Blog Tour – Interview with Hilari Bell
1) Welcome Hilari! I always like to start my interviews with a challenge. What color would you say best describes you and why? I’m going to say hazel–a soft, mossy green with gold tints.

How did it feel to get that first book published? Amazing, stunning, overwhelming, astonishing…and when my second book sold just a few months later, terrifying. It’s interesting though, people…

Not too long ago, I was reading a fine book–Young Nelsons ~ Boy Sailors during the Napoleonic Wars–about the education of Francis Austen, brother of the novelist, Jane Austen, who entered the Naval Academy at Portsmouth in 1788, when he was aged 11.

Furthermore, his education was expected to encompass Geography, Chronology, Navigation, Spherics, Astronomy, Latitude,…
