Meet the Author from our Summer 2024 Quarterly Seasonal Box!
Every season, our Quarterly Seasonal Box delivers a treasure trove of themed items, including a book by an indie author.
Summer 2024 we're featuring A Thieving Curse, by Selina R. Gonzalez.
We cornered her to get her to tell us 5 things about herself... and she was generous enough to tell us SIX things plus an additional 6 facts about the book.
Ready to crack the cover?
Six Facts about Selina, According to Selina.
1. A common theme in my books is: you matter and are more than the ways you have been mistreated or the mistakes you’ve made.
2. I always include some things in my books simply because they make me happy--like cute animals.
3. I didn't set out to write a series of fairy tale retellings. I just had a random idea for marrying my love of dragons and Beauty and the Beast, and then secondary characters demanded their own books.
4. I aim to write books about healthy-but-imperfect couples with some romantic sizzle and without explicit spice.
5. I'm very visual and it tickles me every time someone says my books played out in their head like a movie.
Bonus 6. They say write what you know, and I studied medieval history in college and have lived in Colorado most of my life. So my story worlds have a medieval-inspired base, and the mountains in A Thieving Curse are inspired by the Rockies.
Six Facts about A Thieving Curse
1. Although it's a romance, there's also a strong emphasis on sibling bonds and found family
2. There are cute goats.
3. There's banter!
4. This is a reimagining of Beauty and the Beast rather than a straight retelling, so prepare for twists on the curse's why and how and breaking...
5. Cursed dragon-shifter Alex purrs...literally. Like a "glorified, scaly cat."
Bonus 6: There's initially some very low-key enemies-to-lovers vibes.
