Catching up with Shannon K. Butcher...
LITERAL ADDICTION/Book Monster Reviews: Hi Shannon, welcome back! As always, we’re incredibly happy to have you with us today. Thank you so much for taking time away from your busy schedule again to chat with us.
Shannon: Thanks so much for having me back! It’s always great to have the chance to chat with fellow readers.
LITERAL ADDICTION/Book Monster Reviews: We asked you most of our good ice breaker questions last time, but we have a few more and then we’ll get to talking about the new releases…
Q1): If you were told the world was going to end tomorrow, what would you do in your last 24 hrs?
Shannon: I’d probably spend it around the gaming table with close friends and family, laughing away the end of the world.
Q2): What’s your guilty pleasure?
Shannon: Neil Diamond. And really bad sci-fi movies—the cheesier, the better.
Q3): If you were to write an autobiography, what do you think it’d be called?
Shannon: Onward!!!
LITERAL ADDICTION/Book Monster Reviews: O.K, now let’s find out some more about these 2 amazing new releases.
Q4): For those of us that have not gotten to it yet, can you tell us a little bit more about “Bound by Vengeance” and its place in the SENTINAL WARS series?
Shannon: BBV is one of those smaller stories that I probably would never have been able to find the space to tell if not for having the chance to do the Penguin eSpecial. It falls after BLOOD HUNT and right before DYING WISH.
Liam answers a call for help from the head of the Defenders, and in doing so meets Dakota, who will stop at nothing to avenge her brother’s death. Together, they go hunting the demons who killed her brother, and Liam learns that she is one of the rare women who has the power to stop the death of his soul.
Q5): “Dying Wish” features Iain and Jackie. How did it feel getting their story out there? Did you encounter any surprises while writing their tale?
Shannon: This was one of those stories that just kinda fell out of me. I’d been looking forward to this book for years, and was really pleased with the way it came out. Since the world of the Sentinels is so complex, the most surprising thing is how easy it was to write. And as always, I’ve continued past storylines and laid the groundwork for future books.
Q6): You had told us before that you were contracted for 9 SENTINAL WARS installments. Is that still true? What can we look forward to in the next few books?
Shannon: Yes, that’s still true. I’ve already written book 7, tentatively titled BLINDING LIGHT. This is Cain’s story, and I’ve paired him with Rory (who was a riot to write!) from book 5, BLOOD HUNT. I plan to write stories for Torr and Joseph soon. And if I get the chance, I’d love to do more novella length works so that those little stories in my head can also see the light of day.
Q7): There’s another EDGE book coming out later this year correct? Can you tell us any more about that?
Shannon: Yes, Edge #3 will be out toward the end of 2012. It’s titled EDGE OF SANITY and is my favorite of the series so far. Clay has been experiencing blackouts and lost time for a while, but when he wakes up covered in blood with no idea of how it got there, he knows he needs help. That help comes in the form of Dr. Leigh Vaughn. Together, they uncover the reason for his blackouts and with it, a larger, terrifying plot.
Q8): When we hosted you last, you were very excited about jumping into the planning phases of the new series that you hoped to unleash on the world. Can you tell us any more about it, i.e what type of series, how’s it going, when you think it might become reality, etc?
Shannon: I’m not yet ready to talk about that yet, but I just finished the first book a couple of days ago. And that’s all I’m saying. :)
Q9): Do you have anything else going on that your readers need to know about – i.e big contests, appearances, signings, etc?
Shannon: I do a monthly contest in which I usually give away a signed book and a piece of beaded or glass jewelry that I’ve made. I also have several public appearances planned for the year, including stops in St. Louis, Chicago, Kansas City, Cincinnati, and Gatlinburg, TN. For more details, you can check out my website: http://www.shannonkbutcher.com/
Q10): Any new beading/glass blowing/crafty things you have going on right now that your fans can take advantage of?
Shannon: Yes! Every month I host a contest on my website with some of my crafty creations. It’s a great way to give myself an excuse to take time away from work and play with sparkly bits of colored glass. :)
LITERAL ADDICTION/Book Monster Reviews: Thank you so much Shannon. As always, it’s been an absolute pleasure, and we can’t wait
