My friend, Diana Jenkins, invited me to participate in a
“blog hop interview.” Diana sent interview questions to answer on my blog. I
then tag writers who will answer questions on their blogs.
Diana posted her interview on her blog at DJ's Thoughts. If you get a minute, drop by to get to know Diana
better and leave a comment letting her know you
Being a writer affords me the liberty of creating characters who mean something to me and have characteristics that I like to see. I love getting to know them, then standing back and letting them tell me their story.
Here is some insight into the men of Unraveled:
Caedon Keene: the hot blackbelt who is interested in Autumn. He's sensitive, but deadly which makes him even more alluring.
Eduardo: Autumn's Taco Bell loving cousin. He's her partner in crime and modeled after Tommy Lee of Motley Crue:
Papi: Autumn's father. He's a baker, and an honest hardworking man. He doesn't understand Autumn's math gift, but believes in her talent.

"What Was the Boston Tea Party?",
December 16 1773,
nonfiction chapter book,
Add a tag
We’re jumping feet first into the summer with a visit from one of the best story-tellers on our planet!
It’s fun to be nosy about Kathy Krull’s latest activities…especially when she responds to Blog Hop questions. Read on. Add a comment. You just might receive a surprise . And do check out the splendid creators Kathy has blog-tagged at the end. —J.C.]
1. What is the title of your work-in-progress?
KK: It’s not in-progress, but piping hot off the press: What Was the Boston Tea Party
2. Where did the idea come from?
KK: Without being an expert on the Boston Tea Party, I still had a sense that the current Tea Party movement, which began in 2009, a month after President Barack Obama took office, was not always accurate in its depiction of American history. So I wanted to know the real story of the event and present it to young readers.
3. What genre does your book come under?
KK: Nonfiction chapter book, illustrated with line drawings and 16 pages of photos.
4. Which actors would you choose to play your characters in a movie?
KK: 150 of Hollywood’s buffest and cutest and youngest–more than a third of the participants that night were under 21.
5. One sentence synopsis for your book?
KK: What happened on the night of December 16, 1773, placed within a context of what led up to it and what resulted–how it led to the birth of a whole new country.
6. Is your book self-published, published by an independent publisher, or represented by an agency?
KK: Published by Grosset & Dunlap, a division of Penguin.
7. How long did it take you to write the first draft of your manuscript?
KK: At the same time I was thinking Tea Party thoughts, my editor at Penguin, Jane O’Connor, was starting up this new series — WHAT WAS, a spin-off of WHO WAS. The deadline was tight, a matter of months, during which I was drinking tea from morning till night.
8. What other books would you compare this story to within your genre?
KK: Is it conceited to say I hope I’m trying in my way to follow in the footsteps of Jean Fritz?
9. Who or what inspired you to write this book?
KK: American history is endlessly fascinating, and I love getting the chance to portray it as accurately and meaningfully as possible, fighting the good fight against cluelessness.
10.What else about your book might pique the reader’s interest?
KK: It’s controversial! Anyone who enters the fray will get sent a free copy of the book.
And now, I am tagging two upstanding children’s book folks: Helen Foster James , co-author of Paper Son: Lee’s Journey to America and several other popular books, and Carlyn Beccia, illustrator for one of my newest, Louisa May’s Battle and other beautiful books.

IT'S THE NEXT BIG THING!
What is?
Well, it's an awesome meme that encourages authors to talk about their next big thing and then pass on the love.
I've been tagged by two awesome authors, both Texas gals:Joy Preble, author of the DREAMING ANASTASIA books and the upcoming
THE SWEET DEAD LIFE (Soho Press, May 14, 2013), and
Jordan Dane, author of a bunch of books (so many I can't even name them) and the brand new, now available,
INDIGO AWAKENING (Harlequin Teen, December 18, 2012)
Thank you, guys, for the tags!
