Linda Wisdom – Interview & Contest

October 26, 2009 in Author Interviews, Contests

lwisdomI am pleased to welcome one of my favorite authors, Linda Wisdom to Writings of a Wicked Book Addict. Linda’s Hex series includes, 50 Ways to Hex Your Lover, Hex Appeal, Wicked By Any Other Name & Hex in High Heels.

First, welcome to Writings of a Wicked Book Addict. Thanks for taking the time to answer some questions.
 

Pixie: Can you tell us about Hex in High Heels?n317250

Linda: Hex in High Heels takes up several months after Wicked By Any Other Name left off. Blair wants to pursue a relationship with Jake, Jake would like the same, but he’s leery since he isn’t sure she could handle his Were nature. Silly doggie! Making matters worse is the arrival of Jake’s former Pack, his mother and brother who don’t bring warm and fuzzy to the mix. Not to mention some elves that Santa wouldn’t want around them. Blair isn’t about to allow Jake’s family members to create trouble for him and since revenge spells are her specialty there’s no problem there. Although now she has Fluff and Puff as a tattoo on her ankle. Makes for an interesting time!

Pixie: Why did you choose to focus on Blair for the third novel?

Linda: Writing about Blair was pretty much a given considering the end of Wicked By Any Other Name where we see Jake’s true nature.   

n274433Pixie: So far the Sister Witches have found matches with a Vampire, A Wizard & now a Were-border collie (ha). What paranormals are next?

Linda: I’ve got a sexy half fire demon coming up and a ghost. I never like to make it easy for the witches!

Pixie: Can you tell us about Thea’s story, The Best Hex Ever?

Linda: My publisher did some rescheduling so the next book will be Maggie next October and Thea’s book will be out after that. Maggie is a protection specialist and now she’s doing duty looking after a mouthy teenager who’s the target of an ancient Mayan priest and dealing with a very seductive half demon who’s got an agenda of his own.

Pixie: Where did you come up with all of the sidekicks?

Linda: Fluff and Puff showed up because I always pictured Jazz wearing bunny slippers sporting fangs and attitude. They all seem to pop into my head to fit the witch they’re paired with.

Pixie: I love Horace, do you think Horace will ever find a love match? Will Fluff & Puff get rid of the curse?n288302

Linda: Hard to say with Horace or if a female gargoyle would want him. He’s actually the one who was cursed for hitting on a troll’s wife. Fluff and Puff have their own magick and it protects them.

Pixie: Will we ever find out what Witch caused all the girls to be banished to the human world?

Linda: Oh yes. So far it feels like it will be the last book in the series.

Pixie: What about the lake “monster”, will we find out more about that?

Linda: The lake monster will show up again. I think it’s cool that so many readers picked up on that and now want more.

Pixie: Do you plan to tell the story of every sister?

Linda: That’s what I hope to do. Naturally, it depends on the readers. If the demand is there, my publisher will keep contracting the books!

n288697Pixie: Finally, I noticed Hex in High Heels has a lot of music references, what music inspires you when you write?

Linda: It depends on the witch. Some prefer golden oldies, others classic, hard rock, and even zydeco. Probably because it’s echoing what I listen to. My playlist on my iPod seems to change with each witch.

Pixie: Thanks for taking the time to answer some questions for me Linda!

Linda: You’re very welcome, Natasha! Thank you for having me!
