Interview


1. Please tell the readers a bit about yourself.

Hello everyone! My name is Autre, although that’s just my online name since I’m not really comfortable revealing my real name. I like watching anime, eating sweets, and plush toys. I like to roleplay but school is always a top priority! My future goal is to become a doctor and I become writer somewhere along my journey, then that would be a welcome bonus.

2. What types of books do you write?

I used to write books about the apocalypse but I found out that a lot of my readers couldn’t feel or relate to my story so I changed my genre to fantasy, and by some stroke of luck, here I am! BOTW Author’s Spotlight! 

3. How many books have you written?

Overall, I’ve done two. Hoping to do more. 

4. What movie and/or book are you looking forward to this year?

As far as movies are concerned, I go with the flow. If my friends think this movie is great then I go for it. With books, I’m not very picky. I’d spend time in the bookstore reading the first chapter of every book I find interesting and just buy which one I like the most.

5. What type of books do you enjoy reading?

I prefer horror books, but I’ll take a swing on romance sometimes (heck, I’ve even read twilight) and maybe sci-fi

6. If you were stranded on a desert island what 3 things would you 

want with you?

Knife. Rope. Matches. All of them are multipurpose and can guarantee survival for few days at least… They can also be used to kill me should I lose all hope.

7. Are you considering a sequel?

Depends. If I don’t get to at least 700 reads by the end of the book, then probably not. But I’ll let you in a secret: My plans for Autre Domaine go beyond 5 books! So if I get lucky, you can expect 5 sequels. 

8. What inspired you to become a writer?

Voices in my head. Kidding. I have a lot of crazy ideas that’s going on inside my head, so I had to find a way to express myself and I thought hey! Why not try writing! It’s been pretty fun so far, when I first thought of Autre Domaine, the only thing I can ever picture was an angel fighting a devil and I just started adding words to make a story out of it.


Excerpt

Blood splattered all over the battlefield as the Juggernaut slaughtered her way through every single devil soldier with her laser sword, leaving trails of light each swing. 

Smoke fumed out of the corpses as she decapitated them all in half. 

“Prepare the cannons!” 

Soldiers lined up a few meters in front of the Juggernaut and readied the cannons. 

“Ready, aim, FIRE!” 

Dark energy started gathering at the tip of the cannons and the generators glowed brightly as it spits out a large balls of darkness. 

Cannon balls came rushing towards the angel in the middle of the field, undaunted; she raised her hand and casts a spell. 

“<<Code Cast: Himmel Schützen>> “

A checkered pattern of light flashed in the shape of a giant cross before solidifying, blocking the barrage of the devil’s cannon balls.

“This is crazy, there’s hundreds of us and only one of her! How come we can’t even scratch her?”

Fear shook the atmosphere, as the Juggernaut moved closer. Each step filled with the ominous aura of death.

<<Code Cast: Dash>> 

Her boots glowed for a split second before her speed increased dramatically. She sliced and diced every devil that stood in her path and in a matter of seconds; she was now in front of the cannons.

A devil fell down on his knees with shock. Both of them are soldiers, gone through the same training, endured the same hardships and yet she was far superior. 

What motivated her to become this strong?

While the soldier pondered the answers to his questions, Juggernaut drew another hilt from her waist as another laser blade emerged from it.

BOTM - Maid For Hire by Demonicblackcat


Maid For Hire

What would you do if your new boss if your biggest enemy in school? Popular girl Andrea Robinson has a big secret: she's actually very poor and has to work her butt off to maintain her lifestyle. But when she finds out that she's working for Alec Blaze, the school's most despicable player who dumped her best friend 2 years ago, as his maid, her life is completely turned around. 

Alec finds absolute pleasure from annoying the hell out of her, and often she finds herself trying not to beat him up into a mush. But what is actually Alec hiding from everyone? Why he is such a different person at his house? 

Most importantly, why is it getting harder and harder to hate Alec freaking Blaze?






Interview

1. Please tell the readers a bit about yourself.

I'm quite dang good illustrator. :) 

2. What types of books do you write?

I like humor, psychological, and young adult. As a genre, I love dramedy because the combination of tragedy and humor is just delicious.

3. How many books have you written?

I finished 3, but I've started over 20. I have terrible focus.

4. What movie and/or book are you looking forward to this year?

I'm looking forward to The Fault in Our Stars the movie. I also look forward for whatever Chuck Palahniuk's publishing this year (if any)

5. What type of books do you enjoy reading?

I mostly enjoy young adult (but it has to be super good), supernatural, and books that stars crazy people as their main protagonist. I also horribly enjoy anti-heroes.

6. If you were stranded on a desert island what 3 things would you want with you?

A book, a pencil, and my make up pouch (hey, maybe there's an incredibly hot guy got stranded there, too, and I'm not the type who'd look good sans make up)

7. Are you considering a sequel?

Almost never.

8. What inspired you to become a writer?

I just want to tell my stories to the world. And I really like to be listened to.
