What is the title of your latest release?
TO KILL A SHADOW
What's the "elevator pitch" for your new book?
To bring the sun back to her cursed kingdom, a warrior and a handsome commander must venture into a monster-ridden fog in the first installment of this sweeping, romantic fantasy.
How did you decide where your book was going to take place?
I love the nighttime—the peace and softness of it—so when I began writing, I imagined a world without the sun, and a curse where the moon reigned eternal.
Would you hang out with your heroine in real life?
Yes, but she might scare me lol. She's way more confident than I am—and she's deadly with a sword.
What are three words that describe your hero?
Jude:
Brooding
Protective
Grumpy (to everyone but Kiara, of course)

Our past doesn't define us.

I tend to mix it up! I'm all over the place with editing.

Only my husband knows this dark secret, but I can eat a whole cookie cake in one sitting. And I do. Every time.
Describe your writing space/office!
My bed with lots and lots of pillows and blankets.
Who is an author you admire?
Stephanie Garber. Her stories are just magical.
Is there a book that changed your life?
A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray. I read it as a teen, and I still think about it.
Tell us about when you got "the call." (when you found out your book was going to be published)
I got a cookie cake and then started panicking—because omg the dream was happening.
What's your favorite genre to read?
Fantasy! I need an escape from the real world.
What's your favorite movie?
Probably an uncommon answer but Moulin Rouge!
What is your favorite season?
Fall! Sweater weather forever.
How do you like to celebrate your birthday?
Alone, with a good book, and my husband watching the kids.
What's a recent tv show/movie/book/podcast you highly recommend?
Fall of the House of Usher. I'm obsessed with Poe.
What's your favorite type of cuisine?
Italian—total comfort food.
What do you do when you have free time?
I binge watch shows and zone out—I need my break. I think I'm rather boring - lol.
What can readers expect from you next?
I hope I can continue writing in the YA/NA fantasy genre. I have a few projects up my sleeve that I'm excited about.
Britannia meets The Mist—with a touch of Evil Dead—in this illusory fantasy horror about a kingdom left to darkness…
Jude Maddox knows nothing of love or even light. He knows only his grim duty as the Hand of Death, to lead the Knights of the Eternal Star into a land filled with nightmares and certain demise. It’s only when he sees her—a young woman with wild, amber eyes who’s as fierce, defiant, and swift as the shadow beasts themselves—that he feels the warmth of life in his blood…
The other Knights may fear their lethal commander, with his hard, merciless demeanor. Outcast Kiara Frey sees only a leader, a man who knows how to survive. A man like her. But wanting him is as treacherous as the shadows themselves…and just as seductive.
With a kingdom on the verge of collapse, the Knights must now venture into the darkest heart of the land and uncover the secrets of the misted shadows, where evil will prey upon their minds and feast on their flesh.
It will betray their senses.
It will surpass their nightmares.
Most of them will die.
But they have no other choice. Because the only way to fight the darkness…is to become it.

Katherine Quinn is a fantasy romance author and poet. She graduated from the University of Central Florida with a degree in psychology. She resides in Houston, Texas with her husband and three children.
Her love for writing began after she read her first fantasy series, Song of the Lioness, by Tamora Pierce. After that, she wanted nothing more than to be a dagger-wielding heroine. Unfortunately, it’s frowned upon to give a child a dagger, so she settled on writing about daring adventures instead.
Coffee is her true love, and she believes anything can be fixed with Starbucks and dark humor.
