[I know I said I would review Forever next, but my power went out and one computer crashed, the other one will not connect to the internet so I have been using my iPod-__-]
Aimée Carter is the author of the awesome book The Goddess Test, I hope this interview makes you want to read it. I loved it, I hope you do too!
MR-You've said before that you had the idea for The Goddess Test was stuck in your mind for a few years, what made you start writing it?
AC- It really was the compulsion to tell this story. I'm forever looking for new ideas that really grab me and give me a story to work with, and TGT captured my imagination in a way that nothing had up until then.
MR-I love finding books set in Michigan, why did you chose Eden, Michigan?
AC - Initially the story was set in Maine. I wanted a place that was relatively isolated, and it happens that there is a Hell, MI (in the lower peninsula) and a Paradise, MI (in the upper peninsula). It was too cool to resist, so I changed the setting and created the town of Eden.
MR-I can't wait for the next Goddess book, and I'm sure my readers feel the same. Could you tell us a bit about Goddess Interrupted?
AC- Thank you so much! I'm so excited for Goddess Interrupted, and you can read the back of the book here:
Kate Winters has won immortality.
But if she wants a life in the Underworld with Henry, she’ll have to fight for it.
Becoming immortal wasn’t supposed to be the easy part. Though Kate is about to be crowned Queen of the Underworld, she’s as isolated as ever. And despite her growing love for Henry, ruler of the Underworld, he’s becoming ever more distant and secretive. Then, in the midst of Kate’s coronation, Henry is abducted by the only being powerful enough to kill him: the King of the Titans.
As the other gods prepare for a war that could end them all, it is up to Kate to save Henry from the depths of Tartarus. But in order to navigate the endless caverns of the Underworld, Kate must enlist the help of the one person who is the greatest threat to her future.
Henry’s first wife, Persephone.
AC- It picks up six months after the end of The Goddess Test, although my publisher will be released a free e-novella about a month before the sequel's release. The novella, entitled The Goddess Hunt, takes place sometime during those six months, and I'm very excited about that as well.
MR- If you were in Kate's place, would you accept the challenge of the 7 tests? Do you think you would pass all 7?
AC - I'd like to think I would, and I'm sure I'd pass a few of the tests, but it's one of those things where you would have to actually take the test in order to know for sure whether or not you'd pass.
MR- You've said before in interviews that you have always liked Greek Mythology, can you see yourself in the future writing more books based on any of the other Greek myths?
AC- I would absolutely love to continue the Goddess Test series past the third book, though it remains to be seen whether or not that will be possible. In the next two books, and even the novella, a lot of other Greek myths are incorporated into the story. However, I'm not sure I could see myself writing another book based on the Greek myths that doesn't take place in Kate's world. If I did write more, it would definitely be within this universe.
MR- And finally, if you could work with any author, dead or alive, who would it be?
AC- Easy. JK Rowling. For obvious reasons. :)
Thank you Miss Carter! I hope all of you wonderful readers pick up a copy of The Goddess Test and that you love it as much as I did!
