Post Views: 122 MRV: Hi, Mandy! Thanks for taking a few minutes to talk with me and the readers at Split Horizons. AC: Thank you so much for the opportunity! I am always thrilled for the chance to chat with fellow authors and connect with readers. MRV: I don’t usually do author interviews, but I understand you’ve had a bit of a special collaboration with this novella. Can you tell us how it happened, and how that feels to you? AC: Yes. This book has been the absolute wildest ride.

It’s a beautiful site.   MRV: I don’t usually do author interviews, but I understand you’ve hit a special milestone. You’ve got your third book in your “Crown Phoenix” series out.

I’m close to the end of the final book in the four-part series, so I’m concentrating on the work ahead. Once that book, the South Sea Bubble, is up, I’ll have a host of other projects that have been tugging at my sleeve for the past year. I think…

Post Views: 177 MRV: Hi, Wenona! Thanks for taking a few minutes to talk with me and the readers at Split Horizons. WH: Thanks for asking me to chat with you. MRV: I don’t usually do author interviews, but I understand you’ve hit a special milestone. You’ve hit one year as a published author. Can you tell us how that feels to you? WH: It feels fantastic. A year ago I would have never dreamed that I would be on the verge of publishing my 3rd book right now. I was just happy then to say I’d finished one project. MRV: My personal experience is that getting published really does fall under the heading of “Strange Adventures” … can you tell us a bit about your first project…
