before or after, as I understand it he wasn't too good without his editors.

15. How do you define your writing?

I try for a conversational tone - use quite a bit of dialog - never use large words if I can find a small one.   Definitely not literary I suppose. 

16. In one sentence- What do you want people to say about your writing in fifty years?

That it was a shame that his genius wasn't recognized much sooner.

Nolan Lewis The details

17. Can you tell us where to find more information on you? Website? Blog?

My WW2 book, Clouds Are Always White On Top, is published by One Off Publishing in London and is available throughout Europe, on the internet at Amazon and B&N, and any US bookstore who buys from Ingrams.  My mystery, Mauled, is available at the same stores on line and several stores in the Spokane area.  My self published, memoir, Ione Circa 1930, is available only locally.  More information at my website  (Did I mention, I am also a publisher) http://www.pendoreillepress.com/ .  Any of the books, I will sell at cover price and pay the shipping.

18. Is there a place where readers can reach you?

My email is: nolanclewis@yahoo.com

19. Can you list all of your book titles so people can look for them?

I think I covered this under 17 above but always willing to mention them again.

My WW2 Air War novel, Clouds are Always White On Top, Subtitled: Flying The Box The B-17 Flying Fortress Came In, has received a number of great reviews including two aviation magazines.

Mauled, I call a fun mystery - officially known as a cozy I believe.

Ione Circa 1930, self published memoir. The growing up in a very small town during the depression years.  Compared to Mark Twain by one reviewer.

20. For new readers - what can they expect when they read your books?

I don't believe in sex, blood, and foul language unless they fit the story.  My memoir, is entirely pure.  I think the worst is on the cover where I call myself one of the damn kids. The mystery has a few mild expletives and a lot of implied sex.  The WW2 story chronicles the experiences of a group of men - women weren't involved then - who lived under the threat best told by the expression, "Live for today for tomorrow we may die."

Nolan Lewis In conclusion:

21. Take as much space as necessary to speak to our readers - what would you like them  to know about you and your writing?

I think I have fairly well covered it.  I don't do outline - just start writing - and let my characters lead me where they want to go.  It is like I am watching a movie and just putting down on paper what I see. My hope is that my readers see the same movie.

1.  What three words do you think describe you as a human being?

 Young at heart, energetic and helpful 

 2.  How do you think others would describe you?

Easy to spend time with, fun personality, good friend with a heart of gold 

 3.  Please tell us what you are most passionate about outside of writing.

My passion is palmistry. It has been for 58 years. I write what I know about and  since I live, breathe and eat it 24/7, I write about the sessions I conduct or discuss  the methodology of hand reading. I participate in 28 Fairs and Trade Shows each year with a palmistry booth. I Also work for 8 Talent Agencies who send me out to corporate events as a Palmist. 

 4.  Do you have any pets?  If so, introduce us to them.

We lost 2 dogs this past year. Amber, our 11 year old yellow lab and Rocky a 9  year old black lab. We plan to get 2 yellow lab puppies in the spring.   

5. What is your most precious memory?

 I was working at a Grand Opening of a hotel on my birthday. I was instructed to   go to the lobby and wait to be called to the podium. The Mayor of Denver sang Happy Birthday to me in front of 500 patrons, tv cameras and a group of my friends who came to the event to support me in my work. 

6.  What is your most embarrassing memory?

In college I was in a skit presented to 42 sororities and fraternities and finally in   the football stadium to a huge gathering.  I had a speaking part and after I was  done I joined the group to dance through a routine.  The field was muddy; I stepped out of my shoe, finished the routine in 1 sock and 1 shoe and then danced myself back into the shoe.  The crowd roared but I was embrassed. 

 7.  If you weren’t a writer, what would you be doing with your life?

 Radio-Tv Broadcaster 

 8.  In two paragraphs or less write your obituary.

Myrna Lou Goldbaum, 68, born 1939 to Robert and Sadie Blum, Dayton OH.  Husband Howard Goldbaum. 1 son, Gary Edward Tremaine, age 45. Two stepsons, Elliott Goldbaum, age 21 and Nathan Goldbaum age 19. Grandchildren, Amanda Tremaine, 13 and Anderson Tremaine, 10. A life long palmist, author and fair participant, Myrna Lou Goldbaum lived life to the fullest. She enjoyed helping others.   

