We were fortunate enough here in A Mama's Corner of the World to have author Lola James sit down for an interview with us as a part of the blog tour for her latest book, Bound to You, from the Spellbound series. We love it when we are able to learn more about our favorite authors--in the author's own words!
AMCOTW: What
was your inspiration for the Spellbound Series?
When did you begin writing it? When did you begin Book 3?
Lola James: The Spellbound series came to me randomly. I was on a writing break
from another book and I was looking for something to read with some Greek gods,
I couldn’t find any so I wrote one. I started Bound to Remember in August 2011
and was finished at the end of the month. Book three I started in October of
2012 and wasn’t happy with it so I re-wrote until it was perfect… to me anyway.
AMCOTW: Tell us about the cover art for Bound to You. Who designed it? Why did you choose it?
Lola James: Stephanie at Once Upon a Time Covers made it for me. I design all of
my covers. Every book cover of the Spellbound Series is a scene from the book
and Bound to You is the first scene in chapter one.
AMCOTW: Who is your favorite character from your book and why?
Lola James: I absolutely LOVE Dawn. I sometimes wish that I was a southern belle
and I get to live my fantasy through Dawn. I love her. She is sassy and she
doesn’t take any mess from anyone. But she is still a lady at the end of the
day.
AMCOTW: Who is your least favorite character from Bound to You and why?
AMCOTW: Who is your least favorite character from Bound to You and why?
Lola James: Persephone that was an easy one, she is the villain of the series
and she is relentless. Her tactics make you hate her but that’s why I wrote her
that way. She is the ultimate mean girl.
AMCOTW: Which character, if any, are most like you in
Bound to You?
Lola James: Dawn, I mean minus being a doctor, witch, and a pageant princess.
LOL I put a lot of my no nonsense attitude into her.
AMCOTW: What is something interesting about the Spellbound Series (or this book) that your readers and ours would like to know?
Lola James: The Greek god Hades will shock you in my books… in a good way. It
might be the only time you’ll ever root for the bad guy.
AMCOTW: Tell us a little about Lola James when she is away from writing. What hobbies, talents, and adventures are we most likely to find you involved in when not writing?
AMCOTW: Tell us a little about Lola James when she is away from writing. What hobbies, talents, and adventures are we most likely to find you involved in when not writing?
Lola James: Well I love to skate (like four wheel skate), I bowl, I read more
than I write as of late, I LOVE to travel, I bake sweets, I’m active with yoga,
and I play the piano.
AMCOTW: How can readers contact you or find out more about your books?

Lola James: Facebook is preferred https://www.facebook.com/AuthorLolaJames
AMCOTW: What can your readers expect from you in the future? What projects are you working on?
Lola James: I am wrapping up the second book in another series, Defying Fate. I
am writing my first Mystery and Contemporary romance both I plan on getting out
this year sometime.
AMCOTW: What is most rewarding about your role as an author--and as the author of Bound to You?
Lola James: Having people tell me how much they love my books and telling me to
never stop writing! That helps me on days I lack self-confidence. It is
rewarding to know that my story made someone’s day!
