SEVEN TEARS
Q: Your book SEVEN TEARS INTO THE SEA by far the best book I have ever read. The ending made me want to know more & I cant help but wonder if Zach actually liked Gwen or is just plain cruel. Also Jesse, one of my favorite characters, he seems so real but so like Prince Charming - he isnt real. I think everyone needs to read this book. It is the greatest. I could not put it down I just wanted to keep reading. I hope you write more books like this & I want to know where you got your idea!
A: I'm so happy that you enjoyed SEVEN TEARS. I loved writing it. I've been fascinated with the legend of the selkie for half my life and the story has been brewing for a long time. I heard the legend from a girl in college who'd spent some time in Scotland and later I talked with Nevada's state historian who happens to be a bagpiper and Celtic expert about it -- and the story was born!
I hope to write more about Celtic legends on my weblog soon because lots of readers are curious! In the meantime, here's a link you can cut and paste into your browser to read a cool review of SEVEN TEARS : http://www.nimblespirit.com/html/seven_tears_into_the_sea_revie.html
"Seawizard" on Amazon.com really "got" what I was trying to do, too, saying I'd written a story about what is real and what isn't.
This is part of what makes writing fun!
Happy July,
Terri
