The Tide Breaker by Sonya Watson

12/14/2012

 
On one of the saddest days in American history, I ask you to take a moment to say a prayer for the parents and families of those who lost loved ones in Connecticut today.

Why someone would murder children is beyond me. There is really nothing else I can say.

I haven't read The Tide Breaker by Sonya Watson so I can't say whether or not this is a book that will thrill you. I am part of the Read-to-Review blog tour this weekend and I was asked to host author, Sonya Watson.

Thanks for joining me today, Sonya! I love the cover of your book. What inspired you to write The Tide Breaker?

I was inspired by a break up.

Don’t give away any secrets, but what’s your book about?

Once upon a time, there was a sixteen year-old girl that lost both her parents under unusual circumstances. Abrianna was lonely and found comfort in the arms of her boyfriend, Michael. Life turned grim when she realized that a man, who was once the enforcer of fate, wanted her to die. The disgraced enforcer had taken great steps to ensure Abrianna’s death and planned to do this by enlisting the help of humans and creatures without their knowledge.

Evil had washed over the land the humans named Dainesville. Abrianna had the power to heal the land and when she did she would return prosperity to the lives of the townspeople. When the time came for Abrianna to stand alongside her half-brother, Stephen, to fight the coming evil she did so without hesitation. Life ended. Darkness fell. Love faded. The End?

How did you come up with the title?

My friend came up with the title over a bottle of wine.

Do you have plans for a new book and/or is your book part of a series?

The book is a part of a series and I have a vague idea about the content.

How long does it take you to write a novel?

Four months to write and seven months to edit.

What do you think makes a good story?

When readers care what happens to the characters that is a good indication of a good story.

Do you have a day job?

I am a student.

What is your work schedule like when you're writing?

It is pretty heavy.

Is there anything you find particularly challenging in your writing?

The editing process is challenging. I try to be as critical as possible of my writing.

Do you work from an outline or just write?

I do a bit of both.

How do you market your work? What avenues have you found to work best for your genre?

I am still testing the waters but Blog Tours and Goodreads seem to be working.

What do you like best about writing?

The depth.

Fun Questions:

If you were a car, what kind would you be?

Jetta

White wine or red?

White

Coffee or tea?

Tea

Vanilla or chocolate?

Chocolate

Dogs or cats?

Dogs

Sleep in or get up early?
