Six Authors/Six Days Interview & Giveaway Debbie McGowan

About the Author:

Debbie McGowan is an author and publisher based in a semi-rural corner of Lancashire, England. She writes character-driven fiction, covering life, love, relationships—the whole shazam. A working class girl, she ‘ran away’ to London at seventeen, was homeless, unemployed and then homeless again, interspersed with animal rights activism (all legal, honest ;)) and volunteer work as a mental health advocate. At twenty-five, she went back to college to study social science—tough with two toddlers, but they had a ‘stay at home’ dad, so it worked itself out. These days, the toddlers are young women (much to their chagrin), and Debbie teaches undergraduate students, writes novels and runs an independent publishing company, occasionally grabbing an hour of sleep where she can!

Do you plan everything or just let the story flow?

I rarely plan out my stories, usually just going with the flow, especially at the start, where I might have a vague idea of where the story is heading, but prefer to go where it takes me. It can be quite hairy at times. For instance, when I was writing ”A Midnight Clear”, the homeless girl (main character) finds a stray cat, and all the while I was writing the story, I was thinking, please let the cat be OK. I genuinely have no (conscious) idea what’s going to happen.

Do your characters ever want to take over the story?

My characters always take over the story! I let them too – eventually. When I’m working with new characters it takes me a while to reach a point where I trust them enough, but once I let them hold the reins they take the story to amazing places. It actually feels a lot like the experience of reading a story written by someone else.

What drew you to the M/M genre in particular?

I love a bit of romance, but I don’t think much like a woman, so I tend to identify more with men in general, and gay men in particular. A lot of my friends are gay men, so perhaps it’s a little bit about writing what I know.

Do you write in other genres besides M/M?

I do, and in fact I don’t consider the M/M I write as distinct from the rest of it. I write realist contemporary fiction, which incorporates same and opposite gender relationships, both male and female, but also everything else – a bit of crime, the supernatural, family, growing up, etc.

What is your favourite food?

Cheese. I love it. All of it. Well, all except the dodgy grated parmesan that’s sold in pots off the shelf. My favourite cheese is Swiss Emmental, which is nutty and quite tangy, yet sweet and smooth. It has holes in it like cartoon cheese. Fun and delicious!

Are you a morning person or a night owl?

Oh, I am definitely a morning person, but I tend to burn the candle at both ends. My real low point is mid–late afternoon, when I get hardly anything done. Coffee is my saviour.

Where do you dream of travelling to and why?

I’m very much a home body, but if I did venture out I’d really loved to travel the US and meet up with all the amazing authors I know whom I have only met online – we have a whole road trip planned out based on where they live. 

Do distant places feature in your books?

Occasionally I send my characters of to distant places. I had two characters go to Nepal to deliver a catering ovens to a remote Himalayan village. I also have a few characters who have made the trans-Atlantic migration (both ways), plus characters who are non-UK (most of my stories are based in the UK) and moved to England prior to the start of the story.

Do you listen to music while writing?

No, as I can’t, which is a bummer, as I have permanent tinnitus and sometimes it is so loud I can’t concentrate. That said, my novels In The Stars Part I and In The Stars Part II have many chapters based on songs, where I tried to capture the story, or the ’feel’ of the song in the chapter. For example, I killed a character (it was awful, I cried a lot) and used Robbie Williams’ ”Morning Sun” as my inspiration, trying to capture the feeling of the song, the sense of numbness that follows losing someone we love. I can’t listen to the song now without being wracked with guilt and loss.

Could you tell us a bit about your latest release?

I’ve had a couple of releases in the past month, and another one coming on December 15th, which are all stand-alone stories, but are also part of my series, Hiding Behind The Couch, plus one of them is in Boughs of Evergreen Holiday Anthology. Crying in the Rain came out on November 11th, and it’s “M/M” romance. It’s the story of Ade Simmons, a radio producer trying to leave behind an abusive relationship, and he meets actor Kris Johansson at work. ”A Midnight Clear” is the story in Boughs of Evergreen, and it takes place a year after Crying in the Rain. It’s about a homeless girl who arrives in George and Josh’s hometown, George and Josh being friends of the previously mentioned Kris Johansson. So, ”A Midnight Clear” is not M/M romance, or even romance, but George and Josh are an established couple and they are very romantic and in love (their story is partly told in First Christmas and Breaking Waves). Finally, there’s Red Hot Christmas, which comes out on December 15th, and it’s mostly F/M romance. The main character, Shaunna, is the aforementioned Kris Johansson’s ex-wife (Kris is bisexual), and it’s F/M, not M/F, because Shaunna is a strong, confident, sexy woman.

