Khelsey was so cute and gaved me an interview. Check it out:
I know that this is the question that
every writer hates, but everyone always asks: How do you get
inspired?From where do you get your ideeas?
KJ- I get most of my ideas when I am
walking my dog, and in the shower.
What did you always want to be?How do
you decided to be a writer?At what age do you decided you want to be
a writer?
KJ- Growing up I wanted to be a
police officer. I really didn’t want to be an author until 2 years
ago. I was reading The Vampire Academy and thought I could do this. I
was 22.
How do you keep on staying motivated?I
know that to write a book its a really hard work,so how could you
continue this work?
KJ- I take a lot of breaks.
Sometimes the voices in my head won't talk to me, so I would read.
Reading helps me when I can't write. Kallos is my largest book, about
253 pages and it took me a year to write.
I know that Acidalia is a great
story, so how do you decided you want to write fantasy?When did you
began to write this book?In what year did you began and how long this
book take to be write?
KJ- After read Richelle Mead's
series, and a bunch of other YA books I wanted to try. I have always
been in love with gods and goddesses, so I wanted to write something
with them in it. In January 2011 I started researching gods and
goddess and began to write Kallos. Acidalia I wrote after I wrote
Kallos. I sent Kallos to Crushing Hearts and Black Butterfly April 17
2012. A month later I had an email saying they wanted Kallos.
Acidalia has extraordinary
characters.Where do you start a book,with plot,characters or
dialogue?
KJ- I let my characters speak for
themselves. I know a lot of authors plan their books out, and I
don’t. I like to leave it in their hands, and hope they play nice.
Where do you write?Do you write with
music, or do you have something that help you to have imagination?
KJ- I write on my couch, and I write
to music, I have my MP3 player's volume on the highest! Kallos and
Acidalia were mostly written to 30 Seconds to Mars.
How was your life 13 years?Did you kept
a diary?It was a special notebook or just an ordinary
notebook?You decorated it, or you have
draws in it? How was the cover?.
KJ- At 13 I was shy and very boy
crazy!! I tried to keep a diary but I couldn’t keep up with it. But
it was pretty, the cover was pink with white flowers on it.
What books did you read between 12-18
years?What was your favorite?
KJ- I loved The Princess Diaries,
and I just found out there are like 16 books in that series now.
Do you like
your new writer life?Is it beautiful, or how much did your life
changed from the moment you published Acidalia?
KJ- I love all the people I am
meeting because of it. Another thing I love are the reviews!! I love
knowing what people think of it. I cant wait for everyone to read
Kallos.
What advice do you have for teen
writers?
KJ- My advice is don’t give up,
and if you love your story then keep at it. Let your friends and
family read your story, and ask them what they think. I am lucky to
have some amazing author friends that kept my spirits up when I sent
my book in.
When is your birthday? And how old are
you?
KJ- My birthday is April 17, and I am 24 years old.
What is your favorite quote?
KJ- We loved with a love that was
more than love.
--Edgar Allan Poe
Thank you very much, you are
incredible! What message do you have for your fans from Romania?
KJ- I hope you all enjoy Acidalia
and Kallos. And thank you all for the love and email I am already
getting.
