Self Publish or Die with Emily Walker

Thanks so much to my friend and fellow author, Emily Walker for interviewing with me today. Emily is a multi-talented gal who has several published works. Her re-release of Long Road, Full Speed ahead is scheduled for June 19th.

I appreciate you dropping by, Emily.

‘My pleasure, Catherine. I love sharing with your readers.”

Let’s get right to the questions, shall we?

What inspired you to write your first book?

I was ghost writing for some authors on a freelance website and started to think, I can do this. I wanted credit for what I was writing besides doing a confidentiality agreement to never talk about it.

What authors have influenced your life and writing?

Robert Heinlein. I read him growing up because my Dad gave me all his books. He is an inspiration to me, and he was definitely ahead of his time.

What book are you reading now?

Ghost Hand by Ripley Patton, a great YA thrill ride, and so original. I recommend it!

Are there any new authors that have grasped your interest?

So many I love Alexia Purdy she isn’t really new, I have so many friends in the writing world indie and traditional that I adore and I can’t list them all.

Can you share a little of your current work with us?

I would love to exclusively share some of my current WIP – Solo with you.

Who designed the covers?

I have designed some covers, {the simpler ones like this one}

My friend Khelsey Jackson has done some for me; LD Hutchinson does a lot for me, and Alexia Purdy. I am lucky to have a slew of talented friends.

What was the hardest part of writing your book?

Getting my brain to shut up long enough to write the part I am focused on at that moment. It jumps all over the place.

Are you an Indie Author? If so, what do you like about independent publishing?

I am both self published and published through a publisher. What I like the best about my self published works is that I have creative control, I have control of pricing, and when a book comes out. I like that control.

Do you have any advice for other writers?

Just keep writing, don’t give up and always believe in yourself.

Do you have anything specific that you want to say to your readers?

Thank you. Ever single reader is someone I share a small piece of me with!

Grace finds herself with a toxic friend and a brand new hobby when she discovers meth. She had a promising future before Grayson came into the picture. A wolf in sheep’s clothing, he soon shows his true colors and they are painted with black and blue.

The drugs cause more problems than they fix, but lost in the intoxicating world of numbness she must find herself through abuse, addiction, and abortion. Will she let the drugs take her out of the world, and be forever numb, or will an unlikely love pull her out and make her feel again?
