~AUTHOR INTERVIEW with D. G. Driver~

- What gave you the inspiration for the storyline? 

Once upon a time I was an actress in a touring theater production of The Three Musketeers. I had to travel in this cramped van all over California with some of the most awful, selfish, mean-spirited people I've ever met. Only two other actors in the troupe were nice. I originally wrote a short story about a woman suffering through a horrendous carriage ride and based all the characters on those people. It turned out to be more of a scene than a full story. I eventually came up with how she got on that carriage and where she went afterward, and that became the much longer more epic fairy tale "The Hallway of Three Doors".
- Are any of the characters based on real people you know?

All of the characters from the City of Frivolity in the story are based on people who toured with me. I don't know them any longer, and I'm mostly glad of that. I might have made them a little worse than they actually were. None of the actors were ever thrown out of the van or stabbed.

- If you could have any three literary characters over to your place for game night, who would you invite, what would you play, what would you serve, and why? 

Okay, so I am a terrible introvert, and game nights make me super uncomfortable. I think I have to confess that before I go on to answer your question. That said, I think I'd invite Cinderella, Snow White, and Rapunzel over. We'd have a big game of Scavenger Hunt through the neighborhood, just so they could get out, move around, and meet some people. I'd treat them to some pure junk food: pizza, sodas, beer, desserts. They deserve it, poor girls. Then we'd have a big brainstorm about how they could better their living situations before they went home.

- Do you feel that you can ever have too many books?

 No. I have more books than I can read, and I keep getting more. I like a wide variety of books, too, so that doesn't help. There are books I just want to read. There are books people recommend to me. There are books that I can get signed by authors at festivals or the local bookstore. There are books by authors I've met online (and all those authors write so many books). I will never catch up, I know, but I won't be stopped.

BLOG TOUR & AUTHOR INTERVIEW with S.D. Grimm for "Amber Eyes"

About the Book


Amber Eyes
(Children of the Blood Moon, #2)

Destiny can be cruel!

Darkness retreated from the light of the scarlet moon, but has since grown even stronger. The Mistress of Shadows has found a new pawn—one that may be the key to unlocking the door to her underground prison. Now evil threatens to escape its shackles and destroy the land.

In the aftermath of loss and betrayal, Jayden’s fight with the enemy still isn’t over. But while she isn’t sure she can stop the Mistress alone, leaving her friends might be the only way to keep them from being consumed by the darkness.

With lives hanging in the balance—and no time for error—can Jayden make the right choice?




~AUTHOR INTERVIEW with S.D. Grimm~

1) What gave you the inspiration for the storyline?

Younger me always wrote stories with animals as the main characters. And about four days into reading Eye of the World by Robert Jordan, I decided I wanted to write fantasy with people as the main characters. And this story was born.  

2) Are there any hidden themes in the book that you hope readers will discover?

Yes. Love always protects, always hopes, always trusts, and always perseveres. And, the theme that is in all of my books: Help your friends face their darkness and shine.

3) Are any of the characters based on real people you know?

Yes. Jayden is loosely based on my sister. J I don’t think she knows this…

4) Who has influenced you most as a writer?

It changes for different seasons in my writing life so far. In the beginning it was reading the works of Brian Jacques and Robert Jordan. Now it’s a lot of writer friends who teach me things and encourage me.

5) If you could have any three literary characters over to your place for game night, who would you invite, what would you play, what would you serve, and why?

Ooo! Nice question. Okay, I would love to play D&D with Newt Scamander, Dustfinger, and Spider-Man. And I would serve tacos because everyone loves tacos.

6) Do you feel that you can ever have too many books?

Yes and no. No because books! Yes because I know I can’t read all of them and I want to. *clutches beautiful books close and cries, wishing I could have more time with all of them*
