    Raymond Parish, author of The Mighty Shall Fall

    Why did you choose to write in your particular field or genre?

    Mitch Maiman, author of Every Third Night

    What inspires you to write? I am inspired to write when there is a story that must be told. It must be done with passion and honesty, and preferably described by someone who has a connection with the material. It needs to be illuminated by complex characters through their conflicts and their frailties and highlighted […]

    What inspires you to write? My inspiration for writing comes from the passion I feel for it. I started writing back in school. It began with small articles for a Sharjah daily newspaper.

    Michele Kwasniewski, author of Falling Star

    Michele Kwasniewski, author of Falling Star

    When did you first consider yourself a writer? I grappled with the idea of calling myself a writer for years; I’m basically a reader who started writing. I have no formal training in story-telling and my grasp of the mechanics of English grammar frustrate and amuse my editors to no end. It wasn’t until I […]
