Featured Interview With Kathryn Elizabeth Jones
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I was born in California and raised in Utah. I currently live in West Valley, near Salt Lake. Although I still love California, I find the slower pace of Utah more fitting to my personality. I moved back to California as an adult for two years, but would still rather vacation there. Writing can be involving enough without trying to figure out the freeway system.
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I was in the first grade when I first developed a love for writing, but I have always been interested in books even before I could read. Serious writing for me, however, didn’t begin until I married and started a new life with my husband. Before that, it was just serious reading for me. I really never thought I’d be a published writer until I became an adult.
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
I enjoy C.S. Lewis and any book that inspires me to move forward in life. That means I read a lot of non-fiction, but it’s surprising how motivating a book of fiction can be if it’s an inspiring read.
I have a lot of help from family, friends and fans to continue to write. I love it when I hear that someone is anxiously waiting for my next book to come out.
Tell us a little about your latest book?
Sunny Side-Up, a cozy mystery, was released on October 1, 2014. It’s the second installment in the Susan Cramer Mystery series, and takes place on a cruise ship touring the Hawaiian islands.
Since I traveled the Hawaiian islands in 2007, and gained many fond memories, I was more easily able to write Sunny Side-Up, though you need to know that much care went into accuracy involving working areas of the ship.
For example, do you know where they store the deceased if they die on board?
I didn’t until I did some research.
Sunny Side-Up will be available in both print and eBook formats.
