Author interview – Kate Grove

Hi Kate! Welcome! Tell us, when did you start writing, and why?

I remember my first story was a Christmas story for the animals. I was inspired by a children’s book I really like, and I think I was around seven at the time. But I didn’t decide (hah!) to be a writer until I was thirteen. That’s when I realised that there are people called writers, whose job is to write down their daydreams. Which is awesome.Read More →

Tom became an author, writer’s unblocker, meditation guide, temporal alchemist, and ambient music composer by accident. He still doesn’t know what he wants to do when he grows up.

Author interview – Tom Evans

When did you start writing, and why?

I wrote my first book by accident. It just came through. No reason or motivation other than to let the Muse take me.

At what age did you take yourself seriously as a writer?

This happened when I wrote my first book of pure philosophy, called This We Know. Here, I’m writing about what I thought about the world, as opposed to writing a book explaining a process.

How long did it take you to write your first book?

Author interview – Stefan Calin

Hi Stefan, thank you so much for your time! Tell us, when did you start writing, and why?

I started writing at a young age, probably around nine or ten years old. Back then, I felt I had so much to say and my first contacts with serious literature were so inspiring that the urge to write developed naturally. I started writing short stories and poetry that, however childish they were, provided me with a much-needed creative challenge.Read More →

Lasairiona McMaster grew up dreaming of an exciting life abroad, and, after graduating from Queens University, Belfast, that is exactly what she did. She spent seven and a half years in America and eighteen months in India, before repatriating to Northern Ireland in November 2018. With a penchant for both travelling and writing, she started a blog during her first relocation to Houston, Texas. Since repatriating to Northern Ireland, she has decided to do as everyone has been telling her to do for years, and finally pen a book (or twelve) while she tries to adjust to the people and place she left ten years ago, where nothing looks the same as it did when she left.

Her first book, Bloom Where You Are Planted is a part-memoir, part how-to guide for moving and living abroad. Rich with tips on how to expat like a boss, this book takes you on a journey from packing up her life in Northern Ireland to jumping in at the deep-end as an expat in two countries. Shortly after releasing her non-fiction book, Lasairiona published her first romance series, (Intimate Strangers, The Good in Goodbye and Fateful Coincidence). She is a hopeless romantic and is enjoying delving into the world of romantic fiction!Read More →
