You've seen me post on here time and time again about many great author events and signings that I (Flo) am fortunate enough to attend. Let me tell you, a large number of these happened at my favorite bookstore in Miami: Books and Books. Next Monday, October 12th they are bringing us the Fierce Reads Fall 2015 tour and we all are super excited! So for this week, a few of the Books and Books South Florida Bloggers are going to spotlighting the authors on our blogs. (Check out some of other others: Owl Always be Reading, Books & Swoon, Bookcrastinators In Wonderland, Dapper Animals blog, and Once Upon a Twilight.)
Today, we have the opportunity to ask Josephine Angelini a few questions about Firewalker. Without sharing spoilers, I have to say this book left me with some massive feels at the end! Here's Josie:
1.
What were your biggest challenges in writing Fire Walker?
The
beginning! For me, getting the beginning of a book right is so hard.
I’m a plotter, so I always know what my major turning points and
reversals are going to be, and as a result I always rush the start of
the book so I can get to the juicy bits. I always have to go back
and fix my beginnings.
2.
Has Lily changed at all from Trial by Fire to Firewalker?
Enormously.
She’s suffering from PTSD, and who wouldn’t be after what she
went through? I have a hard time believing books that ignore the
messy fall-out of a tortured main character. One of the things that
I wanted to do with this series was to test the validity of the
saying “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.” Lillian
isn’t stronger after what she went through. Is Lily? Let’s find
out.
3.
I've got to ask a fun question. If you could have a super power, what
would it be?
I
used to always say flying because of my first series, Starcrossed,
but now I’m thinking it would be mindspeak.
If you live in the South Florida area, I hope to see you at Books and Books next Monday night at 7 p.m. If you don't live here and still want in, you can totally watch the livestream!
