Anna del C. has published eleven book to this date. Her
Elf series, from where these audiobooks come, was her first attempt to write in
a language foreign to her own. Trouble in the Elf City is Book Two of her
Silent Warrior Trilogy. She lives in Taylorsville, Utah with her husband of
thirty-nine years and her cat Honey. She has received many Awards for her books
and stories she has written.
Welcome
to my blog, Anna. I'm quite impressed with Audible and have listened to several
audiobooks through this Amazon company. It's so easy because I have the app
downloaded on my smartphone. I just put on my earphones and listen. Please tell
us about your audiobook, Trouble
in the Elf City. What is it
about?
To Achieve Peace, War is
Oftentimes Inevitable...
In
the serene and beautiful city of the elfs, life has changed but little since
Menarm was destroyed and the war ended. Three springs have passed and Adren,
the last princess of Menarm, has settled into her new life. Her champion, the
Silent Warrior, has not been seen since the battle at Wilapond.
One
day the peaceful life in her new kingdom is challenged by enemies the elfs are
unable to fight. Disaster seems imminent for their whole race. Adren will have
to witness the destruction of this kingdom and once again find herself alone in
the world or the Silent Warrior could rescue them all. But, how can they asked
him to protect them from an enemy he begged the elf to destroy?
I love your book cover. Where
did you get your inspiration for this story?
When I
finished The Elf and the Princess, the characters kept putting different scenes
into my mind until one day I just sat down and pieced them all together. The
Elfs wanted my readers to know that they were proud of the fact that no one has
ever attacked their fair city. And they wanted to give us a warning...
complacence tends to make one careless and set all one holds dear in
danger.
Tell
me about the main character and what you love about her?
Adren,
as half-elf/half-mankind, is the best of both worlds. She has the finesse of
the elfs and the knowledge of mankind which makes her strong and powerful. She
isn't intimidated by anyone yet she keeps her femininity to show us that both
can exist at the same time. She is respected, honored and loved by the elfs and
she is feared and respected by mankind. All in all, she maintains a good
balance with the talents life has given her.
Tell
us about the narrator. Does he use different voices?
George
Tintura, is the narrator of my elf series. http://www.GeorgeTintura.com
He has
a minor in music and a perfect ear. George is the only one I know who bought a
tuning fork just to turn around and tune it himself. His excuse... "it
wasn't tuned perfectly." He is the author of the beautiful music and voice
in some of my book trailers, like book one of The Silent Warrior Trilogy, “The
Elf and the Princess.”
He does
a great job with the many characters in the stories and Trouble in the Elf City
has many characters entwined in its pages. He makes a table where he puts the
name of the character and who he wants them to sound like. Usually he molds the
voices of my characters to those of an actor or actress with whom he is familiar.
That
is so interesting. In other words, a narrator has to remember what voices he or
she uses throughout the book. Where is your website and blog so my readers can
