She credits her eighth grade teacher Mr. January with her love of writing. She said that she chose to be an Indie author because of the control it grants her. She has quite a lot of experience writing, over 35 years worth! We look forward to reading all of the stories that she has to tell!

Patricia Harris

Hi everyone and welcome to our Author Spotlight! Today we have Patti Harris, who goes by Patricia Harris for her poetry and children’s books. She has been writing for 35 years thanks to her grandmother who started her love of storytelling and poetry.

She tells us that she chose to be an Indie Author because it allows her creative control and she has quite a few books published. You can find her work on Amazon and her blog: Pattimouse

When she isn’t giving us amazing thought-provoking poems or amusing children’s adventures, she makes resin and jewelry, she reads, she crotchets, and does beautiful digital art and paintings.

She lives in West Virginia, USA with her long term boyfriend and daughter and also has two sons, and two adorable grandsons.

We asked her if she deals with writer’s block and how she deals with it. She told us she does get blocked and she searches for prompts to get her juices flowing or she brainstorms with her friends.

I hope you all enjoyed learning about our amazing Patti Harris and make sure to get over to her blog and show her some love or even better, head to Amazon and buy her books!

Mike Guzman

Welcome to today’s Author Spotlight, Mike Guzman! He has been writing fantasy and sci-fi off and on since high school and writes mostly short stories and is working on his first novel.

He told us that his love for fantasy/sci-fi and his friends that are Indie Authors is what has inspired him to write.

When he is not writing and working, he loves to play video games, tabletop games, reads anime/manga and comics, loves to watch fantasy and sci-fi movies, and of course loves to read.

When asked about if he gets writer’s block and how he deals with it, he responded with “Who doesnt? Sometimes I have to wait it out until something just hits me.”

He does not have a website yet and he lives in NC with his wife and their kitty Boots.

When asked why he was an Indie author, he told us that he tried the traditional route twice before. The first time the publisher didn’t pay him, and the second failed to promote the books as promised. So he said that he was going indie because the writing was the most important part.

DW Storer is an amazing author. Go show him some love!

 

Desiree Jensen

Welcome to today’s Author Spotlight! Today we have Desiree Jensen, or Des as her friends and colleagues call her. She has been writing urban fantasy, pulp horror & slam poetry under the name of D. Gabrielle Jensen for 15 years but has been writing in general for 35 years. She started writing ‘because she just did. It was in her blood’.

When asked why she became an indie author, she explained that it is because she wants “the freedom to be the final decision on my work and to be able to work according to my own timelines, not someone else’s.”

She has a website for anyone that is interested in checking her work out (and you really should!): D. Gabrielle Jensen .

She resides in Colorado, USA where she lives with two cats – a teen mom and her kid, who are now 11 and 10 years old and enjoys many hobbies when she is not busy writing: music, concerts, crochet, jewelry making, graphic design/merchandise design.

We asked her if she gets writer’s block. She answered, “I do. It depends on how bad it is. If I can make words, I try to just push through it. If I can’t, if I find myself staring at a blank page for too long, I try something else. Something creative, go for a walk, work in the garden to reconnect my soul to the Earth.”

We were so happy that Ms. Jensen filled out our questionnaire! It’s so nice to find out about other Indie Authors. We hope you all enjoyed reading about her and that you go check out her website and show her some love.

Spotlight on Leah Polumbo

​ 

Time to meet Leah Polumbo aka Finn O’Malley who lives in Norther Wasatch Front in Utah. She writes Urban Fantasy short stories and novels. She started weaving fantasies as a sixth grader when she told the story about a dog who drank the entire Atlantic Ocean and has continued with more short stories and her series, Keeper of Element. 
She has always had the urge to write, expressing her thoughts, ideas, and stories through the written word in fictional stories and inspirational moments when she felt something needed to be shared. 

Thanks to a group on Facebook and a writing mentor/motivational speaker, she was inspired to kick her hobby up a notch and make it a career. 

She decided to become an Indie Author, because like most, she feels it is important to own our stories and choose our own paths.She lives with her husband, two children, and they enjoy their lives under the rule of two notble and righteous cats.

When asked about dealing with writer’s block, she usually steps away from the project and goes to find fun and inspiration in other things. These include music, enjoying adventures that aren’t between the covers of books, or she will switch to another project to mix it up a bit. 

Her advice: The most important thing is to KEEP writing. And we agree wholeheartedly with her.   
We hope you enjoyed our first Author Spotlight! Come back on Wednesday for our next author, Deedra Nichole Mosley!
