#WriterWednesday with Carol Light

I’d like to welcome Carol Light to the blog for #WriterWednesday!

Hardest thing about being a writer: Figuring out what to do in the middle of a book when I realize my outline isn’t working or wasn’t as complete as I thought it was.

Easiest thing about being a writer: Believe it or not, writing the first scene. I’ll probably revise it fifty times or even replace it, but the words usually flow, and it feels joyful starting a new book.

Things you need for your writing sessions: I need a cup of tea (English Breakfast or Darjeeling) and a clear mind. That’s why mornings are my best writing time.

Things that hamper your writing: Low energy, as when I try to write some late afternoons. Also, frequent interruptions or loud noises nearby.

Words that describe you: Kind, honest, creative, positive, funny.

Words that describe you, but you wish they didn’t: Stubborn, quiet (although I’m not as quiet as I used to be).

Last best thing you ate: A wonderful flan at a restaurant where my niece took me for my birthday.

Last thing you regret eating: Sour grapes (yes, really!). Why did I keep eating them??

Favorite music or song: I love Christmas music and anything by the Eagles.

Music that drives you crazy: Rap, Hip Hop, elevator music.

The last thing you ordered online: Can’t Go Home, a mystery by Melinda DiLorenzo.

The last thing you regret buying: A pair of pants that I never wear.

Things you’d walk a mile for: A meal with friends, a friend in need, a good cause.

Things that make you want to run screaming from the room: Snakes, obnoxious people (especially loud, drunk ones), fingernails on a chalkboard.

Things you always put in your books: Humor, a female protagonist (although I have male protagonists too), food.

Things you never put in your books: Sadism, violence toward children or animals, explicit sex.

Things to say to an author: “I LOVED your book!” “How are you able to be so creative?” (or brilliant is another good word to use).

Things to say to an author if you want to be fictionally killed off in their next book: “I’ve read better books than yours” (no doubt, but do you have to say it to my face?), or “I don’t ever read mysteries” (so why are you here??).

Favorite places you’ve been: Australia, especially Victoria; Italy.

Places you never want to go to again: Tijuana, Mexico. The poverty there so close to the U.S. border made me very sad.

Favorite books (or genre): Mysteries, of course, although I read widely in fiction and nonfiction.

Books you wouldn’t buy: I’m not into fantasy, horror, or true crime.

My favorite book as a child: I loved the Laura Ingalls Wilder books. Some of her childhood experiences were similar to my grandmother’s, including living in a sod house.

A book I’ve read more than once: The Success Principles by Jack Canfield and Janet Switzer. It’s the book I pick up when I need a positive boost and inspiration to go after my goals.

About Carol:

Carol Light is an avid reader and writer of mysteries. Author of the Cluttered Crime mysteries, she loves creating amateur sleuths and complicating their normal lives with a crime that they must use their talents and wits to solve. She’s traveled worldwide and lived in Australia for eight years, teaching high school English and learning to speak “Strine.” Florida is now her home.

About Sebastian:

Sebastien de Castell had just finished a degree in Archaeology when he started work on his first dig. Four hours later he realized how much he actually hated archaeology and left to pursue a very focused career as a musician, ombudsman, interaction designer, fight choreographer, teacher, project manager, actor, and product strategist. His only defence against the charge of unbridled dilettantism is that he genuinely likes doing these things and that, in one way or another, each of these fields plays a role in his writing. He sternly resists the accusation of being a Renaissance Man in the hopes that more people will label him that way.

Sebastien's acclaimed swashbuckling fantasy series, The Greatcoats. was shortlisted for both the 2014 Goodreads Choice Award for Best Fantasy. the Gemmell Morningstar Award for Best Debut, the Prix Imaginales for Best Foreign Work, and the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer. His YA fantasy series, Spellslinger, was nominated for the Carnegie Medal and is published in more than a dozen languages.

Sebastien lives in Vancouver, Canada with his lovely wife and two belligerent cats.

The funniest thing to happen to you: When I was fourteen, this woman approached me at the bus stop and asked if I ever lived in Grand Prairie. I told her no. She was relieved because, for a moment, she thought that I (a fourteen-year-old boy) was her ex-husband who left town.

The most embarrassing thing to happen to you: I laughed so hard a booger shot out my nose.

 About Brad:

Brad C. Anderson is a science fiction author who loves exploring flawed characters' journeys through nasty situations. He lives with his wife and puppy in Vancouver, Canada, where he teaches undergraduate business at a local university and researches organizational wisdom in blithe defiance of the fact that most people do not think you can put those two words in the same sentence without irony. Previously, he worked in the biotech sector, where he made drugs for a living (legally!).

