Books-n-Kisses is pleased to welcome Morrigan Michele & Misty Carmony to the blog today. We are looking forward to learning a little more about Morrigan & Misty’s new book Betrayed.
Morrigan lives in a small town in the heart of Texas with her husband Robert and their daughter Brianna. She is also an ordained minister and is active in her community. When she is not busy working on a book, she enjoys spending time with friends and family and she loves to shop. Morrigan and her sister Misty also hope to one day open a coffee shop.
Misty Carmony I is 27 years old and lives with her loving husband Charles in a small town in Texas. They have three Pitbulls named Budwieser, Corona, and Munky. She is on the town’s local volunteer fire department, and is currently working on her BS in business management. She enjoys reading, writing, and spending time with her family. She is also a big supporter of PBRC and BADRAP which helps save pitbulls.
Morrigan and Misty are avid readers and self-proclaimed critics. Growing up, they wrote a lot of poetry together. In 2009 they decided since they read so many books, and are so critical they might as well try writing one; and so the Blood and Magick Series was born. We really hope you all enjoy our books as much as we enjoy writing them.
Morrigan/Misty: Hi, thank you for speaking with us today.
Q1) Can you each tell us a little about yourself
Morrigan: My name is Morrigan Michele and I am one of the authors of the Blood and Magick Series.
Misty: My name is Misty Carmony and I am one of the authors of the Blood and Magick Series. I am married to my husband Charles and we live in the country and have three dogs whose names are Budweiser, Corona, and Munky.
Q2) Tell us a typical writing day for you
Morrigan: On a writing day I shut out everything and everyone except for Misty and my husband Robert. I shut off the phone and TV. and turn on my special list of music. I light scented oils and candles and grab my must haves which consist of Pepsi with lots of ice and an extra cup of ice. I write for several hours and discuss things with Misty.
Misty: I sit down with a pen and paper and outline where I want the plot of the book to go and we discuss what we think of each other’s ideas once we think we have it figured out we type it up. I do agree Pepsi is a must have or a Pepsi and a frappe.
Q3) What are the challenges you face co-writing a book?
Morrigan: The only real challenge we have, in my opinion, is a lack of communication due to our busy schedules.
Misty: I agree I have a very busy schedule with working a full time job, being on the volunteer fire department, going to school for my BS in Business Management, writing a book, planning other books to write, and having a home life with my husband it is very hard to manage my time.
Q4) Have you always wanted to be an author or what made you become an author?
Morrigan: I have always thought about it but it wasn’t until 3 years ago that I started seriously considering it.
Misty: No I just loved reading and writing poetry, but happened to come up with a brilliant idea and decided to give it a shot I called my sister and pitched my idea to her and here is Betrayed the first installment in the Blood and Magick Series.
Q4) Tell us a little about your book Betrayed
Misty: It is a story I believe everyone can relate to: a girl in her high school years who lives in the Bible belt and is outcast due to being different from the majority of her peers. Her mother is on the road due to her job and her dad really isn’t in the picture. With her 17th birthday approaching and weird things happening all around her and no one around who can answer her questions, fake friends, and a new and interesting guy who catches her attention the book is filled with action and will leave you wanting more.
Q5) How did you come up with the idea for this story?
Morrigan: Misty called me one day and suggested we try writing a book together. We then discussed the story line and characters and started writing immediately.
Q6) What is your current work in progress?
Morrigan: Immortal Lineage-Blood and Magick book 2
Q7) Who are some of your favorite authors?
Morrigan: Christine Feehan, Richelle Mead, Amanda Ashley, Anne Rice, Alyson Noel and Rachel Caine
Misty: Pretty much the same as my sister seems how we share each other’s books but I would have to add Dan Brown and Jane Austen to the list
Q8) I love to know what authors are reading. So what have you recently read that you loved of what is an upcoming release that you can’t wait to get your hands on?
Morrigan: I recently read Joann Buchanan’s Soulless Light and Charlotte Blackwell’s Embrace Series
