Author Interview
Author Q&A
Welcome
Michelle & thanks for answering some quick questions for the blog.
1. Favourite author?
That’s
such a hard one. There are so many awesome authors out there. Probably Terry
Pratchett in terms of knowing that I will enjoy any book that I pick up.
2. What genres of book do you enjoy reading?
I read
fairly widely. I’ve enjoyed mysteries, horror, lots. Lately, I’ve been a little
more focused on romance novels. With those, I generally prefer paranormal,
sci-fi, fantasy or dystopian.
3. Do you remember the first book you ever owned? And if so what
was it?
We had
a heap of Enid Blyton books, but my earliest ever book memory was a book series
called Mark and Michelle adventures. Because it was about an older brother,
Mark (like my own brother), and the younger sister, Michelle. For years, I
thought the series was about me.
4. Name your top 3 most loved books.
Lord
of the Rings. It’s the book series I’ve read the most often. The More trilogy
by T.M. Franklin is awesome, and one of the more recent books I’ve read
multiple times. Looking for Alibrandi is a book I haven’t read in the longest
time, but which I have very fond memories of.
5. Name your top 3 favourite movies/TV shows based on a book/series.
Warm
bodies is definitely up there. I would say that the movie was actually better
than the book (*gasp* I know). Does Red Dwarf count? I think it kind of went
the other way, was a TV show first. The Hunger Games movies have been pretty
awesome. The Twilight movies aren’t necessarily the best movies of all time,
but I’ve met some awesome friends out of it
6. These books deal with the supernatural, so I wonder
what supernatural creature you think would be an ideal date?
To
date? Wow that’s a hard one. I could name quite a few *not* to date. Maybe a
fae, especially a fae like the ones in Through the Fire. Something tells me
they’d make an awesome date.
7. Tell us what
you’re reading right now.
I know
it’s really bad, but I am actually between books right now. I’ve most recently
finished Twelve, the last book in the More trilogy.
8. If you could visit a literary location anywhere in the
world, where would it be?
Not
sure if it’s really regarded as literary, but I would love to go to the East
Meadow of Central Park and stand in the spot where the fae court is in the
Daughter of Fire books.
Thanks for having me.

About the Author
Michelle Irwin
Michelle Irwin has been many things in her life: a hobbit taking a precious item to a fiery mountain; a young child stepping through the back of a wardrobe into another land; the last human stranded not-quite-alone in space three million years in the future; a young girl willing to fight for the love of a vampire; and a time-travelling madman in a box. She achieved all of these feats and many more through her voracious reading habit. Eventually, so much reading had to have an effect and the cast of characters inside her mind took over and spilled out onto the page.
Michelle lives in sunny Queensland in the land down under with her surprisingly patient husband and ever-intriguing daughter, carving out precious moments of writing and reading time around her accounts-based day job. A lover of love and overcoming the odds, she primarily writes paranormal and fantasy romance.
