COLD HEARTED - SERENA VALENTINO INTERVIEW

Cold Hearted, the 8th book in Serena Valentino’s addictive Villains series chronicles the untold unrequited love story of Cinderella’s misunderstood stepmother .

Serena Valentino has taken the world by storm with her best-selling Disney Villains series, whisking them away somewhere between dreams and nightmares.  Her stories give readers the opportunity to explore the villains they know and love.  From the Wicked Queen and the Beast, to Ursella and Malificent, readers are also introduced to new characters that operate behind the scenes of classic Disney plots, giving tales-as-old-as-time a bewitching new twist.  

 In Cold Hearted,  Lady Tremaine, widowed and raising two headstrong girls alone, finds herself falling for a dashing knight from a far-off land who is looking for a stepmother for his own young daughter. But stepmothers in the Many Kingdoms never tend to fare well…and Lady Tremaine may be destined for a not-so-happily ever after.

Serena Valentino has been weaving tales that combine mythos and guile for the past decade. She has earned critical acclaim in both the comic and horror domains, where she is known for her unique style of storytelling, bringing her readers into exquisitely frightening worlds filled with terror, beauty, and extraordinary protagonists. The books in her best-selling Villains series are best enjoyed when read in the following order: Fairest of All, The Beast Within, Poor Unfortunate Soul, Mistress of All Evil, Mother Knows Best, Odd Sisters, Evil Thing, and Cold Hearted.

I spoke with Serena about her latest book, Cold Hearted and her process of diving into the back stories of some of Disney’s greatest villains.
