Keeper of the Watch By Kristen Jackson

  1. What message are you hoping people will receive when they read your book?

After reading KEEPER OF THE WATCH, I hope readers will take away the message to never give up. The protagonist in the story, Chase Walker, goes through many changes in his young life—the uncle who raised him dies, he turns eighteen, he graduates from high school, and he finds a magical watch that can transport him to parallel worlds. Through it all, he remains positive and steadfast in his beliefs and his goal. That’s not to say that he doesn’t have doubts, but he manages to work through them and keep moving forward, and that’s all that anyone can do.
2. Why did you write this book?
I wrote this book for my Dad. He passed away unexpectedly a few years ago. He always wore a watch, and one day—not long after he died—I thought, “Wouldn’t it be fun to write a story about a watch with powers?” I sat down and started writing that day. My Dad would have loved this story!
