Interview With Author Lori Rotter and New Release

By way of introduction, here is Lori Rotter’s bio:

Lori is an award-winning toy designer and debut picture book author. Her large extended family keeps her laughing and inspires her story and toy ideas.

Like in her toys, Lori enjoys sparking the imagination and adding small details for kids to discover. Lori lives in Bedford, New York with her husband Steve, lots of fish, and two silly French bulldogs.

Hello, Lori, welcome to Angel Kiss Publications. Thank you for agreeing to do this interview.

Thank you for having me.

When did the writing bug ensnare you?

I’ve always wanted to write children’s stories. Even as a young kid, I was making up stories.

Ideas are constantly swirling in my head, but a busy job always made it challenging to sit down and write. During Covid, I found the time and energy to start putting these thoughts on paper.

Is writing your full-time profession?

No, it is not. I am a design professional and work in the toy industry. I design and develop toys (mostly in the preschool and girls toys areas).

The toys in the photograph below were designed and developed with one of my toy company clients, Sunny Days Entertainment.

How long have you been writing?

I have been writing toy copy for several years as part of my job. I started writing children’s stories about 3 years ago.

How many published books have you written?

Best Dinosaur Ever is my debut children’s book.

Which genre do you write?

Children’s stories / Picture books

What do you find most challenging writing for these genre?

As a new writer, there are lots of creative challenges! The word count for a children’s book makes it challenging to tell a concise story that has a conflict and resolution in a relatively short number of words.

I also love rhyming stories since kids mimic and repeat key phrases. Writing in prose is hard enough, but telling a successful story in rhyme, in the correct meter, and within the appropriate word count can range from frustration to sheer joy when it all comes together. 

What are you working on now?

A story about a little frog who is overly self-conscious about the ‘unfrog-like’ sounds he makes.

Where do you find inspiration for your characters?

Kids in my family. I also love to humanize animals and use them as characters in stories.

What has been your most rewarding experience since publishing your work?

I was brave to leave my comfort zone and explore creative writing while finding the resources to support my efforts to publish a book. Hearing how the final story resonates with kids and adults is wonderful.

What advice would you give to authors just starting out?

Never give up and have faith. Keep writing, rewriting, and rewriting.

Find mentors who are authors, editors, and illustrators who can help guide you in your writing journey. It has been surprising (and rewarding) to meet people who continue to help and advise me in this adventure.

Is there anything else you’d like your readers to know about you?

I’m an identical twin with a younger sister and brother (born five years later on our birthday!)

I am also blessed to have stepchildren who have children, making me a grandma of 7 grandkids (they call me Lola, and there is lots of inspiration for storytelling!).

I love to sing (mostly in the car) and to bake (much to the chagrin of my husband Steve and his healthy diet!)

What message are you sharing in your books?

Belief in yourself and positivity.

What are your favorite children’s/young adult books?

Chronicles of Narnia (especially The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe), Harry Potter, and Jan Brett books for her storytelling and beautiful illustrations.

If you could create an author’s group with writers from any time period, who would you invite?

I’ve always loved art history, particularly the artists from the Renaissance period. It would be amazing to talk with author friends of Leonardo Da Vinci’s or Michelangelo’s!

Who has influenced your writing the most?

I like the work of Sheree Fitch, Julia Donaldson, Anna Dewdney.

When you’re not writing where can we find you?

With my extended family or catching up with friends.  I love to be outdoors with our two French bulldogs or baking in the kitchen.

A movie producer wants to turn your book into a movie, and you get to make a cameo. What would you do in the movie?

I would like to be helping Milo with his top secret dinosaur costume.

An elf named 12-25 approaches you. He’s sneezing, wheezing, coughing and there’s a strange tattoo of a snoring dog on his cheek. What do you do?

First, offer him tissues or maybe a hot chocolate. Ask him if I can give him a more elf-like nickname like “Twinkle,” “Jolly,” or “Wink” (vs. 12-25, which is “Christmas”).

