Keep reading, the FREE eBook link will be within this spotlight somewhere…

A number of years ago I met Launa online, at an Amazon forum for Maine Writers. She came back with a big warm welcome! I was born and raised in Maine, but was living in Ohio at the time–we started chatting online through various author circles and stayed in touch. When I went to Maine in 2011, it wasn’t long before we had our first personal meeting and luncheon. I already knew we had a bond…I’m certain it wasn’t just because we were both authors and both from Maine. Our paths crossed for a reason, and soon Launa became family to me. I love her dearly, and I know you will too! It was important for me to do this spotlight with Launa, because she truly is an amazing writer! Please help me in welcoming her to the fan club by commenting at the end of this post…Give it up for LAUNA MCNEILLY AUTHOR. **Hands clapping-crowd cheering!**

With that said Launa, let’s get on with your spotlight.

Launa McNeilly Author

1.) What led you to become an author? I had a story in my head and needed to write it.
2.) What genre do you write? I write fictional drama/ mystery and paranormal.
3.) When you write, do you prefer silence or do you like to listen to music or the television? I have written while the TV is on but much prefer silence. Though when the scenes are playing in my head, it doesn’t matter what is going on around me, as the focus is the writing.
4.) Do you have a particular place you prefer to write? I always write in my recliner. I’m comfortable and I can concentrate on getting the story typed onto my laptop.
5.) How long did it take you to write your first book? My first book was quick because I had it in my head for so long. It took me three months to write it, but as writers know, in creating a book it’s usually the easy part of the process.
6.) Where do you get your inspirations from to write? My inspiration for writing comes from the characters that seem to pop into my head and when I listen to them, a story is born.
7.) Can you describe the feeling you had when you held your first published book? The day I opened the box to see my first novel in book form was unbelievable. I held it, smelled it, opened it, closed it, and stared at the cover with my name on it. I won’t say it was as much a miracle as holding my newborns, but it was close.
8.) What book are you currently working on? I have finished my fourth book, “In The Shadows Of Boston” which is now in the editing phase and I hope to have it out by the end of the year at the latest.

Dennis Higgins and I (Virginia Wright) became Facebook author friends back in April of 2012. We became close after discovering that we both lost siblings too early in life, we adopted each other as virtual brother and sister. Often people think we actually are blood siblings.

In 2014, Dennis asked if I would be willing to do some illustrations for his book, Steampunk Alice. I ran with it and not only made illustrations for the interior but ended up illustrating the entire front cover. It won 1st place in the 2014 Author DB cover contest. Thanks, Brother! I appreciated the illustrating challenge. :-)

Virginia Wright:
Raised and grew up in the state of Maine throughout her childhood and into her teen years. Virginia is author and illustrator of several children’s books– Wild Animal Sounds, Crying Bear: Yes, Bears Cry Sometimes, too, The Princess and the Castle, and The Prince and the Dragon. Virginia is also author of an educational, non-fiction book: Buzzzzzzzz What Honeybees Do. Plus two Christmas books: The Christmas Secret deemed a Christmas Classic, and Timothy, the Christmas Mouse is her latest release.
Virginia says lately, she has found her love of words in children’s writing; though she has been known to write in other genres.  She presently lives in the beautiful state of Maine. When she isn’t sifting through recipes, cooking, or photographing, her time is spent as a freelance writer, with her pen and pad in hand, doing what she enjoys doing most, writing…
Dennis Higgins:
Relative of Davy Crockett…World traveler.
As a native of Chicago, Illinois, I have always possessed a romance with things of the past that are gone but not forgotten.  I now live in the suburbs with my lovely wife, our dog and a couple of birds.
Among my influences are:  Richard Matheson, Jack Finney, Dean Koontz, Michael Crichton, Joan Wester Anderson, Peter S. Beagle and Audrey Neffenegger .The Time Pilgrims series is exciting, treasured, and loved by YA, NA as well as adults.
Quote:
“I once courted a Victorian lass in old Chicago. We had to part, it just wasn’t our time.”
