Haven't heard of INTO THE BLACK? Check it out!

Title: INTO THE BLACK (Beyond The Red #2)

Author: Ava Jae

Pub. Date: November 14, 2017

Publisher: Sky Pony Press

Pages: 360

Formats: Hardcover, eBook

Find it: Amazon, B&N, TBD, Goodreads

The world ruler is dead, technology foundational to their society destroyed, and Safara is on the brink of collapse. Half-human, half-alien Eros is the rightful heir to the world throne, but before he can return to the capital, he's abducted by a rebel group of humans who call themselves The Remnant--and won't release him until he swears to help them overthrow the very government he's inheriting. With Eros missing, ex-queen Kora is determined to stave off mad grabs for the throne. But as royalty from across the territories flock to the capital, and a new charismatic candidate takes the spotlight, Kora sets off into the desert with a skilled prince-turned-bounty hunter to find Eros before it's too late for both the future king and his kingdom.

Now on to the interview!

Hi Ava! First I want to say welcome back to Two Chicks on Books I’m happy you stopped by for a visit! INTO THE BLACK is going to be absolutely fantastic and I can’t wait to read it!

Is there a title for book 3 yet? How about a cover?

Book 3 doesn’t have a cover yet (though that process will be starting sooooon) but it does have a title: THE RISING GOLD. It also *cough, mumble* has a Goodreads page if you wanna, you know, do that thing… 

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/30965937-the-rising-gold

Were any of the characters in the book inspired by people from your real life?

Uh…nope! Everyone in the trilogy have been purely fictional people without any real-life counterparts.

Who was your favorite character to write? What about your least favorite?

Deimos, who is a new character, was easily my favorite to write. From his very first line of dialogue I knew he was going to be an absolutely delight—and I was right. J I’m not sure I really had a least favorite to write—even the jerks were interesting to work with because they were jerks. Kora has remained the most challenging to write, though, from first book to last.

What is your favorite passage/scene in INTO THE BLACK?

I’m going to be vague about this because spoilers but there’s this one scene where Eros has to do this test, and before he does the actual testing portion he has to take some substances, which, er, put him in a good mood. He makes some really hilarious observations and his inner thoughts were super fun to write throughout that scene—plus the seriousness of the test he’s taking mixed with the ridiculousness of his state of mind was just a total blast to put together.

What kind of research did you have to do for the story?

Off the top of my head, I remember doing research on PTSD, brain injuries and partial blindness.

Who is your ultimate book boyfriend?

Nikolai from the Shadow & Bone trilogy has remained a favorite of mine for years. (And yes, I am very excited he’s getting his own book!)

What inspired you to write YA?

I sort of started writing YA before I knew what YA was—which I had no excuse for because YA was totally a thing at the time. But once I realized YA was actually what I was writing, I began reading more and more of it—and the more I read the more I knew that was what I wanted to write.

Lightning Round Questions

What are you reading right now? Or what do you have on your TBR that you’re dying to read?

I’m in the middle of A Conjuring of Light by V.E. Schwab, which I’ve been reading for months now—but between grad school and everything else I’ve had verrrry little time for pleasure reading. So I’m reading and enjoying that, and I have a mountainous TBR waiting for me, including The Ship Beyond Time, They Both Die at the End, There’s Someone Inside Your House, One Dark Throne, Forest of a Thousand Lanterns, Heart of Iron and seriously so much more.

What Hogwarts House would the Sorting Hat place you in?

Ravenclaw!

Twitter or Facebook?

Twitter, obviously. ;)

Favorite Superhero?

Gambit from X-Men. Also Deadpool from X-Men.

Favorite TV show?

Sense8. Also Vikings. Also Stranger Things.

Sweet or Salty?

Both!

Any Phobias?

Spiders and bees are 100% terrifying 100% of the time.

Song you can’t get enough of right now?

The fully Spanish version of “Despacito.”

Winter Movie you’re most looking forward to?

STAR WARRRRRRRRRRRRS oh god why isn’t it December yet?

Thanks so much Ava for answering my questions! I can’t wait for everyone to read INTO THE BLACK!

Thanks so much for having me! J

Now on to the interview!

Hey Zara!! First I want to say welcome to Two Chicks on Books I’m glad you could stop by for a chat! AIRWOMAN sounds AWESOME and I can’t wait for everyone to read it!

For the readers: can you tell us a little bit about AIRWOMAN and the characters?

Airwoman is about a young woman—Jade Gariq—who dreams of exploring the Dragonverse. All her life, she’s heard stories of far-flung worlds, that she’s never been able to visit. That’s because Jade is stuck working in the family business that she’ll one day inherit—a large, cross-portal trading company.  Her future is set, though it’s a life she doesn’t want.

