I'm so pleased to host Rebecca Royce today, as part of her virtual blog tour. I asked her
What did she enjoy most about writing this story and what she found the most difficult, and this is what she said.
I always enjoy writing Rachel Clancy books. She’s my most demanding heroine and, frankly, it’s always a release to get to tell her stories so she’ll quiet down for a while in my head. (Teenagers, right?)
What I found the most difficult about writing this story was how sad she’d become in the beginning. Although she finds her feet (and really finds them!) by the end of the book, the first couple of chapters broke my heart.
I’m hoping that readers will still enjoy to find her interesting and want to take this part of her journey with her so all the pain I went through with Rachel will be worth the struggle.
Subversive: The Warrior Book 3
by Rebecca Royce
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.

Hi Sue, thanks so much for stopping by and commenting! Rebecca is amazingly prolific, isn't she!
ReplyDeleteIt must be hard to have to put a character you love through difficult times. Great interview.

I absolutely agree - I sometimes think our charactrers must hate us! It's necessary though, if we are to be true to life, and for there to be cnflict and tension in the story. It helps if we know the character is going to get their 'h.e.a.' eventually!
ReplyDeleteGotta love a writer who's "a little bloodthirsty"! Intriguing...
