Red Headed Book Lover Blog Interview

RED HEADED BOOK LOVER BLOG


Last week, I introduced you to Aimee Ann and her blog. A book-loving blogger, Aimee Ann enjoys reading and reviewing books that she loves. I was honored to have her share my book Realm Walk and give it 5/5 Stars. However, she didn't stop there. This fellow red-head also shared an interview she had with me on her Author Spotlight the week of the September 7th. 

She was kind enough to include me with other fabulous authors whose books she has read and loved. It is one of the greatest privileges I've ever had, and Aimee Ann is the kindest person in the world! It was an amazing experience, and I can't thank her enough for making me a part of her world. 

Aimee Ann is also a huge advocate for our armed forces, and in particular, our wounded heroes. I support military charities as well and hope you'll check out the four foundations who help others in need that she has posted on her site. It's my hope you'll enjoy checking out the Red Headed Book Lover blog and the books and authors Aimee Ann shares!

If you missed it last week, feel free to check out my blog and the link there for the review she posted on my Sleeping Beauty retelling, Realm Walk: 
Here's an excerpt from her interview with me: 
"Rebecca is a truly exceptional writer and I hope that you lovely readers have a read of Rebecca’s work because you will not regret it! Please see below an interview between me and Rebecca, I hope that you enjoy Rebecca’s answers to my questions, they are incredible and provide some great advice too!"

Q: Could you please tell us readers about your book and what inspired you to write your book?
A: "Realm Walk is my own take on Sleeping Beauty. It’s a retelling that features elves, hybrids, witches, warlocks, Greek gods and goddesses, and mermaids. That might sound like a lot, but you don’t know what Maezy is up against.

Maezy has been taught since birth that her father, the Elf King, would stop at nothing to take her from her mother. Maezy has a gift anyone would love to possess, but her father would use it to dominate the world. Every realm would be his to command, with a little bit of maneuvering and a whole lot of blackmail. However, Maezy doesn’t want to help her father in any way.

Unfortunately, she might not have a choice. He’s found the one person who can slash through her mother’s defenses and wiggle through their magic. To add insult to injury, it’s a hybrid-elf-warlock who’s her age and not bad on the eyes.

Brandalfr has his own reasons for helping the powerful Elf King. If he can just stick it out long enough, he’ll be able to win his reward and be done. Working with this elf, though, is not easy and not what he expected.

Her mother’s plan may thwart both their good intentions, and if they can’t work together to defeat her father and escape, there might not be any hope of staying alive and evading her father’s strategies for war

After all, her mother always taught her to never trust an elf.

I was inspired to write this version after I had written my other fairy tale retellings. Maezy, Brandalfr, and her whole story came to me in an instant. Sometimes, it’s like that. To start though, Anne Elisabeth Stengl and Rooglewood Press had contests for different retellings. I participated in the first couple and gained great feedback from the judges.

This led me to be inspired to continue my writing and revise the ones I’d already written. From there, my twelve-year-old self-decided that I wanted to follow through with my life-long dream of being a writer, and I decided to give self-publishing a try. I researched it, and I hoped to share my stories with others. A few terrifying months later, I pushed publish. I’ve been pleased with my decision ever since."

It's All Going Downhill From Here: Spy School Goes South by Stuart Gibbs

Another one? Yes. I know what you're thinking. Becky, you just wrote about this dude last week. You reviewed his The Last Musketeer book. Did you seriously just read another one of his books? I did. Indeed, I did. Last week, I told you, I can't help but enjoy Stuart Gibb's light-hearted books . His characters and stories are fun and fast reads. They have a little of something for everyone, and for a few minutes, you totally forget that they're about thirteen-year-olds and geared toward that age range. Why? Because the mysteries are engaging. The characters are silly. The plots are clean, and it's nice to read something for fun without being drowned in anything too serious or upsetting. His characters are sweet. The plots are enjoyable and easy to get through. It's peaceful reading at its finest, and family fun for all. You always know the mystery will be solved, the characters will make it out alive, and it takes me back to my own childhood and my love of

My Side of the Mountain by Jean Craighead George

As you may have noticed, I'm a fan of reading a plethora of genres. Throughout this willingness to take on new reading experiences, I find myself drawn to books that others share with me as well. When a friend mentions a book that he or she has loved, especially from their childhood, I find myself wanting to read the book. This is such a case as the one with My Side of the Mountain by Jean Craighead George . When I was told that this book represented a large part of my friend's childhood, I was intrigued. I wondered how this book, read repeatedly throughout the years, could have impacted my new friend. Curiosity led me to pick up my own copy and find out more about this novel starring a young boy who wanted to live off in the country all by himself.   Jean Craighead George passed away in 2012, and up until the end, she did what she loved doing best: writing books. She finished her last novel about four days before she died. That book, The Cougar of Flat Creek , as we
