Interview with Fae: Main Character Monday

Interview with Fae: Main Character Monday

As I promised on Friday, today is a special Main Character Monday. Today, I have the pleasure of hosting an interview with Fae from Rendersella. While Fae may not be the true main character of this wonderful fairy-tale retelling, she’s definitely a character you want to get to know. If I could, I’d invite her over for tea and a nice long talk on the front porch swing. Well, I would if I had a front porch swing and it wasn’t so incredibly hot outside.

First, let’s get business out of the way. Rendersella is the newest release from author, Amy R. Anguish. It released last week from Scrivenings Press and is the first in a new series of fairy tale retellings. It was a quick read. I finished it in a day. And it has all the hallmarks of a great fairy tale. You can find out why by checking out my First Line Friday review.

Now, on to the important stuff. My interview with Fae. Welcome, Fae to Main Character Monday. Please help me kick off this interview by sharing a little bit about yourself.

Well, there’s not much to tell really. I just an old woman. I live next door to Ella and her stepmother and stepsister. Have known Ella all her life. It’s why I tend to keep an eye on her a bit, you know? She’s sort of like a granddaughter.

Honorary family is a wonderful blessing. I’m sure Ella appreciates that. Tell me something about you that readers may find surprising?

Well, even though I’m old, I’m not dead. So, last Bridge Day, I parachuted off of New River Gorge Bridge. I figure God didn’t give us mountains if He didn’t mean for us to enjoy them in every way. And gravity did most of the work.

While I appreciate the outlook on life, I’ll leave the adventurous stuff like jumping from bridges to you! What is your favorite book of the Old Testament?

This may sound weird, but I love Judges. It shows over and over again that even when we make mistakes—including the same ones again and again—God will still hear us when we cry and come rescue us. Plus, it has that fun side story of Jael and the tent peg. 😉

That is a fun one to read and share with others. Is there a book of the Bible you have trouble getting through?

Well, that’s a mighty hard question to answer. No one really wants to admit they have parts they struggle with, but those laws in Leviticus sometimes make my eyes heavy. And the parts with the long lists of names … well, I think God understands if we skim those on our way to the more exciting parts.

And, again, I love your outlook. If you could meet anyone from scripture, excluding Jesus, who would it be?

The woman in Proverbs 31. I want to ask her how she does it all.

Come to think of it, that would be nice to know. She seems like a superwoman. Jesus had twelve disciples. Which one are you most like?

Peter. And I’ll just leave it at that.

Jesus says we are to be His light in the world. What does this mean to you?

I suppose it’s just like I was talking about with Ella. I remind her of God’s love and how she’s made just the way He wants her. But it’s also the way I act toward her stepfamily, who aren’t always very nice—when I treat them as Christ would treat them instead of saying what I really want to say.

Sometimes that is a hard battle. I’ve known people like that myself. If you could leave readers with one message, what would it be?

Dreams really can come true, but you have to believe in yourself and in the abilities God blessed you with. He doesn’t make mistakes.

Beautiful. I think we can all do with that reminder from time to time. Now, I’d like to ask you some lighthearted questions. If you could have a superpower, what one would you choose?

Well, I’ve already basically flown. And I don’t want to read minds, no way. Maybe super strength. That could come in handy when Rufus hides behind the sofa right before a vet appt.

If offered the opportunity would you choose to travel in space?

I suppose you think from my earlier answers I’ll say yes to this, but I think there’s more than enough adventures to be had right here on this planet without having to go looking for more out there.

Dark or Milk Chocolate? Both

Roses or Daisies? Roses

Salad or Soup? Soup

And now for my last question. This one can trip you up, if you’re not careful. Amy R. Anguish wrote Ella’s story in Rendersella. So, really, she wrote parts of yours too. In three words, and only three, how would you describe Amy R. Anguish.

 Beautiful, talented, romantic

Great choices. Fae, I want to thank you again for allowing me a few minutes today. Readers, I know you’ve enjoyed this interview with Fae, but we’re not done yet. Keep reading to find out more about Amy R. Anguish and her newest book, Rendersella. Also, if you have any questions for Amy or Fae, feel free to leave them in the comments. They’d love to hear from you.

More About Rendersella

A pumpkin, a shoe, and a step-sister … real life is no fairy tale.

Ella dreams of her artwork on display in the famous Prince Gallery, but working for her stepmother leaves her eking out sporadic minutes to draw or paint. When her stepsister steals her drawing and claims it as her own, Ella fears she’s lost her chance.

Chaz Prince wants more responsibility at his family’s gallery, but first he must prove he can handle it. Chaz talks his dad into a contest to bring in some new artists, sure this will be exactly what the gallery needs. When he stumbles across Ella’s piece, he not only wants the artwork, but wishes to know the artist.

At the gala to celebrate the contest winners, Ella is determined to let them know the artwork is hers, but time is against her. And where did her shoe end up?
