MEET THE AUTHOR

FEATURED AUTHOR: FELICIA DENISE

Picture
Hello and welcome to Silver Beans Café. My name is Royal, and I am one of the interviewers here at SBC. Today I am honored to be sitting down with WOMEN'S FICTION author FELICIA DENISE!
Thank you, Felicia, for being here today. Let’s just jump right into the interview. Let's start out by GETTING TO KNOW YOU. What GENRE DO YOU WRITE?  
Women’s Fiction, usually with a psychological twist.
Why? We take our minds for granted. We know what we want, but all too often we never stop to think why we want certain things. We have cravings, desires, yearnings, longings, but gloss over their true origins. I like to dig deep for the why.
FELICIA, CAN YOU TELL US THE TITLES OF YOUR BOOKS?

In the Best Interest of the Child (Debut Novel)
Free, a Novella
Family Matters (In the Best Interest of the Child 2) Coming Soon

OUTSIDE OF WRITING WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR OTHER INTERESTS?

I love to cook and try to spend one day a week “messing around” in the kitchen creating a new dish. I also enjoy history and history trivia, home crafts (currently arm knitting), and music is usually playing while most of this is going on! Of course, I’m an avid reader and read 3-4 books at a time.

FELICIA, THIS NEXT SECTION WILL BE AN IN-DEPTH LOOK AT YOUR BOOKS. LET ME ASK YOU MORE ABOUT YOUR BOOKS.

MY FAVORITE QUESTION, IS THERE ANY TRACES OF YOUR PERSONALITY IN YOUR MAIN CHARACTER?

I didn’t think so, but people who know me and have read the book swear I share my protagonist’s tendency to isolate myself. I don’t see it! HA!

Isn’t that funny how that happens. Haha (Smiles) Royal
 

FELICIA, WHERE DO YOU DRAW INSPIRATION FROM FOR YOUR BOOKS?

I’m a character-driven writer. A thought or idea pops into my mind and characters begin to just show up, often even after I’ve began writing.
 
CHANGING THE FOCUS TO YOUR WRITING, WHAT IS ONE OF THE BEST THINGS ABOUT WRITING?
 
The freedom. There are no boundaries on where my stories can go or what my characters do.
 
AND FELICIA, WHAT IS ONE OF THE BEST PIECES OF ADVICE THAT YOU RECEIVED OR A QUOTE THAT YOU LIVE BY?
 
“You can use dozens of editors and beta readers, but you’re the only one who will know when it’s right” said by a former teacher after we discussed my first manuscript.
 
FELICIA I LIKE TO ASK AUTHORS THIS QUESTION. WHAT IS ONE THING THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SAY TO YOUR READERS?
 
“Don’t be afraid to step out of your reading comfort zone.” My reading tastes have never been more diverse than they are today. Over the years, I would go through phases and only read certain authors or cultures, thrillers or British works, romance or mysteries… never mixing two genres at once. I could kick myself at all the wasted time. Right now, I’m reading two paranormal stories, a women’s fiction and a nonfiction, and I love it!
 
ALRIGHT FELICIA WE’RE WINDING DOWN NOW. I JUST HAVE A FEW MORE QUESTIONS. CAN YOU TELL THE SBC READERS WHAT’S NEXT FOR YOU?
 
YOUR UPCOMING RELEASE?
 
Family Matters is overdue (because of my husband’s health issues) and coming soon! Heartburn, my 2016 NaNoWriMo project will be released in 2018.
 
WHAT SHOULD PEOPLE EXPECT TO SEE FROM YOU IN THE FUTURE?
A romantic comedy!
 
Those are fun. (Royal)
 
ARE THERE ANY EVENTS YOU WANT TO SHARE THAT YOU WILL APPEAR AT IN THE NEAR FUTURE? 
No dates yet – but there was a blog tour, and two cover reveals before March of this year.
 
WHAT ARE YOU MOST EXCITED ABOUT?
2018! I have one series and three standalone novels scheduled for release. That’s a big deal for me!

READ YOUR COPY OF IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE CHILD 
​

Severely injured in an accident that forever changed her life, 10-year-old Olivia becomes another faceless, underserved child in foster care. With no time to mourn or grieve, the young girl is easy prey for uncaring social workers and ambivalent foster families.
 
Olivia quickly learns to hold her tongue and mask her emotions. Even when exposed to neglect, bullying, and assault, no one seems to care. Holding fast to the teachings of her late father, Olivia ages out of the system broken, but no longer a victim.
 
Now a successful child advocate attorney, Olivia is a passionate voice for children. However, a routine case assignment by the court plunges Olivia back into the trauma of her childhood. If she doesn’t face her demons, a child will be sent into foster care, and Olivia will lose the only chance at love she’s ever had…or wanted.
 
Foster care for her young client is not an option. But Olivia’s emotional scars run even deeper than she realized. Reconciling with her past means Olivia must confront the one woman she blames for her battered soul.
 
A woman who has no idea who Olivia is.
​
