Today on AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT FRIDAY!..... Claudia Sobreira Lemes!
Can you tell us a little about yourself?
I am a Brazilian writer, who grew up living in different places, including Egypt, for six years. Two months ago I decided to publish m...y trilogy, written over ten years ago, mostly because my beta readers were putting pressure on me. I am also a professional translator and interpreter, and teach English to private students because I adore being a teacher.
Can you tell us about your newest book?
My trilogy is written in English and is now getting a Portuguese translation. It is about a family in a small town in Texas and the secrets they hide. A young woman gets caught up in their curse of death, ill-fated love triangles and tragedies when she arrives in town, trying to escape her husband, a mob boss. The book has been getting nothing but five-star reviews and enthusiastic fans, who are praising its real, sexy and violent plot and fresh, deep characters. I am developing a solid reader base and couldn't be happier about it. The first two volumes are out, and people are writing to me from different countries, asking for the last one.
Do you have any tips for aspiring writers?
I think my only tip for them is to study- the changes in the publishing world and how new writers can benefit from them, the topics they are writing about, the language, the past and the future. And the old, but true cliché of believing in themselves, always.
