C&F Mag Exclusive Interview
I had an exclusive interview with Bia of C&F Mag. On their website you can find posts about a range of topics, including the latest trends and more. Here’s an excerpt from the interview:
What challenges did you encounter while writing Money Matters?
Jenny inclines to a liberal stance, as do I. Her sister is right wing but also prejudiced. I had to fight to remove my own opinions from the arguments the two sisters repeatedly get into and even show Jenny’s sister winning some of them.

I sent out my seventh newsletter, sharing important updates with my subscribers.
I finished reading Salman Rushdie’s Quichotte last month and my review of it will be posted on the Los Angeles Review of Books website soon. I have another exciting news that I shared with you in another post (hint: it’s a free e-book).
I am ever grateful for Nanda, my talented book publicist, who has arranged for me to give eleven interviews so far, some audio and others written. I continuously update my Media page whenever a new one is available.

A Rain of Thought: Author Spotlight
I had a chat with Rebecca Rodriguez on her blog’s Authors Spotlight series. You can find the latest news in just about everything, including what Rebecca calls her “random rants and ramblings” in A Rain of Thought. Here’s a sample from the interview:
What inspired you to become a writer?
After three years in the Air Force and five years in industry, I joined the University of London as a tutor/organizer. Teaching adult students literature made me want to write it. The result was seven non-fiction books, the second of which was an award winning biography of Christopher Isherwood. Money Matters, my eighth book, is my first work of fiction. It is a Finalist in the 2019 American Fiction Awards.

Writers Interviews (Book Interviews)
I was featured on Writers Interviews, a website that provides readers an inside look at a book’s content, inspiration, and creation, straight from the author. Here’s a sneak peek:
The novel is set in Los Angeles during the 2010 mid-term election. For people not familiar with what Los Angeles was like then, could you set the scene for us?
2010 was perhaps the year that California established itself as a radical ideological alternative to the majority of the remainder of the country. The contrast was startling: the country swung dramatically Republican (Republicans won control of the House of Representatives and a majority of governorships), while California defied national trends by returning a Democrat to the Senate, voting for a Democrat for governor and expanding the Democrats’ majority in the state legislature. We Californians began to feel cut off from the mainstream while remaining proud of our stance. So this is a Los Angeles fiction, more specifically a Venice California novel. Or you could describe it as an election mystery novel.
