AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT
Camille Faye
When
Camille made the decision to leave teaching in order to stay home with
her kids, she decided to also follow her dream of writing a novel. She
found the muse for her debut work, Voodoo Butterfly, during a family trip to New Orleans where she dreamt of a woman who had the power to change evil people good.
The Northwest Houston division of RWA named VoodooButterfly a
2013 Lone Star Contest finalist. The people and settings found in all
of Camille's stories are inspired by her family life and her travels to
27 countries and counting!
Well guys, what do you think? Camille sounds awesome right? I am so excited to check out her debut novel, Voodoo Butterfly! I met Mrs.
Camille through the Ozarks Writers League group on Facebook, where we
are both members! We actually discovered that we live close to each
other so I hope to get to meet Mrs. Camille at an event soon! I know
this read is going to be amazing and I am hoping to read it next week
before Mrs. Camille joins us for the event next week! Here's some more info about her debut novel!
Voodoo Butterfly by Camille Faye
Release Date: October 20, 2014
Publisher: Soul Mate Publishing
Genre: Paranormal, Romance, Women's Fiction
When twenty-five-year old Sophie Nouveau inherits her grandmother's voodoo shop she knows nothing about voodoo. Or her family's history of Mind Changers, who have the power to change evil people to good. To complicate matters, someone doesn't want Sophie in New Orleans and sends a series of death threats to scare her away from her new enchanted life.
Tipped off by her grandmother's ghost, Sophie realizes her mind-changing spell's been missing one magic ingredient: true love. If Sophie cannot experience transformative love, she cannot make her spell work, and she will be powerless to fight back when confronted by the one who wants her dead.

What is your favorite supernatural genre (Witches, zombies, vampires, werewolves, etc) and why?
What is your favorite horror film and/or read?
The Exorcist. To me, you cannot get any scarier than that. And since I'm from Saint Louis, where a large portion of the real life exorcism was performed, it feels even more real to me. The actual case was about a boy (not a girl like in the movie) from Maryland, whose family came to Saint Louis to get help. He stayed with relatives and the home remains standing; weird things continue to happen there. The hospital where he was treated was torn down, but there's still a huge crack across the parking lot that appeared during the exorcism. They have tried, many times in the decades since, to repair the crack and it CANNOT BE FIXED. Crazy, huh?
What is your favorite Halloween costume (or your favorite that you have worn/have seen)?
What is your favorite Halloween candy?
Anything chocolate. There is no Switch Witch at our house and I'm not afraid to admit it: I steal my kids' Halloween candy :)
What is your favorite part about Halloween?
Our neighborhood does a Halloween parade where we block off the street so none of the kids get hurt. The adults hand out candy, cozy up to their fire pits in the driveway, and grab a beer, while the kiddos Trick-or-Treat. It lasts about a half hour or so, but I gave away four big bags of candy last year. It's so popular that people even invite their extended family members to join in. Good times, good times.
What is your favorite Halloween memory?
One Halloween (when I was about 7), my mom, my sister, and I had just
gotten back from showing our costumes to my grandmas. The house was
completely dark. My dad snuck up from the basement, dressed as a
werewolf, and scared us so bad. He did a really good job: messy hair,
grizzly beard, fake teeth, brown face paint, and torn clothes. I thought
it was hilarious because I just LOVE being scared and facing my fears.
(Even when I was little my parents called me Evil Knievel because of my
daredevil ways.) But my 5-year-old sister was so scared she refused to
go Trick-or-Treating with us.
