Thinkerbeat Guest Post

Welcome to the Thinkerbeat Anthology Interview Q: What inspired you to start publishing? A: I wrote my first story when I was really young. I used to sit with a typewriter and clunk away at the keys for hours. I’d make a lot of mistakes, but I kept trying. Later, I started sending stories out for publication. I got a lot of rejections, just like everyone does. In college I studied the music business and learned about managing talent. I also played around with the idea of becoming a computer programmer, but my creative side won out and I spent a number of years working in the music business. Down the road, I got an offer to write a children’s book for a publisher. I thought, well, 500 words, how hard can that be? It took me months to finish it. You spend more time describing the illustrations on the page than you do putting words on the page. The staff editor was never happy and we disagreed on a lot of things. But I learned from him. I also kept in mind that if I didn’...

Guest Post from Author Samantha Tonge on Her New Novella

How to Get Hitched in Ten Days is my first novella and the story just flew onto the page. It is a tale of friendship, unrequited love and about turning around the challenges that occasionally strike us all as we go through life. Mikey helps the boyfriend of his best friend and flat mate, Jasmine, turn around a disastrous Valentine’s Day proposal. Early reviews are coming in and I am thrilled that many readers are reacting to Mikey in the way I intended – they all love him and wish he was part of their lives. As one reviewer, Coffeeholic Bookworm says: “ I want some Mikey in my life! Mikey isn’t your typical hero. He’s soft, fluffy, sensitive and yummy. His friendship with Jasmine was admirable. He’s a keeper ” Do you have a best friend? Someone you can turn to in your hour of need? I think I created this character because, apart from my lovely husband, I don’t. And sometimes life gets difficult. You don’t necessarily want to burden your fami...

Writing across genres, my journey as Suz Korb

As a writer, I’ve experimented with many genres—some successfully, others as one-off explorations that I ultimately chose not to publish. While I’ve written erotica, historical horror, and contemporary sagas, those stories don’t truly fit with the core of what I love to write. My main body of work, under my pen name Suz Korb , is a blend of Young Adult and Romantic Comedy —two genres that naturally flow from me and bring me the most joy. Why I Love Romantic Comedy Romantic comedy is, without a doubt, the genre that comes most naturally to me. There’s something about crafting a story full of humor, witty dialogue, and characters who find themselves in chaotic yet hilarious situations that feels effortless. Comedy is my favorite element to weave into a novel, and I love creating characters who navigate life in a way that’s both relatable and laugh-out-loud funny. What makes romantic comedy so versatile is that it can blend seamlessly with other genres. There’s contemporary rom-com with...
