Hi Khelsey, thanks for joining me! So what are three interesting facts about yourself that you'd like to share with the readers?
1. I drink coffee all day.
2. I'm addicted to nail polish.
3. I'm pretty sure that I couldn't live without chocolate.
What made you want to be a writer?
I was reading Richelle Mead's Vampire Academy series for a seventh time and thought I could write a book. I started Kallos that night.
What motivates you to write?
When I get an email or a message from someone telling me how much they loved my book, it makes everything worth it.
Do you have a particular writing process?
I do. I need loud Dubstep music on Pandora and I always need a drink.
How do you manage the deadly problem that is writers block?
I will read other books or reread what I wrote.
What is a piece of writing advice that you will always remember?
My grandma told me to write what I love, and that is what I do.
What is the most influential book you have ever read, and why do you think so?
I have a few. Cynthia Eden, Richelle Mead and AM Hudson. I think because I adore all of their books it made me want to a better author and hopefully I can be where they are at.
Have you derived any inspiration from your home or from anywhere you have visited?
Hmm... I don't think I did!
Your latest release is The Beast and the Homecoming Queen. What are your other publications for those who don't know?
I have a lot! I have the prequels to the Kallos series: Sean & Ian, Acidalia, Aphrodite's Curse and then the first book in the Kallos series, Kallos.
I also have a vampire series called Darkwood Manor: First Bite and Love Bite.
I have an erotic series called Incubus. Phoenix's Heart is the first in the series and I'm working on book two with Max and Megan's story.
I feel like I'm forgetting some!
What is The Beast and the Homcoming Queen about? It certainly
sounds interesting!
Quinn hasn't had an easy life. Her mother was killed in a car accident when she was just a baby and her father was found murdered with unexplained bite marks on his body. The only person she had left was her sister... That is until her evil step-mother took her away living Quinn alone in a massive house.
Enter Senior and Kaden Webb. He is dangerous and Quinn is immediately drawn to him. Her best friend Breanna doesn't like him and thinks she should be with someone like Justin Keto, her long time crush. Quinn finds herself torn between the two boys until Justin makes the first move and asks her to the homecoming dance. Here she finds out nothing in her life has been what it seemed... Including Justin and Kaden.
Turns out Quinn is a werewolf and Justin is destined to help her lead the pack as her mate. As if that wasn't enough to deal with, both Kaden and Justin must move in with her for safety's sake. Theirs and hers. It's a good thing that two jealous werewolves in love with her and living under the same roof is the least of her problems, right?
What drove you to write fantasy?
I love the fantasy world. I love the idea of anything can happen, and I can make anything happen.
Your Amazon.com Author Page states that you moved to Las Vegas when you were 18. What made you decide to move and has it influenced you with writing?
I moved to Vegas because my dad lived here. I started working and met my husband. I don't know if I would have become an author if I hadn't moved here. My husbands pushed me to do what I loved, and that was writing.
You have a series of successful books available on Amazon, but what does the future hold for you as a writer?
I love writing series' and I plan on writing more in each. The Kallos series is endless, I'm not sure how many books will be in it!
Thanks for such a fantastic interview Khelsey!
Be sure to check out The Beast and the Homecoming Queen on Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.com. Coincidentally, you can get a free copy of First Bite, the first in the Darkwood Manor series on Amazon - but hurry, today is the last day!
