An Interview with Paranormal Romance Author Shiela Stewart

Shiela Stewart has been writing for the better part of twenty years, pouring her heart out in words, living a fantasy through the characters she creates. It has always been a dream of hers to have her work published, a dream she has finally seen come to life.

When not writing, she is busy working on a website for organization she belongs to, tending to her three children, and spending time with the love of her life, William.

Shiela has a deep affection for animals and it’s evident in the five cats, one dog, eight fish, and three turtles she owns. Aside from writing, she enjoys sketching, painting, singing, and dancing, as well as stargazing, astronomy, and astrology. Her favorite time of the day is sunset.

Welcome to Beyond the Books, Shiela. Can you tell us whether you are published for the first time or multi-published? Can you give us the title(s) of your book(s)?

Thank you so much for having me here today!

I am a multi published author whose first book, Kidnapped, was published in the winter of two thousand and seven followed by my second novel, Secrets of the Dead which came out in the summer of two thousand and seven. Discovery in Passion, book one in the Passion series was published in November of two thousand and seven, Escape in Passion followed in January of two thousand and eight and book three, Mercy in Passion was released in March of two thousand and eight. Finally, my current release, Seducing the Darkness, book one in the Darkness series was released on July 1^st.

What was the name of your very first book regardless of whether it was published or not and, if not published, why?

My very first book was titled, Too Young Too Evil and was never published. Why, you ask? Too raw. I wrote it when I was thirteen.

It was a story of a young girl who delves into black magic and finds herself becoming obsessed with it to the point of killing off her family.

It was very dark and definitely not a romance. It was a good story and if it probably would make a great scary movie and the more I think about it, the more I want to revise it. LOL Who knows, it could be a block buster someday. Ah…I live in a dream. LOL

For your first published book, how many rejections did you go through before you either found a mainstream publisher, self-published it, or paid a vanity press to publish it?

Oh, there are too many to count. I have a box of rejections. But that was before I knew the proper way to submit a novel to a publisher. I’ve learned so much in the year and a half since Kidnapped first came out.
I was so frustrated and jaded at the whole process that I was about to give up on writing. Then I decided to try one more time. I entered Awaken the Demon, a novel that has yet to be published, in the Starlight contest held by Linden Bay Romance. Though I didn’t win, I was one of the last three finalists.

It was enough of a boost for me to consider submitting something else. I searched through my many manuscripts, trying to decide which one to submit. You see, I’d handwritten over fifty novels at that point, all waiting for a publisher to give them a home. I decided to submit Kidnapped, a comedy and the senior editor at Linden Bay Romance sent it back to me with suggestions on how to fix it up. She continued to guide me while I rewrote the book and then much to my surprise and delight, I was given a contract for the book and haven’t looked back since.

How did the rejections make you feel and what did you do to overcome the blows?

With the first few rejections I took it in stride. I figured the book I had sent just wasn’t to their liking. But when more kept rolling in I started to doubt myself. Was I good enough to become and author? All the rejections told me I wasn’t. It’s hard to take when you keep getting rejected. You pour your heart out into your story, spend hours crafting it, building your characters only to have someone tell you, “It just isn’t right for their company” It really hits the heart.

I nearly gave up. I figured I just didn’t have what to took to be an author. And even thought I felt defeated, I couldn’t stop writing. The stories kept pouring out. And there was always that little voice inside my head that said, “Just one more time”

I’m glad I listened J

When your first book was published, who published it and why did you choose them?

Linden Bay Romance published my very first book and I’ve stuck with them—or they’ve stuck with me—ever since. I had so many files on Publishers that it was beginning to make my head spin. Then one day as I was browsing over a newsletter from a writers group I belonged to, I saw the word, “Contest” It intrigued me enough to read on. It was an invitation to Linden Bay’s Starlight Contest, open to all non-authors. The winner would receive a contract with Linen Bay Romance for the publication of their book. The little voice inside my head said, “One more time” and so I looked into the company, researched what style of romance they liked and submitted one of my stories. I held my breath and waited. I was one of three finalists which gave me a huge boost and even though I didn’t win, I was given a full detailed roprt on why my story wasn’t chosen. It was enough for me to feel like I just might be able to do this after all.

