Inside the Mind - Anhait

Anhait
  • What inspired you to start writing?
    My real name is Anahit but my pen name is Anhait (unknown). I am always inspired by life to write, but I also use my imagination to make my works attractive. As a poetess I write my prose poetically with metaphors, allegorical expressions and philosophical depth.
  • Can you tell us a little about your latest book?
    My latest book is a memoir. It is based on my own and my ancestors' memories.

Inside the Mind - Marina Koulouris

Marina Koulouris
  • What inspired you to start writing?
    I've been creating stories in my mind since I was a child, finding a rare kind of freedom in the ability to live other lives and feel things beyond my own. At fifteen, I started putting those worlds on paper, a private act of liberation that was, for a long time, enough. But as the stories grew, so did a new, more profound need: the desire to share them. To see if the worlds I built in my head could find a home in someone else’s. Now, decades later, I still write for that same sense of creative freedom, but also because I want to put those parts of myself to the test of being communicated, and even judged. First, it's a process that's purely mine. Then, it's about connecting and sharing that piece of me with others.
  • Are there any universal themes that you write about, an enduring human truth you hope to explore with your books?
    I'm an incurable romantic, but not just for the heart-pounding kind of love. I'm searching for something enduring in a world constantly in turmoil. Whether it’s a global conflict or a personal crisis, I want to explore how we find our footing when the ground beneath us is shifting. I believe the truth of people and their choices is never black or white. It's found in the gray areas of identity, morality, and perception. It's here, in the moral ambiguity of life, that I explore how love—not just a love between two people, but a love and acceptance of ourselves and others—becomes a sustaining power. World War II is the perfect backdrop for this. It's close enough to resonate with our modern crises, but distant enough to be explored with a clearer vision. In that world of turmoil, I want to show how love, in its many forms, is the truest act of resilience.

Inside the Mind - Manoranjan ghoshal

M
  • What inspired you to start writing?
    The question of science first encouraged me to enter the world of study and writing. At that time, I used to think and write about science. After that, I gradually entered the world of literature. Although my father had a penchant for writing, I may have inherited it.
  • Can you tell us a little about your latest book?
    I can't really judge anything by the latest book. For example, I have written many books on geometry, new ideas in physics, science fiction, mystery, or love, and it is not possible for me to single out one of them as good. However, in literature, I like science fiction a little more. in these, scientist BINI and Teaven Gurdemo is favorite.

Inside the Mind - Anjali Paul

Anjali Paul
  • What inspired you to start writing?
    I wanted to be a writer ever since I could remember. I think I chose this path as a young girl because I could not communicate clearly, and I wanted to be understood. Learning the art and craft of writing helped me to communicate with clarity.
  • Can you tell us a little about your latest book?
    My latest book is non-fiction. It is called Quiet Power and Subtle Influence: The Art of Leading with Emotional Intelligence. I wrote it in a burst of inspiration. It delves deeply into how leaders communicate to establish and maintain their authority.

Inside the Mind - Paul Fox

P
  • What inspired you to start writing?
    Growing up as a gay man in the 1970’s and 80’s was a difficult experience. At that time it was still illegal and there was no gay marriage or even Pride. I felt isolated and thought there may be something wrong with me. The way I find to help myself was to write and draw my feelings in a book I kept hidden from others, a kind of diary I guess.
  • Can you tell us a little about your latest book?
    My book is made up of lots of the things I wrote in my “diary” about being gay, my feelings, falling in and out of love and the struggle to come to terms with who I really am.

Inside the Mind - Zapphire Zucca

Zapphire Zucca
  • What inspired you to start writing?
    I started writing when I was about 12 or 13. I’ve always had a vivid imagination, and on my way home from school, I’d often drift into daydreams—picturing myself as someone else, sometimes even imagining a life where I was a celebrity with the perfect husband and kids. But as I got older, people told me I wouldn’t amount to much. Then, after having my son at a young age, I stepped away from writing for a while. In 2016, I finally picked up the pen again and wrote my first book, sharing pieces of my own life. I published it under my legal name, more for my own healing than anything else. Fast forward to 2023—life hit me hard again. I found myself in such a dark place, nearly ready to give up on everything because of painful events involving my husband and my former pastor. But instead of letting it break me, I turned back to writing. In just four months, I poured my pain into words and created a six-book short series. Even though I was struggling with deep depression, writing became my lifeline. It truly saved me.
  • Can you tell us a little about your latest book?
    My latest book, *Mask*, was published on July 31, 2025. It tells the story of a woman who was sexually assaulted by her first cousin at age 12. In the story, Devyn, the FMC, hides her pain from that traumatic experience. As an adult, Devyn becomes a lawyer and adopts a 'mask' — not a physical one, but a facade. She appears powerful in the courtroom. One day, at a charity ball, she meets Vaughn Thornwood, a successful lawyer who is in a loveless marriage. Vaughn longs for a genuine relationship and children, which he doesn't have in his marriage. While working on a case together, Vaughn recognizes the mask Devyn is hiding behind. Eventually, he sees her true self, and she feels safe enough to be herself.

Molly's New Pony Sir Wallace McGee and Ella's Journey - David P Casentini

David Casentini
  • What inspired you to start writing?
    I was inspired by my two daughters when they were young to write about what I believe are things that matter for children...how to set a goal, work towards a goal, how to build confidence, believe in yourself, and basically know that you are loved and have the strength and courage to go after your dreams and become the person you want to be.
  • Can you tell us a little about your latest book?
    My latest book, Ella's Journey, is about a young girl who feels a bit lost not knowing how to get from "here to there" and questioning what it takes to succeed in life. She's greeted by a mystical figure in a dream who takes her and her dog Bo on a journey of discovery, learning about four key pillars that can help build character and lead to a joyful and fulfilling life.

Inside the Mind - Gary Ballard

Gary Ballard
  • What inspired you to start writing?
    I've always loved reading from an early age, but it was the getting interested in early tabletop role-playing games that really lit the fire. I adored Dungeons & Dragons and Tolkien, and my first writing on my mom's old typewriter was stories about fantasy adventures with a crew misfit dungeon crawlers.
  • Can you tell us a little about your latest book?
    Hiss Whistle Dead started as a episodic novel using the Kindle Vella formula, which got discontinued halfway through the release of the episodes. I quickly bundled the story into a full novel and released it in December of 2024. It's a cyberpunk murder mystery starring Shel, a freelance hacker specializing in collecting the accounts of the recently deceased. When her gender neutral brother dies of a mysterious stroke, she begins to investigate their life, learning more than she expected about the person she thought she knew. It is an examination of grief, gender identity, AI, mental illness, and relationships.

Inside the Mind - Geoffrey R. Jonas

G
  • What inspired you to start writing?
    Simply put, the death of my sister. After her death, I began to research how such a thing could happen. I had already been studying Substance Use Disorder (SUD) and trauma for many years; however, this was the first time I started looking directly into my family. The writing began as essays, discussing the abuse and trauma and how it relates to SUD. Once I started connecting the dots between trauma and SUD, I wanted to incorporate real-life examples of our experiences to better communicate that relation.
  • Can you tell us a little about your latest book?
    This book was a way for me to process the loss of my sister. I struggled to understand how it could have gotten so bad that she had to die. Through this process I discovered my own history of abuse, as well as how bad the abuse was for her. I needed to understand why. The title has a double meaning. First, to represent the process of how one becomes broken through abuse and trauma. Second, to describe living with Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD), as it feels to me. There’s a process to being broken by our parents, and there’s living with the consequences of the feeling of being broken.
