Books-n-Kisses is pleased to welcome Lizzy Ford to the blog today. We are going to be talking about Lizzy’s War of Gods Series (Damian’s Oracle (bk1), Damian’s Assassin (bk2) & Damian’s Immortal (bk3))
Lizzy’s bio: Lizzy Ford is the hyper-prolific author of the “Rhyn Trilogy” and “War of Gods” series, launched in 2011, as well as multiple single title young adult fantasy and paranormal romances. Lizzy’s books have reached the bestseller lists on both Amazon US and Amazon UK in multiple categories. She is considered by contemporaries to be the ultimate writing freak of nature for her ability to write a new book every 30-45 days. She is an active member of a small guild of nine passionate, talented writers, the Indie Elective. Lizzy’s books are available from Amazon, BN, iTunes, and elsewhere.
Lizzy: It’s an absolute pleasure to be featured here on Books-n-Kisses!
Q1) Can you tell us a little about yourself?
Lizzy: I’m a freak of nature. No, really, everyone tells me so! I’m officially a full-time writer now, and I write and publish a new book every 30-45 days, with the help of my little team: my editor, Christine; graphics artist, Dafeenah; and of course, my husband and IT-Sherpa, Matt.
Q2) Have you always wanted to be an author?
Lizzy: Yes, I’ve wanted to be an author since I was in grade school, and I wrote my first story about stars.
Q3) Who are some of your favorite writers? Who do you feel has influenced your writing?
Lizzy: My all time favorite writer is Jane Austen. I love how she portrays people. She’s probably the greatest influence on my writing in that, she created flawed characters who are offered the chance of redemption. Some take that opportunity and others don’t. I love that her characters stayed true to themselves.
Q4) Can you tell us what a typical writing day for you is like.
Lizzy: Let’s see. I became unemployed recently, so my new routine is still forming! I normally wake up around 6:30 and go to Pilates a couple days a week. Then, it’s home to my laptop, which I move around the house, depending on where I feel like sitting for the day. Aside from some errands, I spend the days writing, talking to readers, collaborating with other writers, and playing with my dogs!
Let’s Talk Books:
Q5) Can you tell us a little about your book 1 Damian’s Oracle?
Lizzy: Damian’s Oracle details the story of Sofia, who becomes the first Oracle in existence in thousands of years. She goes through the transition from human to Oracle throughout the book. While struggling to learn her new role, she has to also deal with her immortal mate, Damian, the White God, whose job is to fight evil for the fate of humanity.
Damian’s Oracle has been one of my most popular books.
Q6) Can you tell us a little about your book 2 Damian’s Assassin?
Lizzy: Damian’s Assassin details the story of Dusty, who is the White God’s closest friend. Dusty is left alone to deal with some pretty serious issues, to include acceleration in evil’s attempt to wipe out humanity. He is a man who can’t get over losing his sister long ago. Enter Bianca, the first real Healer in thousands of years, who can heal a man’s body and soul.
Q7) Can you tell us a little about your book 3 Damian’s Immortal?
Lizzy: Damian’s Immortal is about Jule, the third of the three good guys in the series, and his mate, the Magician. Jule’s immortal powers are stripped, and he’s told he’ll regain them after he kills the Magician. But, when he meets her, he discovers she’s an innocent caught in a much larger web. He decides to protect her instead, and they end up falling in love while trying to figure out why she’s so important to both Good and Evil.
Q8) What is up next for you?
Lizzy: More books! I write like a maniac, and I’m planning on releasing the first book in a YA trilogy on witches in late December. I’m also working on the final book for the Rhyn Trilogy (due out in March) and the final book in the War of Gods series (due out in May.) I’ve got a few more books planned next year, to include a sequel my readers have demanded to Kiera’s Moon, my most popular single title.
Q9) What is the next book on your To Read Pile that you are dying to jump into?
Lizzy: Julia Crane’s next book, Consumed, in the Keegan Chronicles. It’s not published yet, but I keep harassing her about it. Haha! It should be out in December. I’ve absolutely adored the first two books in this series (Coexist and Conflicted), and my heart is aching for the main male character, Roark. I so want him to come out of this happy!
Q10) Is there anything else you would like to add?
Lizzy: I’m giving a blanket offer to anyone who signs up for my mailing list by 31 December 2011: free ebooks for 2012. I plan on writing 8-10 next year, so it’s a significant offer.
Books-n-Kisses: Lizzy, again thank you so very much for making Books-n-Kisses a stop on your book tour. I have enjoyed learning more about you and your books. I look forward to reading and see what you come up with next.
