Arianna Eastland

Biography

Arianna Eastland is a native New Englander whose fascination with the Native-American culture and its history in her area led her to read everything she could on the subject. One book she read alleged that many Pilgrim women who were kidnapped and held for ransom by Native-American warriors opted not to return to their husbands because they became infatuated with their captors. This gave Arianna the idea for her first romance novel, TOO FAR TO WHISPER, set in 17th-Century New England. When she is not writing, Arianna enjoys hiking, traveling and art. She also confesses that one of her guilty pleasures is watching TV reality shows.

Smashwords Interview

What is the greatest joy of writing for you?
I enjoy the escapism. When I am writing, I am able to become part of another world, another time, and I temporarily can forget reality and whatever problems I might currently be having. The best part is I am the creator of the worlds in my books, so they can be anything I want them to be.
What do your fans mean to you?
My fans mean everything to me! Without them, I would have no reason to publish my books, and my writing would be just...well, writing! I'm sure every writer will agree that nothing feels better than receiving 5-star reviews from fans of their work. That's when you finally begin to believe that others actually can relate to what's in your heart and share your passion.
