Hacienda Moon By Kasonndra Leigh - Advanced Cover Release

Hacienda Moon
A Pathseekers Novel

Love, obsession, and betrayal, the most powerful human emotions, are spun together in this gothic novel. Tandie Harrison is a police medium who has just suffered a divorce after losing both her psychic visions and her daughter in a car accident. When she leaves New York City to start a new life near her hometown, she moves into the alluring plantation house, Chelby Rose, and falls for its enigmatic caretaker, Eric Fontalvo. Their burgeoning affair ignites a century old curse, ensnaring them in a web of danger, deceit, and intrigue. Soon Tandie learns that in placid Bolivia, the worlds of the living and the dead are dangerously connected.

Hacienda Moon is a seductive tale of one woman’s journey to confront the demons of her past and find the courage to face her future. It is a mesmerizing novel that explores the deepest depths of human nature, and the characters will hold and haunt you long after you have read the final chapter.

Praise for When Copper Suns Fall
“The author's style was fluid and there were lovely passages and lines throughout that I simply loved. The pacing flowed so well I felt like I was on a boat ride, grabbing onto the railings at times when the waves got too rocky until I was able to settle back and begin the ride all over again.”
—The Reader Girls Blog spot

Interview with Australian Author Starr West -Tomorrows Child. Dystopian Themes


Starr would like to giveaway to the first 10 people that tweet or facebook this post a copy of her eBook, Tomorrows Child.

Leave your comments below and don't forget your email address otherwise we wont be able to send you your copy. 

Hi Starr, Where were you born and where do you call home? 

I was born in Innisfail, North Queensland. Apparently, it was the hottest wettest summer on record. Six weeks later, my mum and I were rescued in a boat from an old Queenslander as the water lapped the top of the 21st step. We picked up my dad swimming down the road. The next hottest summer on record occurred 25 years later, when my first son was born… Mum said this was karma!

Tell us about something that has just happened or is about to happen in your life that you would like to share.

The most exciting thing in my life now, is the release of Tomorrows Child. I actually wrote the first draft two years ago and couldn’t decide what to do with it. I thought it would be far easier to get a publisher than self-publish. I didn’t think I had the ability to self-promote and there is always a little doubt as to whether a story was good enough.

When I eventually got a call from a publisher, I learned that I would still be required to self-promote, and I would have a very limited time to sell the first print run before they ditched me. My book would belong to them and they would lock my story into a contract where I couldn’t even use the characters to write a different story because they would be under contract as well. 
Basically, I panicked and decided to self-publish. And I guess I wasn’t ready to lose control of my baby!

What is the name of your most recent book and if you had to sum it up in 30 or less words, what would you say?
           
Tomorrows Child is filled with earth magic, goddesses and witches and tells the story of a group of people and a 17-year-old girl struggling to survive in a post-apocalyptic world.

If you gave one of your characters an opportunity to speak for themselves, what would they say?
           
I expect that Tomorrows Child has given my characters their voice. It stopped them yelling at me to tell their story. But Phoenix probably has the most to say, it’s just that he isn’t allowed to tell us anything. Yet.

Do you have plans for a new book? Is this book part of a series?
           
Yes. I am working on part two now and expect there will be more. I would love to tell Raven’s story eventually. I also have over 60,000 words that were cut from the beginning of Tomorrows Child that could become a book on its own.

What books have influenced your writing?
           
Like most writers, I have always been a reader and probably consider myself a reader first. I love epic fantasies – Earth’s Children series by Jean Auel (Clan of the Cave Bear etc) and Terry Goodkind’s Sword of Truth series are both amazing.

Is there an Author that you would really like to meet?
           
Jean Auel – so I can tell her that 6 years is way too long to wait for the next book. But seriously, there is so much research and details written into her stories I understand why it takes so long.

Do you prefer eBooks, paperbacks or hardcover?

I love paperbacks. It’s a tactile thing; being able to feel the paper and smell the pages are part of the reading experience. But this might change once I buy myself a Kindle. I just can’t imagine not buying books.
           
Also, you can’t throw a kindle or beat it against the table if the story is frustrating. I did both of these things with New Moon! If it was a kindle… well we know how that would have turned out! 

Patti Says: but you can drop them so now I have to buy a new one!!!

Where do you prefer to buy your books?
           
No preference. I have bought books from markets, garage sales, real bookstores, online bookstores and eBay. I swap, visit libraries, borrow and loan. You name it I have done it… anything to get my hands on a book!

