Scott Berger has been writing since 2006 when he got the writing bug after reading a chapter of a co-worker’s story. The previous 40-something years were spent gathering experiences or imagining them. Scott lives in the Greater Toronto Area with his wife Rita and a 100-pound Rottweiler named Puppy. Scott was kind enough to stop by my blog and answer a few questions about his writing process. Enjoy!  Why do you write?   I write because…… Which writers inspire you?   Sidney Sheldon and Stephen King What is your favorite book and why?   Prisoner of Tehran by Marina Nemat. A true story so implausible that if I wrote it, calling it fiction, no one would believe it. So well written I felt like I was there. What do you think is the easiest thing about writing?    Coming up with new ideas. What is the most difficult? Editing. It's like counting the brush strokes on the Mona Lisa. From books...

J.C. Hannigan lives in Ontario, Canada with her husband, their two sons and two dogs. She writes contemporary new adult romance and suspense. Her novels focus on relationships, mental health, social issues, and other life challenges. She was kind enough to share her thoughts on her writing process. Enjoy :-)  Why do you write? I write because it's in my blood. It's something I've always done, and always enjoyed doing. Story weaving comes naturally to me, and it feels right. Which writers inspire you?   J.K.

Now I'm inspired daily by writers and women balancing their home, their jobs, and their passion for words. What is your favorite book and why?   I have so many books, honestly picking one is like asking me to pick a favorite child LOL. How about I go with my...

Ian Stout is a writer and a traveler. He has  visited over 40 different countries, walked the Great Wall of China, sat in Rome’s Coliseum and stood on the roof of Hitler’s Fuehrer-bunker in Berlin. He's seen the ruins of Machu Picchu, wondered why the Leaning Tower of Pisa doesn't fall over and has looked in wonder at Napoleon's home on Elba. His ideas come from his various experiences and travels.  The characters he creates have traits and manners akin to the hundreds he has met and connected with, be they a waiter in Montmartre or a cab driver in Mexico City.  A full time writer, Ian does not consider writing his hobby  but an act of love, a passion, and a joy.  Ian was kind enough to share his thoughts with me. Enjoy :-)  Why do you write? I write because that’s what I am, a writer. When I left home at age eighteen for a walk-about in Europe I wrote long letters back to my parents and grandparents telling them how well things were and...