She dreams of joining the Traveller Force—the elite Taraqans who traverse the Betwixt, filled with terrifying beasts, and who protect and patrol the Dragonverse. Despite having been Travellers themselves once, Jade’s parents refuse to risk their daughter’s life. When Jade’s father dies suddenly, she inherits Gariq Industries, with all its assets and social responsibilities.

It seems her fate has, once again, been decided.

Meanwhile, Axel—her close friend and secret crush—disappears without a trace. Then Jade discovers the circumstances surrounding her father’s death are not what they seem—there are whispers of impossible magic—and her uncle Zorman suspects foul play.

To uncover the mystery behind her father’s murder, Jade must follow the clues to an uncharted world. Beyond the portal, treacherous jungles, surprising betrayals, and a killer bent on tying up loose ends, all stand in the way of the truth. It will take every ounce of Jade’s cunning to solve her father’s death, unless his killer finds her first…

How many books do you have planned for the series?

I plan for the series to be a trilogy. Originally, I had planned for about five books, but I decided to shorten it—partly because when I looked at the series arc, I thought it worked better as a trilogy, and partly because there are other writing ideas that I want to explore too! However, I really like the world of Airwoman and I think it lends itself to other stories, so I’m open to writing more from the perspective of other characters too…Watch this space!

Were any of the characters in the book inspired by people from your real life?

None of my characters are specific people that I know, but some of their personality traits come from people I know. For example, Zorman is a very charismatic character who has the kind of charm that makes everyone in the room believe they’re his best friend. This aspect of Zorman’s character was inspired by a friend of mine who has a similar trait. However, my friend also has many other traits that make her different to Zorman. While I see aspects of people I know in some of the characters—because when authors invent characters they are drawing on their experience with people in real life—but none of my characters are completely based on any one person in particular. They’re unique that way.

Who was your favorite character to write? What about your least favorite?

I also really enjoyed writing Namaje who is a native Premyan woman. The Premyan people use a ‘finger-language’ (like sign language), rather than verbal speech, so when they interact with Taraqans, their language is not at the same level as a native speaker. I found it challenging to convey her meaning and ideas in a way that was not verbal. I couldn’t have her explain things in the way that other characters might do, so I had to be inventive in the way that I had her express complex ideas. I enjoyed that challenge.

I’m not sure any of the characters were really my least favorite. I found some characters harder to write at times, such as Axel. I think I found him a little more difficult because, though he’s front and center in the story, as a reader, we experience him through Jade more than we experience him through his own words and actions. He’s also more of a secretive, quiet type, so it was a challenge to create depth for him.

What is your favorite passage/scene in AIRWOMAN?

I really like Magnus Gariq’s funeral scene (Jade’s father). The way people bury their dead says a lot about their culture and beliefs so I got to bring in a lot of elements of Taraqan society that wouldn’t have had any other place in the book. I really enjoy the world building process and a lot of the elements of world building that I’d done came together in this scene—elements of the Dragon-God religion, social strata, burial rites, the differences between air-based peoples and land-bound peoples. I mostly pantsed (as in, wrote it by the seat of my pants) this scene (though I knew it would be in the story from my outline) and really enjoyed letting my imagination loose. Interestingly, it was also one of the few scenes that I barely touched in revision.

What kind of research did you have to do for the story?

One of the great things about writing fantasy is that I don’t have to do a lot of real world research (which I hate). However, I do have to do a lot of world-building (which I love) and that involves asking myself lots and lots of questions about how the world works, and why. I consider this to be my “research”. I like my worlds to evolve organically. In the real world, usually a species has evolved to deal with their environment in a particular way because it improves their chances of survival. So, when I was developing the world of the Dragonverse, I did a lot of work to make sure that it made sense.

For example, if a species of people had wings, it wouldn’t make sense for them to build their houses on the ground where they could be attacked by land-based predators. They would probably build towns and cities in places where they would be easily accessible by air. So, Ingresston (the capital of Taraqa) was situated at the top of the cliffs, below the sky-based Portal that links Taraqa to the other worlds of the Dragonverse. Another reason I set the Taraqan homes in the clifftops, rather than in treehouses in a forest, for example, was because people roughly the same size as humans would need an immense wingspan to be able to fly. Therefore, a forest would likely be too dense to accommodate many winged people. That’s also why, when Jade goes to Premye (a densely forested jungle), she is forced to walk more than she’s used to, because her wingspan is too large to navigate between the trees.

Who is your ultimate book boyfriend?

Rhysand from A Court of Mist and Fury, by Sarah J Maas—he’s a great example of someone who is comfortable enough with themselves to value an equal partner in the relationship, who respects and values his partner’s decisions, and he’s intelligent and funny with a keen moral compass.

