Interview - Awaken by B.L. Callaghan #authorinterview #urbanfantasy #fantasy

- What is your “day” job if you are not a full-time author?

I am a full-time Foster Mum!

- If you wrote a book about your life what would the title be?

The Chaotic Mumma Bear!

- What is the hardest thing about being an author?

For me, it’s finding the time to sit and actually write! Self-doubt would be a close second though, for sure!

- What is the best thing about being an author?

Hearing from readers that your hard work was appreciated – that the characters and worlds you’ve created are being enjoyed by someone other than yourself!

- Have you ever been starstruck by meeting one of your favorite authors? If so who was it? 

I haven’t met an author in real life! Sad, I know! But, I’ve been super fortunate enough to have talked with many great and inspiring authors over social media. My dream is to meet L.K. Hamilton or S.J Maas! One can dream!

- What book changed your life?

Oh! That’s a hard one! There are so many books out there that have left their mark on me in one way or another. But to pick just one?! I’d have to say The Fellowship of the Ring – it was my first introduction to epic fantasy, and is the reason that genre is my favorite.

- What were some of your favorite books growing up?

I read so many amazing books! I’d say The Lord of the Rings, The Obernewtyn Chronicles, and Harry Potter?

- What books are currently in your to be read pile?

The list is endless, and continuously evolving! My next reads are The Queen’s Assassin, Seasons of the Storm, and The Coldest Girl in Coldtown.

- Which do you prefer ebooks, print, or audiobooks?

Lately, I’m reading more ebooks than anything – but print books hold a special place in my heart, and are the reason I have no free space in my house!

- If you could live inside the world of a book or series which world would it be and why?

Definitely The Lord of The Rings! I’d want to live in Rivendell with the Elves, and the world is just so magically beautiful!

A hidden world readying for war. A woman destined to tip the balance. But how do you choose a side, when everybody lies?

Sapphira Dawn was told she was the new Goddess Incarnate, the most powerful being on Earth.

At nineteen, she didn’t feel powerful – she felt betrayed and angry.

Suddenly thrust into a world that she knows nothing about, a world where magic and monsters actually exist, Sapphira races to learn all she can about her magic.

And to find her place in this dangerous new world.

Some of the monsters want to use her, the others just want her dead.

But can she gain the knowledge needed to stop an impending war before it spills into the human realm she once called home?