What book would you like to read again?
           
I plan to read the Earth’s Children Series and I will read The Sword of Truth Series again. Both authors have written amazing stories. The first time you read a good story, you tend to rush with the tension etc, by reading it again you can go slower and discover things you missed the first time.
I have read the Twilight Saga quite a few times!

Is there a particular movie that you preferred over the book version?
           
Maybe… Lord of the Rings! I know the books are amazing but they are a big read! I first read them as a teenager and was very confused. The visual effects in the LOTR movies are absolutely amazing.

What book are you currently reading and in what format (eBook/paperback/hardcover)?

I have a few eBooks on the go, but it’s a bit slow on the computer. I just finished your book, Paradox, the Angles are here and loved it. I just love Grace! I am also reading Cecelia Ahern’s ‘Book of Tomorrow’ but it’s a bit slow so far.

Are there any Authors that have grasped your interest recently and why?

I am working my way through a list of Indie Authors. The Emmerson Witches, by Samantha Cross hasn’t been released yet but the first chapter is on Goodreads. I really want to read this!

Who designed the cover of your book?

I designed my own cover. I know it’s not recommended but I had a limited budget, so I used the money to pay an editor! I think the cover turned out pretty good considering…


Do you buy a book by the cover?

For sure! I didn’t read ‘The Hunger Games’ for ages because the cover didn’t attract me and the title didn’t sound like something I would be interested in. (Of course the cover and title are perfect but I didn’t give it a chance until this Christmas!) I have also bought books because I liked the cover and the title and then found the book dull and disappointing.

Whatever image you choose, I think it should represent some element of the story.

The back blurb is really important – long descriptions lose me. I usually have about 2 minutes in the book section and need ‘short and sweet’. ‘Beautiful Creatures’ is a wonderful example of this.

Do you have a book trailer?

No, but I would like to make one. The rainforest plays a big role in Tomorrows Child, so I’d love to take a camera out and get some images of places that inspired me.

If I could convince one of my nieces to run through the forest in the rain I could film that - then I would have a great book trailer.

What are your thoughts on book trailers?
           
Sometimes book trailers are really well done, but some are just a waste of precious download. I think they should be short and sweet.

Do you have any advice for other writers?
           
Hardly! But I do look to other writers for advice!

Do you write under a pen name?

I considered this for a long time. When I first started writing, I used a pen name. Then I got over that. Recently, a young guy from a phone company, spent a good 15 minutes telling me what a cool name I had. Most people remember my name and that’s a good thing when you want people to like your books and remember who wrote them.

What date were you born? 
9th February. And according to one of my sons - in about the same year as the dinosaur.


Do you ever write in your PJ’s?

All the time, though I try to get dressed each morning before I start work. (Luckily, I work from home!)


White wine or red?
            Red

Coffee or tea?
            Coffee mostly, but I drink tea at night so I can sleep.

Do you like to cook? Do you have a favourite food?
           
            I like cooking desserts. I make excellent Pavlova. And I am a preserving freak! I love making jam and sauce and storing things in jars!
           

Vanilla or chocolate ice-cream?
            Chocolate if I have it by itself, Vanilla if I have it with other things (like strawberries or mango). But homemade ice-cream is best – no matter what the flavour!

What do you normally eat for breakfast, of do you skip it and get straight to work?
           
I forget to eat when I am writing.

What are 4 things you never leave home without (apart from keys, money and phone)?

I don’t have a mobile phone, I have four boys, so my purse is always empty, and we live in the middle of nowhere, so I never know where my keys are.

I do take water, food if the kids come, my keycard and shoes! Though in the past I have forgotten shoes… whatever that’s about!

Sleep in or get up early?
           
That depends on when I go to bed! I am a hereditary night owl and find early nights a real issue. But I do try.

Laptop or desktop for writing?
Laptop

Your favourite gadget - 
           
I am terrible with gadgets. I can do anything on the computer (almost) but hand me a phone and I struggle to find the right button to press to answer it. So, I don’t have a mobile phone or an iPod but I am planning to get a Kindle! I’ll let you know how that goes.

Where and when do you prefer to do your writing?

Once I start, I have trouble focusing on anything else in my life. I write all day, every day, when I am in the middle of a story! If I am away from my computer I will write on anything. I have written on the backs of receipts, other people’s business cards, in my diary, on envelopes and on serviettes (just to name a few).