How did it make you feel to become published for the first time and how did you celebrate?

Oh, I was beside myself with joy. LOL I read the letter, stared at it for a few minutes then started yelling, “I did it. I finally did it” My children thought I’d lost my mind. LOL

I’d been married for twenty years at the time, was a stay at home mom pouring my heart into giving my children everything they needed and more but seeing that contract…well, I felt like I had finally accomplished something in my life. This was solely mine. I created it, I worked hard for it and I achieved it. And that was the greatest feeling in the world. J

I didn’t graduate from high school and I never went to University. So achieving my goal of becoming an author meant a lot.

Two days later my hubby and I went out for a nice dinner alone which is a rarity in of itself. J

I also received a wonderful chest filled with goodies from my youngest sister along with a card that said just how proud she was of me. It moved me to tears.

What was the first thing you did as for as promotion when you were published for the first time?

Oh Lord! I went overboard. LOL

I contacted a printing company and had five hundred mouse pads and fridge magnets made up with my book cover and info. I still have a great deal of them. LOL

I’d done a lot of research and had been instructed to have items to give away to readers who participate in my contests. Well, I had no idea how much I would need. That’s one of the first pieces of advice I give to new authors. Don’t go overboard on promo items. LOL

If you had to do it over again, would you have chosen another route to be published?

I wouldn’t change a thing. I am overjoyed with Publishers I am with now. The gals at Linden Bay are phenomenal and so easy to work with and very understanding. They are quick in responding to questions or problems and they’ve been so helpful to me while I learn everything there is to learn about being an author.

Have you been published since then and how have you grown as an author?

I’ve had five books published since my first book a year and a half ago. Not bad, I think at least, for someone with no education and no clue to what she was doing. LOL Plus, I’ve signed contracts for four more books which are part of a series.

Seducing the Darkness comes out on July 1^st

Desiring the Darkness: September
Embracing the Darkness: November
Charming the Darkness: January 2009
Penetrating the Darkness: March 2009

I’m pretty proud of myself for accomplishing what I have so far.

I’ve learned so much since my first book was published. When I first began, editing took months and there were rewrites that needed to be done as well. Now, editing is a piece of cake. But with each book there is always something new to learn and like with any job, you never stop learning.

Looking back since the early days when you were trying to get published, what do you think you could have done differently to speed things up? What kind of mistakes could you have avoided?

I definitely could have done more research into creative writing, and learned more about how to write and create a good story. That was my biggest problem was I had no idea the proper etiquette in writing.

What has been the biggest accomplishment you have achieved since becoming published?

I find that since I’ve been published, new things come up everyday that thrill me! For instance, my first book, Kidnapped, reached number one most recommended read on Ebook mall and stayed there for several days before dropping to number two. Having any of my books hit number one on anything is pretty darn exciting!

And the week after I had my very first book signing for Kidnapped, it hit the number one best sellers list for trade paperback romance at McNally Robinson’s Book store! I’m still giddy about that and it also makes me nervous. I have a book signing coming up at the end of July for all three of my passion books. They have a lot to live up to if they want to beat out Kidnapped. LOL

If you could have chosen another profession, what would that profession be?

Once upon a time not so long ago I aspired to become a counselor. I wanted to help abused or neglected or troubled children. I’ve always been a good listening, and I love trying to help people overcome obstacles and who better to start with than children. But I put that dream on the back burner to raise my children and by the time they were all in school, I was too chicken t go back to school myself. LOL

I think things worked out just fine for me. J

Would you give up being an author for that profession or have you combined the best of both worlds?

Oh no, I wouldn’t give up what I have now for anything. My heart and soul belongs to writing. It’s who I am, what I am. If I couldn’t write I really do believe I would lose my mind. I have to create, and long before I ever considered becoming published I wrote simply for me. If I’d never been published I know I would still be writing just for myself. What a joy it is for me now, though, to know I bring happiness to those that read my work!

How do you see yourself in ten years?

A little greyer in the hair, more wrinkles and probably wearing glasses because I’ve noticed my eyesight is fading. LOL

Seriously, I see myself sitting right where I am, my fingers clicking away on the keyboard creating yet another story of love, suspense or fantasy and loving every minute of it.

Any final words for writers who dream of being published one day?

