I have been looking forward to this date for the past two or three weeks!!! It is my pleasure to have my first author interview with the lovely Carlyle Labuschagne!!!! I'm totally doing a happy dance right now!!!!
***
1. What is Broken Destiny about?
About a girl who carries a
prophesy that ties in with an ancient Minoan secret. A girl who has
to get to know her soul to fulfill this prophesy to save her kind by the
only way how - betrayal, death, honor, love, lust, lies, being possessed and
ridiculed. Through it all she will find herself - for that is her Destiny.
2. Describe the characters of
Broken Destiny for us!
OH gosh I could write an entire
book on that! They are all just finding a way to survive and find truth
to existence, they all have their weaknesses and strengths. But most of
all they surprise you all the time. Meet the characters here : http://www.
3. How did the idea of Broken
Destiny come about?
Well it was my way of
understanding and being understood - of sharing a gift. I had written from a
very young age - but until 2009 my time was write to create the world I have
always lived in. For the love of science fiction and for the need to send a
message - don't be crippled by fear - let love give you wings :D
4. Who is the main character of
the book?
Ava is a confused teenager, the
granddaughter of the founder of their kind - The Broken, genetically enhanced humans for reasons explored through out the
series. She is blond, short, and has gray eyes. She's stubborn and
loves too much too quickly. A drama queen.
5. Have you been working on the
book long?
yes since November 2009 - long I
know !
6. How long have you been writing?
Since the age of 12 - poems, and
song writing - I will one day go back to write songs - right now Florence and
the Machine have written all I have ever wanted to express! My first attempt at
a novel I was fourteen, but loved my friends more at the time.
7. Who is your favorite author and
why?
Thats pretty unfair - how does one
choose when we have a universe of talented authors. I do enjoy Cassandra Clare,
her writing is like water to my parched soul. Veronica Roth is pretty amazing
to. Anna Carey , Rae Hachton , Kristin Cashore, Suzanne Young, Raine Thomas,
Becca Fitzpatrick, RaShelle Workman, Elizabeth Miles. How long do
we have ?
8. What or who inspires you to
write?
My imagination! ha! Music, life,
other books, any story has something to teach me.
9. I like to listen to music while
I write, what do you like to do while writing?
Music is breathing to me. Music
flares up those lost feelings, and words.
10. What kind of music do you
listen to?
I love rock music! You can
find my muses here under playlist: http://www.
11. If you could have any five
authors, dead or alive, over for dinner who would you choose?
Right now - Brynn Myers, Tish
Thawer, Rae Hachton, Veronica Roth, Mary Lindsey - I'd like a dinner party of
say 12 authors?
Leigh Fallon, Raine Thomas,
Chelsea fine, Blaire Kensley, Angeline Kace, Tiffany King, Eri Nelson
12. What advice would you give a
first time author like me?
Patience! Write, rewrite,
rewrite, rewrite, hire an editor - hell two, get a proofreader, never doubt
yourself, feel your way into the pages. Never fear, always love.
