Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Hey, my name is Katherine Lindsay, and I’m 24 years old! By day I’m a medical assistant, by night, I’m a writer, and in between, I’m a dog mom! I have been writing since eight years old and written my first book when I was twelve. Fun Fact: I am still writing my very second novel in which it has been through ten revisions since I was fifteen years old. Hoping to put it out for my birth month this year giving it a ten-year special. In total, I have written about five books, twenty in storage half-written and ready to be done, and one actually published. If you couldn’t tell, my brain only thinks about stories. Too bad, I can’t write them, as fast as they come. One by one they will get done…hopefully! LOL
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is “The Way You Kiss Me” the first in its series. This book has been a long time coming as I wrote the full version back in 2018. But I was so invested in the characters and story that I wanted to break it up into different parts. The whole idea came to me from a song I heard at three in the morning. As soon as I heard the song, I saw the book like a movie in my head from start to finish!
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I have to listen to lofi hip-hop when I write. I don’t know why but it gives me inspiration and fuels my brain to keep going. I also love to map out the story before I write, so it kind of guides me through the chapters, flawlessly. I don’t know if they are unusual but it’s my traditions I like to think I do.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Nicholas Sparks, John Green, Nora Roberts, Rebecca Lim, James Patterson, and much more!
What are you working on now?
I am working on my next book hoping to publish it by July! It’s called Written in the Stars! That was an exclusive! Lol, haven’t formally said this anywhere else. But I’m excited this book is going to leave the reader guessing until the end, so it’s quite thrilling! Just a different book to write, so I’m taking my time.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
New to self-publishing so haven’t got a clue! But I do have a website in which I write blogs, and I love using Instagram! Twitter I’m getting used too, and Facebook is a whole different ball game!
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Yes!! I wrote this on twitter the other day and thought it’d be perfect to share!
“You live, you learn, you conquer. No one is going to stop you from chasing your dreams. If you are passionate about it, you’re not going to lose faith. Believe in your craft so others can too”
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Follow your dreams, or you’ll spend the rest of your life working for someone who did
What are you reading now?
I just bought the Crazy Rich Asians book trilogy! I love the movie but haven’t got around to reading the books, so I’m excited!
What’s next for you as a writer?
The mind of a writer never stops, so I’m jumping back into writing my next book for July release!
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
The art of racing in the Rain by Garth Stein.
The bend in the road by Nicholas Sparks
NYPD red series by James Patterson
