Nita Wick

1. Hi Nita. Thanks for taking the time to share your news and views with us. So, tell us about your latest release.

My latest release is called In the Gloaming. It’s an anthology of five faerie stories written by five authors. My story is The Dream.

2. Ooh, tell us a bit about your story ‘The Dream’

Lost in one of Scotland's enchanted forests, a sleeping Katie dreams of trolls,
faeries, and her fantasy lover. And never has a dream felt so real.

3. Magical! Where is this book available?

In the Gloaming is available at Freya’s Bower. (Purchase link: http://www.freyasbower.com/content/view/368/77/ )

4. Do you have a review you’d like to share with us?

We’ve had three wonderful reviews so far. It’s hard to pick which one is best. Our latest review was from Dark Diva Reviews. Eliza awarded 5 Delightful Divas and named In the Gloaming a “Recommended Read.” She said, “All of these authors did a superb job in writing such vivid adventures that I felt I was right there in the middle of it.” Here’s a link to her review: http://darkdivareviews.webs.com/fantasy.htm#181680457 And if you’d like to read about the other two reviews, you can find quotes and links here: http://www.nitawick.com/itgreviews.htm

5. Have you written any other books or currently writing one?

I have a novella called How Faerie Dust is Made currently available at The Wild Rose Press. This is book one of The Roscommon Faerie Tales. Here’s a short blurb:
A colony of faeries lives among the lush green forests of Roscommon, Ireland near the Arigna Mountains. Their lives would be peaceful were it not for the humans who live in the area with them. The humans dislike faeries and their magic, and the two races are often at odds. But faerie or human, love makes no distinction. And both will soon find that love is the greatest magic of all.

Conall may be human, but he is Aisling’s life mate. She’s certain of it. After all, a faerie knows these things. Can her magic end the feud between their families? And just how is faerie dust made?

You can purchase that one here: http://www.thewildrosepress.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=677

Part two of the faerie tales is in progress and will hopefully be completed soon. I also have a western historical novel entitled The Wagonmaster that should release around the end of the year at Freya’s Bower.

6. What inspires you to write about Faeries?

I’ve always been fascinated by tales faeries, elves, mermaids, and other mythical creatures. With faerie stories I can let my imagination run wild.

7. Do you believe in Faeries?

You’ll probably think I’m crazy, but I honestly do believe in faeries. I don’t know if faeries are really like Tinkerbell with wings and faerie dust, but I believe God made more than just humans. And I believe there is far more to this world of ours than what our five senses reveal to us.

8. What do you hope readers gain from reading one of your stories?

Enjoyment. When a reader finishes one of my stories, I want them to sigh with the contentment only a happily-ever-after can provide. I’m a hopeless romantic.

9. How about a writing tip for aspiring authors?


Don’t try to write for the current trend. By the time you get the story finished, the trend will likely have changed anyway. Write what you love. Your passion will show in your story. It’s that passion that sells a manuscript. And it’s that passion that makes your story memorable.

10. And finally, where can we find out more about you?
