Interview with Cassandra Finnerty, author of Princess of Sky, Earth, Fire and Water

What can you tell us about your new release, Princess of Sky, Earth, Fire and Water?

The story begins on the windswept coast of western Ireland, when a young woman inherits magical powers. To keep these gifts, she must embark on a quest to the mystical East Kingdom, where she meets a warrior prince. During her journey, she battles with herself, men, nature, magic - and ultimately, love.

What or who inspired you to become an author?

My mother inspired a passion for reading. I've always wanted to channel this love into writing stories.

What's on your top 5 list for the best books you've ever read?

The Wizard of OzHarry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, and The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe are all favorites. For children's stories, Guess How Much I Love You is at the top of the list.  I also like Little Women.

Say you’re the host of a literary talk show. Who would be your first guest? What would you want to ask?

I'd love to go back in time and have a conversation with authors like the Bronte sisters, Jane Austin or Beatrix Potter. What was it like for them, living in a different age?

What's your favorite thing about writing?

Creating magical settings - transporting readers to enchanting and mysterious places.

What is a typical day like for you?

I usually start my day before 6:00AM. The house is quiet and it's a great time to write. Once my child is off to school, I spend as much time as possible writing before going to work. I'll try to write something every day -- even if it's a paragraph or two.

What scene in Princess of Sky, Earth, Fire and Water was your favorite to write?

There are two, really. The first was Aisling's encounter with the Fifth Prince on the cliffs, in the dark of night. The second was the confrontation between the prince and his step-mother, Queen Vila, where she tells him she'll do everything in her power to sabotage his happiness.

Do you have a motto, quote or philosophy you live by?

I believe in the 'glass is always half full' philosophy. Believe in yourself. Always have a dream and create a path for achieving it. When you encounter barriers along the way, try and figure out a way around them. Thanks for your interest in the Princess of Nature Series.

Interview with Tracey Jerald, author of Free To Breathe

What can you tell us about your new release, Free To Breathe?

Free to Breathe is a highly charged, emotional standalone. Two people with a past have to overcome not just their history but the shadows of their present to have a chance at love. This is the kind of love that requires endurance, forgiveness, and self-acceptance.

What or who inspired you to become an author?

I have always loved to read. I wrote journals and kept rewriting the endings of stories I didn't like. I would talk about it so much, friends and family said, "You should write your own book." So, I did

What's on your top 5 list for the best books you've ever read?

George Orwell's Animal Farm, Nora Roberts' True Betrayals, The Romanovs by Robert Mackey, The Accidental Tourist by Anne Tyler, and Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House Series.

Say you’re the host of a literary talk show. Who would be your first guest? What would you want to ask?

Hmm, that's tough. I would love to sit down with Aaron Sorkin. Odd right? A screen writer? But he is brilliant at in bringing characters to life no matter what series he has ever written. As for what I would ask him, I would ask what part of character development does he struggle with? How does he get past it?

What's your favorite thing about writing?

Being able to do and see so many things so clearly through someone else's eyes. I can travel, I can fix a problem, I can be a professional baker (though I actually did work in a bakery for a while).

What is a typical day like for you?

I work a full-time job in addition to writing. I'm also a wife and a mother. So, life is crazy for me! I start my day around 7:30 and help get my son off to school. I work from home full time, so I then "head into the office", where I work until around 6. After dinner, I sit down to write. Weekends are either family time or writing time.

What scene in Free To Breathe was your favorite to write?

I can't tell you. It's a complete spoiler. LOL!

Do you have a motto, quote or philosophy you live by?

"You could walk straight through Hell with a smile" from The Script. There has been a lot I've lived through personally. For me, that quote gives me strength that I can handle the burden of more and I will come out triumphant.
