Let’s
hear it for our next featured author, Heather Wampler. Heather is with us today
to talk about her book, The Last Grimm: Red’s Hood. By the way, I love the
cover.
Heather
is a mom, wife, blogger, and now, a published author. She lives in Pittsburgh,
Pa with her family and absolutely loves the city, which is why she bases her
stories there. She became serious about writing about 4 years ago, and after a few
failed attempts, she took the big leap off the deep end and published the first
in her Last Grimm series, Red’s Hood.
The Last Grimm: Red’s Hood Synopsis
Abigail
Grimm stopped believing in fairy tales years ago. She is a college freshman who
just landed the internship of the year. Things were going great; she even met a
devastatingly good-looking man, Connor, who could not seem to get enough of
her.
Then she witnesses the receptionist mauled to death by a giant wolf in the middle of downtown. The skeletons in her family's closet come falling out as Abigail discovers she is actually the last in a long line of fairy tale guardians. And Connor, well he is not quite what he seems and has a few skeletons of his own.
Abigail must abandon everything she thought was real for make believe and fantasy. With Connor by her side, and a forbidden love budding, she must track down the wolf and save humanity before it's too late.

What made you write The Last Grimm: Red’s Hood?
Heather
loves fairy tales. She read Little Red Riding Hood to her boys, and realized she
wanted to read a grown up version of it, so she wrote one.
That’s
a good enough reason for me…And I have to admit, I love fairy tales. One of my
favorite shows on television now is Once Upon a Time. I’m definitely putting
this one on my TBR List.
Since
we’re on the topic, I asked Heather what fairytale character she would like to
be?
Cinderella. She overcame
the death of both of her parents, had a horrible stepmother, two awful stepsisters,
and still managed to be happy and find prince charming. Cinderella is strong,
caring, loving, and would be an amazing woman.
Motivation to Self-Publish
She
decided to self-publish because, she claims, she’s horrible at writing query letters, and
was getting rejection letter after rejection letter. Heather was feeling dejected
when she started reading about self-publishing. She figured it was worth a
shot, and did it.
