Welcome back to my
interview series An Interview, An Author, and a Magic 8 Ball! I'll be
bringing you a new author and a new giveaway every Monday this year. I
hope you'll stop by to check out these authors and enter to win some
prizes!!!! :D
Please welcome fantasy author C. Greenwood!!! Read the interview, then enter to win a paperback copy of Magic of Thieves, Book 1 in the Legends of Dimmingwood Series!!!
MJ: Tell me about your novel in your own words, not the official synopsis.
CG: Magic of Thieves is the first of my Legends of Dimmingwood series. It's a
story about a girl who's in kind of a tough place. Her family is killed
and she's carrying around a secret that could endanger her life too.
She falls in with some unlikely allies - a band of forest brigands, who
take her in. Some want to protect her, others want to murder her.
Surviving in that environment makes her strong but also gives her a
twisted view of the world. She learns not to rely on anything but her
magic and the power of her bow.
MJ: I absolutely love the premise of this series! What's your next release?
CG: My next release will be Mistress of Masks, book one of the Catalysts of
Chaos series. It takes place in the same world as my Dimmingwood books
but follows different characters in a far away country.
MJ: Love it! If you were trapped on an island, what three books would you want to have with you?
CG: That's a tough choice. I'd prefer to have my Kindle and unlimited
wireless access, so I could download a constant stream of ebooks, but I
guess that would be cheating, wouldn't it? ;P
MJ: Unlimited internet access on a deserted island sounds amazing - but only if there are monkey servants on unicycles. Who is your celebrity crush?
CG: I tend not to crush on real people but on characters. A few of my faves
would be Boromir, Faramir, and Eomer from Lord of the Rings and Thorin
from The Hobbit. I'm also partial to Spock (who isn't?) but that's a
whole 'nother genre.
MJ: It's possible you haven't heard yet. THORIN OAKENSHIELD BELONGS TO ME! As does Boromir. You have the others. I'm a Capt. Kirk girl, so we can double date with you and Spock. lol What's your favorite color?
CG: I'll say royal purple out of life-long loyalty but I've developed a strong preference for turquoise too.
MJ: Regal choices! What's your favorite vacation spot?
CG: I like San Antonio, Texas. The riverwalk there is beautiful, with the
trees and fountains all lit up after dark. You can grab a ride on one of
the water taxis when you want to rest your feet or, if you've got kids
with you, the horse-drawn carriages are always a hit. During the daytime
it's cool to tour the old missions, like the Alamo, or visit the nearby
drive-through zoo.
MJ: San Antonio is on my list of places to visit. It sounds amazing. Do you have any pets?
CG: Only one permanent pet, a much-adored Yorkshire terrier named Sampson.
But wild animals are in and out of our house all the time. We're always
taking in injured bunnies or raising baby birds that've fallen from
their nests. Bullfrogs and grass snakes are also popular in our house.
We're very much animal people.
MJ: Oh, I love this!!!! Now, I need YOU to ask ME a question about
absolutely anything under the sun. It has to be a yes or no question
and will be answered by my all-knowing Magic 8 Ball! The question can be
serious or silly - it’s up to you.
CG: Ah, I've got a question for you. Is the zombie apocalypse coming for real or are the rumors vastly exaggerated?
MJ: Let's see what M8B says....
M8B: As I See It Yes
MJ: Well, it's a good thing I've been working out a lot lately. Time to start running! ;) Thanks so much for stopping by!!!
