JQM PRESENTS A BLOG POST INTERVIEW WITH AUTHOR K. Rose
TELL US ABOUT YOURSELF:
K. Rose has been a part of the Indie Author Community for years. Getting her start as a reader, her keen eye led to a wonderful career in Alpha/Beta and ARC (Advance Reader Copy) reading. As a joke to her fellow advanced reader colleagues, she created a spoofed blurb and cover for a story and the feedback was so positive that it sparked her to run with it. That stoked a fire that has her racing down a multi-genre freeway with no off-ramp in sight. K. doesn’t write to “market” and she is fairly certain that her humor and use of puns may cause an eye roll or two. This still wouldn’t stop her from making sure there is humor in every one of her stories. As a Multi Genre Author, there is sure to be something for everyone to love. She has traveled the USA extensively, including Alaska, and lived in thirty-eight of the fifty states. Home is now the beautiful state of Wisconsin, where she dreams up her stories in the company of her menagerie of furbabies, including five puppies, three rescue kitties, a bunch of chickens, ducks and turkeys ruled by a Rooster named Chicken Parm, a ninety-gallon tropical fish tank and a chatty nineteen-year-old Cherry Headed Conure named Oscar! Life will always be interesting for K. Rose, which will fuel her works, and keep her muses singing, come join the chorus.
WHAT INSPIRES YOU TO WRITE?
I have been insured to write by many things, the main one being that there are stories that I feel need be told that haven’t yet. I also hope that I can help people see that it is okay to cross genre and tropes sometimes. There are no set in stone rules for Fiction..
WHO ARE YOUR FAVORITE AUTHORS? WHY?
I don’t like to pick favorites. I do read a lot of Indie Authors right now, and when prompted the favorite is usually the world I have immersed myself in, and the book or book series I am reading at that time.
WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE BOOKS? WHY?
I tend to read a lot of reverse Harem romance books. I like Paranormal stories and Fantasy as a close finisher in the top spots. These are books that pique my interests the most, and keep my attention. Plus I have a lot of author acquaintances in these particular genre, so I know there is no shortage of books for me to read.
WHO ARE YOUR FAVORITE LITERARY CHARACTERS? WHY?
Again with the favorites thing. I feel like choosing a favorite is diminishing the potential greatness of those that you hadn’t chosen, and for that I reason I don’t like to.
DO YOU HAVE ANY ADVICE FOR FELLOW AUTHORS AND/OR ASPIRING AUTHORS?
FOr Aspiring authors, Take all advice and criticism with a grain of salt. Don’t take anything to heart, and even if you don’t have thick skin, for these situations you really must. Stay away from any reviews that haven’t been prescreened by a friend or VPA, and always look for those that are actually good feedback to polish your crafts going forward. For veteran authors, there is enough room in this industry for all of us! It is a multi million dollar industry, and even if you can write a full novel every month (that’s worth reading) you cannot support the voracious need of some of these readers who can (and do) read a book or two every single day. So raise each other up, be supportive, and know we are all in the same boat.
IMAGINE ONE OF YOUR BOOKS IS ABOUT TO BECOME A FILM OR TV SHOW. WHO IS YOUR “DREAM CAST?” AND WHO DO YOU ASK TO CREATE THE SOUNDTRACK?
I would love to have one of my books made into a show or Movie. The soundtrack done by Highly Suspect, Avatar, Breaking Benjamin, Asking Alexandria, and Halestorm sounds awesome! As for a dream Cast, I like Bill Skaarsgard, Jason Mamoa,Richard Madden, Jake Gyllenhall, Famke Janssen, and/or Jennifer Lawrence .. probably a pricey venture to get them all but in the end I feel like they’d be able to do the book and story justice.
IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WANT TO SHARE WITH POTENTIAL READERS?
I am an author of fantastical fiction and romance. I will genre and trope hop, and I will bend the rules to the point of breaking all in the name of creating a better story. I also have bookish merchandise and wearable available for sale on my website. If there is a specific bookish design you’re looking for, you can always PM me on FB messenger, and perhaps I can design what you are looking for and have it up for sale on my site as well.