Never, ever, give up on your dreams! Even if the rejections come at you in buckets, keep plugging on. Just because one editor didn’t like your book, doesn’t mean the next one will feel the same. And never stop learning your craft. Research publishers; find out what they look for in a book. Join writing groups and have other writers look at your work and give you input. That is very important! I don’t know what I ever did without my Critique partner. She is a treasure!

But most of all, love what you do!

Interview with Paranormal/Urban Fantasy Author Linda K. Silva

Linda Kay Silva is the author of the lesbian cop series starring Delta Stevens. Her latest novel is due out in January of 2008 and is the beginning of a new series starring Jessie Ferguson, a young woman whose soul travels back in time.

Linda Kay was raised in the Bay Area in California, but moved to Oregon twelve years ago for a better quality of living and more writing time. Once there, she built herself the kind of library writers dream of, and works to create what she calls an enviable life.

  When Linda Kay is not writing, she teaches at a community college and for several online universities. She loves her partner, her dog, Lucy, and piddling around in her backyard where she has built several ponds for her water turtles Cleopatra and Mary Queen of Scots. Linda Kay used to be a cop, a sportwriter, a coach, a spa owner, and a troublemaker…oops…the last one she still is!

Linda Kay loves talking to anyone who will listen about writing, book, education, or nature. She loves email and has just started her own blog at http://lindakaysilva.livejournal.com/. She’d love to hear from you!

Welcome to Beyond the Books, Linda Kay.  Can you tell us whether you are published for the first time or multi-published?  Can you give us the title(s) of your book(s)?

 Across Time will be my eighth published novel, and the first time I have been published by Spinsters/Bella Books. My first six were published by small presses that folded when the independent bookstores started going under. The six novels were about Delta Stevens, a cop in Los Angeles. The titles of those are:Taken By Storm, Storm Shelter, Weathering the Storm, Storm Front, Tropical Storm, and Storm Rising.

  

And then I published the one closest to my heart, Tory’s Tuesday, about a love between two women that kept them alive when they were in Auschwitz. I think I am most proud of that one because it is in the Holocaust Museum in DC and the Wiesenthal Center in LA. When I was a kid, my mother read anything with a swastika on it. For the longest time, I wondered if she was a Nazi (because, quite frankly, she has those tendencies and I always felt like I ought to salute her when she walked by), but then I realized she just loved WWII history. When I became a history teacher, I lived in the Bay Area, where there were a lot of survivors, so over the years, I’ve had dozens come speak to my classes. Those were the best days of my teaching career…living history. I never knew how much their stories affected me until one day, I was on a ferry in Greece and I heard in my head, “I’d rather die with her than live without her.” One line. One character. When I got to Santorini, the book wrote itself in two weeks.

  

What was the name of your very first book regardless of whether it was published or not and, if not published, why?

  

My first novel was Taken By Storm. I had written a piece I don’t recall the title of, and someone asked me why I didn’t write police stories (since I had been a cop for a brief moment). I didn’t want to write a cop story, but Delta would NOT get out of my head after that, so I wrote my first novel about her…never intending it to be a series, but she refused to leave me alone. I learned so much from that series that I have been able to apply to this new one. Since I hadn’t actually planned to write a series, I hadn’t been able to plant any seeds for future cultivation. Believe me, there are so many seeds in Across Time, this series could go on for a very long time.

  

For your first published book, how many rejections did you go through before you either found a mainstream publisher, self-published it, or paid a vanity press to publish it?

  

I got very lucky. I was rejected probably twenty-five times before Paradigm Press picked me up. They were looking for a series and I was already working on the second of the series. I will never forget that moment when I answered the phone. I was living in a converted dairy farm and my bedroom was in what had been the walk-in freezer. It was the only flat floor in the house because all the others had drains. I remember hearing her introduce herself and saying she wanted to publish Taken By Storm. I didn’t hear much after that except for my heart pounding in my ears.

  

How did the rejections make you feel and what did you do to overcome the blows?

