Author of Feathermore
What brought you to writing Feathermore in the first
place?
As cliché as it may sound, it was a dream. The funny thing
is, Feathermore is nothing like the dream I had. It was molded from it into
what it is today, in order to better fit with the YA demographic. However, the
original dream may be making an appearance in writing in the future.
How different is Jade in book 2 from book 1?
Very! She finally has a better grip on things, even though
she feels like she is still always lost. She is much darker in book 2 and ready
to kick butt and take names. She was a lot of fun to write.
Looking back, is there anything you would add/change in
your book?
As far as the story goes, no, I wouldn’t. Sometimes I feel
like my books are too short (280-292 pages long) but it is all action. I don’t
fluff it up with unneeded descriptions. I find myself skimming through books
that do that, do you? Or am I the only one? I don’t really care the color of
the walls or how there is a crack on the tile from the time she dropped
something, etc. Give me dialogue, give me action.
Would you go with Team Jade, Blake, Avan?
All of the above? I love every single character, even
Lilith. In book 2 there is a slight love triangle and it was hard and painful
for Jade to have to choose one.
What can we look
forward to next from you?
I am writing book 3 in the Trilogy, the last installment.
*sheds a tear* I’d be sad to see it end, but looking forward to new projects in
the near future.
What would say is your favorite part of writing your
books?
Living it. Being there with the characters, feeling what
they are feeling, seeing what they see, it’s a truly magical thing! Besides
that, having the final product in my hand. Seeing my very own paperback is mind
blowing.
Which character was the hardest to write, and which was
the easiest?
Jade was easy for me, I really have her figured out and she
just spoke to me. The hardest was Lilith, the bad guy. I wanted to deliver
someone who was merciless, powerful and just pure evil. I am none of those
things, so it was hard being in her shoes.
How did you feel when you found out Feathermore would get
published?
I actually self-published. As I mentioned before, the best
feeling was getting my first paperback. I had a sense of accomplishment. It was
wonderful.
What do you like to do when you're not writing?
Read! I am a total bookworm. The past few months I was busy
re-writing Fallenmore, so I haven’t read as much as I would have liked to. I am
itching for a new read.
Is there anything else you would like to tell us about
your books?
The Feathermore Trilogy books are fun, easy to get lost in
and filled with romance, drama and kick ass action. If you haven’t read
Feathermore yet, you can download it for only $.99cents on Amazon.
Thank you Serenity for having me over today! Have a
wonderful day.