Your thoughts on receiving book reviews - the good and the bad – 

This is tricky, because I haven’t received any bad reviews yet! But I cringe when a Author gets a bad review. Recently, I read a bad review for a bestselling indie author and went into meltdown. I wasn’t sure I could cope with this kind of negative feedback and almost didn’t publish because of it. Crazy I know.

I am told that writers shouldn’t take reviews personally. But writing is personal, at times you are baring you soul and then to receive a bad review... I am sure it has to hurt. 

Anyway, I overcome the bad review meltdown and found a new editor and re-edited Tomorrows Child. Even then, it was hard to let go, but there comes a point when you have to let go and place your trust in another person’s advice. 

Good reviews are great! But honesty is a valuable thing and I would prefer that a reader be honest.


If you were deserted on an island, who are 3 famous people you would want with you?
I would probably want Bear Grills! He can set up camp and find a way home. (But he isn’t allowed to cook!) I wouldn’t mind if Alex O’Loughlin was there and someone to sing to me if I got bored. 

Patti says: love Alex - he is my face for Wade (Paradox Series) super hot Aussie guy!

Where is one place in the world that you would really love to visit someday?

I want to visit Stonehenge and stay in a village nearby. I also want to visit Tintagel, where Merlin was supposed to live!


List 3 books you just recently read and would recommend?
           
The Immortal Lifeof Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot – it’s non-fiction but reads like a novel. It’s amazing and is about a medical secret that has influenced modern medicine and probably affected everyone on the planet in one way or another.
                       
Tomorrows Child – just because…

List 3 of your favourite movies?

Movies I can watch over and over include Independence Day, Sweet Home Alabama, and Lord of the Rings, oh and Shrek! But Mists of Avalon is probably my favourite.

An actor or a book character you have a crush on –
           
I am pretty fickle with my fictional crushes! They can change with the turn of a page. Other than Phoenix (from Tomorrows Child), who I would love to meet in person, there is no leading man that has caught my attention for a while.

What is a movie or TV show that you watched just recently and really enjoyed?

I really enjoy Sci-Fi Fantasy but the studios seems to axe them after one series. I loved ‘Game of Thrones and ‘Camelot’. (They axed Camelot) I am on all the lists to get ‘The Seeker back into production. And I am still devastated about ‘Firefly’!
And… when did a series became 10 episodes? That is a total rip-off from a viewer’s point of view. 

Patti Says: LOVE Game OF Thrones book and TV Series - Second season starts 1st April by the way :))  Was also very ARRRRR when both Camelot and Firefly was Axed!!!


If your book were made into a TV series or Movie, what actors would you like to see playing your characters? Feel free to add pics.

I have a few ideas about the actors I would like to see in Tomorrows Child, but I am having trouble finding pics where they look grungy enough to actually be cast in a movie version. 
I think this is a really fun activity, so I might toss this one over to my readers in the future.

I am an author looking for reviews of my historical fantasy novel FROZEN IN TIME.

Here is the blurb:
"Set in Ancient Greece, at the time of Alexander the Great, a time when the
spirit world of gods and goddesses and other immortal beings bleeds into the
world of mortals, Frozen in Time is an engaging story of a love that can
transcend anything. Even death or banishment to otherworldly realms, or the
transformation of the lovers into immortal beings.

After the death of his wife in childbirth, Philip, grief stricken and

suicidal, joins the army of his half brother Alexander, with whom he has a
very uneasy relationship. But the world of immortals has other plans for him
and the vampiric monster, Scylla, plays on his grief by seducing him in the
form of his dead wife. Horrified when he discovers the truth and that he too
is now one of the immortals, it becomes his life’s quest to escape Scylla,
find a way of destroying her forever and also reunite himself with his
beloved wife in one way or another."

Guest Post with Lenore Wolfe - Interview with Author Jayde Scott! The Ancient Legends Series

Jayde Scott is author of the Ancient Legends and A Witch Rising series, as well as The Divorce Club and Born to Spy. 

Hello, Jayde, and thank you for being here! Can you tell us a little bit about yourself? 

Thank you for having me, Lenore. It’s such a pleasure. I’m a born and bred Brit, but I’ve lived all around the world and hence consider myself a bit of a nomad, which reflects a bit in the settings of my novels. As you can probably tell, my stories are all over the place. While I’m best known for creating the Ancient Legends series, which is young adult paranormal romance, I love to dab into unknown waters and try my hand at women’s and teen fiction as well. There are so many fabulous stories to tell that I don’t really want to limit myself to one genre, which is why I prefer to go without a publisher so I can write what I want to write and what my regular readers want to read. 

