Ending Fear

Which character was your favorite to write, and why?

Fear, my MC. Because she’s a broken gal who grows and becomes someone pretty cool.

What are 3 things you can’t live without?

Oxygen, water, food.

What can I say, I’m very practical.

What are 3 things you’d have to have when marooned on an island?

Water, food, shelter.

Okay, I’m definitely in a practical mood. Can you tell?

What is currently on your nightstand?

SO MANY BOOKS. Seriously. I have a horrible habit of starting a new book, not finishing it and starting on a new one. I do this constantly. It takes a very talented author to hold my attention (squirrel!!!!!!!) long enough for me to finish a book.

What book are you currently reading?

See above answer.

What are you currently watching on Netflix?

I just finished Reign and started dabbling back into an old show I had only seen the first two seasons. Switched at Birth. Not sure if I’ll stick with it to finish the next two seasons though. As much as I love this show I get bored far too easily. I’m REALLY looking forward to season two of Stranger Things and the OA.

Favorite Starbucks drink?

I have yet to find the perfect Starbucks drink.

What does a typical day of writing look like for you?

Writing, chaos, writing, chores, writing, more chaos, kids, kids, kids, and maybe more writing.

Current 4 favorite things:

Things?! Oh man, that’s awfully broad.

At the moment? My Emotion Thesaurus (no writer should live without one). Walks around a lake.

Clean countertops. Good music.

More about Ending Fear:

41K2Ahqh5MLFourteen-year-old Fear learns she was a parachute baby, dumped over the edge of the Gliding Lands as an infant. Fascinated by the floating cities in the sky before, now she’s desperate for answers.

But a slave isn’t likely to get those answers.

When her abusive Downer family throws her from their hovel, Fear takes refuge with a family who shows her love for the first time. Surely they can’t be trusted. Years of abuse and molestation has taught her that.

Then her brother discovers where she’s hiding and tries to kidnap her. Fear will never let him touch her again. Her new family conceals her at the Fallen, a ranch that hides parachute babies from the Uppers who discarded them.

Just as she’s beginning to embrace yet another home, Fear’s new little sister, Happy, is kidnapped and taken to the Uppers’ temple harem. Fear must go against her namesake, find a working hoverpod, and journey to the dreaded Gliding Lands before the little girl’s innocence is ripped from her forever.

Can she save Happy in time?

And will she find answers to the burning question of why anyone would throw her away?

While Deanna Fugett isn’t writing or connecting with others via social media, she can be found dancing around the kitchen with her four kids. She has a dog named Westley, a cat named Buttercup, some rabbits, two rats, a parakeet, and some newly acquired chickens. She resides in the Denver area with her high-school-sweetheart-husband of fifteen years, who thinks they live on a farm. (They don’t.)

She secretly enjoys writing more than reading. (Author blasphemy!) Deanna has an endless TBR list, and has numerous books she’s started reading lying around the house, none of which she can find time to finish. (Four kids and constant chaos will do that to you.)

Deanna is off-the-wall excited about her debut novel coming out with Love2ReadLove2Write Publishing on July 18th 2017, a YA Dystopian novel called Ending Fear. It’s the first novel in the Gliding Lands series. She really hopes you will enjoy every second of it.
