Welcome Alexia, many thanks for taking the
time to answer my questions on behalf of the amazing readers out there.
So on to the questions.
1. As most of my readers know you
have released Ever Shade out into the
world, how does it feel?
It feels amazing, It’s
finally happened and I couldn’t be more excited. It really is my dream coming
alive.
2. From the Ever Shade which is
your favourite character ? and why?
I’d have to say I really
liked Soap (Rylan), he’s witty, funny, and just that much mysterious that just
intrigues me.
3. Is there a favourite genre of
books that you love to read and write?
I love to read Urban
Fantasy/paranormal genres, Dystopian too. I also like to read these genres
because it is my favourite. It’s definitely a hot genre and there are so many
to choose from but the ones that stand out, really stand out.
4. If you could send a letter of
advice to your younger self what would it say? And why?
Don’t wait, time flies so
fast, in a blink of an eye 10 years have passed. Get writing and do some more travelling!
5.What is your inspiration/muse
while you are writing?
I use a lot of music to
give me the right tone to write certain scenes in my books. Slow melancholy for
sad or emotional scenes, fast beat dubstep/dance music for fight scenes and
scary parts, contemporary and classical instrumental for transitional and free
writing. It helps a lot and I couldn’t write without it.
6. What do you like to do in your
down time?
I read a lot. I Have 4 kids
so down time is not really accessible right now but a book is great, no
commercials, I can bookmark it often and come straight back to it. My kids
don’t seem to mind Mommy’s nose stuck in a book. Interruptions are frequent but
books wait patiently for my return.
So just because I’m a little mad here’s
some random questions for you to answer
7. What is your favourite fruit ?
and why ?
My favourite fruit has got
to be Mangos, they are so sweet and divine. Messy though.
8. If I looked in your fridge now
what would I find ?
Milk, leftovers from
eating out, juice, cheese, bacon, sandwich stuff and yogurt. Though from the
looks of it, there are lots of other things, hmmm.
9. What 1 thing would you take if
you were stranded on a desert island?
I hope I would have a
endless supply of chapstick. I lick my lips constantly and they burn without
chapstick. I have to keep one on hand at all times. I actually get anxiety
without one available; my lips tend to burn like fire
without it.
10. What songs do you sing in the
shower?
I love to sing, I sing all
sorts of tunes in the shower, lately it’s been a lot of Adele, Katie Perry,
Lisa Hannigan, Evanescence. I do tend to sing more in the car than the shower.
11. Chocolate or Vanilla ?
Chocolate all the way.
12.What does Green smell like?
Fresh cut grass in the
morning freshly watered.
13. What one thing could you not
live without ?
Besides the chapstick?
LOL, right now, it’s caffeine, I down coke soda a wee bit too much.
14. Why’s a Raven like a writing
desk ?
It stares and taunts at
you.
15. One final question what are you
working on now?
I am currently working on
releasing my second novel to be published called: Reign of Blood in April. I
have the second novel of my Dark Faerie Tale series: Ever Fire completed and
awaiting publishing in October 2012. Reign of Blood is a bit more in the
Horror/Post-apocalyptic genre and has been challenging to write. After that, I
plan to work on the third book of the Faerie series: Ever Winter, which will
release in 2013.
I think that concludes my
questions for today many thanks for doing the interview.