  

Rejections meant (and still means) that I’m OUT THERE. Someone is opening my work and reading it. You can’t get published if you don’t play the game. As an athlete, I know that the more you shoot, the better your chances are for sinking a shot. I was a basketball player in high school and I took a lot of shots. I knew one thing early on in life: it’s not the shots you miss that win ballgames. It’s the ones you hit. I took that attitude to submitting as well. I loved getting envelopes. My manuscript has been places I never had. It got to sit on desks, under someone’s coffee mug. It got to curl up at night next to an editor or publisher. It was IN THE GAME! That’s how I handle it. Submitting is no different to me than a ballgame. We will always lose more than we win. Look at every champion. But you can’t win if you don’t play. That’s why I have no patience for those people (and there are many )who talk about writing or what they want to write, but then don’t have the guts to get in the game. Get in the game or get on the sidelines. Those are your only two choices.

  

When your first book was published, who published it and why did you choose them?

  

Paradigm Publishing chose me. I went with them because we had the same vision and I had dreams of being one of the authors who helped get them off the small press list. I still have that dream. I am going to work really hard to help make Spinsters/Bella money. Now that my writer’s ego has been assuaged, (and I am older and wiser), I know that the bottom line is about money. To write is NOT enough. You must get in there and do all you can, especially if you’re not one of the big guys. You have to self-promote like mad. I want to be the big money winner at Spinsters for a lot of reasons, but mostly to thank them for believing in me and picking up Across Time. When people have the same vision as you, working together for the better good becomes a fun challenge.

  

How did it make you feel to become published for the first time and how did you celebrate?

  I felt like a crazy person. I couldn’t stop smiling. I was ecstatic. My goal was to be published before I turned 30 and that happened when I was 30, so it was an incredible feeling to reach that goal (do I hear a three pointer swishing at the buzzer?) Unfortunately for me, I shared the news with my fundamentalist Christian mother first and her exact words were, “When are you going to write children’s books?” You see, she could hardly share my lesbian police novels with the women at church. I suppose it just didn’t do that her daughter wrote about something that was going to make her burn in hell. I learned another valuable lesson after that: I never shared anything with her first. She’s the reason I go by my full name. When she realized I was going to be published, she said, “Why don’t you get a pen name?” So, true to the rebel in me, I went the opposite direction J I know…how mature, right? She’s also never read any of my books (that I know of), and we’ve never talked about it since.  

What was the first thing you did as for as promotion when you were published for the first time?

  

Hmm… I went to the ABA with my publishers and signed. That was the MOST exciting thing I have ever done (and I’ve done a lot). First of all, I got to sign in between two of my favorite authors, Jonathon Kellerman and Clive Cussler. Then I got to sit in the green room with Amy Tan and Dean Koontz and help James Earl Jones sign in. I have to say, his voice in person makes your knees weaken. Wow. One of the best moments was when I was signing and Shirley Jones (mom of the Partridge Family) came up for me to sign a book (her then-husband was there to promote a coffee table book). When I looked up and saw it was her, I froze. “Mrs. Partridge? You read my books?” To which she laughed and said, “I’ve read them all.” Heart be still. What a thrill. The ABA is a must for everyone, if for anything, all the free books you walk away with!

  

If you had to do it over again, would you have chosen another route to be published?

  

Nope. Everything has lead to everything else and I wouldn’t be who I am today, and I like who I am and where I am in this life. Of course I’d like to support myself with my writing, but what most people don’t know is only 5% make that kind of money. That 5% supports the rest of the writers trying to make it. I’d love that to happen, but when I look at my life, I know that I have created the life I want. As I write this, I am sitting on a veranda in Mexico, watching the waves crash against the rocks and spew mist into the air. I am one of the happiest, most content people I know, and I wouldn’t trade that for anything.

  

Have you been published since then and how have you grown as an author?

  

I have, seven more times, and I have grown so much, I am almost embarrassed by the first few books. The writing back then suffers from a lack of good editing and melodrama. You can see the comic book lover in me at times, and it’s not great. The characters are wonderful, but I am so much better now. My writing is richer, more textured, but still has so much room to grow. There’s so much I don’t know, so many ways that I can polish my characters. I am constantly learning, constantly reading in an effort to absorb, through osmosis, some of the best writers in the world. I may have published, but I have a really long way to go yet.

  

Looking back since the early days when you were trying to get published, what do you think you could have done differently to speed things up?  What kind of mistakes could you have avoided?