Can you tell us about your love for writing and how it began? 
As a child, I was fascinated by the scent and feel of my mother’s romance books and couldn’t learn to read and write fast enough so I could finally write down the stories in my head. I started out with poems and short stories, then moved on to full length fiction when I was a teen. I was an enthusiastic, absorbed writer but could never really finish a story until I discovered my true passion—the paranormal. After that, my love for writing became a consuming obsession. 


You have written several books, can you tell us something about them? 

My books couldn’t be more different. Even the ones in the series differ in style and voice, which is very much my intention when I write because I want to provide a diverse reading experience. In some way, all my books reveal something about me, from my hopes and dreams to my own experiences and wishful thinking, which makes them special and personal to me. 


What do you think inspired your Witch Rising series and your characters? 

I’ve always wanted to be a witch, so that wish inspired the story about fourteen-year-old Emily who inherits her grandmother’s legacy and soon finds out spinning magic isn’t as easy as it seems. In fact, she makes one big mistake that opens a portal to the origin of all evil, Black Wood. Now she’s supposed to save the world from the black magic that spreads through Scotland and threatens to destroy the world. 


Can you tell us about the world you have created with your Witch Rising series? 

The Witch Rising series is also grounded in reality, but there’s also a parallel world which borders on high fantasy with its black magic, mortal trolls, deadly nymphs, and a dark kingdom. The fantasy world is entered through an enchanted mirror but inactive portals can be found all across the country. When the heroine, Emily, unknowingly opens the portals, the fantasy and real world merge, leading to the imminent end of the world, which Emily must prevent. 


Can you tell us about the world you have created with your Ancient Legends series?  

The Ancient Legends world is a mixture of reality and fiction where supernatural beings live among us without our noticing. They embrace our technology and try to lead a normal life as much as that’s even possible. They also date mortals and have ancient bonds spun by fate with their mortal soul mates, but every bond brings great danger to the mortal soul mate. 
You recently released your third book of the series, Ancient Legends, can you tell us something about this series? 


Voodoo Kiss, the third book of the Ancient Legends series, is a stand-alone novel that focuses on Sofia, who is a reincarnated voodoo priestess. Sofia’s sister was recently killed. To help her get over her pain, she accompanies her boyfriend to Brazil, where strange things begin to happen. When she’s kidnapped by a bunch of paranormal beings, think vampires and fallen angels, Sofia has to make a difficult decision: trust the sexy demon shape shifter she barely knows whose existence is at risk if he doesn’t get her to do what he wants, which just might involve losing her death, or return to her old life and ignore her true legacy?

You seem to have a great love for the paranormal. Can you tell us what inspired this? 

 I’m mostly inspired by mythology but also by vampire classics, both books and movies. I love the paranormal because it’s so much more exciting than real life. In mythology and our fantasy, everything seems possible, which inspires me to get out of my comfort zone and write about all the things that would scare me to death in real life. 

When do you expect book four will be published in your Ancient Legends series? 
I expect Bewitched to be out by February 2012. 

What about book two of you Witch Rising series? 

Mortal Star, which is Book Two of the Witch Rising series, has entered the editing process. I hope it will be available for purchase Feb. 2012. 

Can you tell us a little bit about you ideas for these? 

My series couldn’t be more different. The Ancient Legends books are aimed at a more mature audience with the focus on love and solving various mysteries as well as a darker side of fantasy involving legends and death. The Witch Rising trilogy is aimed at teens and follows one main character, Emily, and her journey as a teen witch. On her journey, she has to master spells and embrace her legacy while defeating various villains that threaten to take over the world. There is also a bit of love and romance, but the main focus is on the action parts and the high fantasy world building. 

Which do you think came to you first, the character(s), plot idea of these? 

I would say the characters. They’re with me long before I find out who they really are and what their story is. 
Do you have any other books, or series, in the works? 

I have one series in the works and some women’s fiction projects, which shall be released under a pen name some time next year. 


Do you have anything you would like to say to your readers? 

Thank you to all my wonderful readers for the immense support and encouragement. I received so many lovely messages for Christmas and New Year, which filled me with joy, and today I’d like to thank each and every one of you for giving my books a try. 




Do you think any authors have influenced your writing? 

Definitely Anne Rice and JRR Tolkien, but also a few others such as Tracy Chevalier and Holly Black.
