Author Interview: Welcome author Frank Riganelli

I'm excited to have Frank Riganelli who shares his experience as a writer! His experiences along with his compassion for first time authors moves him! Let's see how he does it...

Welcome, Frank! Tell us about yourself and yourbook.

 

Well, I've enjoyed the tellingof a good story for as long as I can remember. That led me to write five novelsand my latest book that helps people write their own. I've had the good fortuneto be able to travel, and have lived in six countries - from North America, toEurope, and to the far East. That doesn't include home, which is Canada, whereI live now on Vancouver Island. I have one son, and my hobbies are writing andtutoring English when I'm not at my full-time job.

 

My latest book is about helpingfirst-time authors write their own novel, and, as you might guess, it's titledHOW TO WRITE A NOVEL : For First-Time Authors. I feel like all the novels I'vewritten are in this one book, in a way, because it looks at what's involved andwhat the writer goes through in writing their tale. But as for my lastfull-length novel, it's a cross-genre thriller. An epic, I'm happy to say. Ilove epics stories. I managed to combine two stories in it; one about a girlstruggling through a difficult personal time, and a second about the timelessquestion, 'Why are we here?' Epic Sci-Fi is my favourite genre. I picked up anappreciation for sciency things having studied engineering. I'm notexaggerating when I say it took a lot of reflection to be able to mesh the twointo one coherent whole. And that was before I even wrote the first word. I wasable to shape the story to be able to use the book cover's tagline, 'Theworld's final chance', and I don't think I'm giving anything away if you seethe cover, when I say that it all comes down to the main character of one ofthe stories; a girl going through a struggle in her life – how she's led toface it - and how that will literally save the world, in agrand-design-by-powers-that-are-beyond-us, kind of way.

#IWSG: Writers, Unite!

September's question of the monty - What genre would be the worst one for you to tackle and why?

A shout out to the wonderful cohosts for the month:Kim Lajevardi, Cathrina Constantine, Natalie Aguirre, Olga Godim, Michelle Wallace, and Louise - Fundy Blue!

I will address how writers need writers instead of answering the prompt. First, writing is a lonely place to be with our scribbling, imagining, and creating. Social interactions might become awkward to some of us as we prefer to scuttle back into our caves where our keyboard is safely tucked away.

But sometimes we feel brave enough to stir from our holes for a breath of fresh air or some warm sunshine and, yes, we meet other writers. We need others who share the same interests, who understand how it feels to have voices take over our thoughts, the voices that jump to life and seize the reins of a scene, and even the voices that refuse to be silenced when it's supposed to be The End.

Who else can we turn to but those who experience such things?
I come from a place where writers are busting at the seams; where they can be found under books and hiding in the mortar of the libraries as well as at book stores (who knew, right?).
Well, moving to where I'm at, it was a shock to see what an antithesis it has been. There are no writers anywhere. Impossible! Where did they all go?

Inspired and feeling brave--finally!--after years of hiding under a rock, I found the courage to start a writing group. It isn't just any group, but an Insecure Writers Support In-Person Writing Group!

I started out with one the second week, then another, and another, and another--the first one as loyal as ever to the cause of writing. The numbers have stabilized to seven, but it is a good number. Everyone is at a different stage of writing but we all love it and take it very seriously.

I like to follow the Knights of the Round Table concept where we follow a schedule but, since we are all adults, we are free to touch on what we need to do the most. It's not stiff and formal but relaxed and comfortable. I hope I'm doing okay with it because I'm insecure. Perfect, right? Haha!
I'm also reaching out to writers on other platforms to share their love for writing here on my website. We will do spotlights, interviews, guest posts--whatever feeds the muse.
I started my career this way, reaching out to others and lifting them high because everyone deserves the chance to shine. We are all in this together and books are like delicious bonbons--it's our responsibility to keep the readers well-stocked with our beloved craft. Right?

Can you name a time when someone reached out to you and lifted you upon their shoulders for a better view (literally or figuratively)? How do you feel about connecting with other writers? Would you be interested in participating in a spotlight, an interview, or possibly as a guest?

IWSG: Write for Me or Write for Thee?

click on image to join other IWSG writers!

Co-hosts for August are Tara Tyler, Lisa Buie Collard, Loni Townsend, and Lee Lowery!

Aaaand here is the question of the month:

August 3 question - When you set out to write a story, do you try to be more original or do you try to give readers what they want?

thommass68@pixabay

I knew the answer right away when I read that question--which usually doesn't happen to me. Ha! Honestly, I write to appease the demons inside me. The story is waiting to burst through this thin veil of bubble skin and it flows like a movie on a cinematic screen.
Sometimes I have to set it aside on the backburner like I did withAwakenbut that came in an instant gush ten years later.
It is a cathartic experience to live through our characters, to puzzle through the challenges that unfold before them, to fight the foe and vanquish evil. Sometimes we mourn with losses and death but in the end, we come out the victor as the writer, the gods and goddesses of the worlds we create. The reader will sense our passion and rise with our truth!
I went crazy with a few book photos below and thought to share them. They are so fantastical, I couldn't resist!

How is it like for you? Do you write for the love of writing or do you do it to please the masses?

Awaken: A Love Story

We interrupt this regular service for a very important announcement:
Wooohooo! I turned my nifty first *ever* video into a Youtube video. Please celebrate with me!



What good is "perfect" without love?
There is no crime in the Balance. No aging. No death. Living on the outskirts of society, Daemos escapes his prison with dark secrets that threaten the Balance. Because of this evidence, his life is forfeit. N'reena is drawn to him and the impossible happens--she falls for him. Lives are at stake, especially their own! Can she keep him a secret, or will the Balance destroy them?
coming this July! :Pwritten byElizabeth Muellerat4:00 AMNo comments: Email ThisBlogThis!Share to TwitterShare to FacebookShare to PinterestLabels:awaken a love story,book trailer,kindle vella Older PostsHomeSubscribe to:Posts (Atom)
