Q&A with Sabrina Locke

 

 

 

This is a great big world you’ve introduced us to. Scary and intriguing at the same time. Did you know what you were getting into when you started the story?

 

I never think I’m going to create a big world, but that’s generally what happens every time I open a blank screen and start making stuff up. The story grew from the premise of a young woman determined to get back something she’d lost. I wrote it without an outline or, as some people refer to the process, into the dark. Occasionally, I’d pause to take notes. It was only then that I realized there was nothing small about the story scope.

 

Is there a common thread that runs through all of your writing?

 

My knee-jerk response is to say, “Why no, of course not.” But that’s probably because I’m too close. I do think there’s a consistent voice in my work that’s a bit dark and gritty. I also find myself writing often about loss and redemption. In my own reading and movie/TV watching, I love stories about characters in extreme situations.

 

Any works in progress?

 

I’m currently working on a novel titled, The Breaking. It’s a fantasy/Otherworld novel that will be released in late spring or early summer. On the drawing board are plans for a series of novels based on Fallan, Alden and Finn from The First to Fall.

 

How can readers find out more about you?

 

Not easily at the moment. However, as soon as The Breaking is released, I’ll be setting up a website along with the usual social media contacts.
