Hi Katie Keridan, could you please tell us a bit about your latest release Blood Divided<\/em>?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

My latest book is Blood Divided<\/em>, and it\u2019s the sequel to my debut YA fantasy, Reign Returned<\/em>. If you like enemies-turned-lovers, morally grey assassins, found family, dragons, soulmates across multiple lives, and animals providing sometimes questionable life advice, this is absolutely the series for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

So, what inspired you to start writing in the first place?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I can\u2019t remember a time when I wasn\u2019t writing. As a very small child, I used to take paper and staple it into little books, and then I\u2019d write a story and use markers to illustrate it. I\u2019ve always been driven to express myself through words. I\u2019ve written short stories and poems and kept a journal for most of my life. It\u2019s only been more recently, as an author, that I\u2019ve been able to share my words with other people who (hopefully) enjoy them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You chose to use Bookinfluencers.com<\/a> to find Instagram and Tiktok creators for the promotion of your books. What are your thoughts on collaborating with creators?<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I absolutely LOVE working with creators to promote my books! I did a promotional campaign with Bookinfluencers.com for my first book. It went so well I\u2019m back with the sequel. I\u2019ve been so fortunate to connect with a variety of brilliant and enthusiastic creators. Seeing the intentionality and love they put into their book photos and posts is truly mind-blowing. It\u2019s a team effort\u2026authors write the books, and creators spread the word. It\u2019s such an important relationship that I deeply appreciate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
