Returned by Keeley Smith Tour: Interview & Giveaway

Returned
Pendle Hill Series 
Book OneKeeley Smith

17 year old Cora Hunt has one wish, to live the life of a normal teenager. Her wish never comes true.

After her reluctant move to a sleepy village in the middle of Lancashire Cora's life is turned upside down when she discovers she is a witch. Cora is not just any old witch, she is the daughter of Alizon Device who was one of the most powerful witches of her time.

Dealing with her new found powers is quite a challenge, but when the past she didn't know about unearths new complications in the form of Jack Thomas, her life becomes increasingly dangerous with each waking minute. Jack also has a secret past, a past that clashes with Cora's.

A confrontation between the two results in a life or death situation. The brutal events of 1612 happened hundreds of years ago, but what Jack and Cora face is a definite déjà vu.

The only question is, will their fate be the same as those who perished in 1612?

About the Author:


I've always loved reading, it is a common known fact that I pretty much demolish a book a day. Expensive hobby, but a great one! I've dabbled with writing since the day I could actually write. So, it was only fitting that I had my first book published when I was 15.

If I'm not writing you would generally find me reading, creating jewellery, trawling social networking sites and listening to music. I will pretty much listen to any kind of music but I have two favourites, country music which has been with me since I was a little toddler and I also love to listen to movie scores, especially when I'm writing!

I currently live in Yorkshire with my husband.

Interview:

I would like to welcome Keeley Smith for stopping by today to tell us a little about heself and her works.


How long did it take you to write Returned?

It took me nearly 3 years to write Returned and another 2 years to go over it. I also work full time and at that time I was completing my degree. I like to keep busy J

What is the favourite part of the story Returned?

Ooooo that is a toughie I would say I love Tabitha’s witch shop. It is just an amazing shop so any scenes in there are good. Also love the interaction between Cora and Jack! That is two, I know, I couldn’t pick just one! J

Who is your favourite character in the Pendle Hill series?

I have to pick one? Oh my.... I love Cora because she is my main character and she has so many of my personality traits in her. I also love Tabitha because she is just a strong powerful woman!

What is your typical day like?

Weekday - My typical day is going to work all day and then coming home, mumbling something to the husband when he comes home from work, mumbling some more over dinner and then running upstairs into my cave to write J
Weekends – I have more free time so I tend to plan, edit, plot (whilst laughing like a maniac) and then writing. I love weekends!

Can you share a little of your current work with us?

Oooo, well I’m currently writing all sorts. Change (Pendle Hill book #2) is with my editor so I have one secret story or the adult one I am writing. You know what I will go with the secret story and I’m going to go all out and give you a snippet, ready J

Snippet from fairy book.

What do you prefer, paper, hardcover or ebooks?

I prefer a book in my hands so whichever comes first paperback or hardcover. Usually hardcover as that is the first one to come out and I’m an impatient person when it comes to reading my books J