*****
Rules for The Next Big Thing Blog Hop if you’re tagged:
1. Use this format for your post
2. Answer the ten questions about your current WIP (work in progress)
3. Tag some other writers/bloggers and add their links so we can hop over and meet them. What is your working title of your book?
*****
Where did the idea come from for your book? For
SOLSTICE, the idea came from mythology.
SOLSTICE isn't a myth retelling. It's more a "what happens next." I've always loved the ideas of the gods and goddesses and would love to know more about what they are doing now. So I wrote a book and told my own story!
What genre does your book fall under?Paranormal/Dystopian/Mythology/Romance Teen Young Adult
(which I realize is not one genre)
Which actors would you choose to portray your characters in the movie version of your book?Seriously, I have no idea. This is why I'm not a casting person. People get paid lots of money to decide this very question. And anyway, all the actors I like are like a billion years old by now.
What is the one-sentence synopsis of your book?I kind of like how my agent summarized it in the PM deal announcement:
SOLSTICE is a near-future global heating crisis and a Texas teen who uncovers the strange untold ending of the Persephone myth, only to find that she is part of the story -- and that her choices in love, in family, and in friendship will determine the destiny of her world.Will your book be self-published or represented by an agency?SOLSTICE is being published by Tor Teen (editor Susan Chang) and was represented by my agent, Laura Rennert.
How long did it take you to write the first draft of your manuscript?18 days! This is crazy short, but the story really flowed well. It was kind of magical.
What other books would you compare this story to in your genre?SOLSTICE is like what happens when
MATCHED meets
THE LIGHTNING THIEF.
Who or what inspired you to write this book?I'm going to go back to sixth grade and say that the book
MYTHOLOGY by Edith Hamilton inspired me to write
SOLSTICE!
What else about your book might pique reader’s interest?Well, the official jacket copy is pretty enticing, so I'll go with that:
Piper's world is dying. Each day brings hotter temperatures and heat bubbles that threaten to destroy the earth. Amid this global heating crisis, Piper lives under the oppressive rule of her mother, who suffocates her even more than the weather does. Everything changes on her eighteenth birthday, when her mother is called away on a mysterious errand and Piper seizes her first opportunity for freedom.
Piper discovers a universe she never knew existed—a sphere of gods and monsters—and realizes that her world is not the only one in crisis. While gods battle for control of the Underworld, Piper’s life spirals out of control as she struggles to find the answer to the secret that has been kept from her since birth.Tag, you’re it, MADELINE SMOOT!

The Alchemists Academy Book 1: Stones to Ashes by Kailin Gow
What do you learn here…at the Academy? Wirt asks. Magic? The responsibility to use your powers responsibly? Uh…something like that, his roommate Spencer said. More like how to rule worlds. Wirt, is used to being shuffled from foster home to foster home, adopting a devil-may-care attitude toward the world along the way. Now he s in a school he can t escape, learning to develop his latent magical abilities, for what use, he doesn’t know…to save his world or to destroy it…
Purchase
Excerpt from Stones to Ashes
Wirt screwed his eyes shut, wishing fervently that he was somewhere, anywhere else. Right now, being back with Joan and Peter was looking an awful lot more appetizing. First, though, he had to find some way to get out of here…
Wirt doubled up as his stomach suddenly cramped. For a moment, he though he had been hit, but that hypothesis went by the wayside as the feeling spread to every muscle in his body at once. As far as Wirt knew, and thanks to some of his earlier misadventures he did know, not even three people could manage to hit you everywhere simultaneously. Wirt forced his eyes open, and then quickly shut them again, because the golden radiance surrounding him was simply too bright to look though. Around him, the gasps of the three bullies were clearly audible.
“He’s glowing, Rich. Why is he glowing?”
“How should I know? Look, just grab him.”
“You grab him. He could be radioactive or something, the way he’s glowing.”
“Oh, so it’s all right for me to grab radiation boy, is it?”
The sounds of a scuffle came to Wirt, but they were quickly replaced by silence. He didn’t really care, because by now the unpleasant sensation running through his body had reached unbearable levels, feeling as though every scrap of him were being pulled in a different direction.