As for his cheek tattoo, I would assume he must have a favorite French bulldog companion who snores a lot (which I’m familiar with because of my French bulldogs).

What are your most effective marketing strategies?

I’m still learning as a new author. It’s the next endeavor!

Do you have a website/Facebook page, etc.?

I have a website that is coming soon: LFRcreative.com (it highlights my book as well as some of my toy projects).

Where can we find your books?

Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Goodreads, Ingram Spark

Thank you, Lori, for spending time with us and sharing your story. We wish you continued success and lots of luck!

Available on Amazon

Nothing is impossible with a goal and lots of practice!

Meet Milo, a little boy with a big imagination and a bigger love of dinosaurs. While flipping through his books one night, Milo asks Dad, ‘If I were a dino, what kind would I be?’

Dad explains that little boys can’t be dinosaurs, but Milo is unconvinced. If he physically can’t measure up to a ‘real’ dinosaur, then maybe Milo would be his own kind of dinosaur.

Milo pointed to dinos with very large claws,
With razor-sharp teeth inside mighty big jaws.
He wiggled his tooth and looked down at his nose,
“My teeth are not sharp … and for claws, I have toes.”

This funny, read-aloud book will have kids practicing with Milo on his quest to find his best dino-self. With humor and determination, Milo will prove his family wrong and discover that the best dinosaur will never be extinct!

K.M. Jenkins is a published international bestselling author that writes epic battles, forbidden romance, and tales of fantasy and adventure.

Hello, Katie, welcome to Angel Kiss Publications. Thank you for agreeing to do this interview.

Thank you for having me.

When did the writing bug ensnare you?

Ever since I was a kid in elementary school, I loved writing stories for assignments. I remember one time having a Halloween story to write in third grade.

They had us make a book cover and add two sheets of paper to it. I ended up adding like ten and had the longest story out of the class. If I remember correctly, it was a vampire story.

Is writing your full-time profession?

Right now, I’m a full-time mom and author. When the kids are at school, I work on my books and then spend the rest of the day with the kids when they get home.

How long have you been writing?

I’ve been writing since I was 18. In 2018, I finally started to publish my short stories. Later, I compiled them into a collection titled Tales of Ferrês. It took me over a year to release all the short stories.

Now in October of this year I will release my first novel from my Half-Blood Academy Series.

How many published books have you written?

At this time, I have released a collection of short stories titled Tales of Ferrês and plan to release my second book in October 2021 titled, The Seeker’s Core.

Which genres do you write?

I’m a young adult speculative fiction author. I currently have short stories in the realm of Fantasy. My upcoming book is Sci-Fi Fantasy.

I also have a work in progress that will come out next year, that is Urban Fantasy. So, I mostly write Fantasy, Paranormal Romance, Sci-Fi, or Horror.

What do you find most challenging about writing for these genres?

The hardest thing about writing in these genres is the world building. It takes so long to construct a world. I find I want to get writing before I’m ready to take that step.

Usually, I will work out a chapter guideline to follow so that way I don’t get lost.

What are you working on now?

I have two projects I’m currently working on. The first has been going on for over a year and I soon will get it wrapped up.

Gargoyle Sighted is the book, and I’ve been releasing each chapter to my subscribers for a while now. I should have this wrapped and ready to release this coming summer of 2022.

The second project is a novella titled The SwordMaster Brothers. These two brothers will take a test before the GrandMaster to see if they are worthy to be called SwordMasters.

They each must fight alone and face their biggest fear. But they must live in order to earn the title.

Where do you find inspiration for your characters?

I find inspiration from people I meet, to movies I watch, to books I read.

It is hard to say when inspiration comes, but it is fun to find out what little thing will jog a scene into creation or who will inspire a character I create.

What has been your most rewarding experience since publishing your work?

I would say the most rewarding experience is receiving emails from my readers.

It puts into perspective how well you do with a book when a reader reaches out and says they love it.

What advice would you give to authors just starting out?

Help your fellow authors out because they will help you in return.

