Tuesday's a good day, right? One step closer to the weekend, anyway. Today I'm hosting an interview with Elise Whyles, author of the Forsaken series. Enjoy!
Please
tell the readers a little about yourself:
Lol, a little about myself? Hmm where do I start?
Well, my name’s Elise Whyles and I love writing outside of the box. I’ve never studied formally to
write, but have spent time in the industry. Currently, I live in British Columbia
How
about your latest release?
Forsaken Heart is the first book in the series The
Forsaken. It features a sexy, alpha vampire virgin who finds himself on the
edge of a war and facing a woman with more than meets the eye.
What
was your primary inspiration for this book?
When I started the series idea I was thinking there
were somethings in this world we don’t know or see. Things we take for granted
– like forgiveness. So, what better way to share those lessons about love,
forgiveness, justice, and acceptance – than to write a series with sexy bad
boys and hot tempered heroines.
Do
you have any muses?
Oh do I? I rely on a lot of things as my muses –
dreams, visions, inspiration from a scene in a movie or book, a word.
Do
you control your characters or do they flog you into shape?
I start off with control but by about page four
they’ve taken the reins as well as a big whip to beat me into submission with. Not always the
easiest thing when you have a character who decides they want to tell their
story – not have you dictate it.
When
you write, is there a special routine you follow?
No. I write
when, where, and however I can. There is one thing I require and that’s my music…it helps me to keep focused.
If
you could be one animal, person, or at a place for a day what/who/where would
it be?
Horse
– because they’re majestic, untamed, beautiful, and have the ability to have an
edge not controlled by others.
Five
random facts about you:
I love to bake
Hate sorting socks
Wanted to learn Spanish
Live near an airport
Love cats
Are
you working on any new releases later this year?
Yes, I am. I’m working on Forsaken Paradise – book
three in the series, with Ciara
Lake
Anything
else you’d like to say?
Thank
you for having me. I love sharing
details of my writing and how it affects me and others.