Myrna Lou Goldbaum the writer 

9.   Can you describe the time you realized you were indeed a “real” writer?

 Fourth grade when we were given our first creative writing assignment I read my short story. Not a sound was heard from the class. Everyone else had disruptions and talking while they were presenting their material. The class voted my story the winner. That day I knew I could write compelling short stories. 

10.  What is going on with your writing these days?

I have two projects going on at present. One is ¾ completed on the palms of  children and the other is being queried. I promote my three books at every event where I am a participant and sell quite a few of them.  

11.  What are your future goals for your writing?

 I would like to have a series of 5 books. The next one is on the palms of senior citizens. I will use my palm reading sessions for this book. 

12.  Can you describe a typical writing day for you?

No two days are the same. I am on the computer in-between conducting in home readings, preparing for fairs or setting up parties and lectures. I write for 30 minutes or two hours at a time. I can’t spend every morning or afternoon writing because my days are all different. I read ten people a week in my home. I am working before they arrive to be prepared to read them and after they leave it may take some time before I am able to settle down and write for myself.  I journal every session which takes an hour after the individual has left my home. 

13.  Why do you write?

I have to write. It is my expresion of the arts. I am a dramatic person and my writing reflects that flair. Something inside me compels me to write every day. 

14.  What writer most inspires you?  Why?

I love Danielle Steel’s books. She writes a smooth story line that I can picture in my mind. I also enjoy Erma Bombeck’s writing style which is comedy. 

15.  How do you define your writing?

 I write non-fiction using the human element. It is true to life with many characters. I write clearly and down to earth, easily understood. 

16.  In one sentence—what do you want people to say about your writing in fifty years?

Author Myrna Lou Goldbaum’s books written about the subject of palmistry were enlightening, entertaining and educational, leaving the reader wanting to know more.  

Myrna Lou Goldbaum the details:

17.  Can you tell us where to find more information on you? Website?  Blog?

My web site: 7 years over 700,000 hits, talked to people in 93 countries.                                        www.myrnaloupalmistry.com 

18.  Is there a place where readers can reach you?

 email  hmg@privatei.com

PO Box 19081             

Boulder CO  80308                       

Phone: 303-651-6273 

19.  Can you list all your book titles so people can look for them?

 MAY I SEE YOUR HAND?   Palm Reading for Fun and Profit                 

SOUL MATE CONNECTIONS    Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Relationships, Love, Romance and Soul Mates                  

DIARY OF A PALM READER  Palm Reading Sessions from 1956 to 2003             

I have the stock for all three of my books 

20.  For new readers—what can they expect when they read your book(s)?

My books sound exactly like me when I am talking, very conversational. They are easy to digest and they are all full of juice to make the reader sit up and take notice. They are coffee table books in that a person could read a story or two, put it down and later read another. 

In conclusion: 

21.  Take as much space as necessary to speak to our readers—what would you like them to know about you and your writing

Because I write about the human existence and my stories are true, I have had to change the individual’s names for confidentiality.  There is something for everyone in each of my books. The first one, MAY I SEE YOUR HAND?  is a How-To book. When I teach classes it is a requirement that every student purchase this book. SOUL MATE CONNECTIONS has two sections. The first 17 pages are of utmost importance for anyone seeking a mate. The topics discuss questions to ask, mistakes not to make this time, 15 qualities to look for in a mate and how to accidently on purpose find and bump into the ONE.  The 46 love stories in section two are taken from my palm reading sessions. The first story is about Erma Bombeck. My latest book is DIARY OF A PALM READER, Palm Reading Sessions 1956 to 2003. This book of 42 palm reading sessions covers everything not love-related. It has UFO’s, a holocaust victim, kidnapping, a cancer patient, ghosts, murder, a famous tv show host and many other stories in it.             

I am currently writing a palm book about children from birth to age 18. I have 35 stories written and would like to have 40 stories.  Currently I am sending out queries for my last effort titled PALMS READ IN LOVE & LIGHT.

I have the experience to guide, assist, aid or encourage my clients on their path.  I learned the craft of palmistry at the age of 10 and have been doing it ever since. My mother once asked me if I was tired of palm reading. My reply “How could I be bored when every hand I read contains valuable information.”            

