Today’s author spotlight is Paul Lubaczewski. He dabbles in Horror, Horror-Comedy,  Sci-Fi, Fantasy and writes mostly short stories and novels.
When we asked him how long he’s been writing, he had this to say: “Fiction about 4 years now. I was a reviewer before that, and wrote poetry and lyrics before that.” We also asked him why he started and he said because of his daughter Nik’s wedding. He wanted her to have something she could show people.
He is published and he chose to become an indie author because he didn’t know if it was a decision as much as something that just happened. Agents are harder to deal with and get answers from than publishers a lot of the time, so he just started querying indie presses instead.
He resides in Appalachia and has three cats: the Brothers Meow Charlie Sheen and Abaddon and there is also Elsa the Bride of Kittenstein.
We asked what hobbies he has when he isn’t writing: “Caving, music, reading, waterfalling, photography (urbex), it’s endless really.”
We also asked him if he gets writer’s block and his answer was “I keep multiple projects floating at all times, there’s always something I can make progress with.”
Where can you find this amazing author? Well right here at his website: https://lubaczewski.wordpress.com/ So get over there and show him some love!

Today we are looking at the amazing author Tish MacWebber. A lot of what you need to know is in her bio.
” Tish Mac Webber’s writing is her purpose, creativity is her passion, and jewellery designing is her pleasure.
She is the author who is Always Thinking… the jewellery designer who is Always Blinging…and her superpower is always being full of surprises!
#Tishspiration, her latest creation, is defined as the art of surprising yourself. She is inspired by the ocean, especially where the Atlantic Ocean kisses the beaches of Cape Breton Island, where her own story began.
Tish MacWebber, Always Blinging… her jewellery designing hobby is the latest addition to her website. Her speciality is creating one of a kind, custom designs for her clients. She loves to delight her customers with her interpretations of what they order, staying true to her gifts of being full of surprises, and putting her talents to full use.
In October 2018, her first book, From Where I am Sitting… A Collection of Cat Tales was published and is available on Amazon. It will be accompanied by her Limited Cat Tales Jewellery Collection, which can also be found on her website. Tish MacWebber is currently writing her second book, in which she will explore her concept of #Tishspiration. You can find more information about these and other projects at https://tishmacwebber.com/”
Tish credits the inspiration for her first book to a friend who passed away due to cancer. However, she has been writing since school. She writes song lyrics, poetry, and stories. Currently the endearing adventures of an adopted kitten, Jazzy, dominate her blog.
She has been blogging since 2017. She wanted to share her music, and hopefully inspire others with her writing. She is a creative soul, who is fond of beads. She designs cute jewelry and is learning cross stitch.
She chose to be an indie author because it would allow her complete control over her work. She has found that there is a lot to learn about the process. She recommended finding writing support groups/communities either locally to meet your peers in person, or online to find others who can help you to achieve your goal of writing a book, if you are an aspiring indie author.
Her first book “From where I am sitting” is a collection of cat tales told by the cats. I found it to be so very fun to read. I think that you would as well. Tish will have a story in our anthology releasing soon, Under The Mists.
*Edit: Tish pointed out a small error on my part. She has been doing cross stitch for some time all ready. And the Jazzy chronicles are over on the coffee house writers blog . We are so very glad to be working with Tish. Show her love!
Today’s Author Spotlight is the talented Serena Mossgraves.
She is one of our darker authors, specializing in weaving horror and dark fantasy short stories and novels that will have you cowering under your covers at night.
She’s been writing for approximately four years and does so because she has ‘an urge to scare” and wants to “explore the darker side of human nature.” She chose to be an Indie Author because she doesn’t like being told she can’t do something, so she pushes herself to proves others wrong.
When asked if she has hobbies she told us this: “Yes. I enjoy crawling around on the interwebs looking for spiders to pet. I enjoy listening to creepy videos and horror memes. I enjoy chemical experimentation.”
She lives in the deepest reaches of the demonweb pits and when asked about family or pets, she said ‘Does the ghost chained in my attic count?”
As for dealing with any kind of writer’s block, she said “Just beat it with a hammer!”
She is published (look for her books here: Amazon ) and she has a website, which you can find here: Serena
I hope you all enjoyed learning about Miss Mossgraves and that you will check out her stories if dark and spooky is your thing!
Tune in tomorrow for our Creative Spotlight, and come back on Friday to read about our resident cat lady, Tish MacWebber!
Today we bring you our own Cyndi Pilcher. A wonderful writer good at telling tales of fantasy for the young and the young at heart.
She writes cute children’s books, and adventure filled young adult stories. Her blog, Redbird’s Storytime is a fun place where she shares updates and stories about her faeries.
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!
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!
