Emily Weaver from Disintegrate interviews her author: Christine Klocek-Lim

Please welcome author Christine Klocek-Lim and Emily Weaver from the book Disintegrate. Emily has decided to interview her author, for a change.

Emily: So, what made you think you could write a book about a teenager? Aren’t you, like, old?
Christine: Hey, I’m only forty-three, that’s not old! And I used to be a teenage girl. I remember what it was like to want to get out into the world and see what happens out there without someone (a teacher, my mother) constantly telling ...more

ARe Talks To: Kendall McKenna

ARe Talks To: Kendall McKenna

From the ARe Archives: Our interview with Kendall McKenna appeared in the February, 2013 Wildfire.

Julie: How long did it take for you to get your first book published?

Kendall: I’m apparently very lucky and very unusual. It didn’t take long at all. I spent a good 3 or 4 years learning to write well. I learned to construct a story and a character arc and I learned pacing. I made a couple submissions for some specials calls and had them rejected. Knowing what I know now, ...more

ARe Talks To: Mandy Harbin

ARe Talks To: Mandy Harbin

This interview appeared originally appeared in the January, 2013 Wildfire.

Julie: Welcome, Mandy. Tell us about yourself? Where are you from?

Mandy: Hi Julie, thanks for having me! Hmmm… a little about me? Well, I live in Arkansas, which honestly, my location kept me from pursuing my writing career for years. I thought you needed to live in a major city or have big connections to make it as a writer. I mean, no one in Arkansas is an author, right? Wrong. After I got over that excuse ...more

ARe Talks To: Joan Swan

ARe Talks To: Joan Swan

This interview originally appeared in the August, 2012 Wildfire.

Julie: Who is Joan Swan and when did the dream of being a writer begin?

Joan: I can’t actually say I’ve dreamt of being a writer, exactly. At least, not in the way many authors dream of the life from childhood.  My interest in writing, while just as deeply creative and soul-nurturing is, admittedly, less romantic.

I started writing over a decade ago out of boredom and impatience. Before then, I’d been one of those voracious readers we authors love, and ...more

ARe Talks To: Lindsey Brookes

This interview appeared in the ARe Wildfire in September, 2012.

Julie: Who is Lindsey Brookes and when did the dream of being a writer begin?

Lindsey:  I’m a writer who loves to make people laugh.  Fortunately for me, my agent, Michelle Grajkowski from 3 Seas Literary Agency, does too.  We get each other.  She found a perfect match for me in my wonderful editor, Alicia Condon (Kensington Publishing).  Like Michelle, she gets my humor and even pushes for me to make my Possum Hollow Series books as zany and ...more

Meet Brenna Zinn

Meet Brenna Zinn

This week’s featured author, Brenna Zinn, says: Equally at home camping in the mountains of Montana or shopping on the Champs-Elysees in Paris, my journey through life has taken me all over the United States, as well as many places throughout the world. Using my travel experience as a guide and peppering in interesting characters I’ve met along the way, I love nothing better than artfully weaving erotic tales of romance and leaving readers yearning for adventures of their own.

Julie: Welcome, Lori. Please ...more

This interview originally appeared in the September, 2012 Wildfire.

Julie: Welcome, Diane. To get us started can you tell us a little about what you are working on or have coming out?

Diane: Thank you so much for having me!  At the moment, I’m putting the finishing touches on The Right Temptation.  This novella is linked to my current release, Still Hot for You.  I thought it would be fun to write a series featuring Latin heroes because there aren’t many stories like that out there.  Besides, it’s no secret women ...more
