My first book in a Historical Fiction series has been published on Amazon/Kindle Direct. User
I have a new book out, it is on Amazon/Kindle Direct.

The title is Clash of Cultures, The Legend of Henson Wiseman and the Dakota Chiefs. It is a Historical Fiction and the first one in a series. Even though it is historical in nature, it is personal in how it is written. It takes the reader back in time and you meet the historical characters in their element. Set in the 1860s on the Western Frontier it follows one settler's family and on the other side of the story, it follows four native Americans and many of the members of their tribe through the events that shape our midwestern history. My email address is Clashofculturesthelegend@gmail.com

I am marketing my trilogy, The Antunite Chronicles, that was published last year. I am just returning from the Miami Book fair, where two books from the trilogy won prizes from the Readers' Favorite Book Awards. If interested please message me.

I usually get my inspiration/ideas from daily life, honestly. It could come from anything, from a meal I ate, to drama from friends, anything really.

I write poetry, I actually published a book of poetry in mid August intitle Sentiment: A Book of Poetry by Claire Deleon. I also write non fiction and fantasy.

I started writing I'd say maybe two years ago? And I wanted to push my writing further, and do something more with because I thought that maybe I had the potential to go somewhere with writing.

I currently have several books that I'm reading, but right now I'm focusing on The First to Die at the End by Adam Silvera.

My favorite book-all time hardest question that I've ever been asked to answer. One of my favorites would have to be Marina by Carlos Ruiz Zafon. It's dark, it has romance, its cultural, and historical. I love how the author incorporates history as a large part of this book.

I like to be more sentimental when writing, instead of straight-forward. So, when I write, I like to me literal in the sense of feeling.

For my writing process, the easiest part is the idea, because that just comes to me by itself. I like to start by opening a google doc, and just begin writing based on how my idea started. I write until I have several paragraphs, I read, edit, and make comments on certain sentences that could lead into deeper things for later on. This is the reason I write short stories, to see if they have the potential to become books.

I try to write every day, and for an hour or more. If I'm super focused and know what I want to do, sometimes for several hours, it really depends a lot on my mood, what I'm interested in working on that day, and how much time I have to do so.

Honestly, I spend 95% of my writing in bed. My bed is my comfort zone, and like to write there (because i definitely don't have a perfectly good desk to write at 5 ft away.)

I try to make lists on ideas I have whenever I get a new one so that later on, when I'm ready to sit down and right, I can choose something off the list, but a lot of random/interesting ideas I get for stories are at night, and I do NOT have the energy to get up, open computer, and write it all down.

After I complete something, I always want to perfect it. I always want to go over it a million times, over and over, and figure out which words sound best. I will take breaks after completing a project though, especially if it's a longer story.

When I get writers block, I usually turn to family and friends and ask them if they have any prompt ideas. If all else fails, I usually just open a plain document and just start writing, and go from there.

When I first started writing and formatting my work (specifically poetry) I actually hadn't really read any poetry or paid any attention to it, so as I starter writing more and more poetry, for the longest time, my poems were never formatted as your typical poem. Looking back, I wish I had known this, and cannot believe that I never thought to do research to kind of get an idea on how you would typically format poetry.

Hi,
I would be interested if you are still looking for authors. Let me know, and I would be thrilled to send over an email.

I have written and published the first book in a potential series of six books.
It is historical fiction, because it takes the novel point of view of omniscient. The reader is able to see and hear all of what is going on with the characters as if watching on a movie screen. Most of the people were real people and the events recorded, but the conversations are embellished to explain the facts in a novel method.

It is called, Clash of Cultures, The Legend of Henson Wiseman and the Dakota Chiefs. The story is set in the 1860s on the then Western Frontier and follows both sides of the story. The Native American struggle and the westward expansion of European settlers.

It can be found on Amazon/Kindle.

Currently working on Book 3.
But promoting Book 1 as it's my latest publication.
Sherrie Miranda's "Crimes & Impunity in New Orleans" follows the dramatic story of naive, sheltered Shelly going to “The Big Easy” to prepare for El Salvador, but has no idea she will encounter sexism and witness racism as well as illegal activities by government agents.

Author, Sherrie Miranda's husband made the trailer for "Crimes & Impunity in New Orleans." He wrote the music too.

Review: Shelly’s journey in “the city that care forgot.”Sherrie Miranda’s new novel “Crimes and Impunity in New Orleans” puts the reader into a whirlwind of political protests, abusive police, sexist attitudes towards women, and “good old boys” racism in 1980’s New Orleans. Miranda’s second novel follows Shelly, the young northerner, as she quickly finds out that she “isn’t in Kansas anymore” while encountering a slew of picturesque, colorful characters. Reading her book makes you wonder if justice and respect for blacks, immigrants, and women can be reality in America.

I just published my second novel, The Rose and the Thistle: A novel about the discovery of vaccines. It is a fictionalized story based on facts about how vaccines were created. I was a university professor doing research for 40 years and wanted to make science accessible to the average person through story telling.

Hi there...

A a debut author, with his first novel shitting the shelves and Kindle on the 25th of this month, OF COURSE I would like to be interviewed!

How are you doing this, though? Is it an interview on a one-to-one or are you simply wanting that list of questions to be answered?

I have, subconsciously wanted to be a writer for 10 years but only took the plunge in 2020 once I had taken early retirement from my work in the Middle East due to a health condition. 'JASON' is the result. A crime thriller which will keep you on the edge of your seat a the protagonist plays cat-and-mouse with the dogged detective inspector.

I am now well into my follow up work, featuring the same detective inspector but with a totally different storyline (of course!)

Look forward to hearing back from you and answering more questions, either from your list or directly.
