Author Grace Egert with DiAnn Mills shared a tale that
was such a treat for my imagination!
Arroah, the main character, is one I respect and
appreciate. She is strong, adventurous and curious. Though this is a
middle-grade fantasy don’t be mistaken—this is definitely a story that keeps
the reader tuning pages. The author wrote concerns, crisis and secrets in just
the right places! I thought to myself umpteen times that I hoped that this
would be a series!
Grace’s imagination and talent unite with her
grandmother’s expertise and together they created a memorable tale. The
characters were different and unique, which caused me to care about what would
happen to them. This new world and society that Grace created was interesting
and hooked me from the start!

Questions for Grace:
1) If
you had a choice between eating chocolate pudding, riding a bike or writing the
sequel to this story – which would it be and why? Definitely, writing the second book. Because it’s a big project and you
can stop and start when you want. Better than getting fat or riding a bike in
the hot sun.
2) When
you realized your dream to write “The Eye of Lariloth” with your grandma was
actually going to happen—what did you think or how did you react? I was excited and had bragging rights with
my friends. But I was only 8, and I didn’t realize how much work would go into
the book.
3) Do
you like to write your story on napkins, paper or just type it on the computer?
I’d brainstorm and write on a piece of
paper but the final draft on the computer.
Questions for DiAnn:
1) Was writing a book with family one of your
hopes and dreams? (It is mine!) I’d
never thought about it until Grace brought it up. So glad she did!
2) How
has Grace inspired you? (We know you are an inspiration, DiAnn!) Her enthusiasm and imagination. Her mind
has no limits to what could happen in a story.
3) What
do you find most interesting about how this tale came about? I believe it was Grace’s determination to
make this book happen even when it took 3 years.
4) How
do you wish your readers to contact you and Grace? Through my email: diann@diannmills.com
Thank you, Grace and DiAnn for your efforts in
creating this new world to explore! I look forward to reading the next book you
write.
I highly recommend this read. I did purchase this
story on my Kindle and I received a book from Grace and DiAnn. I always only
give my honest reaction and I’m happy to direct you to this adventuresome story
of courage, sacrifice and victory! Enjoy!
Grace and I thank you!
