Featured Interview With Bree Wolf
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
Well, I grew up in a small town. I still live in that small town, and I’m probably never going to get out of it! Hardly a car goes by on the street and the loudest noise I hear is the woodpecker who has just recently taken up residence in the tree outside my bedroom window. So, really, everything is peachy!
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
To tell you the truth, I don’t remember when IT began. But my mother tells me – and I have no reason not to believe her – that even before I knew anything about letters and words and sentences, I used to sit on the couch for hours telling stories to the pictures in my books. I like to think I was destined to be a writer! That sounds so nice!
So basically, I’ve always been a story-teller, but I only started writing about five years ago. I don’t really know why it took me so long, but as you know they say, ‘better late than never’.
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
Honestly, I read (almost) anything (except for horror). Besides the absolute classics of Jane Austen, I have trouble naming authors I like. I love historical fiction, especially about the Civil War era or going west (one of the classics is Gwen Bristo’s Jubilee Trail), but also European stuff like the French revolution. I appreciate romance novels that got a touch of history too, so occasionally I read regency books. And time travel…that reminds me, I loved the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon and The Winter Sea and Mariana by Susanna Kearsley (not really time travel but close enough – awesome books!). Then there is fantasy/ paranormal. Be it vampires or werewolves, elves or dwarfs, if it’s got a good plot, a snarky comment here and there I’ll probably like it. I also love science fiction novels. The idea of what might be waiting around the next planet is too intriguing to pass up. Besides that I decide on a whim which book to pick up and read. It’s not an exact science!
Tell us a little about your latest book?
Well, currently I am working on a regency novel myself (Forgotten & Remembered – The Duke’s Late Wife). After trying my hand at a middle-grade adventure (Fireflies), a suspenseful romance (A Love Trapped in Time) and a paranormal fantasy (How to Live and Die in Crescent Rock), I thought something new was in order. It’s a lot of fun, but I’m not sure I got everything right. Sometimes my characters do sound a bit too modern. I gotta fix that! But that’s what editing is for. Right now, I’m trying to finish my first draft. It probably won’t be ready for release before the end of the year. So, stay tuned!
