Welcome to author and teacher Chariss K Walker!
Multi-award-winning author, Chariss K. Walker, M.Msc., Reiki
Master/Teacher, writes both fiction and nonfiction books with a metaphysical
and spiritual component. Those who search for meaning and the supernatural in
themselves will enjoy her books whether readers of fiction or nonfiction.
Her fiction expresses a visionary/metaphysical message that
illustrates growth in a character's consciousness while utilizing a paranormal
aspect. Her nonfiction books share insight, hope, and inspiration.
Although Chariss writes some dark-fiction books about insanely
dark topics that are not suitable for faint-hearted readers, there is always an
essential question of the abstract nature that gives a reader increased
awareness and perception. She also writes cozy mysteries and inspirational
women's studies fiction.
All of her books are sold worldwide in eBook, paperback, and due
to her own eyesight problems, many are in large print.
What would you say are your strengths as an
author?
My greatest strength as an author is that I use my own voice by
writing about things that I know. I use a lot of personal experiences but I
also research technical information. That blending feels right for me.
How often do you write, and do you write using a
strict routine?
I definitely use a strict routine. I treat my writing like a job
and put in the hours. I set aside a time to write and I set aside a separate
time to promote the books I have written. That part never ends. I have recently
been through an extensive promotional period and now I am headed into the
writing phase of the year. I admit that I prefer to write, but one must also
get the word out about their books and that involves extensive promotional
efforts.
Five years from now, where do you see yourself
as a writer?
In five years I hope to be an Internationally-Best-Selling-Author
with a few more awards under my belt.
If you could offer once piece of advice to a
novice writer, what would it be?
For
new writers, especially Indie Writers, I would advise that they take their time
and not rush the process. Never get in a hurry. Make sure the book is the best
it can be with professional editing and proofreading and that it has a
marvelous book cover before they publish… even if funds are tight and they must
take classes to learn how to design a cover on their own as I did. Because once
the book is out there for sale and listed on various websites, it makes its
first impression and we want that to be a great one. You can never recreate a
first impression so put everything you have into that initial debut.
What would you consider to be the best
compliment a reader could give your book?
I fell in love with the characters and I did not want their story
to end.
What are you working on now?
I have two books that are my current Works-in-Progress. The first
is A
Medium's Wedding (Becky Tibbs: A North Carolina Medium's
Mystery Series, Book 6) which is a cozy ghost mystery. The second is Sondra
(2121, Book 2) which is a post-apocalyptic dystopian fantasy series.

Purple
Kitty (A Serena McKay Crime Novel, Book 1)
Not so
cute and cuddly! Not a cozy mystery! Not like any crime story you have read.
Serena
McKay, P.I., lives in a post-apocalyptic dystopian time where the rich get
richer and the poor are homeless. Existence in August City is nightmarish at
best and disastrously chilling at worst. Serena has suffered from devastating
emotional and physical abuse but she continues to do her job in spite of it.
As a
strong, albeit dysfunctionally-flawed private investigator, Serena uses every
weapon in her arsenal to solve bloodcurdling crimes in this hard-boiled,
dark-fiction, dystopian thriller series while a notorious serial killer is
after her green eyes...
Can
Serena catch The Cellophane Killer who slaughters women with green eyes and
then wraps them up in cellophane like a sandwich for her to find?
Will
she catch him, or will he catch her?
A Medium's Birthday Surprise (Becky Tibbs: A North
Carolina Medium's Mystery Series, Book 1)
She sees ghosts!
Join Becky as she solves many mysteries in this light,
clean, airy, and informative five-book series.
Becky Tibbs didn’t ask for the job or the gift of being
a medium, but after her parents died, the unusual ability became a bequest – a
gift handed down from her mother’s side of the family.
An optimistic and positive young woman, Becky determines
to make the best of a difficult situation in the small town of Asheville, North
Carolina where the smallest detail is noticed and everyone knows everything
about everyone else.
Becky deals with a lot of departed spirits in the Blue
Ridge Mountains. Such a job can get rather hectic at times. Misunderstood
ghosts can create a lot of sticky problems for the living and a community such
as hers.
Used to dealing with ghosts on a daily basis, Becky is
not easily surprised. However, on her 26th birthday, Becky gets the biggest
shock she’s had in the past ten years and it’s a doozy.
