unExpressed - unExpressed Ep 9: Hannah Curie
play

05/10/20 • 64 min

https://www.whitefire.tv/ep9-hannah-currie

Today’s Guest is Hannah Currie, author of Heart of a Royal and the sequel Heart of a Princess (releasing Summer 2020).
We talk about why she writes Young Adult fiction and how that genre has had a profound effect on her life, why she, and maybe every female on the planet, loves stories about princesses, and how you should be prepared for God having some different in store than you might have expected.

ABOUT HANNAH

HANNAH CURRIE

Aussie author, Hannah Currie, loves God, family, people (in small numbers, let’s not go crazy here!) and writing. She and her husband live with their three adorable kids in sunny Queensland, where it really is beautiful one day and perfect the next. Except, maybe, during heatwaves. They’re not so fun. She loves to connect with readers at www.hannahcurrie.com.

HEART OF A ROYAL

Read a SamplePurchase

HEART OF A PRINCESS
COMING SUMMER 2020

To the watching world, Princess Alina has it all – maids to serve her, a kingdom to revere her, a prince to marry her, and a wardrobe filled with enough frills, flounces and shades of pink to rival a flower shop. But behind the smiles and designer clothes, Alina has a secret. She’s barely holding it together.

After a moment of panic almost ends in tragedy, Alina is sent to a refuge far from the palace to recuperate. Her family claim it’s for her own good but – faced with cows, knife-beaked ducks and far too many of her own insecurities – Alina is pretty sure it will kill her first. And Joha Samson, infuriating man that he is, will laugh as it does.

Only there’s more to Joha than she realizes, and more to herself too. When the time comes to make a stand, will she find the courage?

INTERESTING THINGS FROM THE INTERVIEW

Olivia’s Blog – the cwtch:

Her writing journey:
https://thecwtch.blogspot.com/2018/03/why-im-still-writing-same-book-3-years.html

And in case you were wondering about the name like I know I was here’s Olivia’s Explaniation:
“Growing up with Welsh grandparents, cwtch is a word I heard a lot. It’s one of those cool words that doesn’t really have an English equivalent; it can be a hug/cuddle, a safe place created in the hearts of two people, or it can be a literal hiding place (ex. the cupboard under the stairs.) It’s a word full of softness and non-romantic love for another person; just a quiet place where you can relax and be safe.

And that’s what I want for my blog. A big hug and a safe place.“

Some Definitions relating to the deaf/Deaf/Hard of hearing/hearing impaired:

(from the Canadian Association of the Deaf)

deaf:
A medical/audiological term referring to those people who have little or no functional hearing.

Deaf (with capital D):
A sociological term referring to those individuals who are medically deaf or hard of hearing who identify with and participate in the culture, society, and language of Deaf people, which is based on Sign language. Their preferred mode of communication is Sign.

hard of hearing:
A person whose hearing loss ranges from mild to profound and whose usual means of communication is speech. It is both a medical and a sociological term.

hearing impaired:
This term is not acceptable in referring to people with a hearing loss. It should never be used in referring to Deaf people. “Hearing impaired” is a medical condition; it is not a collective noun for people who have varying degrees of hearing loss. It fails to recognize the differences between the Deaf and the hard of hearing communities.

Olivia is a freelance editor at LivEdits