What have you learned about writing and publishing since you first started?

I have learned that Beta readers are indispensible. Every author needs people they trust to be honest and who know their way around a book. Authors should listen (discerningly) to what their beta readers say. Also, it doesn’t matter how much marketing you do or money you spend. It’s a combination of the right cover, the right blurb and the right social networking that gets an author noticed. Of course, you need a good product too, so making sure books are properly edited and proof-read is also a must.

Is there anything you would do differently?

I wish I’d started writing for real earlier. I’ve always written, but didn’t properly set about writing a novel until I was twenty-five, and it took me seven years to finish. It was published in 2004. After that I got quicker! I didn’t write anything else until 2007, and the rest of it has happened in the seven years since.

Who, or what, if anything has influenced your writing?

Mostly it’s just life experiences that have influenced, and continue to influence my writing. I’ve been around a while and met so many incredible people, and I watch and listen all the time, so I learn stuff that is often less obvious, or kept hidden away deliberately. It’s been a colourful life so far, so I have lots to write about!

What are three words that describe you?

Workaholic, brainiac, introvert

What's your favourite book or who is your favourite writer?

Hm, well, I’m a dog person – I like dogs more than people. To them, every new thing is their favourite thing. That’s me with books. 

Blurb of your latest release or coming soon book

Crying in the Rain (ebook and paperback)

For many years, Ade Simmons has been an outsider, trapped in an abusive relationship, seeking sanctuary in his job as a radio producer, and in the checklists he makes in an attempt to regain control of his sorry excuse of a life.

Actor Kris Johansson is patient, gentle and passionate—everything that Ade’s ex-boyfriend is not. When Kris takes a role in one of Ade’s plays, the attraction is mutual and instant. It is the turning point for Ade. He can either stay on the same path, with Fergus—the bully who has repressed, used and isolated him from his friends and family—or he can look in the other direction, towards Kris—the handsome actor with family and friends who readily accept him.

But Fergus will not give up his punchbag so easily—can Ade finally find the strength to fight back?

Today our interview is with Jonathan Penn

About the Author:

Jonathan grew up in The South. While new to the world of writing, he has been inventing tales for at least fifty years. He was probably also making stuff up during the two years prior to that but, as this was his pre-verbal period, there’s no evidence one way or the other. He enjoys gardening. He gardens, and enjoys red wines, cooking, theatre, singing and, of course, writing. Jonathan reminds himself every day how fortunate he is to have shared the best and worst of the last thirty-three years with the man of his dreams. He loves hearing from readers, so please feel free to contact him.

Do you plan everything or just let the story flow?

If you look up Obsessive-Compulsive Anal-Retentive Personality Disorder in Webster’s, there’s a picture of me. I begin with a vague outline of everything, and then start filling it in. Then, I tend to work both from the beginning forward, and from the end backward. I hear “pansters” talk about how they work—my favorite author sits down with her characters in mind and a general idea of the story, and then she just starts typing. I keep telling myself I should try it sometime, but it’s just too scary. I guess I’m a bit of a control freak?

 Do your characters ever want to take over the story?

Gay men in love, pushy? Are you kidding me? (*LOL*)  Actually, I love the times when they’re yelling and waving to get my attention and trying to convince me to tell it their way. It’s the other times that make me crazy—when they just sit there staring at me in stony silence, and all I can do is stare back. Well?  Anything?  Argh!!!

 What drew you to the M/M genre in particular?

I’m a gay man, so discovering this genre—the only form of media other than porn where I’d encountered characters who were like me, and were portrayed in a positive light—felt a lot like coming home. I’ve never looked back.

Do you write in other genres besides M/M?

Not so far. I’d like to write The Great American Novel someday, but then, who wouldn’t?

What is your favourite food?

Eggs Florentine.

Are you a morning person or a night owl?

I am a creature of the night.