I am known by reputation world wide as the Love Psychic – the Soul Mate Specialist. Relationships are my favorite topic to tackle in a reading. The wealth of story material that I can glean from every reading is enormous in scope. Every person I come in contact with has a plethora of information that I use when I am writing. I am the story-teller who sees life from the palm. 

AWARDS:           

*Seventeen Magazine Palm Reader of the Month on the internet.            

*#1 Palmist in the US BY Manchester Who’sWho of Professional Women            

*Woman of the Year at American Business Women’s Association            

*The Colorado Independent Publishing Association First and Second place in national writing contest.

To go national it has to be down for awhile then it can be picked up and sold into various markets. When it goes into syndication I will be promoting my books. I write my own scripts

1. What three words do you think describe you as a human being?

Loyal, honest, passionate

2. How do you think others would describe you?

Hopefully,  as a good friend, reliable, and probably obsessive LOL

3. Please tell us what you are most passionate about outside of writing.

My family.  I came to parenting late in life as my husband and I adopted our girls (then aged 5 and 7) from Russia.  To me life is all about family. 

4. Do you have any pets? If so, introduce us to them.

Oh, gosh yes.  And we're contemplating MORE!  Monty and Timmy are ginger cats. We've always had ginger cats, our first, Wally, for 17 years.  When Wally had to go to kitty-kat heaven we took the girls to the SPCA to adopt their own cats.  We've also adopted an abused puppy - Bingo - who is now 18 mths. He's a springer spaniel/jack Russell.  And I love him to bits.  Plus we've got 5 fish - but they come and go somewhat as we've not got fish tank life down pat yet.  Am very tempted to get another dog, a girlfriend for Bingo!

5. What is your most precious memory?

It would have to be a combination.  The first time if held /cuddled my girls, and then a few days later, when in Moscow, I was making their dinner and I realized that yes, I really loved these two girls, who at that time couldn't understand a word I said.  But then hugs and kisses are a universal language.

6. What is your most embarrassing memory?

Oh, heck I can't tell!  Too many to tell LOL.

7. If you weren't a writer, what would you be doing with your life?

I like to be either just a plain old housewife, I love being at home, love creating a family home, but I also absolutely love decorating so maybe something in that field.

8. In two paragraphs or less write your obituary.

Jane Beckenham loved life, her husband and her family more than anything in the world.  She loved her friends and counted them all as blessings and hopes that she has been able to give as much love to those about her, as she has been luck to receive.

Jane Beckenham the writer:

9. Can you describe the time you realized you were indeed a "real" writer?

I think it was then I wrote the end on my first novel, and then promptly turned around and started the next one...and I haven't stopped yet.  But more importantly, I can't stop!

10. What is going on with your writing these days?

At the moment, I'm awaiting edits for my newest contract with Red Rose Publishing.  It's a Sheikh story...The Sheikh's Proposal, plus I have three books out their I'm waiting to hear on, and another two on the go. 

11. What are your future goals for your writing?

I'm very goal orientated and hopefully structured.  2008 I aim to write 2-3 new novels, finish off the two I'm working on and hopefully get another couple of contracts.  My biggest goal is to sell to M&B either my historicals - which they have a full at the moment, or a contemporary for their Sexy Sensations line.  I am presently working on a marketing plan for the next six months, hoping to do more radio work etc.  But it all takes time!

12. Can you describe a typical writing day for you?

At the moment I'm working part time and so my days are a bit mixed up.  I try and write every day, if not new stuff, then at least editing.  If it's a non out of the home work day, then I'll write from 9am to 3pm, but if I'm at my other job, then I write mostly in the evening, and usually only a couple of hours.  I am trying to get a bit more balance in my life, but us obsessives struggle with that!

13. Why do you write?

Because I have to. 

14. What writer most inspires you? Why?

My friends, ND Hansen-Hill, Melody Knight, Yvonne Walus because of their grit and determination.  But all writers really, because it aint an easy job, that's for sure.  You gotta be tough.  I remember once I got a rejection letter. I was absolutely devastated.  By 4pm I'd wallowed in tears and self-pity for hours, by 5pm I was in the bath, soothing my soul, by 6pm I was on my 2^nd rum and coke and by 8pm I was back at the computer writing my heart out... trouble was although it was some of my best writing, I forgot to save it properly and lost most of it!  Note to self...maybe only one rum and coke next time LOL

15. How do you define your writing?

I've been told I have a historical voice...but then I love writing contemporaries too.  I think my voice is best at times with dialogue.  I love sassy heroines, women who are smart and give as good as they get.