As suddenly as it had come, the sensation passed. Wirt had to concentrate just to breathe, and he stood like that for long seconds. He didn’t dare open his eyes, at least until it occurred to him that the three older boys might still be there waiting to hit him. That made his eyes snap open so quickly that for a second he couldn’t make sense of anything around him. When he did, Wirt took a step back, and that itself was surprising enough, given that there should have been a chain link fence in the way. Instead, he was standing in the middle of a field, with no sign of any fences anywhere in sight.
The Alchemists Academy Book 2: Elemental Explosions by Kailin Gow
A new student has entered The Alchemists Academy, and he brings with him an explosive power that threatens the Academy and the legend of Merlin. Wirt thought he was the only bad boy at the Academy, but he was wrong. Not only is Roland Black worse than Wirt, but a new teacher had replaced one of their beloved teachers, and she has more planned for Wirt and his friends than just lesson plans. Alana, his crush has grown prettier, and now he is rivals for her attention with not only his best friend Spencer, but newcomer Roland, as well. On top of that, it is their second year, and the year where all the students must pass a test to move on to the Elite Class at the Academy. The Elite Class is the only class in the third year at the Academy, and the students who fail will be sent home, others will face something even deadlier.
Purchase
Excerpt from Elemental Explosions
The moment didn’t last long, and Wirt opened his gift in a shower of wrapping paper. His parents looked on, those same smiles present on their faces. He looked down into the box, only to see that it was empty. Or not quite empty. Inside was a square of paper, on which careful handwriting stood out clearly. Wirt picked it up and read the words “Merry Christmas, beloved son. You cannot see, taste, or smell your gift, but you will know it when you feel it.”
“What?” Wirt asked. “I don’t understand. Is this some sort of riddle?”
His dream mother and father didn’t say anything. They just smiled and stared at the box in a way that suggested that Wirt was missing something. Not knowing what else to do, Wirt reached down into it, searching it by feel in case there was something at the bottom that he might not have noticed.
There was. Wirt yelped as something closed around his wrist, and tried to yank his arm back. It didn’t move, and as Wirt looked down, he saw dark fingers clasped on his arm. They weren’t just dark-skinned; they were absolutely black, as though carved from onyx or jet. They were as implacable as stone too, refusing to relinquish their grip as Wirt tried to jerk away.
“Help me,” he said to his parents, but they just shook their heads sadly, staring in that way parents had that told you that whatever was happening was for your own good.
The arm pulled at Wirt, and it pulled with far more strength than Wirt had ever experienced. He tried his best to brace himself against it, but slowly, inexorably, the hand drew him towards the box. That swirled with darkness now, and Wirt got the feeling that it was suddenly far deeper than it had been a moment ago.
He found out as the hand dragged him in, though how he fit into the box, Wirt wasn’t sure. He only knew that he fell. Only after a second or two, he wasn’t falling. He was walking along a tunnel instead. The walls were of natural earth, while huge tree roots showed up at intervals like roof beams and standing stones lined the walls, marks on them seeming to tell a story that Wirt could not understand.

Great interview, Donna! I didn't know you were into romantic fiction!
Thanks, Diana! After I became friends with Linore, I started playing around with a story. I think mine could be called "snarky romance." LOL! '<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!
Hi Donna, so nice to hear more about your background and writing process. I find the hardest parts (after the waiting!)is marketing and staying focused. I'm working on so many projects, but some require different skill sets so I do a little here and a little there until they're ready.
I was just stating finding time to write is a problem for me too, Donna. Seems there is a never-ending list of things to accomplish first.<br /><br />I didn't know you were writing novellas for adults now. I'll have to check them out. <br /><br />Thanks for being part of this blog hop.
Yep, sounds like me! I'm afraid social networking has pulled me away from writing more than I'd like. :) <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!
That list gets longer and longer! lol! I have a novella almost ready to go. It's fun and different. Thanks for hopping with me!
