Interview With Author Randa Knight
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m about to release my second book in the Boys of Bragg series. The series was inspired by a creative writing assignment in college. I have four gorgeous and sweet boys along with my husband all of which are in the Army.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The Art of Love will be released in July. I’m not sure what inspired this book, but I kept seeing Mike’s younger sister while writing A Change of Heart. I wanted to know her story and why she put up with what she did from their family. Also, what makes this sweet family-oriented gal break.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Not really. I write while my husband plays video games in the evening. He sits on the loveseat while I type away on the sofa.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I adore Meghan Quinn that girl cracks me up so much.
What are you working on now?
I’m working on characterizations for book 4 and the outline too.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I don’t think I have a best method. I do use TikTok and Insta quite a bit. I also send a bi-monthly newsletter.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Write. Even if you don’t feel like it, write badly. Bad writing can be fixed in revision, but you can’t revise a blank page.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Know your characters. Treat them like real people.
What are you reading now?
Meghan Quinn Not so cute meet.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Drafting book 4!
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?
For one, I would try to cheat by bringing my Kindle. But if I was busted and could only bring paperbacks then I would grab:
The Great Gatsby –I love Daisy even if I should hate her. It’s a classic.
Stephen King’s On Writing–he admits his writing fears which are not much different than mine.
Meghan Quinn–The Brentwood Series
