Silver Acheron by K.M. Telford Interview and 2 Giveaways!

My Interview:

1. How similar is the fringe district to jail? no woman's prison?

The Fringe District’s only really similar to jail in that people are sent there when they break the law. It’s essentially a massive slum where people are thrown when they don’t live up to the high standards set by the government. You could be sent there for fraud, or you could be sent there for stealing a book from the library—the lawmakers don’t care. And there’s no division for men, women or children. The Fringe District is its own community. People live, work and breed there, and generally speaking, once you’re banished to the Fringe District, you’re there for life.

2. Is Silver a bounty hunter for all 10 books?

 

Silver’s only really a bounty hunter in Acheron. Near the beginning of the next book in the series, The Lost & Damned, she gets recruited by Maydevine for another job entirely—as hinted at in the epilogue of Acheron. And it’s a job that might lead to her repatriation…

3. Will the books have cliff hangers or can they be read alone?

 

Most of the books have cliffhangers, and they are designed to be read in sequence. The first seven books in the series make up a collection called The Amaranthe Chronicles, and they’re all inter-woven. As such, little snippets of information about the conspiracy surrounding Silver’s banishment are disseminated gradually. Reading the series out of sequence could get confusing!

4. Tell us more about the Hunter/ executioner roles? how do they differ? how are they the same?

 

Both jobs involve killing, but that’s about all they have in common. Hunters kill monsters (the Chimera), and Enforcers (executioners) kill humans. Being a Hunter is a job with great pride and dignity attached to it. In contrast, being an Enforcer is incredibly shameful—especially for a former Hunter. Hunters spend their lives protecting humans, so to kill a human goes against everything Silver’s ever believed in.

5. What would you like my readers to know?

According to one of my close friends, SILVER: Acheron contains one of the most disgusting scenes I've ever written. Ever since this book, all disgusting things we encounter in our every day lives are judged for foulness according to whether or not they're "more or less disgusting than the rim job". Is your morbid curiosity piqued now?

Dishonorably discharged from the Hunter Division and banished for crimes she did not commit, Silver struggles to come to terms with her new prison-like surroundings: a segregated area of the city called the Fringe District, populated by murderers, thieves and rapists.

Starving, and desperate for money, she reluctantly accepts the Police Division's invitation to enroll in a covert Bounty Hunter program: an initiative devised to infiltrate the criminal underworld of the Fringers, and to force the very worst warrant dodging law-breakers to meet their fate--death.

Unfortunately, Silver doesn't realize that the Police Division is about to up the ante. They need more than little snippets of information and arrests--they need someone to pull the trigger. They need an executioner.
