First of all, I'm going to say upfront that I loved this book!!! It was amazing and if you haven't read it you need to. So go out and get it right now. No, wait, not right now. Read the interview with Chris first then go out and read it.
Chris and a sweet friend
Q: Where did you get the idea for Eventide?
CAR: Well, I've always loved
the fairy tale, Tam Lin, and a portion of Eventide's plot is very loosely based
on that. Basically, rescuing someone from the faeries.
Q: How
much research did you have to do for it?
CAR: Not
a ton...I did do some research into Native American tales particularly Ojibwe,
and honestly, I'm a giant nerd, so most of the Celtic faery lore, I already
knew.
Q: How
many books are you planning for the series?
CAR: At this point, unless
something goes terribly awry, there will be three.
Q: What
else are you working on?
CAR: Well, I'm working on the
next Iron Falls books and also another YA series. And I'm also working on some
stand alone romances.
Q: You’ve
been writing adult romance so why YA?
CAR: It's
my favorite thing to read, and this story just wouldn't leave me alone.
Q: When
you’re not writing what do you like to do?
CAR: I
like to do ALL THE THINGS! Okay, that's a lie - I love to spend time with my
family and friends, knit, cross stitch, sew, read (of course), work with clay,
spend time by Lakes Michigan and Superior, binge watch Netflix, and one of my
favorite things to do is sleep.
Q: How long have you
been writing?
CAR: It seems like forever, but I was first
published in 2007.
Q: What
made you decide to make writing a career?
CAR: There's the obvious aspect
of loving writing. And there's the less obvious part of being an introvert. I
genuinely like people, I even like being around them - like at conferences or
retreats. But to work with people day in and day out exhausts me
emotionally. I'm just not equipped for that kind of intensity - lol!
Q: If you
weren’t a writer, what would your career be?
CAR: I'd probably go back to
what I was doing before - which is child care. I know that sounds like I'm
contradicting myself, but I really love kids of all ages. Kids have a
completely different energy and there's none of that passive/aggressive
backstabbing bullshit that you get with adults.
I want to thank Christine Allen-Riley for stopping by. Like I've said, if you haven't read her book Eventide you are missing out.
