This month in my newsletter (catch up HERE if you missed it) I interviewed Emily Lloyd-Jones about her latest YA fantasy, The Wild Huntress, in which Branwen – a girl who can see and slay monsters – enters the wild hunt to try to win a cure for her mother’s illness, and has to join forces with a trickster and a prince to improve her chances… though she can’t trust anyone in this hunt.
I’ve been a fan of Emily’s books for years, and this latest book set in the same world as The Bone Houses and The Drowned Woods was no exception! After finding out more about The Wild Huntress, I needed more info on the author herself.
Enter the 5 Random Questions!
What’s one talent you have that not many people know about?
I know way too many random facts, because I spend too much time on the internet looking up random history and science.
What is something you’re irrationally afraid of?
Spiders. And mold on food.
What 3 comfort items would you take with you to a desert island?
Coffee, cats, and a phone to call for help. Also then I could listen to audiobooks.
If you could have one superpower for a day, which would you choose and what would you do with it?
I think if I could have a superpower for a day, I would love teleportation! I have so many friends and family scattered around the world, I would love to be able to spend more time with them, even if it was only for a few hours.
Would you rather explore outer space or the bottom of the ocean? Why?
Neither! Both are terrifying! But I would probably choose space instead of the ocean. Have you seen the creatures down there? Nope, nope, absolutely not.
