What can you tell us about your new release, Kittyzen's Arrest?
Kittyzen’s Arrest kicks off a whole new series by me, Addison Moore, and my partner in cozy crime, Bellamy Bloom. We’re so excited to bring readers to the fabulous Country Cottage Inn, set in coastal Maine where sunshine and salty sea air take a backseat to murder.
What or who inspired you to become an author?
Both Bellamy and I are voracious readers. There is just something innate in our blood that drives us to books. We were both raised on a steady diet of reading and have no intention to deny ourselves the pleasure of a good book. At the end of the day, it’s a literary addiction. So we figured what better way to delve deeper into our favorite pastime of reading than to actually write fiction as well. It’s so much fun to play in the story-world we’ve created. Writing is the most fulfilling, enjoyable career we could have ever asked for.
What's on your top 5 list for the best books you've ever read?
So hard! Just five? We’ll give it a try. For sure Sylvia Plath’s the Bell Jar, Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarity, In a Dark Dark Wood, Ruth Ware, and last, but never least, Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn
Say you're the host of a literary talk show. Who would be your first guest? What would you want to ask?
This one is easy! Reese Witherspoon! Oh the fun we would have talking about her amazing book club. We’re huge fans, and we would lose our minds for a chance to talk to Reese about all things book related!
What's your favorite thing about writing?
For sure we can both agree our favorite part about writing a book is creating memorable characters and putting them in dangerous situations we would never want to find ourselves in. Writing an enjoyable storyline is always the goal.
What is a typical day like for you?
Both Bellamy and I get an early start to the day and head straight into writing and revisions. One of us is always either writing or revising. It’s basically lather, rise, repeat—and yet no two days are ever alike! And we love what we do more than anything. We are so very grateful.
What scene in Kittyzen's Arrest was your favorite to write?
This is easy too, and it goes for the both of us. Any scene in the book with a character by the name of Georgie Conner is just pure bliss. Georgie is an elderly gal who has more spunk and hutzpah than most people can muster or stand. She is a riot! And we hope our readers will enjoy her, too.
Do you have a motto, quote or philosophy you live by?
Our favorite quote of all time!
“While they were saying among themselves that it couldn’t be done, it was done.”
—Helen Keller

What can you tell us about your new release, The Yellow Dragon?
The Yellow Dragon is the first book in my new Demon Queller series. Every book in the series will be a standalone, so the books won't have to be read in any specific order. The Yellow Dragon is YA in the sense that it's appropriate for teens to read. At the same time, the heart of the book is about the idea that no one has the right to make decisions for others, even when those decisions are difficult and complex. The Yellow Dragon takes place in my fantasy version of medieval China, and history inspires that fantasy nation. I always do research, and part of my research included reading Chinese fairy tales, which I find terrifying. These fairy tales have a strong influence on the fantasy world I've created. The Yellow Dragon is also a cozy mystery. The main character is Pingzi Po, a little girl who is a demon queller. Because she's the only demon queller in the nation (and, really, in the entire world), part of what this series explores is what demons are and what demon quellers do. This novel is about how she stumbles upon a mystery that endangers an emperor and how she must figure out not only what the threat is but how to stop -- or quell -- that threat.
What or who inspired you to become an author?
I knew I wanted to be an author by the time I was in second grade. Growing up, I was interested in being an author, a dancer, or a pianist. Writing won.
What's on your top 5 list for the best books you've ever read?
In no particular order: The Wasp Factory, The Handmaid's Tale, Fahrenheit 451, Bang the Drum Slowly, and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
Say you're the host of a literary talk show. Who would be your first guest? What would you want to ask?
If I could go back in time, I'd want my first guest to be Jane Austin. I'd ask her to talk about the humanity of her characters, because her heroic characters are some of the most ethical and moral characters I've ever encountered.
What's your favorite thing about writing?
My favorite thing is the actual act of writing. I especially like the beginning phase of developing a book I'm going to write, because anything is possible.
What is a typical day like for you?
I begin my day with yoga, I walk to a local pool, and then I swim for an hour. While I swim, I think about what I'm going to write that day. When I get home, I have breakfast and spend the rest of the morning writing. In the afternoon, I turn to the business side of writing.
What scene in The Yellow Dragon was your favorite to write?
Before writing any novel, I outline it. I compare it to framing a house, because the outline is basic. My favorite scene in The Yellow Dragon was in an early chapter where an unexpected character showed up out of the blue. That character, although a minor one, plays a critical role in the novel and ties a lot of things together. The framework was there to allow it to happen, but I never saw it coming. For me, that's one of the most fun and exciting things about writing: when a character announces his or her presence and insists on being part of the story.
Do you have a motto, quote or philosophy you live by?
I believe in writing what I love. If there's no passion behind my work, I doubt that anyone would enjoy reading it -- including me!

What can you tell us about your new release, The Immortal City?
'The Immortal City' is a murder mystery with lots of magic and ancient history. It follows the story of Penelope Bryne, an archaeologist, who has been ridiculed by the academic community for her quest to find the remnants of Atlantis. Then an ancient and mysterious script is found at a murder site, similar to that on a stone tablet she discovered, she flies to Venice determined to help the police before the killer strikes again. There she gets caught up in the investigation and meets the enigmatic Alexis Donato. He has spent the last three years doing his best to sabotage Penelope’s career so doesn’t learn the truth about Atlantis - that there were seven magicians who survived and who he has a duty to protect. In the end they have to work together to stop the murderer and prevent dark magic from pulling Venice into the sea.
What or who inspired you to become an author?
I really loved fairy tales, mythology and ancient history growing up and devoured everything from Bible stories, to The Hobbit, to Norse Myth. I loved anything with magic or miracles. If I had to pick two authors who really made me want to write I'd have to say J RR Tolkien and Stephen R Lawhead. I found Stephen's books when I was thirteen and he blew my mind (still does) and really pushed me to want to write something myself.
What's on your top 5 list for the best books you've ever read?
Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke
Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman
Merlin by Stephen Lawhead
Djinn City by Saad Z. Hossain
Fire and Hemlock by Diana Wynne Jones
Say you're the host of a literary talk show. Who would be your first guest? What would you want to ask?
Susanna Clarke and 'What does Vinculus's new tattoos mean?'
What's your favorite thing about writing?
I love creating magical demi-mondes that sit behind modern society. It makes the mundane magical, and creating a world that people could believe in the magic happening around them is always fun.
What is a typical day like for you?
At the moment I'm still working a day job so I usually will write on my commute and during lunch breaks, and then when I get home I'll review what I've written that day. It can be a real juggle but I'm not happy unless I've written something every day.
What scene in The Immortal City was your favorite to write?
Oh this question is so hard because there are so many…I really loved writing the first time Penelope goes into Alexis's tower because I could write in all these relics of his life and who wouldn’t love to explore a magicians tower?
Do you have a motto, quote or philosophy you live by?
I was fifteen and it's never steered me wrong – Adapt and Overcome.
