Today
on the blog we have an interview with Bonnie Ferrante, author of YA
fantasy novel Leya.
Leya is a poor peasant girl with little hope for a better future. Being chosen by a Mistress of the Sphere of Vision is her only hope, but because she has two different coloured eyes, Leya will have to be exceptionally gifted. No one in her family has ever been chosen. Does she have potential for a vision gift and will one eye be strong enough to fulfil that potential?
I will be writing more books from different girls' viewpoints. They will all build toward the grand confrontation.
Where
did you find the inspiration for the series?
I've
always loved the phrase "The eyes are the window to the soul."
What if they were also the doorway to individual magical gifts?
What
made you want to write for a YA audience?
What is your favourite YA series?
Scott
Westerfeld's Uglies series.
Did
you relate to Leya or any of your other characters?
Who is your favourite character from your book and why?
Leya is my favourite character because she shows the most growth.
If you could choose to have a Vision Power, what would it be?
Healing, emotionally and physically.
What book do you wish you could have written?
The Once and Future King by E. B. White.
If
you could only read one book for the rest of your life what would it
be?
The
collected works of Shakespeare.
I'd
like to say a big thank you to Bonnie for taking the time to answer
some questions. Leya is available to purchase now in both ebook
and paperback formats.
