Obsessive and driven by
nightmares, Ava Baio is uprooted from her Chicago home after the untimely and
tragic death of her loving mother. Taken across country by her antagonistic
grandmother and placed as a boarding student at a school in Dana Point, California,
Ava struggles with isolation and the loss of her mother and her grandfather.
Faced with having left her beloved brownstone behind and attending a new
school, surrounded by new faces and unfamiliar scenery, she finds herself
sorting through unfamiliar and uncharted feelings with a strange and beautiful
boy, Ari – a modern day Adonis. After an unconventional start to their
relationship, Ava becomes intensely absorbed by her love for Ari, and with his
help and the help of his family, she discovers who she really is – a
Fate descended from Atropos. She learns that the Greek mythology she grew up
reading is not comprised of myth after all.
Ava faces constant
challenges both in her relationship with Ari and with the fact that she is
being hunted by six threatening and ruthless men who want nothing more than for
her to die so that they can live forever. She has no choice but to stand up for
those she has come to love. In doing so, she becomes something she hates, a
killer.
A true page-turner, A
Beautiful Fate is Part One of The Beautiful Fate Series. The novel
is full of suspense, romance and the allure of ancient Greece. Ava and Ari will
leave the reader hoping the story will never end.
Q & A With the author!
Q - Cat, A Beautiful
Fate is your first published novel. Where did you get the inspiration for a
story involving Greek Mythology?
A - I have always been attracted to the idea of mythology.
So many stories we know and love today have been inspired by the myths told so
long ago. As a child, I always secretly wished that those stories were true; that
The Fates and Adonis were real. “A Beautiful Fate” is just my idea of where
these deities’ offspring would be today.
Q - Have you always wanted to be an author?
A- Maybe. I think I have always enjoyed writing- more appropriately,
I have always enjoyed telling myself stories. I find that I tell small stories
to myself while I am trying to fall asleep at night or while waiting at the
DMV. I create characters and I let these characters tell me where they came
from and what they do. Ava was one of those characters that I just couldn’t get
to stop talking. I started writing Ava’s story on paper one day and once 12
notebooks were full, I moved on to my laptop, once two books were complete she
kept talking and is now giving me the dirty details in book 3.
Q - In reading A
Beautiful Fate, it seems that music plays an important role in your life.
What musical artist inspire you, and do you listen to music while you write?
A- Music plays a role in every aspect of my life. It always
has. I love all kinds of sounds and styles. Some of my all-time favorite bands
and artists include Beatrice Martin of Coeur De Pirate, I think Thom Yorke is
fantastic, I enjoy a Nirvana song any day of the week as well as Foo Fighters and
Eddie Vedder/Pearl Jam. Most recently, I have been consumed with Of Monsters
and Men. They speak to my soul. Their lyrics hold great stories for me.
Q - In what ways, if any, are you like your characters in A Beautiful Fate?
A - Hmmm. I think I may be a bit like Ava. People who know
me and have read the books certainly say they see her in my personality. I
think Ava and I share the same type of heart; one where we feel and love deeply
but we can stand tall and keep our emotions at bay when needed.
