Author Interview with novelist Amy Vansant

This is an excerpt from my post on Focus on Fiction. Read the full interview at
Amy Vansant My initial connection with Amy Vansant came about when I used her service, AuthorsXP, to help promote my books.

In one of her marketing emails, she mentioned she had a new book out, Pineapple Trivia Night: A cozy mystery like CLUE full of riddles & puzzlesPineapple Trivia Night (Book 18 in her Pineapple Port Mysteries), and since I am all about helping other authors promote their books, I reached out to her to offer her a spot on Focus on Fiction.

But it wasn’t until I read her bio that I found out just how prolific she is, which also made me feel like a lazy slug! A USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author, Amy has written more than 30 books and specializes in fun, exciting reads with plenty of laughs and action.

Here are some excerpts from our interview!

Tell us about your newest book.
Pineapple Trivia Night: A cozy mystery like CLUE full of riddles & puzzlesIn Pineapple Trivia Night, newly engaged private investigators, Charlotte and Declan, are hired to go undercover in a high-stakes trivia contest at the castle of an eccentric retired game show host.
While they need the work and the price is right, thanks to a family feud, what sounds like a fun job, turns out to be jeopardy.
The dress code is formal, the guest list is conniving, the castle is locked, and there's one other glaring issue...
I'll take dead guy in the hidden passageway for five hundred, Alex...

What is the next project you have in the works?
I’m almost done with the next Pineapple Port Mystery and then I’m contemplating writing a standalone romance or thriller. Although series are easier to sell and even though the ideas I have for these I’m really happy about, I worry about writing a rando book I have to think about separately for marketing. Marketing is exhausting!

Is writing your full-time career?
Yes and no—I write full time, but I also own and run AuthorsXP.com (a book marketing firm for authors and book deal service for readers).

What advice do you have for other writers who are contemplating pursuing a writing career?
KEEP WRITING. You can’t publish, sell or improve if you don’t keep constantly writing!
