--Karen Hooper, Author of Tangled Tides

What if your name was your destiny? And what if that name foretold a tragic end?

A snippet from an author Q&A here: CheriLasota.com/author/

Q: HOW DID YOU CON­CEIVE OF ARTEMIS RISING?

A: I used to live in the Azores Islands, a pro­found priv­i­lege that went by far too quickly. But the place and its peo­ple have stayed with me some fif­teen years later, and I knew that no mat­ter what my book would even­tu­ally be about, I would set it on Terceira Island, one of the great loves of my life. The set­ting being carved in stone, I won­dered what to write about for the plot. No answer forth­com­ing, I played on the Internet (what else is a writer to do?). I remem­ber look­ing up the mean­ing of my favorite name in all the world, Tristan. That's when I stum­bled upon the Arthurian leg­end of Tristan and Isolde. Ooh, did I revel in this deli­cious story! Mad love and long­ing, knights and ladies, treach­ery and tragedy--what's not to love? And then another day, per­haps months later, I was research­ing mythol­ogy. Can't recall why. I came across the story of Alpheus and Arethusa and noticed strange sim­i­lar­i­ties to the Tristan and Isolde myth, and some­thing just clicked in my mind. I thought, what would hap­pen if I squished those two myths together? What if...? And my mind went rac­ing on with the possibilities.
