Interview With Author Pat McQueenTell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Writing has been my joy and solace throughout my life. The love of writing began as a child when I wrote and illustrated comics for my friends to read.

Hi, I'm Duncan Whitehead https://duncanwhitehead.net/. I have written ten books, my most successful being The Gordonston Ladies Dog Walking Club. I was found abandoned outside a Franciscan monastery in 1967 and initially taken in by a kind monk named Pablo. When I was three months old, I was adopted by the US Ambassador to the UK. Unfortunately, tragedy struck when my adoptive dad tried to murder me as he believed I was the anti-Christ. You may have read about it. By the time I was twelve, I was again abandoned and raised by wolves, who taught me all I needed to know about packs and wolf whistles. Despite these setbacks, I was eventually granted a place at NASA, where I became the first person to experience time travel. I'm writing this in 2056, where Baron Trump controls the southern US states and Taylor Swift controls the rest of the world. My hobbies include tap dancing, but I often fall into the basin. My ideal woman would be beautiful, agree, do everything I ask, and not hound me into always putting the toilet seat down. As this post blatantly shows, I'm not a very good writer, but I love all animals, especially pork, beef, and chicken nuggets. I have a cat named Mike who has no tail but does possess a great sense of humor. Yesterday he pooped in my slippers, and how we laughed about it. I love writing parodies and comedy, but, again, as you can tell by this post, my comedic skills are lacking. I once appeared in a commercial for hair lice shampoo, mainly because I was infested with them. Sometimes, when no one was looking, I danced instead of walking, which saw me fired from my job as a pallbearer. I try to write original jokes and (this is true) have written for the comedy news site 'The Onion.' In summary, don't forget that I'm also just a writer standing in front of readers and authors, asking them to love him. Is that too much to ask?

Interview With Author David R. YaleTell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’ve written two humor books, “Pun Enchanted Evenings” and “HomesPun Humor,” as well as more than four novels. Why do I say “more than four”? Well, I have a very long history of starting novels and not finishing them! Or finishing them and not being happy with them.
But in 2017, when I finished “Becoming JiJi,” the first novel in my Shingle Creek Sagas series, I knew I had finally gotten it right. People said the characters were vivid, real, and seemed like old friends.
