More About The Cloak and Author Sarah Jennings
My motivation for writing The Cloak was really a combination of things. I'm a huge fan of smart and determined heroines, and I'd like to see more faith-based ones represented in the genres I've chosen, especially for young adults. It seemed time to share some of the adventures for Kellan, the lead character, that I've had running through my head for a number of years. Also, I specifically wanted to write the book in a way that would allow a reader to finish it in over a few hours' time, just enough for a quick getaway read or for those on the run with a busy schedule.
2. What do you hope readers take with them when they read your book?
Of course, I hope they want to hear more stories, but as for a takeaway it's my desire that readers are able to connect with Kellan and close the book feeling encouraged. Kellan's trials, while not always her fault, often are due to self-doubt, stubbornness, and a quick temper. God uses it all for His greater purpose, and Kellan is happier in the end for it. I wholeheartedly believe He is able to do that with us as well.
3. Do you have a favorite scene?
If I have to pick one scene, I will say the moment when Kellan comes home for the last time. To me, it signals that she has finally come full circle. She rids herself of a false identity and has decided that she won't be chased away from what she loves because of her own insecurities.
4. Share something about you that is unique - maybe about how/where you write... or favorite snack foods?
Some of my ideas for stories come while listening to music in the car. I think all of us should have background music following us around all the time.

Inspirational YA Romantic Suspense
Paperback and ebook, 194 pages
November 2014Paperback and ebook, 194 pages
Among a lost line of beautiful, wise queens and a conquered country still clinging to medieval traditions in today's world, can Kellan be convinced that now is her time to act? Why should she? To the entire country, she doesn't even exist. Ever the reluctant leader, Kellan is pressured to use her incredible God-given abilities to bring back the glory of her homeland. To do so, she must fight her own will, overcome fears, and control her temper. It's a lot to ask of a girl hidden under a cloak her whole life.

I bought a new laptop last year an ASUS with Windows 8 and I have been very happy. I remember when my daughter graduated from high school and the operating system was Vista..oh we had nothing but issues. I have had mine for a year and no problems at all.
ReplyDeleteI like the sound of this one!
ReplyDeleteOne day I will find time to do these challenges. They seem like they really help! Good luck :)
ReplyDeleteI have a big TBR pile I'm trying to get through, but I didn't sign up to participate in the challenge this year. I feel like I'm always doing it anyway. ;)
ReplyDeleteWhen and where will you be posting the winners of your 2nd Blogoversary Celebration giveaways?
ReplyDeleteThey really can if I'm not too bogged down to actually focus on them. :)
ReplyDeleteLol! That was my thing too. I kept going back and forth because I'm so busy and I didn't need to add something as little as just monitoring this or updating links, but I decided to join anyway.
ReplyDeletethanks for the author info and the great excerpt
ReplyDeleteGood to hear. Vista is the worse! So you have adjusted to 8?
ReplyDeleteThe Rafflecopter will post them for me when they're drawn, but with computer issues and other tours and such to keep up with, I haven't been able to get to them. They should be up this week, maybe even tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteYes..but I made chrome my browser choice.
ReplyDeleteChrome is what I use and I have loved the most, so I plan on doing that as well. I appreciate you sharing! Windows 8 will take me a while to adjust to.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Hope you're having a great weekend, in spite of the time change!
