Book: The F Word
Q1. Please introduce yourself so that the readers will get to know you better.
My name is Paris Chanel and I’m a writer from Chicago, Il. I write humor books, children books, and YA Fiction. I can write anything.
Q2. What is your inspiration behind your book “The F Word”?
My son was my inspiration. He repeats everything and much like his parents, he adds a comical spin to everything he does, even when he’s being mischievous. This story is based on a true story, condensed down to one day.
Q3. What are your hobbies apart from writing?
Apart from writing, I love to read! LOVE to read. Reading relaxes my mind and opens the world (this world and factitious worlds) up for me.
Q4. Are you planning to write your next book soon?
My next humor book and four children’s books are COMPLETED! They just need to be illustrated. I want to keep my same illustrator, @Taiye_okoh, because he’s the best and understands my vision for the stories. Hopefully we can have three more out by the end of this year. I’m also in the middle of re-writing a couple of YA Fiction books that I can’t wait to introduce to the world. There’s nothing like them.
Q5. For which age group your book “The F Word” is suitable?
Good question! This book is targeted to any adult with a sense of humor. The book is funny! I am also targeting parents, who I think will find the book most relatable. They can decide if the book is suitable for their child to read for a laugh.
Q6. What is your favorite Quote?
I don’t really have a favorite quote. The scripture that screams at me all the times is, Matthew 5:5, “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the Earth.”
Q7. What is your reaction when you hear a kid using bad word around you?
If it’s not my kid, I don’t have much of a reaction. I wonder how the parent feels because I’ve been there. When it’s my kid, I’m shocked and feel bad because I hope they didn’t pick up the word from me or their dad. The point of the book, if you pay attention *wink*, is that we parents can’t fully control what your child hears, sees, and picks up from the world we live in.
Q8. What suggestion do you want to give to parents of little readers regarding a reading habit?
Hmmm…I say find books about something that they have an actual interest in, and their child will read it on their own. Enjoying reading came naturally to me, but not to all my kids. I don’t understand that at all, but I had to accept it. They have other passions that I love.
Q9. What does literary success look like to you?
Literary success to me is producing a book that you are proud of and not only sharing it with the world. Everything that I write has an intention. I wrote The F Word to make people laugh. The next book is to make people remember and understand that they are a part of history. My YA fiction books were written to make people think on a new level. If I can reach people through my literature, people I’ve never met and will probably never meet, to me, that is literary success.
Q10. Lastly, who is your inspiration in life and why?
I have so many…Simply put, I want to be the Beyonce of writing.
