Inside the Mind - R.A. Lingenfelter

R.A. Lingenfelter
  • What inspired you to start writing?
    My journey into writing was entirely unplanned. With a background in automotive technology, I never envisioned myself as an author. However, after the birth of my daughter, I found myself unexpectedly fired during my maternity leave. To support my family, I took a night shift job, allowing my husband and me to alternate caring for our newborn. In the midst of exhaustion and frustration, I began jotting down dark thoughts about my former boss, imagining elaborate scenarios of revenge that would appear accidental. My father, who was living with us at the time, stumbled upon my musings and suggested they could form the basis of a compelling story. Inspired by his encouragement, I transformed those vengeful ideas into my debut novel, Mechanics of Murder. Since then, I have embraced my newfound passion for writing and dedicated myself to honing my skills. This unexpected turn of events has led me to become an award-winning author, and I have never looked back. What began as a cathartic outlet has blossomed into a fulfilling career that I cherish deeply.
  • Can you tell us a little about your latest book?
    I just finished the fifth and final book in my Order & Chaos series. It is a bittersweet end, saying goodbye to the series I celebrated and cried with the past 6 years. It launched me into the world of being an award-winning author and also the world of being banned on social media.

  • What drew you to historical fiction?
    History is full of forgotten voices and unsolved mysteries. I like peeling back layers and imagining what might’ve been happening just out of sight.
  • What’s your latest book about?
    The Ashes of Valemont is set in 17th-century England during the plague. It follows a physician torn between duty and survival, and the secrets buried beneath a quarantined manor.

Inside the Mind - Lila Moreau

  • What inspired you to start writing?
    I grew up surrounded by poetry and music. My grandmother was a pianist, and my mother always had a book in her hand. Writing became my way of expressing emotions I didn’t know how to say out loud.
  • Can you tell us a little about your latest book?
    It’s called The Quiet Hours and it’s a gentle literary novel about grief and unexpected friendships. It’s slow-paced, reflective, and touches on how people heal in different ways.

Inside the Mind - Latisha S.

L
  • What inspired you to start writing?
    The spark came from [personal experience/news article/historical event]. I kept imagining 'what if...?' scenarios, and the characters took shape around that central question. For example, the protagonist's struggle with [specific challenge] mirrors themes I’ve always wanted to explore, like resilience in the face of systemic injustice.
  • How do you balance writing with other responsibilities?
    Ruthless scheduling! I write for 90 minutes every morning before my day job. Weekends are for deeper dives. It’s not glamorous, but protecting that time is non-negotiable. Saying 'no' to distractions is the indie author’s superpower.
