SOMEWHERE IN TIME by Alyssa Richards Interview & Giveaway


Synopsis:

Addison Montgomery has finally found love with the man of her dreams, Blake Greenwood, and is ready to live another lifetime of happiness with him. But the morning they’re supposed to bring closure to their dark, violent past, all chances of a happily-ever-after turn as dead as the ghosts she sees on a daily basis. 

Now Addie must team up with her greatest enemy, embracing her not-quite-perfect gift of reading art psychically. If she succeeds, she will finally learn the truth behind her father’s and grandfather’s disappearances. If she fails, every chance at love she’s ever hoped for will be destroyed. But one thing is clear: she has to choose between saving Blake or her family, and there’s no way she can ever have both.

Interview

1.  When did you first realize you wanted to be a writer?
I wrote my first story when I was eight, I can still remember the characters and the plot! I remember thinking then that it would be great fun to write, but didn’t take the idea seriously until a couple of years ago.
2.  What is your work schedule like when you're writing?
I have a busy family and a business to tend to, so I only get to write in the margins of my life.
3.  What would you say is your interesting writing quirk?
I like to write standing up! I also like to write while walking on the treadmill.
4.  How do your books get published?
I self-publish my own books. I’ve had interest from publishers, but right now this fits my life.
5.    What was one of the most surprising things you learned in creating your books?
How the characters can take over the story. They have pretty strong ideas about what they will and won’t do!
6.             How many books have you written? Which is your favorite?
I’ve written 2, I have 2 more in progress. I love them all right now, but The Fine Art of Deception series was my first. Those characters definitely live with me day to day.
7.             Do you have any suggestions to help me become a better writer? If so, what are they?
Trust your instincts on what you want to write and how you want to write it. People will tell you you need to write what’s popular, I say write what you love. They’ll also tell you to write faster, faster, I say write at your own pace so you can enjoy it!
8.             Do you hear from your readers much? What kinds of things do they say?
Mostly they want to know when the next book is coming out!
9.             Do you like to create books for adults?
Yes, although my nine year old and I are working together on a book for kids. He’s doing most of the writing on that.
10.             What do you think makes a good story?
Rich characters you believe in and good conflicts.
11.             As a child, what did you want to do when you grew up?
A veterinarian.
