Q. If your book was made into a film, who would you like to play the lead?
A. Casey shows she can be a bit feisty – and a little bratty – at the start of Summons. However, as the story goes along, that feisty part of her gets tested. Making it to the end of the adventure takes a lot. I saw a movie, Skyscraper with The Rock, Dwayne Johnson. There was a girl in it that I think would fit the bill for Casey:
Q. If your book had a candle, what scent would it be?
A. No joke, there is something magical that is in the book. It has to do with the way certain things smell. I was so interested in this, that I had someone put together a scented oil and call it Casey. This was a while back and did it as a fun thing at the time. But I LOVED the citrusy scent of the oil. That is what the candle would smell like, like hints of fresh orange and lemon zested freshly before you.
There might also be one that smells like chocolate cake. You can find out why in both Summons and Return.
Q. Do you read yourself and if so what is your favorite genre?
A. I am a definite booknerdigan. I recall being introduced to The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe early on in elementary school. As I grew older, a lot of Judy Blume’s books caught my interest, like Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret. I eventually discovered there was a whole Chronicles of Narnia so I gobbled those up in due time, as well as the Lord of the Rings series, and The Hobbit.
I devoured lots of romance novels (sneaking reads to a few Harlequin novels when I was still a preteen and didn’t really understand what all was happening lol!)
My tastes vary, but I’m mainly a fiction chick with a leaning to fantasy/science-fiction. With a little romance laced between the pages, I’m a happy camper.
Summons
Fable
Ranger Book 1
by
A.L. Brown
Genre:
MG Fantasy, Fairy Tale Mashup
Take
care what you wish for. You just might get it.
Twelve-year-old
Casey doesn’t think life could get any more unfair. Plans for her
special basketball tournament are tossed aside by her sister’s
wedding plans. She even has to be a bridesmaid now, with all the lace
and silk and—oh, the horror! All she wants is an escape, but she
never imagined she’d be swept away to a world of Mother Goose
rhymes, fairy tales, stories of Arabian Nights, and oh, by the way,
all but one fairy godmother has been kidnapped.
Casey
learns she’s been summoned as the Fable Ranger to lead the search
and rescue of the missing wish-makers. But she’s not the hero they
want. In the world of fairy tales, damsels aren’t meant to swoop in
and save the day.
Now
all Casey wants is to go home, but the veil between worlds is on
lockdown. Taking fate into her own hands, she embarks on an airship
flight to find the phoenix tears that can open her way home. Her
journey would’ve gone as smooth as the perfect layup if it weren’t
for that pesky bounty the evil Dovetail has placed on her head. But
if Casey fails, the Arabian Nights will disappear forever—and leave
her trapped in a world unraveling one fairy tale at a time.

Return
Fable
Ranger Book 2
Casey
is home! But not for long…
Casey’s
short-lived return to the real world is followed by a rapid scramble
back to Lorealia to tackle Dovetail and more of his mischief. This
time, it’s a family affair — not just to save the missing
godmothers, but to rescue her sister Leslie as well.
Snow
White is now Snow Leslie, trapped in an off-script fairy tale that’s
doomed to spiral into a never ever after with the rest of Lorealia if
Casey, her father, and Charlie-boy fail their mission to stop a
war.
And
has the book finally realized it made a mistake in choosing Casey as
the Fable Ranger after all? Why is it rejecting her?
Don’t
miss this final installment of the exciting Fable Ranger duology.
Born
and raised in Little Rock, AR, Angela now calls Central Texas
home.
Reading
and writing have been lifelong passions. It was around the time she
gave birth to her forever-love, nicknamed Chipmunk, that she really
took writing seriously. After all, how could she teach her child to
follow her dreams if she hadn't tried herself?
As
a YA fantasy/sci-fi reader and author, she favors the magical,
mysterious, the darker side of life...even harbors a secret fright
for things that go bump in the night.
