Colet and Jasmine Abedi did a few interviews last year and we thought that we’d share our favourite questions from each. To read the full interviews check out the links after the interview.
Q. Please tell us about the inspiration for your current release.
There were so many reasons we decided to write this series, but the catalyst was really our obsession with the stories of the Tuatha de Danann. Irish mysticism is pretty cool when you really take a look at it. It’s so rich with story that it lends itself as the perfect backdrop to an epic romance between star-crossed lovers.
If you could be any character in Fae, who would you be and why?Jasmine: Wow. During the process, you honestly fall in love with all of the characters, but to “be” one of them is a tough one to answer. For me, I think it is a toss up between Caroline and Devilyn. Given that Fae is told from the eyes of Devilyn and Caroline (our hero and heroine), they occupied so much of my mind so I feel such a sense of relatedness with them. I adore and admire Devilyn’s loyalty and Caroline’s grace, even though they are flawed in so many ways their core is pretty amazing.Colet: This is a difficult question because I love so many of the characters. But I think for me the character that I’d love to trade places with would be Odin. He’s the ultimate hero in my eyes. He’s strength, honor and love. Imagine being someone that can see past human or Fae flaws and still have all of that unconditional love? It’s pretty awesome.
Q. What is the hardest part of writing for you?
Colet: The hardest part for me is when Jasmine and I aren’t on the same page. When you’re writing as a team you’ve got two different personalities, opinions… everything. And combine all that with being sisters, it’s especially hard. I can be stubborn and it’s hard for me to budge when I believe in an idea so much.
Jasmine: I think writing in general can be a very lonely process. As I said earlier, you may be living with many characters in your head, but you are physically alone. So, it’s nice to have a writing partner, especially a loved one. However, like most siblings, we also argue quite a bit especially about our ideas for the book. We are different in so many ways, and yet we like a lot of the same things as well. It’s when the differences arise…
Are there any books you would recommend to fellow bloggers and readers out there?Jasmine: I’m a big fan of Judith McNaught. In fact I am totally obsessed with her books and wish she would come out with another one, as it has been a while. I just finished Sophia Kinsella’s “Can You Keep A Secret,” and it was really funny and am working on One Tiny Lie (per my sister’s recommendation).Colet: I just read One Tiny Lie by K.A. Tucker and I totally enjoyed it. I also finished Beautiful Disaster, which I loved and then there’s always Paradise by Judith McNaught.
Q. Please tell us a fun-fact about yourself!
Colet: I’m a triple Pisces 🙂
Jasmine: I’m a Gemini (which means I’m probably a double Gemini since Gemini is the sign of twins).
What is your favorite part of the writing process?Jasmine: The best part about is that you escape from the monotony of everyday life. The world you’ve created in your mind makes its way onto paper and finally finds a home. There’s no greater feeling.
Colet: Writing. Once we have an outline and have done the research, I love nothing more than just sitting down with my music playing and getting lost in this fantasy world. It’s the ultimate feeling.
Q. Do you have anything specific that you want to say to your readers?
We hope they enjoy FAE Book 1 as much as we enjoyed writing it. There is so much more to come for Caroline and Devilyn and we’re excited to take the readers on the ride.
