Okay not only is debut author Brodi Ashton's novel EVERNEATH one of my favorite books, she is one of my favorite people. She is gorgeous and made of awesome.
Since I have the hook-up I did this little interview with her to run with my review of EVERNEATH. Enjoy!
MPB: Your twist on a well known Greek myth (Persephone and Hades) is very unique. How did you come up with the idea?
BA: The story came first, before the mythology. I never really sat down and thought to myself, "How about I retell the story of Persephone, but make it totally unique." I'd been developing Nikki's story for a long time before I fully recognized the similarities between her plight and that of Persephone. So it was more a matter of making the myth fit with the story, than making the story fit with the myth.
MPB: If you had to choose, who would you choose to be with Cole or Jack?
BA: I'd be with Jack. But I'd go to Cole's concerts.
MPB: What has been the most important ingredient in your success?
BA: Perseverance. And some luck. But without the perseverance, the luck wouldn't have mattered.
MPB: Is there a writing snack that is indispensable to your writing?
BA: Diet Coke. Hands down, cups full.
MPB: How is book two going/What are you working on now?
BA: I am revising the sequel to Everneath, and I really love where book 2 takes us. If you've read book 1, you probably have a good idea of where book 2 takes us.
