Featured Interview With Eva Gordon
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
Hi,
I was raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, and currently live in Dallas (hubby transferred there for work).
I write genre bending paranormal/fantasy novels with a strong romantic element. HEA. I love to create stories that combine my passion for mythology, romance, and suspense and werewolf lore. I also write steampunk and Victorian era historical and alternative novels. Hand of Miriam, A Bayla and the Golem Novel, is book one in my gothic romance steampunk adventure. Her Majesty’s Witch, A Bayla and the Golem Novel will be book 2.
Lycan Gladiator is book 1 in my paranormal wolfish romance historical series, The Wolf Maiden Saga. Book 2, Wolf Knight in King Arthur’s Court is with my editor.
I also have two books in the After the Bane series (paranormal romance/zombie apocalypse), Apocalyptic Moon and Book 2, Raven Moon released April 9, 2014.
I have a BS in Zoology and graduate studies in Biology. I have taught high school Biology, Environmental Science and Anatomy/Physiology. When not in my den writing, I enjoy world travel, steampunk conventions, hiking, raptor rehabilitation and wolf sanctuaries.
I also teach online workshops on wolf lore ancient falconry and animal lore. I will be doing Wolf Lore Lecture at the Romance Writers of America 2014 Convention.
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I have been a reader since I learned how to read. Then I fell in love with horses and read just about every horse story from Black Beauty to King of the Wind. Along the way I fell in love with reading fantasy and science fiction. Romance reading came later when I discovered I loved happy endings.
I started writing while teaching high school biology and raising my children. Soon my addiction to writing grew and I decided to quit teaching and follow my passion.
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
Wow. There are so many authors I love both in fiction and non-fiction. I love Diane Gabaldon, Terry Goodkind, Jacqueline Cary, Bernard Cornwell, Michael Crichton and so many more.
My stories are actually inspired by my passion for nature, animal lore and myths. Naturally, paranormal romance became the perfect genre for my musings. I also love fantasy and steampunk, which appeals to my world building love and the addition of Jewish myths into my current novel, Hand of Miriam.
Tell us a little about your latest book?
Hand of Miriam, A Bayla and the Golem novel takes place in a Victorian world of supernatural creatures, magnificent airships, and a secret society. Bayla is a bluestocking adventuress who, threatened by evil seeks protection by awakening the golem.
Here is the blurb:
On an archaeological expedition, Bayla Gideon, is widowed by a supernatural force and branded with the Hand of Miriam or Knowing Eye. Threatened by evil, she awakens the golem; a mythical man of clay, who protected the Jewish community over three centuries ago.
The golem, Gesher, is surprised. Freedom –by a beautiful, enchanting woman. His desire is to return to the celestial spheres and regain his status as an avenging angel. Yet, Bayla challenges his mind, body and soul. Would he risk his return to the heavens for her?
Besides, dealing with the otherkind, mad inventors and an unrelenting matchmaking aunt, Bayla is equally determined to resist her steamy attraction to the striking fallen angel.
Thrust into a malevolent war, which includes facing Jack the Ripper, they must resist the magnetic pull toward each other, while protecting the world from encroaching evil.