His stories have appeared in a variety of publications. He has published two science fiction novels, Ashme’s Song in 2025 and Duatero in 2022 as well as several non-fiction books. His short story, Naïve Gods, was longlisted for a 2017 Sunburst Award for Excellence in Canadian Literature of the Fantastic. It was published in the anthology Lazarus Risen, which itself was nominated for an Aurora Award.

#WriterWednesday with Melanie Smith

I’d like to welcome Melanie Smith to the blog for #WriterWednesday!

Hardest thing about being a writer:

Juggling all the other things that get in the way of writing. As an independent author, I am responsible for managing my brand, promoting my work, updating my website, publishing my next story and networking with other authors. Life often gets in the way of creativity. I am routinely trying to balance my private life and necessary tasks with my desire to just sit down and write.

Easiest thing about being a writer:

Writing. I know some authors complain about writer’s block. This has never been an issue for me. Maybe because I am constantly juggling multiple books at the same time. If I get stuck, or the plot isn’t moving forward, I simply refocus my attention on another story.

Words that describe you:

I asked my husband, and this is what he said — Competent, knowledgeable, family oriented, frugal, financially responsible, natural, adventurous.

Words that describe you, but you wish they didn’t:

Accommodating – I sometimes let those close to me take advantage. I am also stubborn. Sometimes this is a good thing, but not everyone sees it that way.

Favorite foods:

Mexican food of any kind.

Things that make you want to gag:

Hotdogs

Something you’re really good at:

Computer programs, graphic design and promotional art, grammar

Something you’re really bad at:

Remembering names, singing

Favorite music or song:

I love all kinds of music, but my favorite is anything from the 80s

Music that drives you crazy:

Rap music

Favorite smell:

Honeysuckle

Something that makes you hold your nose:

The smell of death

Things you always put in your books:

Strong characters with tight family bonds.

Things you never put in your books:

Politics – people read my stories for entertainment. They don’t need to know what I think or how I feel.

Favorite places you’ve been:

I really enjoy visiting Yellowstone National Park. I also had an amazing trip to Italy.

Places you never want to go to again:

East LA

Favorite things to do:

Ride my Harley and explore the backcountry on my ATV

Things you’d run through a fire or eat bugs to get out of doing:

Public speaking

Best thing you’ve ever done:

Conquer my fears and publish my first book

Biggest mistake:

For many years, I treated my writing as a hobby instead of a talent

Most daring thing you’ve ever done:

I have been skydiving, rappelled out of a ski resort tram, cliff dived at Lake Powell, and learned to ride a motorcycle on challenging canyon roads

Something you chickened out from doing:

Eating sushi or oysters

About Melanie:

Long before she delved into the world of fantasy and suspense, Melanie P. Smith served nearly three decades in the Special Operations Division at her local sheriff’s office supporting SWAT, Search & Rescue, K9, the Motor Unit, Investigations, and the Child Abduction Response Team. She now uses that training and knowledge to create stories that are action-packed, gripping, and realistic. In addition to writing, she is also the Editor-In-Chief for Connections eMagazine — a free quarterly publication focused on bringing authors and readers together.

You can find more about Melanie and her books on her website and social media platforms.

#WriterWednesday with Karin Melberg Schwier

I’d like to welcome author Karin Melberg Schwier to the blog for #WriterWednesday!

Favorite foods: When I had a milestone birthday, my son and his wife in California sent me a “meat package” for my birthday. Sourced locally, it was filled with meat of all sorts. I am definitely a carnivore.

Things that make you want to gag: Mom and Dad, ever since my brother and I were little, used to make an abomination called “Milk Toast” when they were sick. Poached egg, toast, and hot milk in a bowl with a big dollop of butter greasing its way across the surface. Gag. My brother and I both agree on this; do not eat, no matter how sick you are.

Something you’re really good at: I’m a pretty darn good cartoonist and illustrator. I don’t do it often enough and you do get rusty if you don’t work those muscles, but I love it.

Something you’re really bad at: Much to my older brother’s chagrin, I cannot whistle properly, and I really am a bad bike rider. Not motorcycle bike, well, that, too, but just plain old bicycle.

Favorite music or song: John Mayer, Great Big Sea, The Coors, Beatles, John Fogelberg, Joni Mitchell, Little River Band, jeez, I can’t think of them all! I can’t leave out Rhye, the band my son Ben plays with (keys).

Music that drives you crazy: Rap. My son insists there’s something to appreciate in all music. But. I’m sorry, I just can’t.

Favorite smell: Rosemary.