What inspired you to write YA?

When I first started to love reading—really fell in love with it—I was reading YA books. I remember reading voraciously at that time in my life (I’d like to do that now too, but I have less time for it!). Devouring books in days or less, because I was so immersed in the experience.

Also, I think that, at about the age people start to read YA, they are in a place where they can choose to read or choose to do something else. By this I mean that they don’t have parents and teachers breathing down their neck to read a chapter of their reader every night. While I have no hard data for this assertion, from my experience and my observation of others, it seems that in this period of their lives, kids either become people who voluntarily read because they love it, and people who may only pick up a couple more books in the rest of their lives.

Whether you like to read YA fiction or adult fiction, I think the experience of reading fiction (as opposed to reading non-fiction) is important to foster empathy, understanding and imagination. I’m passionate about getting kids reading (and adults). When people tell me that they don’t read much, I feel so sorry for them because I know what they’re missing out on.

So I write because I want to recreate that experience for other readers, and especially those who might be sitting on the fence between loving books and being one of those people who will only pick up a book if they’re forced to. If I can be part of an enjoyable reading experience for someone who might not otherwise read, then that makes me happy!

Lightening Round Questions

What are you reading right now? Or what do you have on your TBR that you’re dying to read?

I’m currently reading an anthology—Myths and Magic—because I’m keen to discover some new authors and I find anthologies a great way to do that. I’ve also got Dragons of Nova (Loom Saga #2) by Elise Kova on my TBR that I’m dying to read.

What Hogwarts House would the Sorting Hat place you in?

Hufflepuff.

Twitter or Facebook?

Facebook

Favorite Superhero?

Wonder Woman—mainly because I really liked the Wonder Woman movie and I thought her backstory was interesting!

Favorite TV show?

At the moment, it’s got to be a tie between Game of Thrones and Outlander.

Sweet or Salty?

Sweet. Mmmm chocolate…

Any Phobias?

That global warming is going to send cocoa and coffee plants extinct and I’ll have to live in a world without chocolate or coffee… eek! Ok, if I’m honest, I’m more immediately frightened of spiders and heights.

Song you can’t get enough of right now?

Feels by Calvin Harris and Supercut by Lorde

2017 Movie you’re most looking forward to?

I hardly ever get to the movies so I barely even know what’s coming out this year! Probably, the next Kingsman movie—the first one was hilarious, so I have high hopes for the next one too.

Thanks so much Zara for answering my questions! I can’t wait for everyone to read AIRWOMAN!

Blog Tour- DAUGHTER 4254 by Leigh Statham An Interview & Giveaway!

Hey everyone! I am thrilled to be hosting a spot on the blog tour for DAUGHTER 4254 by Leigh Statham! I adore Leigh and her books!

I have an interview with Leighto share with you today! And make sure to enter the giveaway below!

Haven't heard of DAUGHTER 4254? Check it out!

Title: DAUGHTER 4254

Author: Leigh Statham

Pub. Date: December 5, 2017

Publisher: Owl Hollow Press

Pages: 286

Formats: Paperback, eBook

Find it: Amazon, iBooks, The Kings English (exclusive signed copies), Goodreads

Daughter4254 used to think life in a community where art, music and names are outlawed would suffocate her creative spirit. Now that she’s rotting in a prison cell, she’s not sure her dying mother made the right choice when she entrusted her with the secrets of rebellion. Prison has given her plenty of time to relive every mistake and lose all hope.

Then she meets Thomas, a fellow inmate, who tells her stories of the mythical mountain colonies where people have names and the arts thrive. Together they plot an escape, knowing if they fail, they will die. Or worse, their consciousness will be taken by the MindWipe, leaving their bodies free for the government to use. When nothing goes as planned, Daughter4254 must choose between using her mother’s secret to better the world she hates, or following Thomas to the quiet life of freedom she has always craved.

Now on to the interview!

Hey Leigh!! First I want to say welcome back to Two Chicks on Books I’m glad you could stop by for a chat! DAUGHTER 4254 was AWESOME and I can’t wait for everyone to read it! 

For the readers: can you tell us a little bit about DAUGHTER 4254 and the characters?

I’m so happy to be back on the blog! Thank you for having me!

Daughter4254 is a creative girl trapped in a world where anything that isn’t necessary for survival is outlawed. There is no art, music, color, or names. Thomas is a boy she meets in prison who came from a hidden mountain colony where all the things she loves are allowed. 

Is this going to be a series?

Yes! There are two other books planned. 

Were any of the characters in the book inspired by people from your real life?

Yes, all of them. Just kidding. But in all honesty, my characters are usually a compilation of people I know or have met. 

