AUTHOR INTERVIEW
JENNIFER ESTEP
TOUCH OF FROST
Y’all know how much I enjoyed Touch of Frost and reading about the Mythos Academy. You can read my review HERE. I jumped at the chance to interview Jennifer Estep about her book. Thank you Jennifer!
Greetings and salutations! First of all, I want to thank Melina for having me on the blog today. Thanks so much, Melina!
If Mythos Academy had a slogan, what would it be?
Jennifer: Myths, magic, monsters, and mean girls.
What do you think would be the toughest mythological power to possess? Why?
Jennifer: Hmm. Good question. I think every power has its benefits and drawbacks – one of the cool things about writing fantasy books is coming up with those benefits and drawbacks and seeing how they impact your characters.
But I would say the toughest mythological power to possess would be just being Ares, the Greek god of war. I think you’d probably be angry all the time, and no one would ever be glad to see you. LOL.
Are there are celebrities that remind you of any of the gods or goddesses?
Jennifer: I would say Catherine Zeta-Jones. She’s definitely gorgeous enough to be a goddess. And comedic actors like Steve Carrell and Jim Carrey always remind me of trickster gods, like the Norse god Loki.
If Touch of Frost were a movie, who should play the key roles?
Jennifer: I think Emma Watson would be a good choice for my heroine Gwen Frost, and Ian Somerhalder would make a great Logan Quinn, my Spartan bad-boy warrior. I could see someone like Jennifer Garner playing Professor Metis, Gwen’s mentor, while Clive Owen would make a good Nickamedes, the head librarian at the Library of Antiquities.
Why should we read Touch of Frost?
Jennifer: Because it’s just a fun read that’s full of action, magic, danger, and romance – not to mention a Spartan guy who is as cute as he is deadly. ;-)
What about you guys? What are some of your favorite books, movies, TV shows, and hobbies?
Jennifer Estep writes the Mythos Academy young adult urban fantasy series for Kensington. The books focus on Gwen Frost, a 17-year-old Gypsy girl who has the gift of psychometry, or the ability to know an object’s history just by touching it. After a serious freak-out with her magic, Gwen is shipped off to Mythos Academy, a school for the descendants of ancient warriors like Spartans, Valkyries, Amazons, and more.
Touch of Frost, the first book in the series, was published on July 26. First Frost, a prequel e-story to the series, is available now as a 99-cent download. Kiss of Frost, the second book, will hit shelves on Nov. 29. Visit www.jenniferestep.com for excerpts and more information.
