Joey Pinkney: Where did you get the inspiration to write “Los Angeles Tymez: Urban Tales”?

Big Tray Deee: I wanted to challenge my creative writing ability. Being a strong, solid male figure, I decided to step outside of myself and into the mental and emotional realm of what I imagined to be that of an everyday female stripper.

I’ve certainly been acquainted with several of them, along with frequenting enough of their establishments to be reasonably capable of comprehending their fundamental flavor and overall challenges.

5 Years Strong!

The “JoeyPinkney.com 5 Minutes, 5 Questions With… Author Interview Series” turns 5 years old today!

I am so proud to say that because this Author Interview Series has connected hundreds of thousands of readers to hundred of authors.

Five years ago, Facebook and Twitter were sparkles in their founders’ eyes. Mainstream Social Media was pretty much Myspace. I put in many hours, sitting in my bedroom, clicking away at my computer. Why? Because I wanted to give Black authors to under-recognized authors an avenue to not just spread the word about their books, I wanted to give readers more.

Five years later, I have interviewed authors from around the world.

When I started this author interview series, I had no clue where it would lead, because I was focused on the inner-workings of “book life” from the authors’ perspectives.

Many times, we see a book and the story begins.

I see a book and wonder about “the story” before the story. I also wonder about the story “after” the story. In other words, there is more to a book than the book itself.

Five years later, I’m still intrigued with the process. The who, what, when, where, why and even the how.

Special shout out to each and every author, reader and publisher that has supported this Author Interview Series over the past five years.

Here’s to five more…

I only met Sebastian Peréy in person on one occasion, but that was enough for him to make a lasting and indelible impression. I’ll never forget that day. Even though it happened many, many years ago, it still lingers as fresh in my mind as if it were only yesterday.

Joey Pinkney: Where did you get the inspiration to write “Conversations on the Bench”?

Digger Cartwright: The inspiration for “Conversations on the Bench” came from two friends, Sebastian and Robbie. Sebastian was a mentor to Robbie, sort of like Yoda to Luke Skywalker. Continue reading 5 Minutes, 5 Questions With… Digger Cartwright, author of Conversations on the Bench →
