Interview with S.G. Boudreaux, Author of Connections in Time: Seadon’s Story

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Connections in Time: Seadon’s Story (Stormwalker Series Book 2)?

This entire series, Stormwalker, Connections in Time, came about as a way to introduce the characters from my first time-travel series. Through the Stormwalker Series, we continue to follow the Brinley family on their time-traveling adventures, through which they meet the main characters before they become the Dragoman and Peregrines in my first-ever series of novels known as the Peregrination Series, a five-novel set. All of my books circle around each other, but each series can be read separately.

If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of Connections in Time: Seadon’s Story (Stormwalker Series Book 2), what would they be?

This question is quite funny since I actually wrote a song in the book. A pirate shanty that tells a tale of woe for disobedient young boys. I had it recorded, and it is available as a free MP3 download by QR code in the back of Seadon’s Story book 2. After purchasing the book, the buyer can create an account on my website to access free material. After verification, access is granted, and the download can be performed.

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

I read many different genres, but I do prefer clean reading books. I have a good imagination and prefer to leave the darker details where my mind can deal with them. Currently, I am reading a series of mystery novels with a hint of lightheartedness and comedic value.

What books are on your TBR pile right now?

The next book in the Aunt Dimity series of Mystery novels by Nancy Atherton, and a few books by some local author friends who are emerging into the writing market. You can find many of their books at our local bookstores near where I live. Check out The Charmed Page indie bookstore in Lake Charles, Louisiana, to find out more.

What scene in your book was your favorite to write?

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

Not really, but my main time to write is when I can’t sleep or wake up so early that I still have plenty of time to write and still have access to a full day for everything else. I will say, though, that I do try to write a 70,000-word rough draft during the month of November for National Novel Writing Month, then spend the whole next year polishing, editing, and revising before the usual late-summer, early-fall launch dates.

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

I’ve never really thought about it, but I suppose I do. The main reason I write clean fantasy and adventure novels is so as not to lead someone astray. As a Christian, I try to live my faith in all aspects of my life, and that also translates over into my novels. Some are overtly Christian, and others are woven with hints of faith throughout, but all are clean and able to be read by anyone who likes clean reading.

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

For me, reading is an escape from the mundanity of life. I hope my readers enjoy a great story, learn to enjoy things when they can, and not take life too seriously. Life is about choices. We all have to make them. Sometimes we do well; other times we make mistakes. But our mistakes help us to grow, to learn, and to choose to be better the next time. My books are full of such things—trials, unexpected journeys, twists, and turns. My hope is that my readers will see that life is fleeting and confusing for all of us. Take it one day at a time, enjoy what you can, make the most of every situation, and know that tomorrow will bring a new day and a new perspective.
