Interview with Tayloranne Worley, Author of The Usher of Spring (Blood of the Seasons Book 1)

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write The Usher of Spring (Blood of the Seasons Book 1)?

The inspiration for this book struck me during my honeymoon in Alaska. The breathtaking landscapes captivated me, and I longed to write a story that reflected that untamed beauty. I grew up reading greek and norse mythology, and I decided to create a book that has both! The whole premise of my story was inspired by the legend of Prometheus!

What’s your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?

I love reading YA and Adult fantasy and romantasy. And yes it is the same genre as I write!

What books are on your TBR pile right now?

Oh! Eight! My current read is Sea of Flames by Anneliese Peters!

What scene in your book was your favorite to write?

Honestly the opening scene of the book. I love how I set up the world.

Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)

I always have a candle lit while I write! And even though I do not understand french, I have french pop songs playing as I write- not understanding the lyrics helps me focus.

Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?

The world is your oyster. Don’t let anyone, or yourself, hold you back!

If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?

It is that not all series promise a happy ending, but all curses can be broken.
