"Unassailable" by K.J. Rowe-- Author Interview

 

About the Book

Book: Unassailable

Author: K.J. Rowe

Genre: Teen/Young Adult

To be picture perfect on the outside can cause people to think you have it all together on the inside. Which is exactly the case for Hope Meyer.

Stuck in a dead-end job with no vision for her future, parents arguing at home and newly-single under terms she bitterly objects to, Hope puts on a brave front in the face of friends. Only, she’s not as subtle as she thinks. Called out on her pretense by a close friend and, drawn into a mission project that causes her to question everything she’s been led to believe, Hope finds herself floundering.

Until recently, the perfect hair, manicured nails, a wardrobe straight out of a fashion magazine and a handsome suitor by her side had defined her. Now seeing those things as insignificant, and understanding why her boyfriend left, Hope turns to her youth minister for help; with one burning question in mind:

Who was she?

Set on a path of self-discovery, Hope finds her day to day both unraveling and piecing together like a jigsaw as her perception begins to alter.

Will she embrace how God defines her and ultimately learn what true happiness is?

Author Interview 

1. What, according to you, is the hardest thing about writing?
Keeping to a word count and watching the level of ‘waffle’ that works its way
into a dialogue. The editing process I find brutal, but so necessary!
God bless my wonderful Editor!
2. Do you pen down revelations and ideas as you get them, right
then and there?
I like to write down ideas/conversations/situations as they come to me,
because otherwise I find that details can get lost or warped when you try to
recall them however long later. Even if it means to make a quick note on my
phone in the middle of the night!
3. Do you need to be in a specific place or room to write, or you can
just sit in the middle of a café full of people and write?
I write where ever I can. We are farmers and I’m home-schooling our two
children, so the laptop is not far from me at any given time to make use of any
free time that pops up. I’ve written at the park, in the car, in the loungeroom,
while I’m cooking tea, sitting in the garden, away on holidays. Sometimes,
changing the scenery can help!
4. Where do you get your ideas for your books?
My own life experiences, to put it simply. Each book in the Casts of Silver
series, contains a part of my own testimony.
5. Do bits of yourself/friends show up in your characters?
I think every writer could answer yes to this question. *Smiles*


About the Author

Since I could hold a pencil, I’ve be writing.

In primary school, I wrote stories about my pets, my own version of princess stories, a classroom crush…

In high school, I wrote stories about horses, adventures, my sister…

However, as strong as the writing hobby was, I still pursued a career in Veterinary Nursing.

It wasn’t until God intervened and moved me out of the city and into a small country town to be a farmer’s wife, that he resurfaced the writing desire – and gave me the stories. So was born my debut series, each book holding a part of my own testimony, Casts of Silver.

It is my prayer that you enjoy the journey these stories take you on, and that they challenge, encourage and inspire you.

Do you have a favorite space to do your writing?

This looks very entertaining. Thanks for the opportunity!

Thankyou Michael.
It has been wonderful to reply my time growing up in the church and remembering games we played back then. Even speaking to my dad about his time in youth groups some 50 odd years ago and incorporating some of his memories has been a wonderful blessing! As long as it reaches the youth of today, that is my prayer.
God bless,
KJ Rowe

Hello Tracie,
Not really. I write wherever and whenever I can...sometimes I punch out a scene on my phone while I'm drying a dog in my dog salon. When ever the inspiration hits.
God bless,
KJ Rowe
