Interview with Debbie Cassidy, Author of The Darkest Stars

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write The Darkest Stars?

A love of sci-fi shows like Firefly and Stargate had me wanting to write my own space adventure.

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?

I’m on audio book mode right now and listening to We Who Will Die by Stacia Stark and loving it! Next on my TBR is… I don’t know. I’ll see what catches my eye.

What scene in your book was your favorite to write?

It’s hard to pick a favourite, but I did enjoy the asteroid belt scene. It had my heart pounding as I wrote it. I felt like I was there!

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

I tend to stand up periodically, walk around, and talk to myself or the cats. They’re very good listeners.

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

Don’t be a dick….Wait, can I say that? *Shrugs* Oh well, too late now 😉

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.