This will not only help you grow in the author industry, but will help you grow your reader base.

Is there anything else you’d like your readers to know about you?

I’m a nerd at heart. I love collecting fairies, dragons, and swords. I also love playing Dice Masters and Magic the Gathering with my fiancé and friends.

I always have a book at the ready to read, sometimes even two or three. I have a long to read list and thanks to Kindle Unlimited; I get everything I need.

Did I mention I usually read around 70-100 books a year?

What message are you sharing in your books?

One of the powerful elements I put in my stories is the family bond between individuals.

Like in The Seeker’s Core, I focus on the pull a child has towards her mother and the bond brought together by a stepfather.

What are your favorite books?

I am a big fan of The Harry Potter Series, The Inheritance Series, and the Dragon Lance books. I grew up reading these series and still enjoy them to this day.

Created on Canva.com

If you could create an author’s group with writers from any time period, who would you invite?

I’m not big on classics much. If I could pick several authors, they are Stephanie Ayers, Allison D. Reid, Hope Hart, Lee Savino, Renee Rose, Lili Zander, and Miranda Bridges.


I mainly picked these authors because I know them and would love to meet them in person or I enjoyed their books so much I devour everything they publish.

Who has influenced your writing the most?

I would say, hands down, it is my editor and long-time friend Allison Reker. She also writes under: Allison D. Reid. She inspires me to do better and learn new things about my craft.

When you’re not writing, where can we find you?

I would love to say in the mountains hiking and breathing fresh air.

But most likely you will find me curled up on my couch reading books or watching TV with my kids.

Created on Canva.com

A movie producer wants to turn your book into a movie, and you get to make a cameo. What would you do in the movie?

I would love to do a battle scene. They are my favorite scenes to write and would love to get my hands on a sword or battle-axe. It would feel like I’m in Lord of the Rings or something on the order of that.

An elf named 12-25 approaches you. He’s sneezing, wheezing, coughing and there’s a strange tattoo of a snoring dog on his cheek. What do you do?

One I would hope I’m wearing a mask and have hand sanitizer on hand.

But then I would go over and help the elf get somewhere to rest so he could catch his breath.

Once he calmed down and got everything under control, I would then probably ask about the tattoo. Because who wouldn’t?

Then I would probably sit there for hours just chatting until we both parted ways.

What are your most effective marketing strategies?

I try new stuff all the time. Right now, I share in groups on Facebook, then post on my Instagram and Pinterest.

I also do some paid advertising newsletter services. Those get you in front of a broader range of readers.

Then the FREE options are to do newsletter swaps with authors in your target audience, Bookbub swaps, Bookstagram swaps, and blog tours.

It is a never-ending list of things you can do for a new release. The hard part is finding those readers that will take a chance on a new author.

But the marketing strategies always change with the industry, and it keeps you on your toes.

Do you have a website/Facebook page, etc?

Currently, my website is under construction.

I am in the works of creating a Pen Name for myself that targets adult readers with erotic contemporary, Sci-Fi, PNR, and Fantasy.

The plan is to bring both my names under one branding.

My current Facebook page is: https://www.facebook.com/dualminds2021.

Where can we find your books?

Tales of Ferrês can be found at your favorite retailer online in ebook and print.

https://books2read.com/tofbundlebook1

The Seeker’s Core can be found on Amazon Kindle Unlimited. It will drop on October 15, 2021.

Make sure to grab it to have it show up in your reader on release day.

Right now, The Seeker’s Core is available in print for those that love a paperback over ereaders.

The Magic Of Music: Guest Post By C.O. Bonham

The Magic of Music:
The power of music and the soundtrack of Runaway Lyrics


Music is the closest thing to magic we can wield in this world.

Think about what music does. It moves our emotions. Music can force the happiest man to shed a tear. It makes the brave feel fear.

With music the scared feel calm. The sad are uplifted. Music can paint a picture in the mind’s eye. It can inspire. It can create worlds we can only dream of.

So when I started writing a musical magic system, I knew I was going to need a fantastic playlist.


