AN INTERVIEW WITH K. DAWN BYRD
This month, K. Dawn Byrd is here to talk about her e-book, This Time for Keeps.
Welcome, K. Dawn!
First, I’d like to ask you how long you’ve been writing?
I've been writing for about three years.
Will you share with us about your publishing journey?
My journey to publication was rather quick, probably because I did so much research before actually starting to write. I love to research and read and studied dozens of books on writing before starting my first book. I'd only been writing for about a year when I placed my first book.
I read on your website that you’ll have four YA novels released in June 2012. What made you switch from the adult books you’ve been writing?
My first young adult novel, Mistaken Identity, released in June 2011. I had so much fun writing it that I've signed contracts for four more for 2012. The young adult novels are so much more carefree than the suspense I'd been writing.
Please tell us about This Time for Keeps.
Here's the cover blurb:
India McGuire's peaceful life is shattered when on the night of her engagement to David Richards, she comes face to face with Chase Porter, a long lost love. India must come to terms with her overpowering feelings for Chase and choose between David, the neighbor who says he loves her, and Chase, the man who broke her heart.
Chase's plans of leaving quietly turn to disaster when he finds that it's impossible to disappear without seeing India one last time. Feelings begin to surface that he believed buried forever and he finds himself fighting to win her back even as David struggles to hold onto her.
India longs to follow her heart, but she's been hurt too deeply. Who will she choose? The neighbor who can provide stability or the man she vowed to love forever who may once again heed to the call of the open road?
What books are you currently reading?
I just finished Brandilyn Collins' Over the Edge today and absolutely loved it. Of course, I love all her books.
What do you do when not writing?
When I'm not writing, I'm reading.
Please tell us where readers can find out more about you and your books.
