Book Synopsis
It’s been three years, twenty-five
weeks, and five days since Isis Blake fell in love, and if she has it
her way, it’ll stretch into infinity. Since then, she’s punched
Jack Hunter—
her
nemesis-turned-maybe-something-more—in the face, survived a brutal
attack by her mom’s abusive ex thanks to Jack’s heroics, and then
promptly forgotten all about him.
The one bright spot for Isis is Sophia,
the ephemeral girl who shares Isis’s hospital stay as well as a
murky past with Jack. But as Isis’s memories return, she finds it
harder and
harder to resist what she felt for
Jack, and Jack finds it impossible to stay away from the only girl
who’s ever melted the ice around his heart.
As the dark secrets surrounding Sophia
emerge, Isis realizes Jack isn’t who she thought he was. He’s
dangerous. But when Isis starts receiving terrifying emails from an
anonymous source, that danger might be
the only thing protecting her from something far more threatening.
Her past.
Author Interview
Tell us a few things about Forget Me Always.
Forget Me
Always is the second book in my Lovely Vicious series. Fun fact – it was
originally published almost three years ago, now. Time really does fly.
Another fun fact; it took me a single month to write. I was super
proud.
What was your favorite chapter (or part) to write and why?
I
absolutely loved writing the scenes between Isis and Jack, when they
reunited for the first time. Everything they do together and around each
other entertains the crap out of me.
What has been your biggest challenge when writing Forget Me Always?
Writing
is always a big challenge – some days you won’t feel like writing at
all, others the words will flow easily. It’s mastering the ebb of your
work ethic that really helps you make good stories. Writing is only ten
percent how talented you are, and ninety percent how determined you are
to not give up.
What makes the Lovely Vicious novels different from other books out there in the same genre?
Lovely
Vicious is, primarily, a romantic comedy drama. It’s got lots of
laughs, something I think books these days are lacking, especially YA,
which tend to go for heavier romance than humor. Laughing is so, so
important! So I really hope everyone who needs a good dose of laughter
picks the books up and finds it.
Can you share a little of your current work with us?
Sure! I’m working on a dark YA fantasy called BRING ME THEIR HEARTS. Here’s an excerpt;
“You will speak to no one of this.”
“Listen
to that tone. You really are a noble,” I marvel. “Let me guess – a
lord’s son? No, something higher, something so stuffy you have to steal
in the streets just to feel like you’re breathing real air. A duke’s
son, then.”
“You know nothing about me,” The thief snarls.
“I
know exactly one thing about you, for sure.” I cock my head. “I know
this isn’t the first time you’ve given that little girl food you’ve
stolen.”
He leans in. “Clever. But I saw you and your mother in the crowd this morning, watching the prince go off to hunt.”
“My aunt,” I correct.
“A
dozen girls just like you have watched him go, every one of them pining
after his title, or his power, or his gold. Or all three. You’re no
different – he’s an object to you, a symbol.”
“So what? Why do you care?”
“Because you’re going to get shot down, just like the rest of them. He won’t give a single thought about you.”
Any tips for aspiring writers?
Read!
Reading is so important. The more words you absorb, the more you
learned what writing can be, and the greater your pool of mastery
becomes. Some people will tell you to read things you dislike, but I’m a
strong proponent of only reading things you like. If you like something
and feel positively about it, that will definitely show in your
writing.
Thank you so much Sara!!!! :)
