Oh boy! Do I have a treat for you! Today, I have an interview with the AMAZING Lila Felix, who is not only one of the most amazing people on the planet, but the author of THE SKIN WALKERS, the first book in the Chronicles of the Supernatural Box Set that I am a part of!
I am so excited for to be a part of this, and to share the amazing story that we have all been putting together for you all – and the best part is, the first one releases THIS MONDAY!
I hope you are all getting ready!
Now, without further ado, the amazing LILA FELIX
What would you be doing right now if you were not an author?
If I were not an author, I would still be editing books for indie authors and loving every second of it.5 years ago: what were you doing?
Five years ago, I was working nights at Wal-Mart in their cash office, counting tons of money every night.
Do you have a certain writing ritual?
My writing ritual is to listen to some inspiring music for about a half hour or read some before starting. After that, I try to write whenever I can, sneaking in the time gaps in our schedules.
What has been the toughest criticism given to you as an author?
My toughest criticism has been that my endings aren’t always what the reader expected. I see this as a criticism and a compliment. I don’t really want to write what everyone expects.
Ever fangirled over another author? Who was it?
Absolutely! I’ve totally fan-girled over so many authors. I’m first and foremost a reader after all! It was actually Shelly Crane. I flew to Florida to see her and wigged out hard.
Is there an author you’d like to meet?
I would love to meet Jay Asher. 13 Reasons Why is a book that continues to impact my life every day. It makes me think about who I am and how I treat others in every situation. He’s a brilliant author. I’d probably faint.
Biggest writing pet peeve?
My biggest writing peeve is that horrible little word count box at the bottom of the page. Once I learned to make that sucker go away, I was in heaven.
Do you read other’s reviews of your books?
I read other’s reviews of my books in the first month of their release. After that, I check them every 6 months or so. It can be painful and humbling to see what others think of our books.
That’s it. Did I say I love this girl? Stay tuned for the big release THIS MONDAY! There will be all sorts of awesomeness going on – and skin walkers… those too! It’s coming!
