Book Description:
Behind the Faerying Mysts, hidden from Mortal eyes, is a land where
Gods, creatures of myth and legend dwell. And in the Mortal Realm, their
Princess lives.
Quinn Sinclair is clueless to who she is. She thinks she's an ordinary
young woman—well, mostly ordinary—living an ordinary life with her less than
loving mother in Conifer, Colorado. On the night of her birthday, Quinn finds
herself betrayed by a man who sends her life spinning out-of-control.
As she struggles to pick up the pieces, a vision of a man with haunting
tourmaline-blue eyes begs her for help, and she finds herself transported into
a Magykal battle forever changing her life.
Arik Morgaine—Demigod bad boy and outcast of the Magykal Realm—tried to
avoid contact with Princess Quinn Sinclair for eighteen years, not wanting to
make good on an old threat. But the fates have other plans. Arik can no longer
deny his growing desire for Quinn, or the need to protect her from those
wanting to control her burgeoning powers. Can the two of them come together and
save the Magykal Realm from being destroyed by the Darkest of Magyks, or will
powers beyond their control destroy them and their world forever?
Interview:
- Where did
you get the idea for the novel?
First I want to say, thank you for having me.
Let's see, I was recovering
from surgery and was bored. I'd
never written for fun before, but with nothing else to do, I sat down and
started writing about an old
memory. Eventually, the memory morphed into a story, and that story evolved into Colour Wielders.
- Your
title. Who came up with it? Did you ever change your title?
I wrote down
several title and narrowed it down from there. I think it may have had a
different title at some point but I can't
remember what it was.
- Which came
first, the title or the novel?
The novel came
first.
- Since
becoming a writer, what’s the most exciting thing to ever happen to you?
I guess signing
the publishing contract. But since then it's connect with the readers of are or
have read Colour Wielders and
enjoyed it.
- What book
are you currently reading or what was the last book you read?
I'm currently
reading The Ivy Lessons by SK Quinn and Claim Me by J Kenner. The last book I finished was Up to Me by M. Leighton. That was
a great book. Her The Bad Boys series rocks.
- What was
your first book that you ever wrote (very first one you wrote, not
published)?
Colour Wielder
is my first ever book. It took me four years to perfect.
- What is
your writing process?
I don't know I
have one exactly, I just write.
- Who are
your favorite authors of all time?
Right now, one
of my favs is Darynda Jones. She writes the Charley Davidson series. What I love about her is her humor, it's
off the wall and so funny. Plus, Reyes is hot! I also love Jim Butcher for many of the same reasons, and JR Ward.
And of course, J.K. Rowling!
- At a book
signing, do you just sign your name or do you write a note? How do you
come up with stuff to say?
Haven't done a
signing yet, but I'll probably come up with some besides just signing my name.
- What is
something people would be surprised to know about you?
I just asked my
friend. She said my age (don't ask, I'm not telling :) ) and that I like to read erotica even though I don't write
it. But it has to be good erotica, not porn without
plot.
- How do you
react to a bad review?
Well, so far, I
haven't had any. The only negative thing was a comment on the cover, but nothwithstanding that, it was a 5 star review.
I know the first downright bad one will probably have my curling into the fetal position, clutching a
bottle of tequila. But the truth is, not everyone
will like your book. That's okay, because I put out the best story I was
capable of.
- How did
you celebrate the sale of your first book?
Went out to
dinner with my husband and had margaritas. Then that weekend, I met some fellow Curiosity Quills authors in Austin and
had a blast.