Once I knew that my main characters favored the violin over other instruments, I thought of Lindsey Stirling.

Her modern take on violin music has the perfect amount of magic and wonder. 

For Runaway Lyrics, I listened to Lindsey Stirling. If you’ve never heard of her go google her right now. I picked out one of her songs for each of the major musical moments in the book.


Only two of the major music moments are music other than Lindsey Stirling. They reference other stories that have been adapted to the musical format of either opera or ballet.


The sound track:
 I have a YouTube playlist of music videos that correspond to specific parts of the book:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLK8DRS5lDIJblN566s384zlEvkYpw9zxY


· Opening: “Endgame of Thrones”

This song emphasizes the odds that the sisters find themselves at. Each with different goals and different dreams.·

The song Rose plays in chapter five to control the storm is “Take Flight.”· The song Snow plays in the solarium during the hunter’s attack is “A Midsummer Night’s Dream’’ by William Shakespeare.

(In the book I call it an opera, but I write better to Instrumental than sung, so I used the ballet version on the playlist.)·

The song that Snow plays to freeze the Fae Slavers in the forest is “The Little Match Girl’’ by Hans Christian Andersen. The Song of Shattered Sight is “Shatter Me.”

Obviously.· During the lighthouse scene with the kraken, listen to “Master of Tides.”· “Zelda Medley” is in the forest when Snow and Bayare get cornered by Grand Wizard Arken.

I needed a lot of distinct tones, so a medley worked for this. (Can you tell when the forest fire starts?)· 

The song of Entropy is “Elements.”· The epic fight against Arken is “Dragon Age.”·

Epilogue music is “Kingdom Hearts.”· “What you’re made of,” is inspiring and serves as an ending credits song.· The last video on the playlist is just Amazing Violin Music that I used while writing.


If you listen to the playlist, or if you don’t, I hope you enjoyed learning about the musical inspiration for the novel. Writing each scene was easier when I knew what the music sounded like.


Were you already a Lindsey Stirling fan? If not, I hope you give her a listen. What kind of music do you like? 

Featured New Release:

Available on Amazon

She has spent her entire life learning new instruments and memorizing new pieces, only to while away her life in a country manor with only her mother and twin sister as company.

The things she can do with music would amaze her twin sister, but whenever she shows her, Snow quickly forgets as if the event had never happened.

When an airship crashes near their home, Snow’s magical abilities awaken. Together the sisters must learn to use their magic, rescue a pair of cursed princes, and discover their own secrets.

By way of introduction, here is Kendra E. Ardnek’s bio:

Kendra E. Ardnek is the self-proclaimed Arista of Fairy Tales.

She lives in the Piney Woods of East Texas with her dragon babies and massive herd of mini-giraffes, and she is still waiting for one of of her fifty nutcrackers to come to life and marry her.

When not writing, you can usually find her sitting in a random box, and she’s frequently known to act before she thinks.

Hello, Kendra, welcome to Angel Kiss Publications. Thank you for agreeing to do this interview.

Thank you for having me.

When did the writing bug ensnare you? 

I always knew that the written word was my destiny (I share a birthday with two famous authors), and I’ve been making up stories since I understood the concept

I wasn’t serious until I was eleven or so and decided to rewrite my own movie version of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.

Where do you find inspiration for your characters?

Anywhere and everywhere. The characters of this book are all based on those of Jane Austen’s work, but I have one in another project that literally developed out a skirt. She’s a Dragon Fairy.

What has been your most rewarding experience since publishing your work? 

Getting to connect with readers who fall in love with my characters and worlds just as much as I am.

What advice would you give to authors just starting out?

Take your time. Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither will your story. Each word you write will get better. Focus on loving your stories, not writing a masterpiece. 

What are your favorite books?

Ella Enchanted, That Hideous Strength, The Ilyon Chronicles, The Chronicles of Narnia, The Lunar Chronicles, Emma, Elven Alliance, The Four Kingdoms, and lots more. I like a lot of books.

