5 Minutes, 5 Questions With…
Eileen Granfors, author of Sydney’s Story

Sydney Carton is one of Dickens’ most memorable heroes, a man who died for the love of a woman he could never have. His morose presence is felt throughout A Tale of Two Cities.

Eileen Granfors has forged a prequel to tell Sydney’s Story, with each incident in his life before A Tale of Two Cities and the fateful meeting with Lucie Manette Darnay pushing him another step closer to the guillotine.

Joey Pinkney: Where did you get the inspiration to write Sydney’s Story?

Eileen Granfors: I taught A Tale of Two Cities for more than twenty years to high school juniors. Most of them thought he was foolish, disgusting, or a Continue reading 5 Minutes, 5 Questions With… Eileen Granfors, author of Sydney’s Story →

Lori Higham, Book Manager/Editor for BookTrope.com

My parents are involved in charity work overseas, so I had a lot of experience with extensive travel from a very young age. I also worked in the fashion industry as a model and photographer, so that gave me the opportunity to get to know New York very well!

Those types of activities kept me very busy, so unfortunately I had to lay aside my own love for writing. I discovered that I could take on freelance editing of other people’s books and not lose that connection with good literature.

Joey Pinkney: How did you become a Book Manager/Editor?

Lori Higham: While editing with various companies, I started finding the books I’d edited on Amazon—some selling quite well. In addition, I was given Continue reading 5 Minutes, 5 Questions With… Lori Higham, Book Manager/Editor for BookTrope.com →