Something that makes you hold your nose: Cat barf. I get more of the latter than the former.

Last best thing you ate: Leg of lamb. I love lamb. I have spent a lot of time in New Zealand; once when I was 20, I worked on a dairy farm and lived with the family. Daphne prepared huge lamb roasts, and I was in heaven.

Last thing you regret eating: Our friends in Australia just sent my son a bag of chocolate covered goji berries called Koala Poop. I had some. Mistake.

Favorite places you’ve been: New Zealand, Turkey, Italy, Australia, England, Scotland, Catalina Island.

Places you never want to go to again: Las Vegas. Could be because we hiked many miles along the South Rim of the Grand Canyon that day, and I found LV to be hugely irritating.

People you’d like to invite to dinner: Yann Martel and Alice Kuipers, which wouldn’t be a big stretch since they’re neighbors. Other favorite authors like Elizabeth Hay, Guy Vanderhaeghe, Marina Endicott. Ernest Hemingway, wouldn’t that be fascinating? Stephen King, absolutely. We want to talk to him about a chapter book he offered online, one chapter at a time called The Plant. “Don’t cheat the blind guy selling pencils.” If anyone stole a chapter, he’d shut it down. We always paid, and then he shut it down anyway. We have a bone to pick.

People you’d cancel dinner on: Donald Trump. Anyone who thinks Donald Trump is a brilliant man.

The coolest person you’ve ever met: Hmm, tough one. I guess Madelyn Davis, who was the writer on the I Love Lucy series. She was my step-kids’ step-grandmother, if that makes sense. I could talk to her all day about writing.

The celebrity who didn’t look like he/she did in pictures/video: Rodney Dangerfield, in an elevator at the Beverly Hilton hotel. He looked a bit more ragged than I expected.

The nicest thing a reader said to you: Your novel took me back to my childhood on the farm. I could feel it and smell it. (This was my 92-year-old father-in-law after reading an early draft of my first novel).

The craziest thing a reader said to you: “I won’t read your novel because it’s not science fiction.” (This was my dad.)

Besides writing, what’s the most creative thing you’ve done: I think drawing, illustrating. I’ve always thought I’d like to learn to paint but so far I’ve just stuck with pen and ink drawing.

A project that didn’t quite turn out the way you planned it: I’m still trying to get going on this. I thought I’d be farther along. My dad is 97 and has dementia; I started a short non-fiction story about our experience, and I’ve wanted to get going on a book-length project, but this is hard.

Some real-life story that made it to one of your books: A young girl with Down syndrome was raped by a neighbor farmer and her baby was taken as soon as he was born. The farmer was charged with “carnal knowledge of a woman known to be feeble-minded” — that was a real law in the Criminal Code — and sentenced to the lash and prison time. His wife disowned him, banished him to the barn, and he died of pneumonia. I changed the cause of death. The young girl always wanted to see her baby “just one more time.”

Something in your story that readers think is about you, but it’s not: In my novel, a character on his 13th birthday rides a horse without permission, and it runs wild with him, and he dies in an accident. I’ve had people who assume that was me (not the dying part), but that I lost control of a horse.

About Karin:

A freelance writer, editor and illustrator in Saskatoon, Karin edits and writes for Saskatoon HOME and contributes to Prairies North magazines. She began her career as a reporter for a northern Alberta weekly newspaper while still in high school. Her series of profiles on pioneers of the Peace River country was published as a book, Yesterday’s Children, when she was 19. In Saskatchewan, she spent over 25 years in communications work for an advocacy organization for people with intellectual disabilities, and produced an award-winning newsmagazine.

Karin has written or co-authored six non-fiction books and two illustrated children’s books exploring the lives of people with disabilities, and edited several others. Other creative non-fiction has appeared in anthologies in Canada and the U.S. In 2013, Karin received a YWCA Women of Distinction Award (Arts, Culture and Heritage) for her writing on disability issues.

Small Reckonings, first published by Burton House Books in 2020 and now out in a new edition from Shadowpaw Press, is her debut novel. It received the 2019 John V. Hicks Award for Fiction, a Saskatchewan Book Award in 2021, and was recognized by the national jury for the inaugural Glengarry Book Award in 2021, named to the Jury Short List, Recognition of Literary Excellence. Most recently, the sequel to her debut novel was awarded first prize in the 2022 John V. Hicks Award for Fiction, the first time an author has won this genre category twice in a row.

She lives in Saskatoon with husband Richard, Professor Emeritus, University of Saskatchewan, and son Jim. She has two other children, Benjamin (Julia, grandaughters Pearl and Dahlia), and Erin (Michael, grandson Alexander).
