Julia Blake - An Author for all Seasons

Image
Julia Blake is underappreciated as an author, a visionary, and a woman. We love Julia so much. We could not include everything in this interview in the magazine, yet we will share it all here. Enjoy: AQ: When we last interviewed you, The Blackwood Family Saga had not been released. Seven years later, you've gifted your readers with a six-book series. How did that come about, and what has been the reception of it? JB: I always intended the Blackwood Family Saga would be a seven-book series. But a side character has demanded their own story and so it will now be an eight-book one. I have so many fans of the series — surprisingly, just as many men as women — that I wanted to do something special and release it as a hardback edition. The issue was the individual books are short so won’t work as hardbacks. The idea then occurred to split the series in half and create two omnibus editions containing four books each. The gorgeous Blackwood Family Saga, Volume One was released in March and...

The Mysterious Becky Wright

Image
At first glace, you might mistaken Becky Wright  for the lovechild of John Astin and Caroyln Jones (actors from The Addams Family). AURi is here to dispel those rumors. However this Sudbury, England native is no stranger to creepy and uncanny.  “I was raised in a house of great imagination, being surrounded by books and storytelling. My mother was always reading, having a novel mid-chapter, with a library in our spare room; it’s now apparent she preferred fictional guests. My father was a great weaver of tales, giving life to characters from his youth and travels, whether true or not I savoured those stories, nurturing my imagination.”  - (excerpt from beckywrightauthor.com) As if lions, tigers, and bears are not interesting enough, the paranormal and the unexplained is what piqued Becky's interest. Perfecting her craft across many mediums of publication, the supernatural and historical fantasy writer eventually relaunched the first part of The Legacy Trilogy: Remem...

Dana Fraedrich - Short and Sweet

Image
"Independent author, dog lover, and self-professed geek." That's nearly her entire bio on her website . Other than the fact she's a Virginia native that currently resides in Tennessee, Dana Fraedrich is a mystery. Yes, everything about her is short and sweet.  It took a little digging, but AURi  managed to find a few facts about this young adult fantasy author to support our "short and sweet" theory. Exhibit A :  In a picture feature on Where the Reader Grows  we noticed a picture of her standing nearly eye-level with Yoda while Darth towered over her. Short . Chandra, the inter view her described Dana as one of the sweetest people she has met on Instagram. Sweet .   Exhibit B : Okay, so there's no Exhibit B because we had to keep it short and sweet. But, we are certain that our theory will prove true.  Dana is no stranger to interviews. So, AURi had to turn up the heat: AR: We noticed that you play with your hair color. Do you imagine y...