  

I would have learned how to write better query letters sooner. I would have studied the market better. I would have been more selective about where I sent my work. I would learn more about the BUSINESS of writing and what is happening behind the scenes. I would have read less How-To books and more about the ins and outs of the business and what to expect. Studying the Writers Market is a must. Looking at bookshelves in bookstores, reading publishing news, acting like a professional all works in our advantage. If you treat it like a hobby, that’s all it will ever be.

  

What has been the biggest accomplishment you have achieved since becoming published?

  

Tory’s got a small blurb in Ms. Magazine, and I nearly crapped my pants. I was a young feminist in the 70’s, so Ms. was like my Bible. The second was when I took my fifth grade class to the Holocaust Museum in DC and they saw my book there. It wasn’t until that moment that they realized I had done something really cool.

  

If you could have chosen another profession, what would that profession be?

  

A comic book writer/colorist. I colored up until I was about 35 (and still do when no one is looking). I can’t draw for beans, but I love to color. It’s one of the most relaxing things I do. My mind, for some reason, checks out when I’m coloring, and that is a rare thing for me. Like most writers, my mind is in fifth gear even when I sleep. I still love comic books. I grew up on X-Men, Hulk, Spiderman, etc. It’s funny when the twenty-year old boys in my classes start talking about Spiderman or Silver Surfer and I know more about it than they do. They don’t know whether to run, poo, or go blind. I love it.

  

Would you give up being an author for that profession or have you combined the best of both worlds?

  

I would, yes. I LOVE super heroes, and I would love to be able to write stories for them. When the series Heroes came on, I was thrilled. Finally! And look how popular it has become. We love stories about people who have to cope with being different!  My main character, Delta, is nicknamed Storm after Ororo Munroe of the X-Men. I’m a big kid at heart and really fought growing up. Don’t ask me about my GI Joes. You don’t want to know.

  

How do you see yourself in ten years?

  

Old. Lol. Growing as a writer. Writing more than teaching. Travelling all over the world and doing unexpected things people my age aren’t supposed to be doing. Making a difference, somehow, some way.

  

Any final words for writers who dream of being published one day?

  

Yes. Go back to question #1. If you want to write, stop talking about it (no one REALLY wants to hear about it any way). Stop thinking about it. Stop daydreaming. Write. Create the time (Notice I didn’t say find. Finding something is a fluke. Creation takes an act of intent). And then rewrite. And then rewrite some more. And then read. Read good books. Emulate authors you love. Carry a notebook with you and jot down great lines. Then read about queries. Make your query better than every page you ever wrote, and when someone asks to see the rest, make sure you’ve polished it to near perfection before sending it. Act like a professional, not a desperate newbie. Learn the craft, then learn the business. I was in the airport the other day and read a great daily inspiration: One good wish changes nothing. One good decision changes everything.

  

Decide to become a published author.

  

Then pick up you pen and get going! 

Interview with Paranormal Author Deborah Woehr

Deborah Woehr is a writer, designer, and problogger who lives in San Jose, California with her husband and two children. She earned her A.S. in Computer Graphics in 1993 and began writing in 1997, publishing one short story and several articles. Currently, she is a freelance writer for Syntagma Media. In 2006, she edited and published the 2006 Writer’s Blog Anthology, a collection of essays and poems written by bloggers. Her novel, Prosperity, will be available on Amazon in February. You can visit her website at www.deborahwoehr.com.  

Welcome to Beyond the Books, Deborah. Can you tell us whether you are published for the first time or multi-published? Can you give us the title(s) of your book(s)?

This is my third published book. I published the 2006 Writer’s Blog Anthology, which is a collection of blogged essays and poems by the writers I met that year. Earlier this year, I self-published a “blook” (a book written on a blog) entitled God’s Last Twilight.

What was the name of your very first book regardless of whether it was published or not and, if not published, why?

Black Roses. This was my very first attempt at writing a novel. It was about a serial killer who stalked a successful real estate agent/mom. The main reasons I didn’t query publishers for this book was because it was poorly written, and I felt that there were/are too many serial killer novels in the bookstores already.

For your first published book, how many rejections did you go through before you either found a mainstream publisher, self-published it, or paid a vanity press to publish it?

