Serenity
Forever #1
by India R.
Adams
To say I know where this story begins is to say I
remember what lifetime started it all…and why. What I do know is this lifetime
is hard and cruel…maybe like the rest. That is until I meet him–the light that
shines and guides me. To where, I don’t know, but my soul chooses to follow
regardless. I believe my soul has done this before. I believe I will follow
him…forever.
"The toll on my spirit had slowly broken me down—day by day, night by night, drink by drink, hit by hit—to the limp, fragile, lost girl that Dereck Hamilton . . . carried away."
A destructive home life silently destroys Serenity, a 16-year-old girl, until her broken spirit is given a gift in the form of an old journal that sends her a visitor in the night. The cloaked woman teaches Serenity that the lingering feeling of missing a part of her soul may not be a figment of her imagination, and with these words, Serenity’s journey, of this lifetime, begins.
"Away from the sun I close my eyes
and release myself into the unknown
I hope she is there
I hope she is there…"

Q & A with India R. Adams
Tell us a little bit about your main characters.
In the
first novel of the Forever series, we have Serenity—a more reserved
seventeen-year-old (because of the abuse she endures) who is gifted with
reading light around one’s body.
Skyler, Serenity’s best friend, is tiny but mighty with lots
of fight in her. She is a fav in reader’s heart and mine.
We have Joshua Dukes who seems overbearing at first but
truly means well taking care of his Shorties—Serenity and Sky.
There is Dereck Hamilton, Serenity’s love interest and SO
MUCH MORE. Just a fabulous young man.
Rocco, the smartass Italian football player who will steal
your heart (as he does Sky’s).
And Jolene, the mother hen of the group who watches over
them ever so carefully, putting her own needs last, always. I respect her
highly.
Who designs the covers for your books and what is that
process like for you as an author?
So far, I only use Procovers but the owner
is no longer accepting new clients. Just too busy now. The process with
designing a cover has been different for me. With the Forever series, 6 books
in total, I knew what I wanted and how they will become the final cover in the
6th cover. There are hints to what is happening within the series in each of
the covers. The colors have meanings too. I’m excited for the final cover!
Describe your ideal writing spot.
Wherever my laptop is,
lol!
What is the best advice you have been given?
Believe it
or not, the best advice has been to “write”. Just write, and then write some
more. You become better just by experimenting… and writing.
As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
A
singer. Singing brings me the most personal pleasure outside of my family,
writing a very strong second.
Which do you prefer: hard/paperbacks or ebooks?
Paper.
Back. ALWAYS. I love how they smell and feel. I love the sound of flipping a
page. Is that weird?
If you could have any supernatural power, what would you
choose and why?
Fly. I want to soar in the beautiful blue sky. My husband
jumped out of a plane once. He said it was one of the most liberating
experience of his life. Not only did he just jump-out-of-a-plane, lol, but he
said it was so peaceful and quiet on the way down. He was so at peace with
himself. I’m jealous because I am afraid of heights and may never know what he
speaks of.
What book are you reading now?
My own. Editing is never
over with all my books.
Thank you, Sheri!
