Interview With Author Kristy Dixon
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I have a degree in English from the University of Utah. I have written many books, but this is the first one that is published. I love reading, writing, and cookies. I have nine kids, six chickens, and a cat so we are always going.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The Silver Eclipse: Akkron is my first published book. It is the first in a series. I wrote my first book when I was seven and I’ve been writing ever since. I loved to write western romance books, but I had a hard time finishing them. My son told me to try fantasy since we all love YA fantasy at our house. It was so much more fulfilling and it’s been a fun journey.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I wrote a good portion of my first book while my two year old sat on the couch behind me brushing my hair.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
J.K Rowling, Shannon Messenger, Jane Austen
What are you working on now?
I am in the process of writing the third book in my series and editing the second.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Facebook
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Keep editing until it comes together.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Don’t let other people choose how you feel.
What are you reading now?
I’m not reading anything right now but I’m about to try a new author. I believe her book is called A Dowry of Snails and Mud.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I’m planning on another series in the same world.
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?
