Paranormal Romance Fans for Life would like to extend a warm welcome to Michael Cantwell, author of Leadership and Redemption series.
Michael, first please tell us where you are from and where/who did your love for writing come from?
I have lived in Florida since I graduated college in 1980.
Before that I went to school in Philly and grew up in Ewing Township just
outside Trenton, New Jersey. I have to admit my love for writing didn’t come
until a few years ago when someone bet me I couldn’t write a bestselling novel.
But my desire to get better grows with each story.
Can you say that your journey to publication was difficult? If so, what
were the hardest moments to get through?
My journey was a learning
experience. I had no idea when I finished writing my first novel what I didn’t
know. I’m sure there is still so much I don’t know but I do know far more about
publishing than I did a few years ago. I think the hardest part was trying to
stay patient long enough to learn all my options when it comes to being
published. Learning about publishing and marketing has been a large learning
curve but one I am happy I took.
How do you overcome i-suck-it is, that little voice in your head that
tells you your writing isn’t good enough?
I hear that voice every day.
There is no question that I am my biggest critic. I let my readers tell me
otherwise. Though I have no doubt I have improved and hope to continue to do so
with each new title.
What is your dream vacation?
I have three. I would love to
return to Alaska. I want to go to Yellowstone and also see much of Europe.
Describe your writing
style in five words.
Sarcastic, honest, humorous, musical, twists
What movies are you currently excited to see?
Any movie that when it ends, I was
surprised and I laughed a few times.
What are you currently reading?
Life by Keith Richards and A Feast
for Crows by George RR Martin
If you weren’t a writer, what other careers would you pursue?
I am a commercial real estate
agent but I would love to be a photographer at the World Series or Super Bowl.
If you could create a holiday of your own, what would it be called?
Peace on Earth Day
For people who haven’t read your novel, how would you summarize the
plot?
If you read between the lines the
series is really to make the reader question what they consider good and evil.
How far would you go before losing your soul? In the first book in particular
(Soul Intentions) all the characters who lose a soul have good and bad
qualities. I tried to leave it up to the reader to decide how they feel about
each character.
What are two of your pet-peeves?
Lying and being late for an
appointment
To you, what makes a good story?
Characters that my readers would
like to meet in person. I also like stories that take me down one path only to
find it wasn’t where I thought I was at all.
What usually turns you off about a story?
If it’s too predictable.
If you could collaborate with any author, who would you choose, and
why?
Elmore Leonard because he could
teach me how to be better disciplined and he created some incredible
characters.
What is on your night stand?
A book and some coins
What is your favorite book?
Wooden by John Wooden
Thank you so much for joining us today, Michael. We really enjoyed the insights. Good luck with the Leadership and Redemption series.
