Q&A and #Giveaway - The Guild of Assassins: Majat Code #2 by Anna Kashina

Image
The Guild of Assassins Majat Code #2 By: Anna Kashina Q&A with Anna Kashina What was the spark or initial idea that started your book? I believe that stories are out there, and that they actively seek the right person who will write them down, so they are just floating around until it clicks with a particular author--much like finding a love match. I guess this mystical image reflects the fact that stories tend to come naturally to me, I just wake up one day knowing that this is what I am going to write. Some stories come to me in dreams, others from the pool of semi-consciousness that dominates my mind in a pre-waking state, or during daydreaming. The big idea behind the Majat Code series was that of an near-absolute force confined by very tight rules. I have explored this idea earlier in my first novel, “The Ptincess of Dhagabad”, which features a djinn as the main protagonist. “Blades of the Old Empire” deals with a similar theme, but in a more fa...

Cover Reveal & #Giveaway: Cold Burn of Magic by Jennifer Estep

Image
Cold Burn of Magic Black Blade #1 Jennifer Estep Releasing April 28th, 2015 KTeen, imprint of Kensington Publishing THERE BE MONSTERS HERE… It’s not as great as you’d think, living in a tourist town that’s known as “the most magical place in America.” Same boring high school, just twice as many monsters under the bridges and rival Families killing each other for power. I try to keep out of it. I’ve got my mom’s bloodiron sword and my slightly illegal home in the basement of the municipal library. And a couple of Talents I try to keep quiet, including very light fingers and a way with a lock pick. But then some nasty characters bring their Family feud into my friend’s pawn shop, and I have to make a call—get involved, or watch a cute guy die because I didn’t. I guess I made the wrong choice, because now I’m stuck putting everything on the line for Devon Sinclair. My mom was murdered because of the Families, and it looks like I’m going to end up just lik...

Q&A and #Giveaway: Children of Avalon Series by Meredith Bond

Image
AIR: Merlin’s Chalice, Water: Excalibur’s Return & FIRE: Nimuë’s Destiny Children of Avalon Series Books 1-3 By: Meredith Bond Meredith stopped by to answer a few questions about her Children of Avalon Series. What was the spark or initial idea that started your book? First of all, Angelia, thank you so much for having me here today. I really appreciate it! The idea for the Children of Avalon series was to describe the beginning of the world I created in my Regency Fantasy Romance, Magic in the Storm. In that book I created a people I call the Vallen. They're a magical people who are tasked with using their magic to make the world a better place (think Benjamin Franklin, Mozart and Einstein). I wanted to explore how this world began and came up with a prophecy from the great wizard Merlin and a magical chalice in which he left all of his powers when he was entombed into an oak tree by Nimue, the Lady of the Lake. His prophecy states that his desce...

Interview & #Giveaway: Aberrant by Ruth Silver

Image
Please welcome Ruth Silver the author of Aberrant (Book 1 in the Abberant Series) to my blog. What was the spark or initial idea that started Aberrant ? I wanted to write a Dystopian novel. It’s not hard to imagine why, I love reading Dystopian YA fiction. The initial idea is from a series of factors and thoughts that I had – what our world would be like if everyone was given equal status. We know in our current society there are people that are homeless, without jobs or food. Some of these people have touched our lives; they are our friends and neighbors. It wasn’t such a far leap to create a Dystopian world that gives it’s people everything but there had to be a higher cost in doing that, making it a far cry from Utopian. What was your favorite part of writing Aberrant ? Being able to create a world and to research different topics and ideas. My absolute favorite part was writing the ending because the story meshed together and still leaves room for two additional books...
