Featured Interview With K. E. Blair
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I live in Massachusetts, although I grew up in the Midwest. In addition to reading, I love taking my Australian shepherd mix hiking, and trying out new hobbies, like baking or cross-stitch.
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I’ve been a fan of reading fantasy books from a young age. My favorite author growing up was Tamora Pierce and I loved getting lost in her Tortall series. I started writing about 10 years ago when I first found out about NaNoWriMo. Since then, I’ve participated every year and built up quite the backlog!I
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
I love reading Tamora Pierce (still!), Sarah J. Maas, Annette Marie, and any new book that strikes my fancy! I tend to pick up all types of fantasy books (urban fantasy, romantic fantasy, dark fantasy, fairy tail retellings, etc.) depending on my mood.
When I write, I love to be inspired by my travels. I’ll look up local legends of where I’m planning a trip, and love when I can find local myths or legends written as a YA fantasy. This is more rare than it seems, so I’m left with an idea of what I want to write about.
Tell us a little about your latest book?
The Hidden Crown is for everyone who loves characters with secret pasts and stories filled with hidden magic, Robin Hood vibes, medieval royalty, fae and a well-done love triangle!