I didn’t really give traditional publishing much of a chance because I had heard too many horror stories from writers who managed to make it past the “iron gate.” However, I wrote queries to two New York literary agencies just so I could gain the experience of writing query letters. The first one-line rejection slip came within a few months, while the second came a year and a half later.

I decided to research the POD industry as an alternative. This was back in 1999. I wasn’t impressed with what I saw on these sites, and the books I ordered were poorly designed and unedited. I kept on working on my novel while keeping one eye on the POD industry and researching the option of self-publishing.

How did the rejections make you feel and what did you do to overcome the blows?

When one published writer told me that getting my novel was akin to winning the Lotto, I almost gave up writing. That stung worse than the rejection slips. After I calmed down, I went back to work. Any fantasies I had about becoming the next Stephen King or Dean Koontz vanished.

As the years passed by, I kept reading everything I could find about the POD industry, self-publishing, and traditional publishing. The more I read, the more I decided that the traditional route wasn’t all that it’s cracked up to be. No matter which publishing route you take, you still have to do all the marketing yourself if you hope to sell any copies of your book.

When your first book was published, who published it and why did you choose them?

I signed up for an account with Lulu in 2003 but waited until I was ready to publish my anthology so I can watch this company and read what writers experienced. When I learned of the overwhelming satisfaction, I decided to test their service with the anthology in 2006. I was so pleased with the quality of the book and their ISBN distribution service that I decided to use them to self-publish Prosperity.

How did it make you feel to become published for the first time and how did you celebrate?

I experienced a mixture of excitement and mild anxiety. Seeing my name on the cover of that anthology gave me such a feeling of accomplishment. Knowing I had to market it made me nervous because it was such a diverse collection of genres.

I don’t remember how I celebrated when I successfully published the anthology, except that I sent an email to all of my friends and relatives. I did the same thing when I published Prosperity. After I shot off that email, I treated myself to an evening of mindless TV with my family. I was just so relieved to have this book written and published after an embarrassingly long time.

What was the first thing you did as far as promotion when you were published for the first time?

With the anthology, I listed the ebook version on every free ebook site I could find. The modest sales ultimately came from Amazon purchases.

If you had to do it over again, would you have chosen another route to be published?

No. Lulu has been a fabulous service as well as an economical one. I loved the process of designing my own books from cover to cover. I had total control over the editing, interior layout, and design. This was a perfect opportunity to utilize my art degree, which I began gathering dust when I started a family.

Have you been published since then and how have you grown as an author?

I’ve just recently self-published Prosperity. As far as growth is concerned, I’ve learned that typing “THE END” isn’t the end of a book’s journey. The author must buzz about it well before it’s published (say 1 to 3 years). Thanks to the Internet and its technology, new authors have a much wider playing field than they did when I first started writing. I’ve learned (and am still learning) how to use it to my best advantage.

Looking back since the early days when you were trying to get published, what do you think you could have done differently to speed things up? What kind of mistakes could you have avoided?

That’s a tough question to answer because I still feel very new at this. I’ve made many “beginner” mistakes when designing my books, but I’ve learned from them. I don’t think I’ll ever publish a book at Christmastime again, because I found myself rushed with the publishing process.

What has been the biggest accomplishment you have achieved since becoming published?

I became a freelance writer shortly after I published the anthology, writing for a major blog network. Another accomplishment involved my first production of a one-piece book cover. Oh, and I designed a simple website for my husband’s family business.

If you could have chosen another profession, what would that profession be?

A graphic designer. My favorite subject in school was art. When I began attending night school to earn my degree, I pictured myself landing a job with an ad agency or a publishing house. My life took several turns, and I became a writer. But I never lost my passion for art.

Would you give up being an author for that profession or have you combined the best of both worlds?

I plan on combining these two worlds by the end of 2008, although I won’t limit myself to book design.

How do you see yourself in ten years?

I see myself publishing another book or two, while freelancing as a writer and designer on a full-time basis.

Any final words for writers who dream of being published one day?

Check out all the publishing options that are available and figure out which one works for you. Before you publish that book, start networking with as many people as you can and focus on building friendships instead of selling. That’s very important! Once you earn their trust, you won’t need to ask them to buy your book.
