Wesley Britton, author of Return to Alpha
What inspires you to write? Almost anything can spark an idea in me—I often feel like Allen Ginsberg in his “A Supermarket in California” where he is shopping for images up and down the grocery aisles. I shop for images in phrases that I hear, books that I read, TV shows and music that I…

Harmony Project, Ep. 6: An Unexpected Call
While boarding the train car later, Mauricio wondered what Elisa might be preparing for dinner. Perhaps they would finish the leftovers from Isabel’s birthday dinner. His stomach rumbled with anticipation as he headed to an empty row. When he plopped down, he saw an incoming video call on his phone and his heart skipped.…

Photini Mina, author of Feed Me a Poem
What inspires you to write? Nature’s colors and sounds, the smell and taste of your food, the history of the countries and places you’ve visited, the stories of your friends and people you’ve met, the buildings you see while strolling, and the pets you caress is my daily source of inspiration! What is your next…

Harmony Project, Ep. 5: An Unbearable Weight
Mauricio kicked up his feet on the desk and leaned back. Using his cell phone, he turned up the volume on the new wireless speakers Orson Remington III had gifted him when FordTech and the Remington Center officially concluded H2F trials in Brazil, the final human trials for the novel drug. He closed his eyes…

Maricla Pannocchia, author of Letters from Afghanistan
Why did you choose to write in your particular field or genre? I don’t think I have really chosen it. I always had an interest, a call, for social causes. As much as I don’t have anything against books that are aimed for entertainment only, as I sometimes read them as well, I feel I…

Meet Inger Brown, author of The Bobbling series
Why did you choose to write in your particular field or genre? I have always loved picture books, as a child I loved looking at the pictures, being taken somewhere else. I am an illustrator and I enjoy doing jovial illustrations of characters and then writing stories for them. It is what makes me giggle…

Nihshanka Debroy, author of Checkmate
What have you written so far? I have one published book, Checkmate, a historical fiction thriller about the origin of chess. This is available in the Indian subcontinent.

Harmony Project, Ep. 3: Rock and a Hard Place
The gray sky threatened early evening showers, a welcome relief from the unusual heat wave that had rolled in days ago. Sitting in his living room, Mauricio stared at the houses across the street. Their narrow little neighborhood street in the Chiswick area of suburban London still felt claustrophobic to him. He missed the wide…
