Author Interview: Tamara Shoemaker, Embrace the Fire

I have never done an author interview before and I am pleased that the first author I am highlighting on this blog is a friend of mine -- a real life friend, not just online.  I met her at a writing group that I occasionally attend and I liked her right away.  Over the years we have connected, not just as fellow writers, but as women in a very similar place in life.

Tamara Shoemaker is an excellent author and writes in a very similar genre to mine -- young adult fantasy.  I have read several of her books before they were released and always enjoy her stories.  Please enjoy the interview below and take the time to check out her books!

Describe your book in three sentences.

Embrace the Fire continues the journeys of the four characters introduced in Kindle the Flame. Political intrigue overflows into epic warfare as kings clash and nations dissolve beneath Dragonfire and magic. Kinna, Cedric, and Ayden are drawn inexorably toward a fearful destiny, and Dragons, Pixies, Seer Fey, and other creatures are pitted against one another as the adventure dissolves into a cataclysmic end that will leave the reader dying for more.
