Hello Book Lovers! Today we have a special interview with the amazing author of the Kailmeyra series! Check out the interview,then enter to win an ebook copy of The Light of Asterisa (Kailmeyra #1)!

1. Can you tell us a bit about yourself?

I am an elementary music teacher by day, writer by night. I have two teenagers and two crazy dogs, and I live in Kentucky.

2. If you could describe The Light of Asteria in three words what words would you use?

Love, adventure, and friendship

3. What inspired you to write The Light of Asteria?

Nora’s story was originally written for my daughter, Kate. It came from and intensely personal place, and I had never thought about sharing it with the world. When Kate’s friends found out about it, they wanted a copy, and, as they say, the rest is history.

4. Is there a message in your novel that you want readers to grasp?

The messages of Asteria were meant to serve as an example. They were life lessons I wanted my daughter to know. I wanted her to appreciate what people could give her, and forgive them for the things they couldn’t. I wanted her to stop and think, to really focus on what her intent was before she let her emotions rule, and I wanted her to have an example of love and forgiveness. I never thought that so many people would be moved by those same lessons. The numerous emails and letters I’ve gotten over this past year is both humbling and, at times, a little overwhelming.

5. What was your favorite part of writing The Light of Asteria?

I loved writing the carnival scene, and the battle scenes.

6. If you could have dinner with one of your characters who would it be? Why?

I think it’s a writer’s curse, but I love watching other people ... how they act and react, their mannerisms, and how they play off each other. With that in mind, it would be incredible if I could have Malachi and Edna at the same table, hear their conversation, and see how the related to one another.

7. Which of your characters are the most and least like you? Why?

The character most like me would probably be Elias. I have servant’s heart and am loyal to a fault. The least would obviously be the Dokkalfar. :-)

8. What can your future readers expect when they pick up The Light of Asteria?

Nora’s story is an emotional roller coaster that takes the reader on a thrilling adventure. If you like fantasy and romance, then you’ll like The Light of Asteria.

-Random this or that-

Zombies or Unicorns? Unicorns!

Edward or Jacob? Neither!

Apples or Oranges? Oranges!

Winter or Summer? Fall!