Where do you dream of traveling to and why?

I’d love to go back to Hawaii. We were there for two weeks a few years ago and seriously considered attempting to make arrangements by phone for the sale of our house and belongings back home so we could just stay forever. All of Europe is also on my bucket list, but Ireland in particular as that’s my ancestral home.  I also have a fascination with Japan, but I turn chicken when I think about actually going there.

Do distant places feature in your books?

So far, only in a peripheral way. In Raising Cade, Alan is a retired Marine who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, and those experiences in distant places formed him into the man he is today, but the places themselves aren’t actually featured. I would very much like to write stories set in far-off lands, because I believe that to really capture the essence of a place it’s best to spend time there, and I adore travel!

Do you listen to music while writing?

Definitely! One part of the extensive planning I mentioned before is doing an in-depth interview with each of my characters. I find out what kind of music they like, and then I have that playing in the background when I’m writing their scene. Of course, sometimes, they argue over the remote, and it can get a bit messy.

Could you tell us a bit about your latest release?

Well… there’s a link at the end of this interview to my very latest release, Turnabout, that came out last week, but I’m really here today to talk about the one from three weeks ago, Homme for the Holidays. It’s a short story sequel to my first novella, Raising Cade. I wrote the novella as part of the annual Don’t Read in the Closet writing event at the M/M Romance Group on Goodreads. Deb McGowan, the publisher of Boughs of Evergreen, read it and liked it enough to ask if I’d consider writing a holiday short with the same characters. I had mixed feelings for about a minute, until she mentioned it would be a fundraiser for The Trevor Project (thetrevorproject.org), and then I jumped right on the bandwagon. I’m delighted for the opportunity to support their crucial work in crisis intervention and suicide prevention for LGBT youth aged 13-24.

What have you learned about writing and publishing since you first started?

I’ve learned to ignore the little voice that seems to enjoy telling me I’m not good enough and I can’t do this. Well, not ignore so much—that never works—more like pat him on the head and say, “There, there, Dear. We shall see.” I’ve also learned more grammar in the last nine months than I did in fourteen years of school… probably because now, it matters! (*LOL*)  I’ve learned a lot by studying the works of authors I love, but maybe almost as much by reading works I dislike, and analyzing why I don’t like them. So far, I’ve only worked with two publishers. They were as different as night and day, but both effective in producing results. I think my biggest lesson has been to set aside “personalities” and work to build healthy relationships.

Is there anything you would do differently?

Yes, I would have started thirty years sooner if I’d had any idea there was a way to face ridiculously difficult challenges and at the same time have more fun than I’d ever imagined possible!

Who, or what, if anything has influenced your writing?

To some extent, everything I’ve ever seen, heard, read, thought, smelled (*LOL* you get the picture) comes into play when I’m writing. The things that seem to leave the most lasting impressions on my mind are those it classifies as “clever,” so writings by the likes of Edward Albee, Tony Kushner, David Sedaris, Gore Vidal, Thornton Wilder, Noel Coward, Tennessee Williams, Armistead Maupin, Harvey Fierstein, and Oscar Wilde have all been influential. Oh! Gosh! I just noticed… they’re all gay men… Hmm… I think that might have something to do with it as well.

Anything you would say to those just starting out in the craft?

As a newbie on the scene, I’m in no position to pontificate. I will say that what was most helpful as I was starting out was the encouragement and support of old friends combined with the kind and generous assistance of new friends who were already doing what I wanted to do.

What are three words that describe you?

Cheerful, garrulous, and insecure.

What's your favourite book or who is your favourite writer?

My favorite author is Kaje Harper. My favorite book is Into This River I Drown by Tj Klune.

Blurb of your latest release or coming soon book:

Homme for the Holidays (from Boughs of Evergreen)

Cade Bishop is finally on the mend from a traumatic event that happened almost five years ago. That healing didn't really start until last April, when he met Alan Troxler.

Alan has problems of his own, but he's noticed over the last eight months that the more time he shares with Cade, the more easily he's able to put his troubles to rest.

They're traveling together to Asheville, North Carolina to renew a Christmas tradition that was an important part of Alan's past, and to introduce him to Cade's parents—one of the few worries he hasn't been able to let go.

