Interview with Debbie Cassidy, Author of Lost and Stolen Gods

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Lost and Stolen Gods?

The characters inspired me. Leela started speaking to me first, and then Araz’s voice joined hers, and after that, it snowballed into a fully fleshed world with an epic story waiting to be told.

What’s your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?

I’m very much a mood reader. Some weeks I’m reading horror, others I’m deep in the pages of a fantasy romance. I love urban fantasy, dystopia, and contemporary novels that can make me cry.

What books are on your TBR pile right now?

Right now, I have Shield of Sparrows loaded on my Kindle, and after that, I plan to read Direbound. The rest of the TBR is vast and varied and waiting to be dipped into.

What scene in your book was your favorite to write?

I don’t have one favourite scene, but I thoroughly enjoyed the scenes with Blue and the banter scenes between Araz and Leela.

Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)

Oh my god, I’m so boring… I have no quirky habits, Argh! Okay, I need to sort this out asap.

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

I always believe that you should treat others with the same respect and kindness that you’d like to be treated with.

If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?

That a glass-half-full view of life changes your whole perspective.
