Welcome back to Author Mary Lindsey!


Bio:
Mary's writing is a natural expression of her love of reading and a fascination with the flexibility of the human imagination. Books make the impossible possible.
Prior to attending University of Houston Law School, Mary received a B.A. in English Literature with a minor in Drama from the University of Houston. She has taught drama and playwriting in a large public high school and English in a private school. Currently, Mary teaches acting to children and teens at a private studio in Houston, Texas.
She is represented by Ammi-Joan Paquette of the Erin Murphy Literary Agency.
Mary lives in Houston with her husband, three kids, two dogs, her daughter's pet rats, an Australian Bearded Dragon and dozens of Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches. (The roaches are long story—don't ask.)

Interview:


If you could invite any 5 people to dinner who would you choose?
The question didn’t specify dead or alive, so I’m going with both! 
Winston Churchill
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Edgar Allan Poe
Mark Twain
Harper Lee

What is one book everyone should read?
Shattered Souls, of course! No, just kidding. The one book everyone should read is To Kill a Mockingbird.

What is your favorite flavor of ice cream?
Vanilla. Boring, I know.

Any other books in the works? Goals for future projects? 
Yes! I recently sold another book to Penguin. It is a young adult gothic novel based on Edgar Allan Poe’s last poem, “Annabel Lee.” I’m really excited about it.

If you could jump in to a book, and live in that world.. which would it be?

A thrilling debut story of death, love, destiny and danger.
Lenzi hears voices and has visions - gravestones, floods, a boy with steel gray eyes. Her boyfriend, Zak, can't help, and everything keeps getting louder and more intense. Then Lenzi meets Alden, the boy from her dreams, who reveals that she's a reincarnated Speaker - someone who can talk to and help lost souls - and that he has been her Protector for centuries.
Now Lenzi must choose between her life with Zak and the life she is destined to lead with Alden. But time is running out: a malevolent spirit is out to destroy Lenzi, and he will kill her if she doesn't make a decision soon.

Fabulous debut!

There is already a lot of hype about this book and its release date is still 3 months away.  In my opinion it is well deserved hype.  Shattered Souls is an original, engaging book that is sure to be a hit with those who enjoy young adult paranormal fiction.  I was hooked right from the start and loved the characters and storyline.  This book stands alone but I would love a sequel. 

There is an overwhelming number of books in this genre being released and it is impossible to read them all.  Shattered Souls is one you don't want to miss.
