There was an author interview with debut novelist Rachel Hobbs on the Hasty Book List site recently. The first question was, "Which author do you draw inspiration from?" And, well, I don't think anyone's going to be expecting a prize if they guess what her answer was... :-) :-) :-) You can check out the full interview by clicking on the following link:

If the name of Rachel Hobbs seems familiar to some of you, and you're scratching your head, wondering where you've heard it before... then you've probably read one or more of my Darren Dash books for adults. Because before her foray into novels, Rachel was a keen blogger who wrote reviews of my Dash books, and I've featured a few quotes from her on the covers and Amazon pages. I'm delighted she's made the leap to being a published author, as I know she's been building up to this for a long time, and I always love it when a fan of my books soldiers on through the rocky years (we pretty much ALL face rocky years) and goes on to release work of their own. If you'd like to check out Rachel's novel, Shadow-Stained, you can find it on Amazon (I'm sure it's on sale through other Amazon stores around the world too, if not elsewhere) here: https://www.amazon.com/Shadow-Stained-Stones-Power-Rachel-Hobbs/dp/1527257967/