Who was your favorite character to write? What about your least favorite?

My favorite character to write was 23, Daughter’s roommate at secondary school. She’s kind of sassy and sarcstic. She knows her way around the system and teaches Daughter a lot. I also loved writing Thomas and Daughter, of course. 

Writing Professor 789 was difficult for me because he’s hard to put a finger on. I knew how I wanted him to behave, but I wanted it to be believable and I was pulling from a couple of different ideas. 

What is your favorite passage/scene in DAUGHTER 4254?

I know it’s not a very compelling scene, but I really loved writing the scene at her mother’s grave. I felt like I could see, hear, smell, and feel everything she was experiencing. I love walking through old cemeteries. I think I would have spent a lot of time in the Field of Yesterday had I lived in that community. 

What kind of research did you have to do for the story?

I made up a huge amount of this book. Some of the few things I researched were the effects of extended solitary confinement, how skin reacts to prolonged exposure to cold temperatures, and of course the art and movies and music that eventually make an appearance. Most of the work I mention I was already familiar with, but some of it I did more digging on, hoping to find some golden nuggets of detail. 

Who is your ultimate book boyfriend?

Severus Snape. For real!! He’s amazing. You don’t come by dedication and love like that every day. 

What inspired you to write YA?

I think the teenage years are the most amazing years to read about and write about. So much happens between ages 12 and 18. There are so many possibilities and most kids still have a fresh energy about them. They still believe they can do anything, be anyone. They don’t understand how fragile they are yet and a lot of them aren’t jaded yet. There’s something truly wonderful about being young and brave and strong and on a quest, and that’s what pretty much every YA book is about - kid conquering. 

Lightening Round Questions

What are you reading right now? Or what do you have on your TBR that you’re dying to read?

Right now I’m reading Silver Girl by Leslie Pietrzyk, an amazing NA book about a girl’s first year in college. I’m also reading the last Lockwood and Co. book, The Empty Grave, by Jonathan Stroud. It’s so good!! I’m so sad that series is over. 

What Hogwarts House would the Sorting Hat place you in?

I actually know for a fact that I’m a Gryflepuff, however, if the hat HAD to choose it would probably put me in Hufflepuff. Too bad I don’t look very good in yellow.

About UNKNOWN (Unknown Trilogy #1):

Amber Tate believes the worst thing she’ll suffer in life is dealing with the unrequited love she feels for her brother’s best friend, Rylen Fite. She also believes war is something unfortunate that happens places far, far away from her rural Nevada town. She’s wrong on both counts.

When an unknown organization meticulously bombs major cities in the United States and across the globe, a trickle-down effect spreads to remaining towns at an alarming speed—everything from food and water sources to technology and communications are compromised. Without leadership, the nation is split between paralysis and panic, but Amber isn’t one to hide or watch helplessly. She’s determined to put her nursing skills to use, despite the danger, even if it means working alongside the man she can never have. In this first installment of NY Times bestselling author, Wendy Higgins’s debut New Adult series, a frighteningly realistic apocalyptic America is brought to life, entwined with searing romantic tension that will leave you eager for more.

About UNREST (Unknown Trilogy #2):

Being on the run in the desert means food and sanctuary are hard to come by, but Amber Tate and her crew are not about to give up. Not after having so many of the things they love brutally ripped from them by an unknown enemy who sent their world into the apocalypse.

Survival takes precedence, but once safe shelter is found, their guards fall and the emotions they’ve been holding in are finally released. Anger, insecurities...lust. In their tight quarters, Amber, Rylen, Tater, and Remy can't escape it. The past must be faced, and passions run even stronger in the darkest of times. In the midst of unrest, their worlds are rocked again when they discover the truth about the war that’s ruined their lives. They thought finding out the enemy's identity would give them the edge; instead it’s revealed terrifying dangers they never thought possible.

About UNDONE (Unknown Trilogy #3, Coming 12/5/17):

Amber Tate never dreamed their heart-wrenching escape from the enemy’s attack would lead them to the most beautiful place she’s ever seen. Like everywhere else in the world, Elmendorf military base in Alaska has been taken over, but it’s time to take it back—all of it—one base, one city at a time. After losing so much, Amber clings to the one precious person she has left, and vows to sacrifice everything to help save the Earth.

Remy Haines is a lover, not a fighter, so when she finds herself in enemy territory, expected to feign allegiance while gathering intel for the rebel cause, she’s never been more out of her element. Tensions only increase when her feelings for Jacob “Tater” Tate won’t go away, and the enemy’s leader takes an interest in her. She’s torn between what her heart wants, and what she knows she should do. As for what her body needs…well, it’s always had a mind of its own.
