Haven Virtural Book Tour Interview with Celia Breslin Author of Haven

Today I the pleasure of interviewing Celia Breslin.

1. What made you want to be a writer?

My Irish grandmother started it with her stories of the Fae, including one tale of her encounter with a Banshee in her root cellar. Imagination fueled, I wrote a lot of fairytales as a kid.

2. Who is your favorite author?

So hard to pick just one! Currently, I’m obsessed with anything written by Laura Kaye, Kresley Cole, and Larissa Ione.

3. What is the name of the last book you read?

South of Surrender, by Laura Kaye (book 3, Hearts of the Anemoi series)

4. Tell us about yourself in 3 words.

My husband decided to answer this one. “Sexy, smart, funny.” I think he’s a keeper, wouldn’t you agree? *grins*

5. What is your favorite activity?

Is this a trick question? LOL. Writing, of course. :-)

6. If your book could be made into a movie, which actors would you have play the main two characters?

We’d need actors in their mid 20s for Carina and Alexander, so I’d love the following actors and actresses to show up for a casting call:
For Carina – Elena Satine, Lilly Collins, and Giulia Elettra Gorietti
For Alexander – Ian Somerhalder and Kellan Lutz

7. Who is your favorite character in your book?

In truth, all of my Haven characters hold a piece of my heart. But I hope Carina will forgive me if I confess her mentor Jonas is my favorite. An ancient vampire originally from England, Jonas embodies extreme violence in a pretty package. He’s a man of few words, dark and moody, fiercely loyal and violently protective of those few people he loves (such as Carina).

I adore Jonas so much I gave him his own story, a prequel to HAVEN entitled “The Vampire Code.” It releases this October, also from Champagne Books.

8. What's in your TBR (to be read) pile?

Many, many books! I’ll share the next four in line to be read: Instinct and Dysus Dreamer, both by J.A. Garland; Kiss the Dead by Laurell K. Hamilton; MacRieve by Kresley Cole.

9. What are 3 of your pet peeves?

Spending more than fifteen minutes looking for parking (I live in a big city).

Overuse of shaky cam in a movie (hello, motion sickness!).

Loud commercials.

10. What's your favorite ( cats or dogs), ( coffee or tea), and what's your favorite food?

Cats - I have two.

Tea - particularly, soy chai tea latte and soy thai iced tea.

Japanese (sushi) and Thai