16. In one sentence-what do you want people to say about your writing in fifty years?

Gee, I enjoyed that.

Jane Beckenham the details:

17. Can you tell us where to find more information on you? Website? Blog?

18. Is there a place where readers can reach you?

You can email me via by web site http://www.janebeckenham.com/ or neiljane@ihug.co.nz

19. Can you list all your book titles so people can look for them?

Hiring Cupid                        Linden Bay Romance

He's The One                           Linden Bay Romance

Be My Valentine                             Treble Heart Books

Always A Bridesmaid               Treble Heart Books

Woman of Valor                         Treble Heart Books

(Janelle Benham)

The links I've put in will lead readers directly to the book's information/buying page.

20. For new readers-what can they expect when they read your book(s)?

Definitely a HEA ending.  Just recently I was reading/editing He's The One, and I realized that this man - Cade Harper - is really sexy.  I think I try and bring really great men, sexy, smart, and definitely torn internally.  Both Hiring Cupid and He's The One received 5 star reviews and recommended reads.  I think it is the men that did it!  LOL

In conclusion:

21. Take as much space as necessary to speak to our readers-what would you like them to know about you and your writing?

That I really value my reader's input.  I love hearing from them and hope they take the time to visit my web site (which is a work in progress for a very technically challenged author!), plus my blogs.  I'd love people to come and chat to me there.  Also if you would like to join my newsletter, please do.  It comes out - hopefully- every month.  With author interviews, chats about different books and aspects of writing.

One of the most important things for me is perseverance.  I spent most of my childhood/teen years in and out of hospital, and again just recently (1999/2001).  The deal is, stick with it, it may be hard, but keep going.  For me, it was a matter of do it or don't walk again.  So if you want something so much it hurts, so much you can taste it, feel it, and mostly dream it, then keep going, don't ever, ever give up.

Best wishes to all your readers for the festive season.  May you all have peace and harmony, and the love and joy of family and friends around you always.

Happy reading.

Jane Beckenham

Dorien Grey the Person

 1.  What three words do you think describe you as a human being?

An amazingly difficult question, actually. But I might choose
"caring", "optimistic" and "egocentric."

 2.  How do you think others would describe you?

I would truly like to think they might use the three same words.

 3.  Please tell us what you are most passionate about outside of writing.

Life, and the excruciating awareness of its brevity. I am obsessed
with honor and dignity and trying as best I can to live the Golden
Rule.

 4.  Do you have any pets?  If so, introduce us to them.

I have a very cat (surprise!) named Crickett, who I got as a kitten
and have had now for nearly 18 years, I believe.

 5.  What is your most precious memory?

They vary, of course, but the two that leap to mind at the moment are
both related to my Navy days. First as a Naval Aviation Cadet, being
on a solo flight and finding myself utterly alone in a huge "valley"
created by a circle of towering clouds and looking down at the earth
far below. It was euphoric. Second, spending a week in Cannes, France
in the company of four young men my age—two French and two German.
None of us spoke the other's language all that well, but it was
without question one of the best times in my life.

 6.  What is your most embarrassing memory?

How much space did you say I have? There are far too many to relate here.

 7.  If you weren't a writer, what would you be doing with your life?

To be honest with you, I cannot conceive of being or doing anything
else. Of course, were I a millionaire, I probably could find a couple
of things to occupy my time.

 8.  In two paragraphs or less write your obituary.

Roger Margason, who wrote a number of books under the name Dorien
Grey, was finally dragged kicking and fighting across the threshold
between life and death. Though he had no physical children, he leaves
a large family of characters who to this day inhabit and enliven his
books.

He liked to think of his legacy as a being tree, the leaves of which
are comprised of his words, and under which he hopes future
generations might relax in shade and comfort on a warm summer's day.

Dorien Grey the writer:

 9.   Can you describe the time you realized you were indeed a "real" writer?

I can't remember a time when I didn't realize. As to when other people
realized it, too, that was a gradual and continuing process over the
years.

