Interview with Kinetic Author S.K. Anthony

I'm really excited to welcome S.K. Anthony here for an interview as part of her Kinetic Blog Tour. Kinetic was officially released yesterday and I've no doubt it is an excellent read. I'm looking forward to finding that out for myself. Congratulations to SK!!

Tell us about Kinetic.

It follows a broken-hearted Luminary, Annie Fox. She works as a crime-fighter and uses her “special skills” to kick some serious butt. Annie will have to struggle with the fact that her ex-husband, Nick Logan, is now the evil she is supposed to bring down. The problem is, if she even gets close enough to him, she will hand him the weapon that will allow him to destroy everyone she loves: herself.

Kinetic is an urban fantasy. Is this your favorite genre to write in? 

Not necessarily. I love the fantasy world, but I’m a sucker for the romantic aspect in all books.

When did you realize you wanted to be a writer?

Probably around the age of fifteen. I always enjoyed writing poems and songs, but in high school, I tried my hand at some short stories and even a five-minute screenplay, and I knew that I wanted to be a part of the writing world. With insecurities though, it took a long time to develop the nerves to go for it.

Do you write full-time or do you also have a “day job?” If so, what is it?

Yes, I have a day job: I’m a mom lol. I’ve been at home for a year now, raising my 2-year-old twins during the day and being a full-time writer at night.

What do you enjoy most about writing? 

Possibilities. The possibilities of anything and everything gets my heart pumping!

Anything you don’t enjoy or struggle with when it comes to your writing?

Revisions. I can go from really loving them to really being stressed out by them.

What other passions or interests do you have besides writing?

Sleeping! With little kids and only writing at night, sleeping is a passion of mine lol. I do also love reading, dancing, and running. Though running doesn’t happen as often as I would like. 

What would you consider your dream vacation?

At the moment, being in a cabin with a warm fireplace sounds perfect for writing (and sleeping).

What’s your favorite place you’re ever visited?

Hmm, tough one. I’ll go with Hawaii. It was beautiful, romantic, and exciting!

Which of your characters would you say you are most like? Least like?

I think I am a combination of the MC Annie and another character named Kevin. I would say I am least like “the B,” Lisa.

What can you tell us about your next book? 

      It will be the second book in The Luminaries series and you’ll meet the MC in  
      Kinetic ;)
