Judgement Of Souls By: Margarita Felices

Heres a Great Q & A With this Amazing Author. Be sure to check out her facebook page at http:/www.facebook.com/margarita.felices

 

Q: Tell us something about yourself, where you’re based, and how you came to be a writer?

A: I live in Cardiff. For all its modernisation, there are still remnants of old Victorian Cardiff. I love the castle in the centre of the city and the fact that you have the sea on one side and the mountains on the other side of Cardiff.  I couldn’t imagine living anywhere else.   I’ve always loved to write.  My teachers at school used to limit me to no more than ten pages.  I wrote short stories for magazines, it paid my way through college.

 

Q: What genre do you generally write and have you considered other genres?

A: Supernatural stories, they are fun and you can let your imagination run riot.  I wrote a romantic story once as a screenplay.  I might re-write it as a novel one day, I liked the story.

Q: What have you had published to-date? Do you have a favourite of your books or characters?

A: My first novel Judgement of Souls has just been published as an eBook by www.bookstogonow.com and is available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble and Goodreads.  I love Rachel, my main character – she’s strong and independent, but I do admit to having a soft spot for Daniel, the club owner.  I had a few short stories published in a few women’s magazines some years ago. I didn’t keep copies of the magazines but I do have the stories saved.  I re-wrote one of them recently and sent it to BTGN as a short story

Q: Have you had any rejections? If so, how do you deal with them?

A:  Lots and lots. Before I met Jenni at Bookstogonow, I sent the novel off to several agents in the UK and US.  Rejection is all part of the profession, it’s tough each time you get a letter, but you have to put up with it because one day, you’ll get accepted. What isn’t easy is getting a rejection from a publisher who couldn’t be bothered to write you a letter back, just scribbled no thanks at the bottom of your letter! That’s harsh.

Q: Have you won or been shortlisted in any competitions and do you think they help with a writer’s success?

A: They do inspire confidence.   I did come runner-up in a script writing competition, but nothing came from it.  But at least I’d been noticed!

Her best friend tells her of a job in Italy that pays well, when Elena decides to take it and leave for Italy, she is hit with a hard terror, after being blindfolded and drugged,she realises she is now a sex slave.

This is a story that really grabs you and hits you with reality. Sex Slavery and Trafficking is such a horrible crime, yet it is going on everyday and I hope this story will bring more attention to it and make others aware of this awful reality.

The Judging – Reviewed By: Crystal Trent Dotson

By: Ellen C. Maze

Reviewed By: Crystal Trent Dotson

Dr. Mark Coresu was a priest in the 1600’s before being turned into a vampire. Now four centuries later he is a successful Dr. , but when darkness falls he begins his “Judging” of those who have sinned and done evil. He believes by making them repent then killing them , he is serving God. He has done this for so long he believes it’s right and does not question his actions.

He then meets Hope Brannen , who he now thinks God has sent to him to be his mate. Hope falls for him , but knowing his “Judging” isn’t right she turns to Anthony Agricola, to help Mark uncover his past. But will the two of them be able to save his soul or will he be lost forever.

I have read alot of Vampire books and alot of them have the same storyline to them, but I haven’t read anything quite like this before. I love the way that vampirism and christianity are put together with a bold , yet twisted plot. This brings a whole new meaning to Good v/s Evil. The characters are brilliant and exciting.

I know I will soon be reading Damascus Road- The Corescu Chronicles Book Two !

Five Stars and Two Thumbs up !
