Author in the Spotlight - Angie Stubbs


Check out our latest Author in the Spotlight and her amazing book on traveling!






TW: What are your hopes for this project?
Author Angie Stubbs
AS: I hope to inspire, educate and entertain! I hope families and educators see the value in traveling with kids and
using my book as a guide for how to do that if they can’t physically travel somewhere. I hope the kids find the stories funny.

TW: What is your writing process?
AS: I write when the inspiration and time to write hit me. I don’t write every day. I use educational materials as I write and Rhyme Zone is my go-to website when I’m stuck for a word.

TW: How difficult was it to write your story?
AS: It wasn't at all because it is our real
life story. I chose the pictures we use and I do an outline of the places we’ve
been.

TW: Do have plans of writing more books?
AS: Absolutely. I have two written and a few others are in the works.

TW: What is your favorite genre of books and do you plan on venturing in those
areas?
AS: I love sci-fi thrillers, like those by the late Octavia E. Butler. Maybe someday I’ll do a thriller.

TW: What do you want readers to know about you?
AS: I want readers to know that I am writing with an authentic voice and I just want to bring the world to children.

TW: Do you have a favorite author or book?
AS: No, I love too many books and authors to have a favorite.

TW: What does literary success look like to you?
AS: Success would be seeing kids read my books over and over. My book would be that one book that a child wants to read every night! Success would be seeing my book integrated into school curriculums and more families traveling.

TW: What is the most difficult part of your artistic process?
AS: Choosing the pictures to use for the illustrations. Since the illustrations are animated versions of the pictures we take when we travel, it can be hard to pick just 16.

TW: How has this book changed your life?
AS: It has made me want to do even more to share the world with people.

 TW: Do you have any future events or updates we should know about?
AS: Yes. I will be a featured author at the Delta Authors on Tour in Houston, Texas on May 4 at 3pm. I am also doing an area-wide training of librarians in June on the topic, “Travel books for kids: Why use them in the classroom.” The first event is open to the public, the second is not.

TW: How can we contact you and purchase your book?
AS: You can contact me at

Author in the Spotlight - Grahame Peace

The next author in the spotlight, 6 - Time Author, Grahame Peace. With his latest book, A Journey into Fashion: The Dressing Room. TW : What is your writing process? GP : I am disciplined in terms of how I write; I write most days for several hours. I also, do a lot of research for my books in terms of facts and history; although my books are fiction and fantasy, I want them to be as historically and factually accurate as possible. TW : How difficult was it to write your story? GP : I’m currently working on my seventh book, which is the fifth in my Ghost from the Molly-House series. Each book in the series gets harder to write in terms of coming up with new ideas. That’s why historical research is so important; it often drives the concept for a new story or stories. My stories are set in different time periods, places, and countries. TW : What is your hope for this project? GP : Hopes? That people will like it, enjoy it, spread word of my work, and want to read th

Author's Spotlight - Sharika K. Forde

Our next Author in the Spotlight is Sharika K. Forde, author of The Awakening! T W : W h at  is your writing process?  SKF : I have two different styles of writing. Sometimes a title will come to me and I will write a poem from that. The other is when a couple of sentences will come to my mind then I will jot them down and continue the flow. The second style normally is the easiest one for me to write from. T W :  How difficult was it to write your story? SKF : The Awakening Book of Poems wasn’t difficult for me to write because all of my poems come from emotions or experiences I’ve gone through. The difficult part was publishing it and putting it all out there for the world to see. It took years for me to build up my confidence to share it. T W :  What are your  hopes for this project? SKF : There’s a quote from me on the back of my back, it states “Everyone has a story. Some tell theirs through songs. Others through jokes. Mine is through poetry”. My hopes are tha
