Here is my interview with Pamela Beckford

Great interview with one of my favourite poets. Check it out.

Name Pamela Beckford
Age Not as old as dirt, but closer than I would like
Where are you from – northern Indiana
A little about your self `ie your education Family life etc
I have never left my hometown, a small rural community in northern Indiana. It was a great place to raise my daughter. Of course, she wasted no time in leaving and moving to a large city. Sigh. I have an adorable five year old grandson. I know everyone says that, but really he is adorable. He actually has done some modelling (it helps that my daughter is a fashion designer and has been able to expose him to many photographers).

Fiona: Tell us your latest news?
I published my third book in July this year. What an exciting adventure this has been.

Fiona: When and why did you begin writing?
I started writing poetry about 18 months…

Mirror Interview # 2 Elizabeth Tyree

Posted by Julian Froment

The second installment of Ionia’s mirror interview series, with author Elizabeth Tyree. Another interesting and revealing segment.

Why don’t we start with who you are? Is this a pen name?

My name is Elizabeth S. Tyree and I write for the YA and Children’s age groups. I suppose technically they call what I do ‘Fantasy’ but I try to make sure that it is written like mid-20th century works would have been…no sex, no graphic language, and if there’s a fight scene or nastiness we move through it quickly. I don’t use a pen name because I am also a teacher and the daughter of a preacher so I work with people of all age groupings. It would be confusing for many of them to try to find my work if I used a pseudonym!

Fantastic interview from John Howell, with the incredible Ionia Martin. Check it out.

Fiction Favorites

John: Before we start and before Ionia gets here, I have to tell you I am as nervous as a cat in a room full of rocking chairs. I have the opportunity to ask Ionia Martin a series of questions which have been designed to gain additional knowledge about this talented and beautiful person’s decision to become a reviewer. So why be nervous you ask? Why not be nervous? Can you imagine having the opportunity to ask really good questions of an icon and then come up short? . . . Er . . . let me rephrase that. Can you imagine having the opportunity of asking really good questions and then falling flat on your ass because the questions are too mundane or have been asked one hundred times before? To prevent this catastrophic situation I did extensive research and memorized every single interview Ionia has done over…

1 Write Way

Welcome to an interview with Jade Reyner, author of Twelve Days: The Beginning. Jade also has a blog, Jade’s Jungle, at www.jadereyner.com where she takes you along on her “self-publishing safari”!

M: Jade, thank you so much for agreeing to be interviewed. I’m excited to be able to talk with you about your current novel, Twelve Days: The Beginning, as well as the two sequels I believe you have planned.

J: Marie, it’s a pleasure to be here and thank you so much for taking the time to talk to me!

M: Can I get you anything? There’s a bit of a time difference between us so I think you’re in the right time zone if you want anything harder than tea. Some sherry, perhaps?

J: Thanks – but I am a true Brit, tea, tea and more tea.

M: Wonderful! I’ll make us a pot of tea, then. …
