How long have you been writing?
Since I was a kid, probably 8 years old.
Do the characters all come to you at the same time or do some of them come to you as you write?
The main 2 or 3 characters usually come to me at almost the same time. More characters come to me as I plan the novel; then more come to me as I write the novel. It’s rare that more characters come to me as I edit, though I wouldn’t rule it out. Each time I write a book the process changes a little.
Do you see writing as a career?
I do see writing as a career!
Do you prefer to write in silence or with noise? Why?
I like to brainstorm and plan my novels with pop music, same when I write my first drafts. When I edit, I like to listen to Baroque classical music, or have silence.
Do you write one book at a time or do you have several going at a time?
I’m usually planning, writing, and editing one book at a time. But I’m researching several books at a time, mostly casually by reading a lot, watching a lot of shows, and day dreaming. I’m also always researching on the current book too.
Pen or type writer or computer?
When I’m planning my novels, I use pen and notebook and a portable keyboard on my iPhone, and when I’m editing, I use my laptop.

the Dragon Slayer
Henrietta
the Dragon Slayer Book 1
by
Beth Barany
Genre:
YA Fantasy Adventure
She's
a legend at 17, but only Henrietta knows the price she paid for her
fame … and it was much too high.
From
the Winner of the California Fiction Writer's Book Contest comes this
thrilling adventure of a young warrior on one final quest … against
an opponent she swore never to face again.
Henrietta,
the legendary Dragon Slayer of Bleuve, can't face the thought of
another kill. She's lost family, friends and home on her rocky road
to fame. But when the young warrior is summoned by a King to retrieve
the Dragon Stone from the last dragon in existence, she can't re
fuse--her mentor lies dying, and the healing stone is all that can
save him. This quest will be her most harrowing of all, for it means
facing mysterious assassins, the dreaded choppy sea, and all with a
misfit band--a young witch, a jester and a surly knight. And at
journey's end, someone must die … the dragon, or
Henrietta.
Perfect
for fans of Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, Collins' The Hunger Games,
McKinley's Hero & the Crown, and Paolini's Eragon. Get your copy

the Dragon Slayer Book 3
Finally,
the sweeping conclusion to the Henrietta The Dragon Slayer trilogy!
Parted
by destiny, the four friends struggle to rejoin forces and face for a
final time, the ruthless sorcerer intent on destroying them all.
In the biggest challenge of her life, Henrietta the legendary Dragon Slayer of Bleuve must lead her people into a battle that may end life as they know it. For they face no ordinary army, but the dark forces of a powerful sorcerer bent on overtaking all five kingdoms. And unless she can rescue her dauntless knight Franc, she must do it without his support.

And unless she can rescue her dauntless knight Franc, she must do it without his support.
Franc
will follow Henrietta anywhere. But on a mission to find allies among
the Horse People, he is kidnapped and taken by minions of the evil
sorcerer Eyvindir. Will he find the strength and courage to survive,
and fight again at Henrietta's side?
Paulette,
the young fire witch, must stand trial for a murder committed out of
desperation. In despair at her imprisonment by forces acting against
her dearest friend, Jaxter, she escapes and flees to the frigid,
forbidden land of Varangia to find a witch powerful enough to help
her finally master fire. But what must she give up to gain the power
to aid her friends?
Jaxter,
now a king, must come to terms with the heavy responsibilities of
ruling the Oro Islands, newly emerged from over 75 years of evil
rule. This means doing right, even when it means going against
ancient customs and protocols. Worse, the marauding Varangians press
at his borders. He must find a way to defend his home, or none of
them will survive.
Will
Henrietta and her friends be able to stop the ruthless sorcerer from
obliterating her, claiming the Dragon Stone, and ruling over the Five
Kingdoms?
