Featured Interview With Sarah Noffke
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I’m the author of a YA sci-fi fantasy series. It was published in November 2014. When I’m not writing then I’m chasing my three-year-old and teaching college classes online. Currently, we live in Central California and spend our free time hiking and exploring the beaches. This is the perfect place for me, not too hot or cold. I grew up in Texas and I’m done with extreme weather…for good.
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I’ve always been writing. As a child, I was obsessed with creating plays and short stories. It was inborn in me. Then as I got older I began writing poetry. Now I’ve found my niche with writing YA. It’s like I’m finally home.
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
Philip Pullman is by far my favorite writer. He writes mostly YA, but it’s hard to classify his genre. I think that’s what I like about him. He can’t be pinned down. Also, his concepts are fresh and unique. And his writing is absolutely flawless. He creates characters I want to know and places I need to see.
Tell us a little about your latest book?
When sixteen-year-old Roya Stark attends a dinner party she hardly expects to be drugged, much less told by the host that she’s a special race of human with incredible abilities. Then she follows his orders, closes her eyes and enters a different world. And meets a leader of secret society who promises that his people can protect her.
This is Roya’s first meeting while dream traveling. Within forty-eight hours Roya is pulled into the mysterious world of the Lucidites with a vengeance. By that time her family has already fallen victim to violent hallucinations and the dark figure has dared to approach closer at night, hovering just outside her window. When told her world is in danger and her fate is connected to greatness, Roya knows she has no choice but to seek refuge in the Lucidite Institute. The only catch is she’ll have to risk drowning to get there…
Roya thought she was just a weird teenager. Turns out she’s an extremely powerful Dream Traveler and her fate is to rid the world of a real nightmare. Captivating and mysterious, Awoken will take readers on an exciting voyage they will not soon forget.
