Welcome to today’s stop on the River of Time series blog tour, hosted by The {Teen} Book Scene. Today I have an interview with series author Lisa Tawn Bergren.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Proud Book Nerd: Where did the idea for the River of Time series come from?
Lisa Tawn Bergren: I wanted to write a series to capture my girls’ interest like Twilight did. But I didn’t want to write vampire novels, so I needed another romantic obstacle. Time travel was a nice solution—nothing like about 700 years to divide your hero and heroine…Plus I really wanted to write a story with knights and ladies, lots of high romance, and BIG action. Given that there were many, many ways to die in medieval times, there’s some good tension/threat.

About Waterfall
While most American teens would kill for an Italian vacation, the Betarrini sisters have spent every summer of their lives there with their archaeologist parents. And they’re not happy to be back. Stuck on yet another hot, dusty dig, they are bored out of their minds…until they place their hands atop handprints in an ancient tomb and find themselves catapulted into the Fourteenth Century. Gabi emerges in the middle of a dream–or nightmare?–with hot Italian knights in a fierce battle. And so begins her quest to return home…while wondering if she wants to at all.

A flexible income for a flexible schedule. But I guess some dreams are worth it. I couldn’t stop writing if I tried.

Haha! Nice answers
I’ve always found Knights so interesting and if I could time-travel I’d definitely want to visit one.
Yes! This is a GREAT alternative to Twilight (yucky…). Knights are soooo much more romantic, real, and awesome than vampires (especially sparkly ones).
I liked Graceling a lot! Very interesting book!
I will have to check out that song! nice review
I love “A Thousand Years” by Christina Perri. It was actually playing when I visited this post, what are the odds. Thanks for the great answers!

Great Interview! I guess the saying is true that you have to take the bad with the good (flexiable income for flexible schedule). Also, I hope you enjoy Graceling because I did. Although, I seem to love any story set around the historical times.
A Thousand Years is really pretty. I’ve never heard it before.
Very nice interview!
A flexible income. -> I hope this becomes better for you, Lisa. :]

I have to say that “a flexible income” would be a negative for me! Lol! Thanks for the interview. And Graceling is a fabulous read. One of my favorites due to its comeplete originality, strong heroine, and creativity. I actually need to re-read that one soon.

i love the medieval time so i had to get this book ( now i just have to start reading it but i prefer to have the other books before just to be sure to avoid any cliffhanger)
I do the same thing! It’s why I waited so long to read Twilight. I had to get all of the books first!
I think you more than successfully captured well… everyone’s interest! I love these books!
Lisa rocks!

I love the mix of slight fantasy and historical fiction. I’m glad you skipped writing on vampires. We needed something fresh and new to read.

I seriously laughed out loud about Lisa’s least favorite thing about being an author! She is such a good one, I hope she keeps it up!!
The way and reasons you came up with The River of Time series was interesting, let’s hope it gets as popular as Twilight!
Love this series — way better than Twilight!
Thanks for hosting the blog tour! Wonderful series!
I have a flexible income when I am a substitute teacher.

your least fav. thing about being an author is the reason my hubby still has a full time job and hasn’t published his book!
interesting interview!
