Hey guys! Today I have Joanna Mazurkiewicz, the author of The Whispers of The Sprite, here on my blog and she'll be answering some questions.
Hi Joanna! Thank you so much for being here today.
Please introduce yourself to our
readers.
My name is Joanna and I am originally
from Poland. I have been living in the UK for over seven years now. I work as
an employment advisor and in spare time I write books. I live in Cowbridge, a small town in South Wales
near Cardiff with my boyfriend Bruce. I enjoy cycling around Welsh countryside
and read classic and paranormal romance novels.
Would you please tell us a bit
about your book?
My
book is set in the welsh city of Swansea.
It’s about Ania a Russian girl who lives in London but needs to move to
Wales to study. While taking a walk one
evening she was attack and since that day her life changes forever. I try to
transmit a mixture of contemporary society with myths and folklore. I don’t want to give too much away but this
paranormal romance is filled with unexpected twist and turns and romantic
scenes.
How did you become a writer?
I am not
a full time writer as of yet but this is what I am aiming for. I started writing when I was in school I
wrote few children books which weren’t very good. Then I had a huge gap in my
writing career, when I went to
University all my ideas hit me again and I started writing ‘The Whispers of the
Sprite’ I have always wanted to create a fantasy novel.
What inspired your book?
I was
inspired by British folklore and other books, I had the idea in my head for a
while but I never had time to finally put it down on the paper. I knew that I
wanted to write a romance with supernatural creatures so one day I began
writing and I never stopped.
Do you think you are like any of
the characters in the book?
I think
that I am very much like the main character; however she is braver than
me. I kind of shaped her based on my
personal experiences.
Is writing the only thing you do?
I wish it
was! No, I work full time as an Employment Advisor (I help long term jobseekers
get back into work) but in the future I would love to become a full time
writer. Sometimes it’s almost impossible to work full time and write.
What’s the one thing you can’t
live without?
My
laptop.
What’s your favorite genre? Do
you read the same genre you write?
Yes. I
love paranormal romance and fantasy novels. Sometimes I read contemporary
fiction and classics
Do you believe in faeries or
sprites?
Of course
I do. In every legend there is a seed of truth!
What can the readers expect from
the next book in this series?
The next book will be much darker. I will introduce
few new characters and explain the Sprite community in more detail. Ania will
try to help Gabriel but everything and everyone will be against her. Her second year in the University will give
her a lot of headaches. She will try to fix her difficult relationship with
Natasha and will seek answers about her real parents.
Tell
us about your new projects.
I am planning to write another series
after this one but for adults rather than teens. I haven’t got the title yet but I have got
some ideas that are flowing around my head. The next series will be gritty,
quirky and it might include nymphs, so it will definitely be another paranormal
romance. I hope it will appeal to both
women as well as men.
That's great! Thank you so much for stopping by! It was a pleasure having
you here today.