Created on Canva.com

If you could create an author’s group with writers from any time period, who would you invite?

The problem with this question is that my brain immediately goes to the Inklings and its ultimate implosion. Honestly, the groups I have are amazing and I wouldn’t trade them for anything.

A movie producer wants to turn your book into a movie, and you get to make a cameo. What would you do in the movie?

Probably be a villager or a servant or some such. Though I would really want to play the Mistress. 

What are your most effective marketing strategies?

I’ve been in the publishing scene for ten years now, and it’s a constantly evolving process.

But the timeless guidelines are—Keep your book visible (don’t worry about being the annoying author who always talks about her own books. (SHOW THOSE BABIES OFF.)

Have a great cover and be able to pitch your book in a single sentence (I highly recommend Finding the Core of Your Story by Jordan Smith to learn how to do this).

Create a community for your readers and promote a fandom. Word of mouth is the most powerful tool, and people love a club. 

Do you have a website/Facebook page, etc?

Interview With Author Katherine Monroe

By way of introduction, here is Katherine Monroe’s bio:

A native of Poland, Katherine Monroe, is an artistic soul who enjoys learning foreign languages and writing stories in various genres, with flavors from many cultures (especially East Asia).

Hello, Katherine, welcome to Angel Kiss Publications. Thank you for agreeing to do this interview.

Thank you for having me.

When did the writing bug ensnare you?

I think it was when I was between 10 and 12 years old. My family and I were on vacation with my uncle, when my younger sister and I made a contest with him to write the best short horror story – it was then I thought about being a writer in the future.

Is writing your full-time profession?

Unfortunately, no, I’m just beginning my journey. I can’t pay my bills with money from books yet, so I have to work in other fields as well.

How long have you been writing?

I started as a 10-year-old, so I have been writing for 20 years, of course with some hiatus along the way since my teens to late twenties.

Have you won any literary awards?

I won 2nd place in a popularity contest on Fictionate.me, the main platform I publish on, with my thriller novel Blossom Tears.

How many published books have you written?

Six novels, counting in the three parts of my series Light & Darkness. Another two are in the making 🙂

Which genres do you write?

Mostly Fantasy/Romance, but I wrote two novels from the Thriller/Crime/Suspense genres.

What do you find most challenging writing for these genres?

Thriller is the most challenging since I rarely write in this genre because it’s hard to write a good thriller suspense story. Fantasy is quite easy for me because it lets me freely use my imagination.

What are you working on now?

I will be writing Light & Darkness: Book 4 and currently I am writing a Fantasy/Romance novel called Love of the Snow-White Fox.

Where do you find inspiration for your characters?

In a lot of places: music, movies, other books, sometimes all around me, while meeting various people.

What has been your most rewarding experience since publishing your work?

Every positive comment, where people say they loved the story, is rewarding, showing me I should keep on writing because my novels can make others happy.

What advice would you give to authors just starting out?

Never give up, especially if writing is something you love to do, read a lot, learn from others to improve your writing, look for inspiration everywhere: from various cultures to everyday life, you never know where you’ll find a great book idea.

Is there anything else you’d like your readers to know about you?

I just want them to know I appreciate every opinion and hope that my novels are making them happy.

What message are you sharing in your books?

Most of my books contain a “love can change the world” idea, so I wish my readers would regain hope in the strength of love, since I believe in it with all my heart.

What are your favorite books?

I love Stephen King’s works, also Anne Rice and Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Overall horror books are my favorite, mostly in vampiric themes. I also like period romances like Jane Austen’s books.

If you could create an author’s group with writers from any time period, who would you invite?

Anne Rice for sure, Bram Stoker and Jane Austen for sure 🙂

Also, Stephen King, of course. And many more I don’t remember right now.

Who has influenced your writing the most?

I think maybe Japanese anime. Many of my fantasy novels have elements of it. Korean detective dramas definitely inspired my thriller’s.

When you’re not writing, where can we find you?.

Anywhere there is good music, peace and nature.

