Featured Interview With Kristy Brown
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I’m Born and raised in the UK, a small town in North East Lincolnshire. I have two teenage sons, who separately are amazing!
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I was a child and I remember my reading The Magic Finger to my grandad. I stumbled into acting as a teen and went on to university to study it. I lost my passion for the stage eventually, and rekindled my love of reading. At 30 my first son was born. Whilst he took naps, I started writing short stories, one of which turned into Kiera’s Quest. Kiera was my first published book aimed at 8+.
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
Favourite authors include J.K Rowling, obvious I know, but it was Harry Potter that stimulated me to write. I love YA, even though I’m no longer A Young Adult on the outside, my mind still is!
Paranormal Romance/ fantasy and Contemporary authors such as Lauren Kate, Becca Fitzpatrick, Jennifer Armentrout, Kiera Cass, Cassandra Clare, John Green, Nicola Yoon… I could go on.
Every book I read inspires me! I often get book envy and wish I’d written certain stories. I have another eight books in mind, and feel quite blessed that my imagination is so active 🙂
Tell us a little about your latest book?
I’m on my ninth. The latest book series is a YA Paranormal Romance trilogy. The first is SUMMER’S END.
Summer’s End
She wakes up in hospital, badly burned with no memory.
He’s been trained to kill her before she burns the world to ashes.
When they finally meet, will he be able to take her life now that he’s started to
feel for her?
His fate is already written.
The prophecy is already set…
Love between them is forbidden.
I saw the lead male in a dream and woke up knowing I had to write him. Alex has become my imaginary crush. I wrote him, and it’s weird, yet wonderful that I have to share him!
Summer is the misunderstood wall-flower with a huge secret, that she doesn’t even know she’s hiding. The story is a puzzle that by the end, hopefully fits together.
Summer’s End took a year to write and it’s published with Muse It Up Publishing. Book two SUMMER’S LOST, has just been released.
It’s written in first person in two points of view. I really wanted to let the reader get inside their heads.