10.  What is going on with your writing these days?

I have three completed manuscripts sitting (none too patiently, I
freely admit) in my publisher's pipeline: book #12 in my Dick Hardesty
Mystery series, the first book in a new series which will alternate
with the Dick Hardesty series, and a semi-memoir consisting of letters
written to my parents while I was in the Navy so many years ago, and
which include detailed accounts of the two favorite memories mentioned above.
I'm currently nearly 2/3 through the second book in the new series.
And I maintain two major blogs and several minor ones. And in my spare time….

11.  What are your future goals for your writing?

First, I want to keep doing everything I can…such as accepting your
kind offer to contribute to your blog…to encourage as many people as I
can to take a chance with my books. Secondly, by writing series, I
intend to keep following the development and evolution of my
established characters as long as the reader wants me to.


12.  Can you describe a typical writing day for you?

While I have no set schedule, I do spend nearly every day from 7 until
5 writing...if not on a novel-in-progress, then on my various blogs
and keeping up with email and my on-line networking…and on any way of promotion I can think of.

13.  Why do you write?

Honestly? Because as mentioned above I am very aware of every second of time that passes, and I am driven to leave as much of me behind as I possibly can.

14.  What writer most inspires you?  Why?

I truthfully can't think of a writer I have ever read who did not
inspire me…positively or negativey…in one way or another. I alway pay
homage, though, to Robert Lewis Taylor's Adrift in a Boneyard, whose
style I have been paralleling since I first read it over 50 years ago.

15.  How do you define your writing?

I like to think of it as talking with a friend, for I seriously do
consider the reader and the writer as partners, and I consider my
readers as friends, even though we may never have met.

16.  In one sentence—what do you want people to say about your writing
in fifty years?

I wish I had known him.

Dorien Grey the details:

17.  Can you tell us where to find more information on you? Website?  Blog?

Glad you asked. My website is http://www.doriengrey.net and contains
information on (and the first chapters of) each of my books, as well
as video trailers on three of them, plus a drawing you're invited to
enter for a free autographed copy of one of my books. I have a blog of
random mind-belches, Dorien Grey and Me
(http://www.doriengreyandme.blogspot.com), the blog version of my
soon-to-be book A World Ago (http://www.doriengrey.blogspot.com) a
compilation of letters written home to my parents while I was in the
Navy at the height of the Cold War, and Dorien Grey: A Life in Photos
(http://www.doriengreyphotolife.blogspot.com) , displaying photos of
my life like a glass case of pinned butterflies. I also have
occasionally-posted blogs on AuthorsDen and Amazon.

18.  Is there a place where readers can reach you?

There's nothing I like more than hearing from my readers…or anyone who might be thinking of becoming one. My door is always open at
doriengrey@gmail.com .

19.  Can you list all your book titles so people can look for them?

Sure: thanks for the chance. The Dick Hardesty books, in order, are:
The Butcher's Son, The Ninth Man, The Bar Watcher, The Hired Man, The
Good Cop, The Bottle Ghosts, The Role Players, The Popsicle Tree, The
Paper Mirror, The Dream Ender, and my
western/romance/adventure/mystery Calico. I might suggest, if you've
not read any of them before, you might start with The Popsicle Tree or
The Paper Mirror. Any of the books can stand alone, and while the
characters continue from book to book and have been growing and
evolving since the first book, either of these two mentioned might be
a good place to start; then you can go back if yuo wish…as I hope you
will.

They are all available at or on order from any bookstore in the country.

20.  For new readers—what can they expect when they read your book(s)?

I hope they not only can expect to find, but will find, real, likeable
characters that you can identify with as human beings. The fact that
they most of my characters are gay is a deliberate choice, since I
want very much to show that what unites us as human beings far
outweighs our differences.  There's also a lot of humor, good, solid
plots with lots of red herrings to keep you guessing.  As I said
above, I look on the reader as a partner in each book.

In conclusion:

21.  Take as much space as necessary to speak to our readers—what
would you like them to know about you and your writing?

The best way for anyone to know about me and my writing is, of course, to read one of my books…or go to my website and read the first chapter of any book at random. It will tell you whether you might want to read more. I like to think of it as the potato chip principle…you won't be able to stop with just one.

I've covered a lot of ground in the answers to the questions above,
but please keep in mind that, to a writer, the reader is the most
important person in the world. Without readers, the words in books
would just be so many trees falling, unheard, in the forest.

And thank you again, Joyce, for the opportunity to talk with your readers.

