Interview with Freya Lange
Why did you write
this book?
this book?
For me, spring is the time to say “yes” to new things; I couldn’t think
of anything I wanted to do more this spring than write with my friends. We
started with a basic theme of “summer” so we could all write to our own
strengths and interests while still putting out a fun anthology for new readers.
For many of the authors who contributed, they had no experience publishing a
story as an eBook. I saw it as a good way to for some of my friends, who are all
amazing storytellers, to not only reach a new audience for their writing but
also to dip their toes into publishing on Amazon.

When I pitched the idea of this
anthology to the authors involved, I wasn’t prepared for the overwhelmingly
enthusiastic reaction. When I step back to see it in context, though, it make
perfect sense. Like kids writing home from summer camp, we’re straining at the
seams to contain all the things we want to tell you about what we’re learning
and getting to do, about all our wonderful new friends and their amazing
talents.

In Hot Summer Reads, it is, without
a doubt, Jesse from “Keys To the Sun,” by Shea Mara. If you’re not in love with
Jesse halfway through that story, something is broken inside of you and
rattling around like a quarter in an empty washing machine.

In other books, I never get tired
of reading about John Childermass from Susanna Clarke’s Jonathan Strange &
Mr. Norrell. I love his combination of practical and mysterious.

From me, personally, readers can
catch a new story from me every Monday. I call them Little Black Dresses
because they’re short, hot, and perfect for the right occasion. Every month I
pick a different theme to write about so I can keep my imagination fresh and respond
to what readers tell me they want to see. I’m also working on some longer books
for readers who like their paranormal heroines to be more in charge of their
own destinies – look for the first book of the Alphas’ Omega series later this
month.
