Today, Stacey Marie Brown, author Darkness of Light is stopping by for an interview as part of her blog tour! Check out her Q & A below, and be sure to enter the giveaway!
DARKNESS OF LIGHT is a Mature YA/New Adult Paranormal Romance
Freak. Witch. Crazy. Schizo.
Ember Brycin has been called them all. She’s always known she’s different. No one has ever called her normal, even under the best circumstances. Bizarre and inexplicable things continually happen to her, and having two different colored eyes, strange hair, and an unusual tattoo only contributes to the gossip about her.
When the latest school explosion lands her in a facility for trouble teens, she meets Eli Dragen, who’s hot as hell and darkly mysterious. Their connection is full of passion, danger, and secrets. Secrets that will not only change her life, but what and who she is—leading her down a path she never imagined possible.
Between Light and Dark, Ember finds a world where truth and knowledge are power and no one can be trusted. But her survival depends on finding out the truth about herself. In her pursuit, she is forced between love and destiny and good and evil, even when the differences between them aren’t always clear. At worst, she will incite a war that could destroy both worlds. At best, she will not only lose her heart but her life and everyone she loves. Once the truth is out, however, there will be no going back. And she’ll definitely wish she could.

Are you working on something new? Can you tell us what’s coming next?
My next book in the Darkness Series, Fire in the Darkness, will be coming out in Fall, 2013. The first draft is finished and is now being edited. I am extremely excited about the next one. I personally feel it is even better that the first. There is so much going on. There is a lot of action and you do learn more about each character. There will be four books total in the series.
What is your dream cast for your book?
Look at my Pinterest board and see my inspiration! I also have a shortened version of it on my website. It’s a tough day at the office when you have to do research on hot male leads . . .
Is there a song you could list as the theme song for your book or any of your characters?
There are a couple of songs that really get me in the writing mood for the Darkness Series: “Killing the Light”-B.R.M.C, “Everlasting Light”-The Black Keys, “Howl”-Florence & The Machine, “White Rabbit”-Jefferson Airplane, “Slow Life”-Grizzly Bear, and Eli’s theme song “Run Right Back”-The Black Keys. When I want to get in the mood for a fight scene I put on “Seven Nation Army”- The White Stripes. That song gets me so pumped.
What is your guilty pleasure?
I love watching shows about ghosts like the Dead Files or The Ghost Adventures. I freak myself out, but I can’t stop watching them!
What TV show/movie/book is your guilty pleasure?
My guilty pleasure TV show used to be Vampire Diaries, but I got a tad bored with it as of late and find myself more looking forward to Nashville and Scandalous. The movie would be anything with Chris Hemsworth in it! Thor…oh yeah. The book would be hard to narrow down to just one. If I had to, it would probably be Chicagoland Vampires Series by Chloe Neill.
Do you have any hobbies? Writing doesn’t count!
Then I just became extremely boring. I don’t really have other “hobbies.” On my downtime from writing I read, hike, hang out with friends, volunteer, watch movies, and travel whenever possible.
If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go, and why?
Traveling is a huge passion of mine and I’ve been lucky to have traveled in many different countries. I do have a list of places I want to go next—Turkey, Russia, and Africa. My last trip I went to Croatia, Bosnia, Slovenia, and Portugal (to visit my friend). My trips always have a stopover in London. I lived there for over 5 years so I have friends I really miss there.
What drew you to writing this genre?
I’ve always loved fantasy. It has always been my preferred genre to read and write in. When I was a kid I would make up these elaborate fantasy/Goonie-type of stories. I haven’t lost that and still want to be a part of those worlds. I don’t know if I could write a book without it having some element of fantasy.
Are you a social butterfly or a wallflower?
A little of both. There are times, especially with my friends, that I can be extremely outgoing; and other times I can be very shy and reserved. When I am comfortable around a group, I tend to be more outgoing than shy.
Where is your favorite place to write?
A café. There are a couple I frequent a lot. If I stay home, I never get much accomplished. Granted I get to stay in my pjs but I tend to get very easily distracted.
