Indy Book Fairy: Calastan Spotlght~Interview

Follow Jein Kyominias, a girl who does not entertain the established roles other females of the upper class take in her land. Her rearing in a matriarchal society has certain paths laid out. She has chosen to be an elite hunter instead of a mere matron. She is unique in her fondness for activities that are specifically bequeathed for men. She decides she will be different---strong and different that is.

Each person has a distinct trait that's either held in reserve or pursued without inhibitions. For reasons that vary, the latter may seem an egotistic act. However, not for Jein. Taking a path other than the one she believes is right is like betraying her own soul.

This book features a young girl who deals with her individuality in admirably different ways. It tell a story of how she accomplishes exceptional feats in a world that draws an unyielding line between men and women.

Follow her on her journey of discovering who she is and who she will become

“My people are an ancient one, with a history as long as our worlds. Our world is one of beauty and mystery known only to a few humanoid races, Euphasia. We are the fifth world in our galaxy of twelve. The other planets are Arouyura, Kylia, Qalitinym, Talinusia, Sedariaum, Perutiuous, Remjein, Anastasinay, Makyli, Cajostan and Aliyaminum. My home is known as Calastan, the capital of all Euphasia.”

Um a little of both probably, :)

Science/Fiction and Fantasy....anything is possible there!

For those who don't know me, I sell Avon to pay for my books and their expenses.

Edgar Allen Poe is the one author I loved since I can remember, his work is intense and let me know I can write no matter the subject matter!

How did you come up with the characters in your books?

I used names of people I know and twisted them and tweaked them!

Do you prefer to write alone or do you like to collaborate with other authors?

I would have to say I like to write alone since I have never collaborated before.

Everyone uses computers, tablets, phones and no one uses handwritten form or typewriters, what do you prefer to use?

I use my laptop of course, but when I'm driving and have inspiration I will voice record on my phone to transcribe later.
