How do you promote this book? Ahh, the million dollar question. This is something I do struggle with. It is increasingly difficult to get noticed amongst the thousands of other books available either online or in brick and mortar stores. I suppose I don’t promote the book insomuch as I try to develop relationships through social media to let people get to know who I am. If they like me, maybe they’ll read my book. I’m pretty active on Goodreads, which I truly enjoy. Of course, there’s Twitter, but I rarely promote my book there. Again, I try to put myself out there so people can get to me as an author. I suppose my next step is getting involved in blogging a little more and following some of the other bloggers out there. It’s something that’s constantly evolving and I hope to gain a better grasp of as I publish more novels.
Will you write others in this same genre? Oh, most definitely. I’m working on the sequel to Redwood Violet at the moment. Then, I have a partial work in progress that I will likely tackle after that. All of which are in the suspense/thriller genre. Intrigue mixed with a little fear is what I love about writing in this genre.
How much of the book is realistic? Sadly, a great deal of this storyline is realistic, I believe. As a parent, parts of it were actually very difficult to write. But, I do feel that I stayed true to the process that take place in these situations.
How important do you think villains are in a story? For me and the stories I like to write, villains are crucial elements to the plot. The ones I write about are disturbing and very frightening individuals. Something about that just appeals to me. That’s not to say, however, that I can relate to my villains on a personal level. They scare me too.
What are your goals as a writer? Honestly, I just want to write stories that people enjoy. I don’t expect great fame and fortune; of course, that would be awesome, but I am realistic and if I am able to contribute enough to help support my family with my writing, then I have accomplished my goal.
Katie Reid is living the quintessential Southern California life. A dream job and her college sweetheart, Spencer top it all off. However, she can’t seem to shake the terrible dreams that have been tormenting her nights these past few months.
