What can we expect next? How long will the series go on? So wrong! Merc will be a fixed character, and we learn more of his backstory in BARELY BEWITCHED (Book 2).Īmber - WOULD-BE WITCH is just the first book in the series. Kimberly - Yes, I love cats, but I'm allergic to them. Likewise, the other characters in series were inspired by a lot of different influences, not on any one specific person.Īmber - Although Tammy Jo is the star of the series there is a certain feline character who I am totally in love with! I guess you are a cat person? Will Merc be a fixed character? Will we find out more about him? She wasn't great in school, but is a creative genius in the kitchen. She grew up without a dad and never felt like she could live up to her family's expectations. In terms of our backgrounds, we're very different. If there's a problem, she'll try to help fix it. Kimberly - Tammy Jo cares about people-no matter how crazy and eccentric they are-and she has a high level of personal responsibility.

I had been reading a lot of humorous mysteries and dark urban fantasies and wondered if I could combine my favorite elements from each.Īmber - Are you anything like Tammy Jo or any of the other characters in your book? Are any of them based on people you know? I had the idea for the series about a year before I began to write it. Next thing she knows, she’s involved with a forbidden wizard and fighting werewolves, all while trying to find the locket before the ghost is lost forever.Īmber - How was the idea for the series born? Was it a long process or something that just came to you? Unfortunately, the spells go horribly and humorously wrong. When the family locket, which is linked to the soul of the family ghost, is stolen, Tammy starts casting spells to recover it. Tammy Jo Trask, a small-town Texas girl from a family of witches, has always lacked the gift-until now. I jokingly say it’s Charmed meets The Dukes of Hazzard. Kimberly - WOULD-BE WITCH is one of those “kitchen sink” novels that mixes different elements it combines fantasy, mystery, romance, and action-adventure. Not only does the series (book 2 is due out in September) have amazing covers but it has a great lead character and a cute cat! I can't wait to read 'Barely Bewitched' when it is released and I hope this interview will entice you all to pick up the first book or even win a copy.Īmber - Welcome to Amberkatze's Book Blog!
