AUTHOR INTERVIEW: Vicki Weavil

10 August 0 Comments
I had the pleasure of being able to interview Vicki Weavil about her series CROWN OF ICE. We talked about the first novel, what it is like to retell fairytales, and what's to come in the rest of the series! First let's see what the book is all about...


CROWN OF ICE
Thyra Winther's seventeen, the Snow Queen, and immortal, but if she can't reassemble a shattered enchanted mirror by her eighteenth birthday she's doomed to spend eternity as a wraith.

Armed with magic granted by a ruthless wizard, Thyra schemes to survive with her mind and body intact. Unencumbered by kindness, she kidnaps local boy Kai Thorsen, whose mathematical skills rival her own. Two logical minds, Thyra calculates, are better than one. With time rapidly melting away she needs all the help she can steal.

A cruel lie ensnares Kai in her plan, but three missing mirror shards and Kai's childhood friend, Gerda, present more formidable obstacles. Thyra's willing to do anything—venture into uncharted lands, outwit sorcerers, or battle enchanted beasts—to reconstruct the mirror, yet her most dangerous adversary lies within her breast. Touched by the warmth of a wolf pup's devotion and the fire of a young man's desire, the thawing of Thyra's frozen heart could be her ultimate undoing.

Round Two: #FAC16

12 July 0 Comments
A while ago (aka two weeks ago), I took part in the Fledgling Authors Chat (and made a post about it). I talked about my top 20 favourites coming out of the chat and it featured amazing ones like Firsts by Laurie E. Flynn and Symptoms of Being a Human by Jeff Garvin. While both these books sound amazing, they aren't in my preferred genre. So when I heard that there was another Fledgling Authors Chat that was going to focus on authors who write in Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Historical Fiction, I got my game face on and signed myself up for that one (by tweeting furiously and trying to read as quickly as possible, but mostly just favouriting a lot of Tweets to go back and read later).

This week, I participated in the #fac16 second chat that specifically featured Science Fiction/Fantasy/Historical debut books and authors on July 12, 2015. If you missed it, I am here to provide you with a full recap as well as my immediate thoughts after. To see a list of the authors that participated, check out Kristen's post
