AMANDA BOUCHET   INTERVIEW PART 2 Character Interview Hi Cat! Hi Griffin! How are you both doing? Griffin: Hello. Well, we’re somewhat tired. Taking over the world is hard work. Cat: Don’t listen to His Grumpiness. We’re great. I’m the Queen. We’re about to become parents. Actually, I’m kind of terrified. And excited. Good Gods…there’s a lot to think about. I love your love story, and I must say you two are always so busy! Always doing amazing, heroric things! You two are awesome!! So what do you like to do on the days when you get to relax? Cat: What does she mean, relax? Griffin: That’s what we do when we’re in bed. Cat: Are you sure? Griffin (chuckles): I’m talking about the sleeping part. Cat: Ah, okay. Because the rest is pretty…ahem…athletic. Griffin: I enjoy swordplay. Cat (rolls eyes): Now that was a bad pun. Griffin (scowls): Get your mind out of the gutter, wife.

AMANDA BOUCHET   INTERVIEW PART 1 Hi Amanda!! Thank you so much for doing this! You always write creative, magical stories that always have me in awe. Where do you get your ideas from?

SYNOPSIS  The riveting conclusion to the Kingmaker Chronicles, available January 2018! Who is Catalia Fisa? With the help of pivotal figures from her past, Cat begins to understand the root of her exceptional magic, her fated union with Griffin Sinta, and Griffin's role in shaping her destiny. Only Cat holds the key to unlocking her own power, and that means finally accepting herself, her past, and her future in order to protect her loved ones, confront her murderous mother, and taking a final, terrifying step--reuniting all three realms and taking her place as the Queen of Thalyria. What doesn't kill her will only make her stronger...we hope. REVIEW Heart on Fire is one of my most  Anticipated reads of 2018 so when I got the chance to read this book early I was so excited. I have been hooked on The Kingmaker  Chronicles Series  ever since I read  the  very first page of  Promise of Fire so you can just...
