Featured Interview With Vanessa Finaughty
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I grew up in Cape Town, South Africa, and still live here. We have a German shepherd (my shadow) and a rottweiler (my husband’s baby, but I’m his spare human for when Dad’s not around).
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
Literally as soon as I could read. I was so young that I can’t even remember this, but my mom tells me I used to lock myself in my room and write stories. I can’t remember a time when I didn’t want to write.
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
My Top 3 favourite authors are Dean Koontz, John Connolly and Terry Brookes, and my favourite genres are thriller, horror and fantasy.
I’m lucky in that I’m never short of ideas (just short of time to write them all!), and pretty much any random thing might inspire a story, including dreams, news stories or a random comment someone makes.
Tell us a little about your latest book?
Wizard of Ends, United Army is Book 3 in my Wizard of Ends fantasy adventure series. It’s been a long time coming – I published the first two books in 2014! Where I vanished is a long story, but I’m back now, and here to stay for as long as I can type 🙂
