Welcome Ms Krieger, come sit yourself down and lets have a chat!
Please tell us a little
about yourself
I'm a mother of two who
spends her time with way too many cats and plots in my head.
How did you come up with
the idea for your book?
Let's just say my character
Zeara is not the only one who can talk to animals in a unique way.
That and her cat is based off a cat whom I shared my life with a few
years ago.
Once upon a time, a visiting
friend who listened to my cat talk told me I should write a story
about him. Magic was born. He needed a supporting cast, of course, so
I threw some humans in there just to be safe.
Without giving away any
spoilers, was the story always straight forward for you to write, or
did it pop up any surprises along the way?
There were quite a few
surprises I didn't see coming. You'd be amazed what you discover when
you force yourself to pause and look deeper than the main story line.
I prefer on the bed so I can
be surrounded by my cats. It's awkward to write at a desk with a cat
draped over your arm while another tugs at your pants begging to be
held and another flops on your keyboard in a passive aggressive
demand for attention.
Do you read a lot?
More than you'll ever know.
Mwahahaha.
Who are some of your
favourite authors?
Christine Feehan, Laurell K
Hamilton, C. L. Wilson, Piers Anthony, Max Ellendale, Leona Bushman,
and Raven McAllan.
And last but not least,
have you any words of wisdom for aspiring writers out there?
I've said it before, and I'll
say it again, beta readers and crit partners are your best friend if
you truly want to see yourself published. No matter how many titles
you do or do not have under your belt, you are never too good for a
second pair of eyes.
Thanks for having me! I truly
appreciate it. D. F. Krieger
Thanks for stopping by :D

When
D. F. Krieger was banned from writing contests at her school, she
immediately set it in her head that she would become a professional
writer. Since then, she has thrown away her plans of world domination
through books, but she still enjoys writing. Her tastes run from
classy urban witches to dragons, space pirates to shape shifters. By
the time she pens her final book with a hand ravaged by age, she
hopes to introduce her readers to many alternate worlds, lines of
thinking, and captivating characters.
You
can find D. F. on the East Coast, hiding away from the real world
with a gleam in her eye and a plot in her head. She resides with her
husband, kids, and pets; who all kindly put up with her random bouts
of laughter (over things she can't explain) and journal collecting
fetish.
You
can also visit her website: www.dfkrieger.com
to learn about what she's writing, what she already has out, and what
crazy stuff she puts on her blog.
Love the interview. I'm always intrigued to find out how other authors are inspired.
