’5 Questions’ Interview With Geoffrey Wakeling! @GWakelingWriter

June 13, 2013 Leave a comment

5 Questions

Today I’m thrilled to welcome author Geoffrey Wakeling to the blog as part of the ’5 Questions’ with authors interview series!

If you are an author who would like to participate in the series, fill out the questionnaire here! And if you are a reader who wants to suggest an author for the series, just send me an email!


Inside Evil by Geoffrey Wakeling

Describe your book Inside Evil in ten words or less

Murder is Inside Evil’s plot, with cats, curses and mirror portals.

Where or how did you come up with the idea for your story?

Inside Evil has been a work in progress for many years, and I simply can’t remember how it started out. There was never that ‘aha’ moment, not like I’ve had for the sequels, but the story practically formulated itself as I was writing it.

Which of your characters (in this book) is closest to your heart and why?

Susan Lingly definitely managed to make an impact with me. Her daughter’s just been murdered by a strange force, but rather than allowing it take over her life, she sets off to find answers. She drinks too much, has some very strange friends, has an acquaintance trying to kill her, but yet she never gives up.

Do you have a day job? If yes, tell us about it and how did that affect your writing / publishing process?

I get bored VERY quickly, so I’ve never been very good at office jobs or anything similar. I have a small and local gardening company and do a lot of garden maintenance in the mornings. Then I head home for lunch, do some copywriting for online clients, before getting down to my own work. It’s a pretty great existence!

Tell us about an upcoming book or project you’re excited about

I’m really excited about my new zombie novel. I never wanted to write anything to do with zombies, and am working on the third Inside Evil book, but NaNoWriMo had me stuck – until this idea popped into my head.

Out of the blue I’m now writing a short zombie novella about what happens after the apocalypse, when scientists discover a ‘cure’ for zombies. It doesn’t turn people back to their former selves, but it does pacify them, and the remaining human population find a new society to live in.

It’s set in London, I’ve allowed my humour to get free reign and I’m loving the writing process so far.

Bonus Question! Fill in the blank: If you like ___, you’ll probably like my book too!

If you like Harry Potter, then you’ll probably like my book too!


Thanks again for stopping by, Geoffrey Wakeling! You can learn more about the author via his website/blog: geoffreywakeling, Facebook: GeoffreyWakeling, and Twitter: @GWakelingWriter.

 Inside Evil is available on Amazon (Kindle).

Bargain Alert! Mistborn: The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson (@BrandSanderson) for $2.99! #Kindle

June 19, 2013 Leave a comment

Mistborn: The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson

‘Mistborn: The Final Empire’ by Brandon Sanderson (Tor Books) is now available at the specially discounted price of $2.99 on the US Kindle site.

Book Description

Brandon Sanderson, fantasy’s newest master tale spinner, author of the acclaimed debut Elantris, dares to turn a genre on its head by asking a simple question: What if the hero of prophecy fails? What kind of world results when the Dark Lord is in charge? The answer will be found in the Mistborn Trilogy, a saga of surprises and magical martial-arts action that begins in Mistborn.

For a thousand years the ash fell and no flowers bloomed. For a thousand years the Skaa slaved in misery and lived in fear. For a thousand years the Lord Ruler, the “Sliver of Infinity,” reigned with absolute power and ultimate terror, divinely invincible. Then, when hope was so long lost that not even its memory remained, a terribly scarred, heart-broken half-Skaa rediscovered it in the depths of the Lord Ruler’s most hellish prison. Kelsier “snapped” and found in himself the powers of a Mistborn. A brilliant thief and natural leader, he turned his talents to the ultimate caper, with the Lord Ruler himself as the mark.

Kelsier recruited the underworld’s elite, the smartest and most trustworthy allomancers, each of whom shares one of his many powers, and all of whom relish a high-stakes challenge. Only then does he reveal his ultimate dream, not just the greatest heist in history, but the downfall of the divine despot.

But even with the best criminal crew ever assembled, Kel’s plan looks more like the ultimate long shot, until luck brings a ragged girl named Vin into his life. Like him, she’s a half-Skaa orphan, but she’s lived a much harsher life. Vin has learned to expect betrayal from everyone she meets, and gotten it. She will have to learn to trust, if Kel is to help her master powers of which she never dreamed.

Readers of Elantris thought they’d discovered someone special in Brandon Sanderson. Mistborn proves they were right.
