Today I am going to be sharing with you an interview with Summer Lane about her new book Bravo: Blood Road! It was released yesterday so happy release week!
Bravo: Blood Road by Summer Lane
Released 21st October 2016
Young Adult/Dystopian
Bravo and his beloved handler, Lieutenant Nathan Ingalls, are together again amidst the ashes of an apocalyptic California. Together, they are using their skills to help a rebel militia group seek out survivors in the desolation of Death Valley.
But when the Death Brigade – a vicious anarchist group arisen from the dust of a fallen society – rolls into town, tragedy strikes. Someone is taken. Neither Nathan nor Bravo will allow that. The hunt is on – Bravo will not fail in his task to protect his friends.
The Black Market.
Rescuing the people you love sometimes comes with a price. When Bravo and his friend, India, are taken to Blood Road, they are forced to fight for their lives in a terrifying and vicious society of gambling, deceit and violent entertainment.
Alone and afraid, Bravo is forced to fight for his life every day in an arena while cruel spectators make bets on the odds of his victory. His only allies in this dark place could perish as suddenly as he could.
The bonds of friendship are tested, and the agonizing teeth of loss sink their fangs deep.
Life or death. Fight or flight. Bravo must choose.
One mission, completed.
One duty, fulfilled.
And now, the Blood Road will wreak its vengeance.
Interview with Summer Lane
If
you could live the life of any one famous author of history, who would it be?
I’m not really sure, although it would be interesting to see what Jane Austen’s life was like, or Charlotte Bronte. It would be a fascinating adventure to live the life of Jack London. He was an explorer and gold prospector, so I imagine he had many colorful experiences during the 19th century.

Why
did you become a writer?
Quite frankly, I became a writer out of
necessity. At the time that I started writing, I didn’t have a lot of options,
I didn’t have any money, and I couldn’t afford an education. The only thing to
my name was a laptop and a Microsoft Word program. That’s it. I thought, “How
can I turn this into a career that supports me?” More than anything, I wanted
to be completely and utterly self-sufficient. So I started writing. I started
selling my work, and then I started selling my novels. It began as a rather
desperate struggle to survive, and now it’s fun! I can do the things that I
want to do in life, and write the
stories that I want to write and share them with the world!
If
you weren’t a writer, what would you be?
Yikes! I can’t imagine my life without
writing! But I have a good imagination, so here we go: if I was not a writer, I
would be either a teacher or a zoologist. I would love to work in the outdoors
with animals, or possibly even something with the forestry service in
California. I love the wilderness.
Imagine
that you are casting the movie for your books. What actors play which roles?
Hmm, good question. The Collapse Series has
several core characters at its heart, and I can think of a few actors that I
could see playing the main roles: Shailene Woodley as Cassidy Hart, Chris
Hemsworth as Chris Young, Tom Hiddleston as Harry Lydell, and Jon Bernthal as
Uriah True. When it comes to Bravo, though, it’s all about finding the right
dog, and the right actor to play the part of his handler, Nathan Ingalls.
Are
there going to be any more Bravo books?
No. The Bravo Saga will cap at two books,
although you will see more of Bravo in The
Collapse Series and The Zero Trilogy. He may even pop up again sometime…but that’s
all I can say about that!