Muriel Lindsay the Person

1.  What three words do you think describe you as a human being?

Sensitive, playful, creative

2. How do you think others would describe you?
            

Adventurous, caring, creative

3. Please tell us what you are most passionate about outside of writing.
           

The ocean and its creatures

4.  Do you have any pets?  If so, introduce us to them
       

Ridley Yukon of the North - highly intelligent blue eyed half Border Collie/half Husky who can say the words (in English) "Hello Mama"; his best friend Annie, a full bred Husky with a heart of gold but who would kill to put food on the table if it came to that; 18 year old golden long hair cat named Harriett who is the Queen and is flourishing, and 2 year old hoot and a half, very smart, more dog than cat tho in a cat's body Percy, who loves the beach and chasing crabs .

5.  What is your most precious memory?
  

Certain dolphin encounters I have had

6.  What is your most embarrassing memory?
         

 I must have repressed it . . nothing comes to mind

7.  If you weren't a writer, what would you be doing with your life?
           

A nature photographer (which I do lots of anyhow)

8.  In two paragraphs or less write your obituary.

Muriel Lindsay, the writer: She loved life and most of all the natural world. She felt at home with nature. She loved being physical and traveled the world exploring remote places to feel the energies of the ancient past and be informed by them. She fell in love with dolphins and whales and it was a lifelong love affair. There came a time when she could give back to them through writing and she chose to do that. They taught her and showed her things we all could use, and she shared it through the written and spoken word. The bond always remained something of a mystery but was a constant thread til the end of her days.

Muriel Lindsay the Writer

9.   Can you describe the time you realized you were indeed a "real" writer?
      

 Writing has always been second nature. I never thought of it as an identity any more than I would call myself a "breather" because I have always breathed. It is just a natural thing to me and always has been.

10.  What is going on with your writing these days?
     

Three different projects are percolating and vying for position for me to attend to. I am allowing plenty of percolating before I seriously jump in. Also, I am still newly nursing (marketing) my book that came out in September.

11.  What are your future goals for your writing? 
  

To keep writing as long as the inspiration is there. As I said, I have three projects in the works, two of them half done and also a half done screen play.

12.  Can you describe a typical writing day for you?
     

I write mostly in the white heat of inspiration (sometimes for hours on end) and then, once I have the bare bones, develop a rhythm of daily re-writes. My discipline is not based on an external clock but on an internal understanding of how to get the job done in my own unique way. Rigid schedules do not work for me so I have no "typical" day.

13.  Why do you write?
     

To find out what I know, think, feel and believe.

14.  What writer most inspires you?  Why?
       

I am a big fan of Tom Robbins. He is just brilliant and informed and irreverent in an enlightening way. And his creativity is off the roof. And Kurt Vonnegut. What can I say. . . he is a national treasure. He is not bitter or cynical even though he sees the "offness" of a culture gone awry so clearly And Carlos Eyles, who has written magnificently about being in love with the sea. He is like my underwater soul mate.

15.  How do you define your writing?
       

Conversational in tone. Simple. Heartful and easy for people to see me in it.

16.  In one sentence-what do you want people to say about your writing in fifty years?

         You can tell she loved her subject matter and she certainly made it clear why she should.

17.  Can you tell us where to find more information on you? Website?  Blog?
         

www.thedolphinpost (currently being re-done)

18.  Is there a place where readers can reach you?
     

Email: comdolph@aol.com  or www.thedolphinpost.com

19.  Can you list all your book titles so people can look for them?
      

The Chronicles of the Savannah River Dolphins (currently out). Books in progress are: Deep in the Delphic Wave (autobiographical); The Adventures of Toby, the Dolphin from Tybee (fictional children's book); From Easy With Love (screenplay); Big Brain Dying (a wake up call about sound pollution in the oceans).

20.  For new readers-what can they expect when they read your book(s)?  

Hopefully to look at things somewhat differently and to feel expanded in heart and mind.

In Conclusion

21.  Take as much space as necessary to speak to our readers-what would you like them to know about you and your writing?
  

 In conclusion: Thank anyone for taking the time to check out what I have taken the time to share. That is a wonderful gift to me and I would hope what I share can be a gift to you. My main message is love the privilege of being alive and part of nature, and always take care of her. Play by her rules. She knows best.
