Exclusive INSOMNUS Interview

I’ve been lucky to get to know author Stephanie Churchill as I navigated the publishing process with INSOMNUS. She was also kind enough to interview me on her blog. Read it for more information about my writing process and the story behind INSOMNUS: Introducing Molly Fennig.

I previously had the pleasure of reading Stephanie’s fabulous novel, The Scribe’s Daughter. (You can buy it here!)

Here’s the description of The Scribe’s Daughter: Kassia is a thief and a soon-to-be oath breaker. Armed with only a reckless wit and sheer bravado, seventeen-year-old Kassia barely scrapes out a life with her older sister in a back-alley of the market district of the Imperial city of Corium. When a stranger shows up at her market stall, offering her work for which she is utterly unqualified, Kassia cautiously takes him on. Very soon however, she finds herself embroiled in a mystery involving a usurped foreign throne and a vengeful nobleman. Most intriguing of all, she discovers clues to the disappearance of her father three years prior. 

When Kassia is forced to flee her home, suffering extreme hardship, danger and personal trauma along the way, she feels powerless to control what happens around her. Rewarding revelations concerning the mysteries of her family’s past are tempered by the reality of a future she doesn’t want. In the end, Kassia discovers an unyielding inner strength, and that contrary to her prior beliefs, she is not defined by external things — she discovers that she is worthy to be loved.
