"I tried to say something. My mouth wouldn’t move. I tried to raise my head and blacked out."
Award winning Paranormal/Dystopian author, Kirsten Campbell
says she is inspired by her children and grandchildren to write stories that
keep them and her audience not only enthralled, but coming back for more!
The New Yorker with a big heart shares with her readers: “Lately,
I’m dabbling in Urban Paranormal Romance. It’s fun and there’s lots of emotion
in the books. I love writing!”
WADIFTS- Why did
you decide to be a writer?
K.C.- “I had lots
of stories and poetry in my head that needed an outlet, so I wrote everything
down.”
WADIFTS- Have you
ever gotten an idea for a story from something really bizarre?
K.C. “Yes. My
short story in “Through the Darkness…”
was based on something bizarre that happened in my life.”

WADIFTS- I read
your contribution to the book… It is palpable, to say the least. What are you working
on now?
K.C. “My G.O.D.s
Series books, Urban Paranormal Dystopian/ Romance. I am at the editing stage of
the second book.”
WADIFTS- This is
your signature series, garnering awards and several notable interviews. Have
you ever had a particularly harsh critique? If so, how did you handle it?
K.C. “I take all
my critiques very seriously and endeavor to do better the next time, but I have
learned that you can’t please everyone.”
WADIFTS- Out of curiosity, if you were stranded on a
deserted island, and you could only have five books with you, what would they
be?
K.C. a. Through
the Darkness ~ Stories of Hope
b.*Blood Master Book 1 of
the G.O.D.s Series/ Kirsten Campbell
c.*Servant of the Bones/
Anne Rice
d.*Dune/ Frank Herbert
e.- I know why the Caged
Bird Sings/ Maya Angelou
WADIFTS- I see that some of
your choices are outside of your creative genres of Urban Paranormal Dystopian,
Speculative, Science Fiction and Nonfiction.
K.C. “I don’t write in any
specific genre. I write in several genres and enjoy each, but my favorite is
Urban Paranormal.”
WADIFTS- Quid-pro-quo- Pantser or Outliner?
K.C.- “I’m definitely an
outliner. I like to know where my story is going and if I have to add anything,
I add to the outline.”
WADIFTS- If you
could choose an author to be your mentor, who would it be?
K.C. “Anne Rice. I love her writing.”
WADIFTS- What
book or series do you enjoy reading over and over again?
K.C. “Star
Wars/Trilogy, Ender’s Game & Dune.”

WADIFTS- Being
employed as a Legal/ Funds Assistant at an Investment Firm doesn’t leave you
much spare time. How many books are on your reading list?
K.C.- “About
fifty. (I have some manga in there, too!) The Mirror Cracked. This is Me. Souls
of the Reaper and, Vampire Knight.”
WADIFTS- What is
the best compliment you've ever received as an author?
K.C.- “I’m in love with Griffin Storm, the main character in first
G.O.D.s series book, Blood Master.”
WADIFTS- Do you
have any advice for other authors?
K.C. “Yes. Don’t think, do. Just do it, get it
written and then get it published. There now. Nuff said!”
