There’s a broad range of authors to cite in general, but for this book specifically (Clementia’s Curfew) the first influence which springs to mind is Richard Matheson’sI Am Legend.Secondly, although this next book is of a different genre, and deals with very differentsubject matter, Tom Rob Smith’s Child 44 was a slight influence on certain aspects ofmy book.There are also various other influences from a range of storytelling mediums, suchas cinema and graphic novels, which were significantly inspirational for this book.

The title is based on the name of the city where the book’s plot is centralised:Clementia City.

I love reading poetry books. Recently I got my hands on Sophie Jupillat Posey’s “Offerings to Selene”. It’s a short poetry book with beautiful illustrations. This anthology has 18 poems.
Smoke in the Water, Still the Night, Cotton Candy, etc are some of my favorite poems from the book.
The splendid hammerhead cloud roiled into formation, Looming majestically, muscling its way into the fearful expanse of approaching dusk. It pushed its way up, up, head ballooning to fearsome proportions. Egotistical ideas of grandeur gave it strength, Wanting to be the Supreme Mother of it all.
The cover photo of the book is lovely and the title is suitable. Sophie has used lucid language in this book. Even if you are a non-poetic reader, you would be able to understand the meaning behind these words. I enjoyed these poems with a cup of coffee while sitting on the front porch.

Nowadays, most of us are obsessed with social media. We waste our time in liking other people’s posts and expect them to do the same. When those likes don’t come, we start worrying.
In this journal “You Don’t Need the Likes”, the author is inspiring us to do activities off social media. The purpose of this journal is to remind us to live in the moment instead of chasing likes by others.
Some examples of the activities included in this journal are: to eat sweet breakfast, to go thrift shopping, etc. After completing the activity, we can write down our feelings in the space given in the journal.
It’s a creative journal that I like to recommend not just to kids but to adults as well. This journal will give many activities ideas to parents and kids. It inspired me to take the challenge of not posting any pictures for at least a month. Parents should buy this journal for their little ones.
Q1. Hello, can you please introduce yourself? Readers would love to know more about you.
Hi, I’m Kristen Robinson a young new author. I’ve enjoyed writing for many years and have recently decided to make my writing available to the public.
Q2. What were the key challenges you faced while writing ‘Names’ book?
Names is a very emotionally charged poetry book for me. It’s filled with memories from past romantic and platonic relationships I’ve been in. Although it was easy to get the words out in written format it was challenging to go back to editing and arranging the poems. It was hard facing those raw emotions in my writing again and again.
Q3. What books or authors have most influenced your own writing?
I tend to consume a massive amount of books constantly, and I honestly couldn’t pinpoint any authors or books that have influenced my writing. My writing has evolved right alongside my taste in books.
Q4. What’s your favourite spot to visit in your own country? And what makes it so special to you?
My favorite spot to visit in my country is this beach in North Carolina called Carolina beach. I tend to go during the off-season or right when the busy season is ending. It’s very beautiful and calm. It’s one of the most relaxing places I’ve personally ever been to.
Q5. Is there lots to do before you drive in and start writing a book?
It depends on the book on how much I do before I start writting. With Names the poetry just came to me, I did no preparation and in some ways, I think it shows. With a lot of my writing, I don’t do a lot of prep. I normally determine what I want to convey through my work and a general idea of a plot but after that, I’m just along for the ride. I have no idea how something will turn out until I’m done.
Q6. How long did it take you to write ‘Names’ book?
Names has a few poems that I wrote long before I even thought about putting together a poetry book. Writing and putting together Names probably took me a few months.
Q7. On what all platforms readers can find ‘Names’ book to buy?
Currently, readers can enjoy names on their Kindel or buy a paperback copy on Amazon.
Q8. Tell us about the process of coming up with the book cover and the title ‘Names’?
The cover is actually a photo that I took at Carolina beach on one of my trips. This trip was when I was going through a heart break but in the moment of taking the picture I was at peace. Thats what I hope readers feel when they finish reading Names is that they are at peace, so I knew I wanted to use that picture for the cover. The title came to me shortly after writing Empathy because I realized I wanted to create a book that named different aspects of what I had been feeling.
Q9. When writing a book how do you keep things fresh, for both your readers and also yourself?
I tend to keep things fresh for myself by not getting weighed down by the details and jamming out to some good music. When I write I try to convey as much feeling as possible in my words which I think and hop keeps things fresh for readers.
Q10. Are there any secrets from the book (that aren’t in the blurb), you can share with your readers?
Names was written during a hard time in my life but a necessary time. Each section is written about the way things ended with different people I loved. Honestly I had finished names about two years ago and just recently had the courage to publish it.
