Today we're shining the spotlight on Chloe Jacobs, author of the Mylena Chronicles!
Chloe Jacobs is a native of nowhere and everywhere,
having jumped around to practically every Province of Canada before finally
settling in Ontario where she has now been living for a respectable number of
years. Her husband and son are the two best people in the entire world, but
they also make her wish she'd at least gotten a female cat. No such luck. And
although the day job keeps her busy, she carves out as much time as possible to
write. Bringing new characters to life and finding out what makes them tick and
how badly she can make them suffer is one of her greatest pleasures, almost better
than chocolate and fuzzy pink bunny slippers.
Get To Know Chloe...
If you could sing one song on The Voice, (or X-Factor
or American Idol), what would it be and why?
Oh my God, the Voice. Did you know that I am addicted
to that show? I hear songs on the radio and now judge them based upon whether
or not they would be a good song for the show. In fact, I’ve already decided
that if I were auditioning, I would have to sing Here by Alessia Cara. I love it,
and it’s got a great mix of vocals to show off to the judges with. :D
Then again, George Ezra is just this awesome,
deep-voiced powerhouse who kind of sneaks up on you, and if I could have his
voice I would be set for LIFE. Blame it on Me would get every single chair to
turn.
You're on a deserted island and uncover an ancient
looking box. When you open it, a genie appears and tells you to make one wish.
You can wish for anything--except more wishes or a way off the island. What do
you ask for?
Wait, what? We’re not still on the Voice question? Ha,
just kidding! :D Wishes are tricky things. If you’re not absolutely crystal
clear in the voicing of them (see how I got one more “voice” word in there
*giggle*) the wishes will almost always bite you in the ass. It’s that age-old
adage, be careful what you wish for. Having said that… OF COURSE I WANT TO MAKE A WISH.
I’d totally wish for money. It sounds lame, but I have
everything else that I need. As a family we’re happy and healthy and blessed.
If there were a little extra money then maybe we could experience some more of
the world, help our other family members, and relax a little bit. Then again,
there’s something to be said for Lifetime Supply of Cheesecake.
Most embarrassing teen moment- that you're willing to
admit publicly?
When I was in grade 9 I auditioned for the school
production of Arthur Miller’s The Crucible. The good thing was that I got a
part, and as Betty Parris, I got to open up the whole show…with a scream. A
literal, spine-chilling, ear-splitting scream. I practiced the scream for weeks
so that when the time came it would ring out clear and crisp and make everyone
in the audience believe that I was possessed by the very devil…and I choked. As
the curtain opened on that first night, I shot up in my bed on stage with the
lights on me, and I was dressed in nothing but a prissy white nightgown and
everyone was watching…waiting…And my scream was a squeak. *shaking head*
If you were to trade places with someone in a young
adult novel, who would it be and why?
I’ve always been a huge fan of mysteries, the kind
where the heroine is an amateur sleuth and gets into sticky situations because
she can’t let any clue go unchased. I would be the modern Nancy Drew, hopefully
with a cute sidekick computer whiz to keep me out of jail. :D
What's your go to writing snack? chocolate, potato
chips, whiskey?
I’m a Twizzlers freak. When I’m in the writing cave, I
can down a whole bag of those things in an afternoon. It’s a sickness. And
combine that with the amount of coffee I consume on a daily basis…it’s a wonder
I’m still alive.
Once upon a dark time…
Greta the human bounty hunter never quite fit into the
shadowed, icy world of Mylena. Yet she's managed to defeat the demon Agramon
and win the love of the darkly intense Goblin King, Isaac. Now Isaac wants her
to rule by his side—a human queen. And the very announcement is enough to
incite rebellion…
To make matters worse, defeating Agramon left Greta
tainted with a dark magick. Its unclean power threatens to destroy her and
everything she loves. With the Goblin King's life and the very peace of Mylena
at stake, Greta must find a cure and fast.
Her only hope lies with the strange, elusive faeries
in the Glass Kingdom…if she can get there before the evil within her destroys
everything.
Look out for the final thrilling installment of the
Mylena Chronicles, GRETA AND THE LOST ARMY, in early-2016!
