Subversive Blog Tour: Interview with author Rebecca Royce & Giveaway!!
Welcome back to my blog, Rebecca! It is always a pleasure to have you here. I’m super excited to host you during the SUBVERSIVE tour, as I have been anxiously anticipating the release of this book since finishing DRIVEN, the second book in The Warrior series.
Now, Rachel, the protagonist has discovered not only a lot about herself while uncovering all kinds of secrets about the society she lives in. What qualities do you most admire about her and why?
RR: I think she has the ability to press forward during a difficult, sometimes impossible situation. Quit is not in her vocabulary. I think she is smart and she sticks to her guns.
What can you tell us about her relationship with Jason? With Deacon? And with her father?
RR: Jason is her first love. He’s complicated. And Romantic. (And yes I capitalized that on purpose.) He is strong willed and thinks he knows best. He loves her even if he isn’t necessarily good for her.
Deacon is a young guy she once rescued who grew up to be a young man she can’t ignore. He’s opinionated and he frequently thinks things that everyone else disagrees with. He’s more like Rachel than she is comfortable with.
Her father. That’s a sad situation. But sometimes the people in our life who should love, shelter, and protect us…just don’t. It’s not because they’re bad people. They’re simply people and by definition flawed.
What is the most important lesson she learns in SUBVERSIVE?
RR: Don’t believe everything you’re told.
SUBVERSIVE combines both paranormal and science fiction elements. Are these genres you enjoy reading and writing?
RR: Yes to both. I grew up watching science fiction at the dinner table. And I love the paranormal, obviously.
What inspired you to write this series?
RR: I don’t know. Rachel lolled around in my head a long time until she came out to play. I never know where my stories come from.
Now that SUBVERSIVE has released, what are you working on now?
RR: I’m writing an adult series called The Outsiders.
Do you have any more books planned for this series, or involving these characters?
RR: Two more after this!
Yes! When you’re not writing, what do you do to relax?
RR: I watch television, read, play with my kids, go to Broadway shows, or out to eat. I also love to travel.
Thank you for visiting today, Rebecca! I wish you all the best!
RR: Thank you for having me. I love coming here!
Subversive:Rachel Clancy has been through a lot. She’s been sent to fight vampires, lost two boyfriends—one to a vampire and one because of his daddy issues—and now she is trying to lead a secret revolution that could change Genesis, her home, forever. Her confidence is shot, her hands are shaking, and she hasn’t felt a real emotion, except for anger, in a long time.
But Rachel should never be counted out. She sees things others can’t, even if her ideas are considered downright traitorous. There is an important life for Rachel to lead in the world, even if its filed with vampires and werewolves instead of romance and flowers. Rachel has always had to fight, she’s good at it, and the evil that has stalked her hasn’t forgotten her name.

AUTHOR Bio and Links:As a teenager, Rebecca Royce would hide in her room to read her favorite romance novels when she was supposed to be doing her homework. She hopes, these days, that her parents think it was well worth it.
Rebecca is the mother of three adorable boys and is fortunate to be married to her best friend. They live in northern New Jersey and try not to freeze too badly during the winter months.
She’s in love with science fiction, fantasy, and the paranormal and tries to use all of these elements in her writing. She’s been told she’s a little bloodthirsty so she hopes that when you read her work you’ll enjoy the action packed ride that always ends in romance. Rebecca loves to write series because she loves to see characters develop over time and it always makes her happy to see her favorite characters make guest appearances in other books.
In Rebecca Royce’s world anything is possible, anything can happen, and you should suspect that it will.
