Author Tania Elizabeth's Starlight mission
Just a few days ago, the wonderfully sweet Tania Elizabeth came to me asking if i would help her raise money for the Starlight children's foundation. Starlight does wonderful work fulfilling wishes for sick children, and i said of course i would!
Tania pledged that for every blog post, interview,basically any form of publicity she receives she will give $1 to The Starlight children's foundation.
And of course Tania is also an author! Below is some info about her book and an interview I conducted with her. Enjoy!
Title: The Tier of Eternal Grace: The Moon Clearing
“She lives of heart through battles of
mind.”
The Tier of Eternal Grace is a captivating fantasy of
magic and passion, wound into the truths of reality that will enchant readers
with its depiction of the faerie realm, and the exploits of the faeries
themselves. Book One of the series The Moon Clearing is an immersive
tale of mysticism and adventure, of spiritual and sensual intent that shall
enrapture your every sense.
SUMMARY
Beyond the boundary that separates the mundane and earthly
planes from the divine lies Eterna Fadas, a place ruled by extraordinary
beings, lithe and human-like in appearance, yet ethereal in their grace and
beauty, and sensuous in nature.
"I have existed always! Where I began I do not know, for
all I know is just as I am today!"
As Queen, Tatiana was thought to have lived a life of opulence,
her faith and beliefs her endearing essence. Why then was it so, that beneath
the picture of perfection laid torments and terrors even she dare not explain.
Being She came with its prices paid. Being She came with a deal; a contract in
which she was to relinquish herself to a rogue of unmerciful fury. Would this
be the end of all she know? Would this be the end of her existence?

Interview:
1. Have you always wanted to be an author?
It
was something in which I had dreamed of for as long back as I can remember.
2. How long have you been writing for?
Writing
has been a part of my almost everyday from the mere age of 11. Though I had
never truly believed in my abilities, or had the courage to live out my dreams
until only 2 years ago. This is when The Tier of Eternal Grace began to mold
into something more than just a vision.
3. How did the inspiration for your book/s
come to you?
My
ideas arose from the desire to write a book that not only enabled the reader to
delve into an enchanting realm of magic, love, betrayal, deceit, every emotion
under the sun. But that also had the reader begin a journey of self discovery
and to learn to love oneself within. As for the faeries, I have had an avid
interest in faeries ever since I was a child.
4. Do you read the same genre that you
write?
Actually,
I’m a girl of who enjoys reading all genres. Though, if I’m honest, my favorite
is fantasy fiction. I love to loose myself within a world of illusion and
originality.
5. Typically, how long does it take you to
finish a book, from conception to editing?
The
first round of written work, which would you believe is always with paper and
pen, generally takes me a couple of months. Now the rewrites and the editing
process, that’s a whole different story.
6. Do people you know inspire your writing?
My
biggest inspiration would be that of my own self. Beyond that would be my three
beautiful children of who inspire me on every level within my life.
7. Which authors have inspired you?
To
begin with, I would have to name, Enid Blyton. For it was her books, The
Adventures of the Faraway Tree and The Wishing Chair in which had me lost in
the fantasy worlds as a child.
The
classical and poetic writings of William Shakespeare.
And,
Florence Scovel Shinn, who wrote the book in which was the catalyst for my own journey
of self love and discovery.
8. Do you have a favorite author/s?
The
answer to that question is one of no end really. Though, if I had to name one,
I would say Dean Mayes. His words of a somewhat poetic influence and his worded
description brings me to the place and time with complete ease.
9. Are there any other books in this
series?
The
Tier of Eternal Grace is a trilogy. So, yes. Book One The Moon Clearing was
released earlier this year. Book Two, The Mirrors Shadow will be launched late
September, and Book Three will make its appearance in the earlier part of 2014.
10. Is your protagonist based on yourself?
Tatiana
Grace is based very much so on the present me. Though both other main female
characters are also aspects of myself. Crystabella for example, being the
young, naive me.
11. What is your goal/wish for your book in
the upcoming year?
As
all authors do, I would hope for it to reach a best sellers list. For myself,
this would also mean my larger dreams of funding other charity organizations
would be brought to life much sooner.
A message from Tania:
STARLIGHT
AUTHOR’S AID
I am asking for all’s assistance.
To give to others is to give to oneself, and
I NEED YOUR HELP!!!
Help us to raise funds for the Starlight Children's Foundation, which supports terminally ill
children and their families.
There are two ways in which people can help.
It is very simple.