A movie producer wants to turn your book into a movie, and you get to make a cameo. What would you do in the movie?

Hmm, that’s a hard question, but maybe as a passerby? I don’t want any big role, to be honest 🙂

An elf named 12-25 approaches you. He’s sneezing, wheezing, coughing and there’s a strange tattoo of a snoring dog on his cheek. What do you do?

I would definitely ask if he needed any help, also about his tattoo, and maybe I would also give him some hot tea with honey.

What are your most effective marketing strategies?

Just promoting on social media, I guess. Although I’m not the best at marketing 🙂

But for sure, a pretty graphic or video about your novel is always eye-catching.

Do you have a website/Facebook page, etc?

Yes, on Facebook you can find me as Katherine Monroe, which is my pen name, facebook.com/KatherineMonroePL . I also have an active Instagram as eastasiaaddict_pl

Where can we find your books?

Most of them are on Fictionate.me or Dreame platform.

I also have some on reading apps like Readict, GoodNovel, OnReading, Libri & Bravonovel.

Book Excerpt:

“Your Grace,” they all heard Grace say, “Your wonderful sister has returned.” 

Aria could almost hear the smile in her voice. 

“I see that,” the young man at the front of the room said. His voice was deep and gravely. Aria found it a little scary, if she was honest. 

“And why is it that my sister returns days later than expected,” he asked. Aria could hear him getting up, his chair scraping the floor. 

“Unforeseen complications, Your Grace,” Grace said. Aria was sure that she was smiling now. She could hear him coming down the steps towards them.

She decided to look up. 

He walked towards Grace. When he was standing in front of her, he reached down and offered her his hand. She grasped it, and he pulled her up. And to Aria’s surprise, he hugged her.

Grace wrapped her hands around his neck while he placed one hand on her back and the other on her head. He kissed her cheek before letting her go. 

“Are you okay? Did everything go smoothly,” he asked in a quiet voice.

“Yeah, it was fine,” Grace said. 

He nodded and finally looked past her to the group of people kneeling in the center of the room. 

His eyes landed on Aria’s first. She dropped hers to the ground a second later. 

She heard him take a few steps towards her. He stopped right in front of her. She decided not to look up.

He stood there for a few moments before moving on, walking around the group in a circle. When he was in front of Aria again, he spoke up.

“What the hell is this,” he asked.

Still, Aria didn’t look up. She was pretty sure no one else did, either. 

“I said the exact same thing,” Grace said, joining the king at the front of the group. 

“They’re a bunch of children,” he said, with a little edge to his voice. “Look at them. Not a single one of them can be over the age of twenty. These are the people that the Terra just had to get rid of? As if they’re some great threat,” he said. 

“Apparently,” Grace said. 

“How have they survived? They’re practically skin and bones,” he said like this was some sort of trick. Aria could feel anger replacing her fear. “And you couldn’t have soaked them in some water before bringing them here? They’re absolutely filthy,” he said. 

Aria could feel herself getting tense. Her knee was starting to ache, but she didn’t dare look up. Not just yet. 

“This is their leader,” Grace said.

The king took a step towards Aria. He put a hand on her chin and pushed her head up, making her finally lift her eyes from the ground. 

“Aria…” he said, sounding her name out. “Aria from under the ground. Rise,” he said. 

She stood up; she wasn’t sure how. Her legs felt like jelly. Being closed off in this room, with nowhere to run, made her feel like she was back in that tiny dirt room, trapped. 

He studied her face for a few minutes. 

She felt her cheeks flame under his scrutinizing gaze, aware of how dirty she was. 

“Tell me, Aria, from under the ground, how has such a little girl managed to survive all this time? How has a child convinced brutal warriors not to kill her and her friends? How have you caused so much trouble for the Terra that they would be desperate to be rid of you?”

Something about his tone and the mockery in his eye made Aria angrier than she’d ever been. 

“I don’t know…but perhaps you will find out,” she said before she could stop herself. 

But the king only smirked. 

“Perhaps I will,” he said.
