Q&A with K. C. Sprayberry
One of the most exciting things in the Publishing industry is meeting interesting people who are talented authors and write intriguing stories.
After reading The Case of the Missing Brother (Wildcat Crew Book 3) by K. C. Sprayberry, I had a few questions about her story and the characters.
About The Case of the Missing Brother (Wildcat Crew Book 3)
George Adams, brother to Christine and Suzie, disappeared when his parents took him out of their home in Beverly Hills. Wildcat Crew finally has the clues they need to discover where he is and why he’s there.
The crew works hard but runs into all sorts of brick walls. Until they uncover important clues and are soon on their way to the successful conclusion of another case.
1) You are a multi-genre author focusing on Young Adult novels, it’s obvious that you care about teenagers so please tell me what you think are the biggest challenges for them and their parents?
1) Currently, the biggest challenges for teens and their parents are the lack of social interaction with most facing another school year doing distance learning. Teens are social. They need to be with their friends and exploring their world. That they can’t at this time is worrisome and presents them with new challenges to overcome.
2) Tell me a few things about George’s family, he loved his sisters and sacrificed many years of his life to protect them. What do you think about him and for people like George?
2) George’s family is different from others. In the 70s, the timeframe for the Wildcat Crew books, most families were pretty close. Parents had expectations for their children but they were also ready to let those children grow up and find their own way in life. George recognized his parents were not like other parents and did his best to protect Suzie and Christine, but in the end the family splintered. Thankfully, his sisters had good friends willing to assist in finding where he had gone.
3) Conspiracy and corruption are everywhere, how are your characters supposed to survive?
3) Wildcat Crew are willing to take on difficult cases, much like The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew characters. These teens see a problem and work on solving it rather than letting someone else deal with the issue.
4) Parents VS Brothers, two totally different kinds of relationship, could they be together in harmony in the modern society?
4) Having seen families interacting in our new modern society, I sometimes wonder if it’s possible for parents and brothers to interact as what was once viewed as the nuclear family. Instead of being a family unit, it appears even with the current restrictions, teens are going in their own direction and parents are often left by the wayside. I’m sure at some point, I’ll find a way to incorporate this into a Wildcat Crew book.
5) What is family?
5) Family—a group of related individuals who must interact together even if they wish certain members would fall off the face of the earth. Family can drive you nuts by getting into your business or they can be your best friend when the reality of life hits them. There is definitely a strong love/hate relationship going on with most families, even if they don’t admit that, but that also binds them together when difficult experiences stop them in their tracks.
6) Tell me a few things about you and the series.
6) This is hard. The series is about teens solving mysteries without the benefit of cell phones, GPS, and the internet. In other words, they use their wits to get to the bottom of the problem. As for me, I love reading and will read just about any book. I also love many other things, such as exploring our town and making new friends. The people I run into often make it into my books if they’re quirky enough.
7) Where can readers find you and your books?
7) I can be found on many social media sites – Facebook and Twitter are my favorites. Yes, I love hearing from the fans. They are the reason I write these books.
