Interview: Jessie Harrel author of "Destined"



Interview with Jessie Harrell
 Author of: Destined

Alaiel: Thanks a lot for the interview, Jessie, I’m so glad you accepted!

Questions about yourself.-

Alaiel: Tell us a little bit about yourself.
Jessie: I wish I was more interesting, but I’m pretty much your typical bookworm. Studied hard through high school and college. Went to law school, did the whole big firm thing, left to go to a tiny firm (so much better!) and I’m raising kids with my amazing hubby while trying to squeeze in writing time when I can. I LOVE to travel and spent six weeks in Greece when I was in college. I’ve actually been to some of the places in Destined.

Alaiel: What is your favorite book? Why?
Jessie: At this moment, "Where She Went" by Gayle Forman. All I can say is that is was AWESOME. The emotions were real and raw and it made me feel on so many different levels.

Alaiel: Where is your favorite place to write?
Jessie: I love when I have the time to go somewhere like a coffee shop, but really, there’s no bad place to write. If I’m writing, I’m happy.

Alaiel: When you are blocked what do you do?
Jessie: Research. I’m usually stumped because I don’t know the answer to a question. Once I get the answer, ideas click into place.

Book Review: Destined



Destined

by Jessie Harrell
Release date: 17th November, 2011
Publisher: Mae Day Publishing
Edition: ebook given by the author in exchange for an honest review

Summary from Goodreads:

When Psyche receives a prophecy gone horribly wrong, she learns that even the most beautiful girl in Greece can have a hideous future. Her fate? Fall in love with the one creature even the gods fear.

As she feels herself slipping closer into the arms of the prophecy, Psyche must choose between the terrifyingly tender touch she feels almost powerless to resist and the one constant she's come to expect out of life: you cannot escape what is destined.

Destined is a fresh and heartachingly romantic retelling of the Cupid & Psyche myth from debut novelist, Jessie Harrell.
