BOOK TOUR INTERVIEW & GIVEAWAY: Born in Flames by Candace Knoebel

Born in Flames

by Candace Knoebel

Born in Flames Trilogy, Book One

Book Description







1. Tell us a little about yourself.
I am a stay-at-home mom to two little ones-Logan (my six-year-old) and Scarlett (my two-year-old). They make the world go round. J I love music, art, dancing, laughing, good food, scary movies, midnight premiers, lace, Pinterest, Tobuscus, 30 Seconds to Mars…typical normal stuff I suppose. Oh, and I own a pair of Heely’s that I love to roll around in and have a fetish with dying my hair. That’s me in a nutshell.
2. What made you want to become a writer?
Sitting down and writing my first novel. Before that, I had never considered myself a writer. But when the idea struck me for this trilogy, it struck hard and I couldn’t resist writing it. When it was complete, the feeling inside of me was one that I would forever be addicted to.
3. Who or what gives you inspiration?
Music. I always listen to music when I write. It helps me feel a deeper connection to the characters and the scenes I am trying to portray.
4. Tell us about Born in Flames.
Born in Flames is a fast-paced fantasy that will catapult you into a world where you race against time to save the fate of two realms and an impending prophecy promising death. Aurora Megalos is the main character who discovers that she is not only a part of this prophecy, but part dragon as well. It is the beginning chapter of her journey to becoming the Progeny and fulfilling her destiny of defeating an ultimate evil.
5. What’s the hardest part of being a writer?
Finding and equally distributing my time. Right now I have to run off of a set schedule otherwise my whole day is thrown off track. Between two little ones and marketing, it leaves me with only a few hours a day to devote to strictly writing.
Music, water, and my cell phone in case someone calls. I don’t really need or use anything else.
7. What are some of your favorite books?
The Catcher in the Rye, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Harry Potter, Hunger Games, Twilight.
The lise could go on and on. J
8. Are your characters based on anyone you know?
Some of my family and friends would say so. Intentionally, no, but I think that a little piece of every author is inside their characters. It is after all coming from your mind. But if I was going to choose one character that most resembled someone in my life, it would have to be Fenn. He has a lot of my husband’s loving features.
I am working on the final book in the Born in Flames trilogy, From the Embers. I’m hoping to be finished by the end of March, so long as there aren’t any interruptions.
10. Why do you love writing?
I love writing because it allows me to be something more than myself. I am able to push my mind further than I thought capable and follow some incredible characters that are kept close to my heart. I don’t know what I’d do if I hadn’t discovered it.
