Hi all,
Today I am talking with Rebekkah Ford, author of the
supernatural/paranormal novel Beyond The Eyes, the first book in
the series. Rebekkah has an interesting background with the paranormal which
she shares with us in her interview.
Tell
us a little about yourself
I’ve been writing stories since I was a kid,
and I’ve always been fascinated with the paranormal world. I don’t take things
at face value, though. I’ve learned that from my dad when he did his paranormal
investigations. I seek the truth in everything. If something is unexplained,
yet there’s a possibility it can be true or exist, I keep an open mind about
it.
Can
you tell us a little about your debut novel Beyond
the Eyes?
It’s basically about good versus evil, but
it’s not linear. It’s packed full with everything: romance, love triangle,
heartache, horror, friendship, humor, mystery and suspense. It also shows Paige
having to deal with her emotional baggage that’s been weighing on her heart
since her father died when she was four. But she has to in order to move onto
the next phase in her life.
When a ghostly voice whispers a haunting
message to seventeen-year-old Paige Reed, her life takes a nightmarish turn,
changing it forever.
This book, along with the other two in this
series throws light on some of life’s darker mysteries.
Have you ever wondered why some people are
vicious? Have you ever wondered if they had a soul? What if they were soulless
and malevolent entities were able to possess them? Paige discovers the answers
to those questions and more.
Your
parents investigated UFO sightings, ghost hauntings and Bigfoot sightings when
you were growing up. How did their activities inspire your writing about the
paranormal?
The stories, experience, and mystery of the
paranormal world is what inspires my writing. I’m fortunate enough to have
grown up in that environment because my knowledge, experience and interest in
the unknown is what aids me in my stories. It also fuels my imagination, which
is great.
Your
job as a paranormal/supernatural writer is to scare the reader. Do you
sometimes scare yourself when you're writing?
Do
you have a "day" job? If so, when do you find time to write?
Yes, I do have a day job, and I write every
chance I get. I get up an hour early every morning and write, and then I write
in the evenings and on the weekends.
Beyond the Eyes is Book One in a series.
When do you expect to publish Book Two?
Probably at the beginning of 2013.
Are
you working on any other ideas for novels aside from this series?
No, but I do have a character and an opening
scene that keeps pestering me. I do plan on writing more books after this
series. The next one will probably be a stand alone novel.
What
books and authors do you enjoy reading?
I actually have quite a few:
1984 by George Orwell. Interview With
Vampire, The Vampire Lestat, Queen Of The Damned, and The Witching Hour by Anne
Rice. The Stand by Stephen King. All of the Harry Potter books by JK Rowling.
Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater and The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins.
Is
there anything else you'd like to tell your readers?
I just want to thank my readers for their
support. There are no words that can convey how deeply I appreciate them.

Book Description:
Paige knows evil exists in this
world, but she never imagined it would want something from her.
After a ghostly voice whispers a haunting message to seventeen-year-old Paige Reed, Paige’s life takes a nightmarish turn. Unwilling to tell her friends about the supernatural occurrences happening in her life, Paige feels more alone than ever–until she meets Nathan Caswell.
Nathan is not only hot, but seems to peer into Paige’s soul, evoking a magnetic energy between them that cannot be denied. But he’s no ordinary guy. He tracks dark spirits, and becomes alarmed when they set their sights on Paige.
And then there are the two power-hungry dark spirits who believe Paige can find King Solomon’s magical ring for them, because when her father was alive, he was close to finding it. If Paige doesn’t comply with their demands, they’ll kill her.
Paige is forced to dig deep into her father’s past and unearths shocking secrets about him and his bloodline. With the past and present colliding, Paige is only sure about two things in her life: she needs to outwit the dark spirits to stay alive, and she’s completely and helplessly in love with Nathan.
