Featured Interview With Alicia Villasenor
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I live in Southern California with my husband, two kids, and two dogs. I love to read and write, of course. I love gardening and growing my own vegetables.
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
Probably when I was a teen, after diving into Greek mythology. I loved Homer and Ann Rice so I'd say they were my early inspirations. I wrote my first story in high school, although I never finished it. I wrote it in a notebook because in those days, computers were too expensive for us to afford one.
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
I love reading many different genres including nonfiction but my heart is in fantasy because that is also the genre I write. Favorite authors include Brandon Sanderson, Carrie Ann Noble, Jessica Payne, Kat Kinney, Casie Aufenthie, Kristin Hannah, Erik Larson to name a few. For inspiration, I'd say I get pieces and bits from many authors and their writings.
Tell us a little about your latest book?
Ballerina Jessica Lavigne is envious of Charlotte for all things Charlotte is, that Jessica is not. Hitting rock bottom is a new low for Jessica who becomes a witness-turned-suspect in a murder case with a sinking dance career. To make matters worse, her hometown is invaded by monsters and her secret crush continues to shun her. That is until a demigod named Nimai walks into her life and makes all her ballet dreams come true. But there’s a deadly connection between the murders, the monsters, and the benevolent demigod.
