Audio Tour: Interview w/ Author Nicola R. White (Fury’s Kiss) ~ #Excerpt

Posted on by

Hello and Welcome All!

Today I’m very lucky to be interviewing Nicola R. White author of Fury’s Kiss.

Hi Nicola, thank you for agreeing to this interview. Tell us about the process of turning your book into an audiobook.

Fury’s Kiss was the first audiobook I produced. Since I self-published this book, I wanted to do the same with the audiobook. I used a marketplace service offered by Audible.com for authors and narrators to connect and produce audiobooks that will be distributed through the site. Potential narrators submitted auditions and I selected the wonderful Elizabeth Tebb!

Was a possible audiobook recording something you were conscious of while writing?

Absolutely! I always think about the possibility of my books being adapted into all sorts of different mediums, whether audio, film, graphic novel, or something else I haven’t thought of yet.

Are you an audiobook listener? What about the audiobook format appeals to you?

Of course! I love the way a good narrator can make you feel as if the story is coming to life. I also like the convenience of being able to multitask while listening to a good book. My favorite place to listen to audiobooks is in the car.

In your opinion, what are the pros and cons of writing a stand-alone novel vs. writing a series?

As a reader and an author, I prefer a series to a stand-alone. From a reader perspective, if I like a book, I want more! From an author perspective, books in a series are easier to sell and readers seem to prefer them. It’s fun to create and explore a world in detail, although the con is that it can get hard to keep track of everything (especially if the series is based on mythology, like in the New England Furies series!).

What’s your favorite:

  1. Food – sushi
  2. Song – I like anything that is atmospheric and catchy at the same time. Think of the True Blood theme song, “Bad Things”.
  3. Book – This question is impossible! If I have to pick, I’ll go with The Catcher in the Rye. Lots of people hate it, but it’s one of the first books that challenged my ideas about the structure of a novel and made me want to be a writer.
  4. Television show – Buffy the Vampire Slayer
  5. Movie – Kids’ movie: Zootopia; adult movie: Sin City – I think it’s underrated
  6. Band –  I’m a sucker for old country. I love Johnny Cash and Dolly Parton.
  7. Sports team – I don’t usually follow team sports so I’ll go with Muhammad Ali as my favorite athlete. He was a controversial but fascinating figure.
  8. City – I flip flop between Boston and London.

Faced with strange new powers and embroiled in a murder investigation, Tara must now race to uncover the secrets of the ancient Fury that has woken inside of her – and of the evil that stalks her.

As if Tara’s life hasn’t gotten complicated enough, she is forced to ally herself with Jackson Byrne, witness to her assault and uncle to a pint-sized oracle whose fate is intertwined with hers. Skeptical, stubborn, and oh-so-sexy, Jackson wrestles with demons of his own.
