Catching Up With Melissa West
The Reading Cafe is happy to welcome back Melissa West. Melissa is here today to discuss her new release, Hover. She will also tell us what she has in store for us in 2013/2014.
Let’s talk to Melissa.
TRC: Hi, Melissa. Thank you for taking the time to visit us again at The Reading Cafe, to discuss your new release “Hover”, as well as to talk about what you have planned in 2014.
Melissa: Thank you for having me!
TRC: You have just released Hover, which is the 2nd book in you’re The Taking series. For those who may not have read this series, would you please give us a brief description of the premise of the series?
Melissa: In the future, an alien race known as the Ancients has helped Earth terraform itself back to health with one condition—they coexistence with humans, sharing the planet. But now that the time has come for coexistence, the humans want out of the treaty, which, of course, has sparked a war.
TRC: Will you please tell us a bit about Hover, which was released a few days ago?
Melissa: HOVER is the boiling point of the series. In GRAVITY, the start of the series, the water was just beginning to sizzle. Now in HOVER, everything is coming to a head. Tension is high. Action is high. And in COLLIDE, the water is going to boil over. I think fans of the series will enjoy the rush that is HOVER and will be eager for COLLIDE, which, to me, is the best book of the series.
Links to order Hover:
Amazon / Barnes & Noble / Kobo / The Book Depository
TRC: What can you tell us about the 3rd book in the series, Collide? Is this the last book in this series?
Melissa: We are talking about doing a prequel, which will tell the story of events that led up to GRAVITY. But in a word, COLLIDE is the war.
TRC: You have a new book called Broken Winter. Can you tell us anything about it, and when do you anticipate the release date?
Melissa: 🙂 I hadn’t realized BROKEN WINTER was known to the world. LOL! I am not able to discuss details of that project just yet, but soon. 🙂
TRC: Maybe when we like an author we do good research. lol
TRC: What are you currently working on, and what do you have planned for 2014?
Melissa: I am currently working on a lot of projects. I feel a little overwhelmed! 🙂 I am working on COLLIDE, BROKEN WINTER, and another YA series that I am super excited about. 2014 is going to be a fun year!
TRC: Would you like to add anything else?
Melissa: I would like to add that readers are going to feel shocked when they finish HOVER. Hang with me. It will all make sense in the end. 🙂
TRC: You are right. As I kept reading, I suspected something would happen, but what an ending. 🙂
TRC: Thank you, Melissa for giving us an update on Hover, as well as what we can look forward to in the future. It was a pleasure talking with you again. We hope to catch up again in the future.
Melissa: Thank you so much, Barb! Always a pleasure!
