Interview: How does the tagline relate to the story?

Normally I don’t like Mondays, but today is drink-green-beer-and-celebrate-the-Irish day! Also, I’ve stopped by Book Swoon for an interview where I discuss book covers, taglines, and what books are on my to-read list.  To sweeten the pot, there is also a giveaway for an eBook of STOLEN SONGBIRD and a lovely review that will hopefully convince you all that you must have my book.

Marc fans, this one is for you!

So, I’ve heard it going around that there are quite a few Marc fans amongst those of you who got your hands on advance copies of STOLEN SONGBIRD. He’s also my favourite character, so when Bewitched Bookworms asked me to be a part of THE BIG LOVE LETTER EVENT, I knew this was my chance to write something for everyone’s favourite troll.

For those of you who haven’t read the novel yet, Marc is Tristan’s best friend and cousin, and he lost the love of his life a couple years prior to when the novel begins. The poor guy is only 19, and he’s suffered a world of hurt already.

So here it is: a love letter from Marc to Pénélope.

Thanks to Danny and Jenny for hosting me today!

Interview: What are your thoughts on reviews?

The Chicken or the Egg: Story or Setting?

Interview: How would you cast Stolen Songbird?

Today’s stop on the tour is over at Morphys’ Books, where I’m asked a question that is often posed to me: What actors/famous people do you picture for your characters? Mainly Cecile, Tristan, Marc and Anaïs?

If you’re curious about my answer, please stop by. And if YOU have thoughts on who you’d cast as my main characters, please leave them in the comment section
