Ep 131: Nicole Pouchet on Annie's Defiance

Join Angela Lauria as the interviews author Nicole Pouchet on the publishing of her book, Annie's Defiance. 

Annie's Defiance is the third book of Nicole's Elemental Myths series, so the topic was pretty set even before she started writing the book. She simply focused on the motivations of her characters and the story tells itself, as she put it. 

Inspired by ancient Incan culture, the book is a paranormal romance involving a prophecy and powers over the elements. She equates the time she devoted to writing the book to life energy spent wisely since being an author is her passion, first and foremost. For Nicole, there's this thrill in finishing a book, even when there's a system or structure to the process. "Maybe I’m a type-A person to thrive with structure," she said, "but I couldn’t write a book without deadlines, editorial rules, etc." 

She credits Difference Press for giving her lifelong habits that help to ensure that she can finish every book that she starts.
