What is the working title of your book? Legacy of The Feathered Serpent

Where did the idea for the book come from? Well, this is the second in my Phoenix Child series and my heroine is now traveling the world to save magical beings. I decided to start in Argentina and Peru.

What genre does your book fall under? Young Adult/ Urban Fantasy/ Coming of Age

How long did it take you to write the first draft of your manuscript? About 6 months.

What other books would you compare your story to within your genre? I have no idea, is that bad? When I read other YA books I either think my book is better than this, or mine is as good, or I have no business even writing a grocery list, this book is amazing, this is art, I will never write words again! Anyone out there who’s read my book, who do I write like????

Who or What inspired you to write this book? The strength and intelligence of the kids in the group home I work at. My obsessive love of, other cultures, food, and Cirque Du Soleil. Add in my love of myths and legends and not being able to travel at this time.

What else about your book might pique the reader’s interest? Um let’s see I have diverse characters, and as they travel my characters meet people from all over the world with unique backgrounds, lifestyles, religions, and beliefs. Also there are fun quotes at the beginning of ever chapter.

I found a few brave people willing to let me tag them 🙂 So go check out their blogs and find out what their Next Big Thing is! Fun fact- I know all these people in real life and they are willing to admit they know me! So you know they have to be fun 🙂
