In over fifty interviews, I had yet to interview an LGBTQ genre author or a romance novelist. So it's about time I killed those two birds. Meet Amy Tasukada, who also writes stories about the Japanese mafia; so, she fits right in here.
​
Amy Tasukada lives in North Texas with a calico cat called O’Hara. As an only child her day dreams kept her entertained, and at age ten she started to put them to paper. Since then her love of writing hasn’t cease. She can be found drinking hot tea and filming Japanese street fashion hauls on her Youtube channel. .

You can find Amy through her website, www.amytasukada.com, on Facebook, Youtube, or on Twitter where she is @amytasukada.

This is the second time Mark and I have gotten together to discuss his writing, and he had so much to add. It's amazing how much changes in the back catalog of a prolific writer like Mark in just a year's time.

Mark Gardner is an author and broadcast professional living in Prescott, Arizona. His grandfather introduced him to the alternate history writings of Harry Turtledove at a young age. That started a life-long love affair with speculative fiction. After being fired from a thankless job in retail sales, he began to write his own stories. His first publication was Body Rentals. Since then, he has written 11 books, including War of the Worlds: Retaliation, the superhero series, Sixteen Sunsets Saga, and hard sci-fi collaborative novel, Days Until Home. His books are favorites among fans of Sin City, The Martian, The Punisher, and Firefly. His work is a fast paced, no-nonsense, thrill ride into many genres, including science fiction, superhero, dystopian, and historical fiction. His works are available in nine languages, and he has fans on all seven continents.

Find Mark through his website, www.article94.com, or on Twitter where he is @article_94
