  • What inspired you to start writing?
    My writing began out of a personal miracle. After being hurt by someone I trusted and diagnosed with HIV, God healed me completely. During that time of fasting and prayer, He gave me words to share—stories and tools to help others move from bitterness to wholeness. Writing became my way to testify of His power and guide others to healing in Christ.
  • Can you tell us a little about your latest book?
    From Bitter to Better is a faith-based guide to help women heal from emotional pain and step into wholeness. Using my R.A.P. method—Reflect, Act, Pray—I walk readers through practical steps, scriptures, and affirmations that turn hurt into hope and bitterness into a better life in Christ.

  • What inspired you to start writing?
    I have always loved reading and dreamed of writing a novel some day. When I was little I would write small stories. My grandmother was a huge influence in my love of reading and writing. She and I would share books back and forth and talk about stories together. I would like to think that she would be proud of the fact that I have written two novels.
  • Can you tell us a little about your latest book?
    My latest book is at the publishing company as I do this interview. There are some details to work out as far as the cover art and things, but I will hopefully have a publication date soon. It is a sequel to my first novel, Mia Amata, with the same characters and a few new ones.

  • What inspired you to start writing?
    I have published sixteen children's books to date, with a new book due out in October 2025. I never intended to write children’s books; that sort of came about by chance. I wanted to teach, which I did. At college, I wrote poetry and had a few published in the college magazines. While teaching, I would often write with the children or for the children, modelling examples of poetry, etc. We might also create a shared write together. ‘A Spooky Tale’ was written with my class following a class trip around our neighbourhood.
  • Can you tell us a little about your latest book?
    My latest book, 'A Ticket to Ride’, is a collection of stories and verse. A ticket to ride is a book to be read and shared with the children. With animals and friends who hop on and off the bus as it travels through lands near and far, on special days and everyday afternoons. Meet everything from cats and elephants to one very celebratory bee, telling jokes and adding their opinions along the way. This collection of light-hearted poems and stories is ideal for a cosy afternoon with children and adults alike.

  • What inspired you to start writing?
    I had a near-death experience with cancer. I wrote a memoir about it, and it won an award for I AM CANCER FREE in the Readers' Favorite International annual awards some years later. That spurred me on to write more books.
  • Can you tell us a little about your latest book?
    Zeeka Chronicles: Revenge of Zeeka is a fast-paced, ethically layered Caribbean sci-fi thriller that explores the dark possibilities of artificial intelligence, human ambition, and vengeance in a futuristic Caribbean. It is loved by fans of high-concept science fiction, biotech suspense, and readers seeking underrepresented voices in speculative fiction.

H2LiftShips Vol 1-5

B
  • Why write a book
    I was bored with the redundant Space Operas requiring magical Faster Than Light rockets, flaming sword battles, weird aliens and transporters. The books revolve around the Lucerne family, merchants on Solar Sail cargo ships.
  • Can you tell us a little about your latest book?
    My latest book is "After BeforeTimes" (Vol 5 in the H2LiftShip series). It fills in the blanks of the other volumes, following Graciela's parents as they make their way around the asteroids, selling, stealing and gambling as any good merchant should.

  • Who are your favorite writers?
    Frewin Jones and C.S. Lewis has probably influenced me the most in my writing. One of my writing motivations is to be able to write a fantastical series like these writers.
  • Where do you get your ideas?
    For some reason, several of my ideas have literally come to me through my dreams. My first book, Deathly in Love, was a dream so fresh that came to me with several ideas that are in my first chapter.

Inside the Mind - Petra Shaw

Petra Shaw
  • Why do you write Paranormal Cozy Mysteries?
    As a new writer, my ideas were all over the place. I got myself a book coach who listened to all my ideas and suggested that I put them under one roof, and the closest fit for that was Paranormal Cozy Mysteries. Also, I had some extraordinary experiences growing up that affected me. When I've tried to explain these experiences, people often don't believe me and walk away. My book coach told me that telling variations of these experiences in my writing will resonate with readers who have had similar experiences. They'll know and believe. For example, an older gentleman in my neighborhood heard that I wrote books. He invited me to his home and asked about my peculiar experiences. With tears in his eyes, he told me that his years in the Air Force exposed him to similar experiences. He was ordered never to discuss them, but he is grateful that he isn't alone in his experience.
  • What is your creative process?
    Well, there are the reader's expectations in the genre that I have to meet. They are expecting the familiar to bring them into the story, and then I can weave in the unique parts into it. Sometimes I come across something that makes me wonder why that something is the way it is—for example, the story of Rip Van Winkle. There is the main story that we all probably heard since grade school, yet it also has a Postscript after the story that rarely gets shared. The story is about a demon who torments men and turns people into trees. There are details in the postscript that made my mind wander one day with the thought: What if the Rip Van Winkle story were true and his descendants still suffer with it today? What if that demon caused Rip Van Winkle to sleep? That became the basis for my second book.
