EJ:  When did you begin writing?

Emma:  I have been writing for almost as long as I have been reading though it wasn't truly until I started blogging that I started to think more seriously about trying to make it my profession. I love writing and it is my hope that others will come to love my writing too. If so, I hope to be writing novels for others for many ...

Please welcome today's guest author Lisa Sanchez!  Lisa is the author of Eve of Samhain.

EJ:  When did you begin writing?

Lisa:   I've always had a creative flair and have been writing since I was a young girl. Most of my free time was spent dreaming up different stories and then sharing those stories with anyone who would listen. I wrote creatively until I started my family, at which point I was too tired to do anything but sleep during my few minutes of spare time. Now that my girls are olde...

She Smells the Dead (Spirit Guide, book 1) by E.J. Stevens

It's the beginning of senior year and Yuki's psychic awareness of ghostly spirits is threatening to ruin her life. Her ability to sense spirits of the dead isn't glamorous like the ghost hunting on television.

Please welcome today's guest author Sonya Clark!  Sonya is the author of the recent urban fantasy release Bring On The Night.

EJ:  When did you begin writing?

Sonya:  I've been writing as long as I can remember. The oldest stories I have are a couple of one-page stories from the second grade. It wasn't until about three years ago that I started working seriously on both improving my writing and actually finishing manuscripts. My first finished novel was terrible, but I love it anyway.

Blood Promise (Vampire Academy, book 4) by Richelle Mead.

Now Rose must journey to the ends of the earth to find--and kill--her one true love... Or has the time come to join him?


Rose Hathaway must risk losing everything, even her best friend, in order to fulfill the wish of the man she loves .  Blood Promise is another fabulous addition to the Vampire Academy series.  I am always surprised at how each of the books in this series is even more suspenseful and heartrending than the last.  Mead'...

Please welcome today's guest author Ilie Ruby!  Ilie is the author of The Language of Trees.

EJ:  When did you begin writing?

Ilie:  I began writing when I was old enough to hold a pen, probably about 3. I asked for my first typewriter when I was 6. I actually wrote a letter to the tooth fairy in which I was gunning for enough money to buy a typewriter in exchange for one of my front teeth. It seemed like a fair trade to me.

I keep a locked box in my office—ok, its a sort of vault that holds o...
