SYNOPSIS:  A thirteen-year-old slave girl lives in the country of Yoan, where slaves aren't allowed proper names, let alone anything else. After being sold by a gambler and bought by a thief, she's freed by an eccentric young noble, about whom many rumors abound. Some say his manor is haunted, his horse can fly, and that he's actually a devil. Now that she's free, Rain must decide what she will do with that new freedom. Her choices will lead her to new friends and many adventures, none of which she could have possibly expected.



What inspired your novel or series? Discuss writing it.

I don't really remember where I got the idea for Seranfyll. I just started with a slave girl who was bought and freed by a handsome nobleman...while he was really drunk. These two intrigued me, so I started writing about them in early 2009. After about 20 pages, I put it aside to work on another book. But I returned in 2010 and finished it off in about three months. After a lot of editing, I released the ebook in May of this year and the paperback in July.

I didn't actually plan on making a series. I've been writing for a while, and I was getting discouraged with the rejections on the traditional front. I figured I would just try putting one of my books out there to see how it would do, and if I got bad reviews straight off the top, I would know that I'm not a good writer and I need to learn how to be better or find something else to do. But I was surprised at how Seranfyll was well-received, and one book blogger said she's looking forward to the coming books in the series. I was like, "Really? You are? I guess I better work on them then." I mean, I had ideas for other books, I just didn't think I was going to write them. I guess I was wrong.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Christina Daley made her first book with neighborhood friends when she was four years old. They "wrote" out some semblance of lettering with crayons, cut up a cardboard box for the cover, and bound it all together with clear adhesive tape. It was brilliant. Quite a few years later, Christina tried her hand at writing a "real" book. SERANFYLL is her first released fiction work. She lives in Dallas, Texas, with a pet plant named Herb.

And... PAY IT FORWARD! Best Indie Author You've Read, Christina Daley!  
 
CHRISTINA DALEY: You! :) I picked up Adventures in Funeral Crashing during the Smashwords summer sale and liked it a lot. It was really fun to read. Another indie author whose work I like is Michelle Isenhoff. I don't make a habit of swapping reviews, but she and I sorta just did, and I liked her book The Candle Star. I thought it was something I would've enjoyed reading in school.