About the Author:

Matthias Williamson has always had characters in his head. There were times when he was little when he couldn’t go to sleep because there was too much talking going on. He finally stopped one day and started writing what the characters were saying, and stories emerged. Finally, he’s finishing the stories.

Do you plan everything or just let the story flow? I’m a total pantser, well I think I can also be called a plantser, because sometimes I’ll be going and then all of a sudden, I’m plotting out where the next scene will go.

Do your characters ever want to take over the story? 

Yup, my current WIP became a Threesome, because Aaron just had to keep showing up.

What drew you to the M/M genre in particular?

Josh Lanyon. And as a gay man, I remember growing up and not having anything positive to read. (I’m fairly old.)

Do you write in other genres besides M/M?

I do, I’ve got another pen name, where I touch on much more racy things.

What is your favourite food? 

Something I created at work, I asked for a Chicken Quesadilla without the tortilla and had it placed on a bed of french fries. It’s my version of Irish Nachos.

Are you a morning person or a night owl? 

I’m both, I find that I’m not a mid-afternoon person.  I can go to bed at 1am, wake up at 6am and crash around 2pm right after lunch.

Where do you dream of travelling to and why? 

I’d love to go to England, because I’ve got so many friends over there.  And Genoa, Italy, I’ve got a passion for the Middle Ages.  I’ve got a sick desire to travel the path of the black death. (Oooh, plot bunny)

Do distant places feature in your books? 

I’m working on an Urban Fantasy, it’s fun to tweak places.

Do you listen to music while writing?

Yes, I’ve got several playlists on Spotify.  In fact, I create playlists and then stories pop in my head when I hear them.

Could you tell us a bit about your latest release?

Holidays with Drum and Bell follows the relationship of two high school boys, it begins with Christmas and ends just after graduation.  The story touches on several holidays: Christmas, New Year’s Eve, Valentine’s Day, Saint Patrick’s Day, and Earth Day.

What have you learned about writing and publishing since you first started?

I’ve learned that if you don’t submit it, you’ll never know if it’ll get accepted.  It’s like the story about the frog on the log.  He wanted to get off the log, but he never did, because he always wanted to do it.  He never did it.

Is there anything you would do differently?

Actually no, I think I needed to wait as long as I did to feel comfortable enough to submit when I did.

Who, or what, if anything has influenced your writing? 

Everyone.  I’ve never been surrounded by a more helpful group of authors.  Encouraging, cheering, helping.  From idols who chat with me online, to brand new discovered authors who are going through the same fears and joys that I am.  I think being in this Anthology has also helped with support, as we are all constantly cheering on one another.

Anything you would say to those just starting out in the craft? 

Ask questions, don’t be afraid to submit.  Believe in what you are writing, listen to your beta readers and beta editors.  Have fun, eat chocolate, dance in the rain. Because when you get that email of acceptance you’ll be jumping out of your pants.  The last story I sold, I’ve looked at the email a hundred times to make sure it was accepted.

What are three words that describe you?

Jovial, naughty, & humorous.

What's your favourite book or who is your favourite writer?

Josh Lanyon, a couple of years ago, I read 25 of his stories.  I’d just gotten my nook and I couldn’t read them fast enough.

Excerpt:

Holidays with Drum and Bell!

I jumped over the cliff without looking and asked, “And your heart wasn’t with your girl either?”

He gulped his coffee. “No. We fought because I wanted something else. I wanted someone more like…” He took another huge gulp of coffee. Speaking into the huge mug amplified his words. “More like you.” The blush rose in his cheeks.

Breathing coffee, not air , proved not to be the best thing. Coughing ensued, and by coughing, I really mean I was spitting it up as I laughed. Then I made the biggest faux pas. I couldn’t believe there was still coffee left in me, but the next thing I knew it was all over his chest . My face was bright red from the coughing jag and the blush of embarrassment. Foam was everywhere, mostly dripping from my nose, and if his shirt was any indication of what I looked like, I’m pretty sure I looked like a mess.

“Oh my god, Jeff… you…” Jonah ran to the counter and got a cup of water. He also brought some napkins, which he threw at me, and grabbed at my coffee. It was hot and slipped out of his hand, slamming onto the sofa, exploding between us. We were now both covered in latte foam. It was horrendous.
