TEN Questions with 𝗚𝘄𝗲𝗻 𝗥𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗰𝗸

1. Can you please introduce yourself and tell us something about your book "How to Train your Hooman: A Field Guide" Answer - I’m Gwen, but more readily known to book fans as “the squishy one” or “devil woman”. That’s what Finn calls me as he describes his life in his books. When Finn had to describe his new hoomans, he called it like he saw it – I became “the squishy one” and my husband became “the hairy one.”  And when he is irritated with me, which is often, he calls me, “devil woman”. I’m very new to the world of writing. It’s been a really crazy year. If you’d told me last spring I’d be writing and marketing books, guest teaching with littles or pawtographing books from my kitchen table… I would’ve thought you were bonkers.  My career has been in the legal field – helping corporations, nonprofits and governments with ethics, compliance and anti-corruption programs. I’m also a passionate volunteer with a few different organizations that: help children experie...

TEN Questions with David Rohlfing

1. Can you please introduce yourself and tell us something about your book "Deliberate Duplicity: A Detective Sasha Frank Mystery." Answer -  After a career in the global business world, a friend suggested that I write a book on my business experiences and philosophy then become a conference speaker. I didn't find the idea of writing about myself appealing, but I enjoyed writing a blog for many years and decided to try to write a murder mystery, a significant pivot I know. Many murder mystery books typically take place in large cities. After developing the lead fictional character, Sasha Frank, I thought readers might enjoy a book with a police detective located in a small Midwest city in the United States. "Deliberate Duplicity" has multiple murders with bodies posed along the Constitution Trail; a series of abandoned railway lines transformed into walking and jogging paths that run through the "Twin-Cities" of Bloomington-Normal, Illinois...

1. Can you please introduce yourself and tell us something about your book "Pascal's chamber: and other short stories" Answer - Born in 1978 in Kassel, Germany, he discovered his love for books and fairy tales early on. At the age of 12 he read the novel “The Physician” by Noah Gordon because he had an early desire to become a doctor. When this did not come true, he became a teacher. On the side, he filled his private life with books, fantasy roleplaying games and classic movies. He played amateur theater and was for quite a while an honorary assistant in a picture gallery. Quite enough weirdness to be a writer. This collection of short stories ist the result of weird experiences with society and humanity. They are in fact relatively short compared to the American masterpiece narratives. They are condensed, sharp and often a slap in the face, metaphorically speaking. The following 10 short stories vary between stubborn birds, dystopian glimpses, and transcen...
