Please tell us a bit about yourself:
Hi everyone! I’m
Kaitlyn Davis, Kay Marie, and just Kaitlyn to my friends :)
I write young and
new adult fantasy series under the name Kaitlyn Davis, and I write contemporary
romances under the name Kay Marie! My most popular series is probably my
paranormal romance, Midnight Fire, but I've also written an epic fantasy
series, A Dance of Dragons, a chick lit series, Confessions, and a twisted
fairy tale series, Once Upon A Curse!
My newest book,
Frost (Midnight Ice Book 1), is the first book in a brand new spin-off series
to Midnight Fire, and I’m super pumped to be writing paranormal romance again!
Tell us about Frost (Midnight
Ice Book 1):
Whoops, I guess I
jumped the gun a little on the last question J Like I said, Frost is the first book in a new paranormal
romance series that’s a spin-off of my most popular series, Midnight Fire. Old
characters make appearances, but it’s a brand new magical tale!
The story follows
a vampire thief named Pandora who ran away from home four years before the book
begins. But now, her ex-boyfriend has tracked her down and he’s determined to
bring her home. Oh, and there’s a mystery man following her around, claiming
they’ve met before. A seriously powerful vampire is trying to kill her. And,
well, the fate she’s been trying to outrun? It’s about to catch up.
What inspired you to write this
particular story?:
I’ve always
wanted to revisit the world I created in my Midnight Fire series, but every
idea that came to mind seemed insufficient—until Pandora popped into my brain!
The moment this badass yet vulnerable vampire thief came to life, I knew her
story was the one I’d been waiting for. And before I knew it, the ideas were
flowing. Her backstory. Her romance. Her impossible odds. Now, I just need to
work on solving her happy ending J But I have a few more books to go before I get there, so I’ve got
plenty of time!
Which comes first for you – a
character's looks, personality or name?:
Definitely not a
name! I absolutely hate naming my characters—I spend hours scouring baby name
websites. For some reason, I find names to be the most frustrating part of the
writing process!
For almost all of
my characters, it’s personality and backstory. Their conflicts and emotions
develop long before their looks and names do.
Any tips for aspiring authors?:
To borrow a line
from one of my favorite movies, just keep swimming J Writing is not easy! There’s always self-doubt and insecurity.
There’s always uncertainty. And there are plenty of outside hurdles to overcome
as well—be it agents and publishers, other authors, competition, or just
learning everything one difficult step at a time. But if you keep writing, and
keep pushing, and keeping doing your best, eventually you can make your dreams
come true.
Questions for fun:
If you had the power of time
travel, is there anything you would go back and change? Why/why not?:
Ooh, so tough!
There are so many horrific things that have happened in the past, but I’m not
sure one person changing one moment would change the overall outcome. I’d be
too afraid of the unforeseen consequences and what sort of ramifications would
ripple from that single act of good intention.
What super-power would you
choose?:
I love to travel,
so I always used to answer flying for this question. But I recently thought
about the actual act of flying, and realized it would probably suck. The air is
cold. What if you get stuck in a rain storm? Or a hurricane? I hate driving in
convertibles because the wind in my hair drives me crazy. So, I’ve changed my
answer to teleportation. That way I could travel to so many amazing, beautiful
locations without any of the fuss!
Coffee, tea or wine?:
Coffee! I’m a
total addict J Wine would be a close second though…
What is your favourite book?
(aside from one of your own!):
Ugh…so tough! I
love them all! My favorite series of all time is probably Harry Potter. I can just read those books over and over and over
again—it’s never enough. The characters make me smile every time, almost like
visiting old friends. However, I just finished All the Light We Cannot See, and it was a truly phenomenal book and
it’s now right up at the top of my list!
Favourite genre and why?:
Young adult,
because it has a little bit of everything J High fantasy, thrilling dystopian, swoony romances,
heart-pumping paranormal adventures! I know, I know, it’s sort of cheating, but
if bookstores and everyone else will glob all YA literature onto one category,
I will too!
Favourite colour?:
Blue and
green—it’s a tie!
Upcoming news and plans for the
future?:
Writing, writing,
and more writing J There are too many books in my head, and too little time! My
next project is the sequel to Frost, and then after that I’ll either keep
working on this series straight through or pause to write a contemporary
romance that’s been percolating in the back of my mind for a while!
Thank you so much for taking
the time to talk to us!
Thank you!
