Jaymin is my soul sister! We became friends on facebook and then both started talking about our favorite books or stories. The only downside is they miss out on a lot of books that are not enrolled in KU.Ĥ: The second book in the Hive series that you co-wrote with Jaymin Eve comes out soon, how did the two of you hook up and decide to write this series? KU allows them to read as many as they want for a small monthly fee. I think it’s great! Most YA readers are on a budget or have a parent giving them grief for spending too much money on books. Some of my favorite books are by indie authors.ģ: What are your thoughts on Kindle Unlimited for the Young Adult reader? But I also love reading books by Jaymin Eve, ST Bende, D.S Murphy, Keira Cass, Patricia Briggs, Cassandra Claire. I love the fantasy classics like Harry Potter, Chronicles of Narnia, or The Golden Compass. From a very young age I was always thinking up stories and telling stories to my family about fairies or dinosaurs. I have a belief that creativity can’t be taught, you are just born with it. I live in the beautiful city of Portland Oregon and I have been writing for about ten years now.Ģ: Where do you get your ideas? Or, which YA authors are your biggest inspirations? I’m a bit of a hippie and a feminist which is probably why I write such strong females in my books =). Hi! I am a married mother of twins and I have a little dog named Buddha. Besides being a highly successful YA author, she’s also a really kind and fun person! Hope you enjoy the interview.ġ: Can you give us a little background on yourself and your life as a writer? Successful, young adult author of the Matefinder series, Leia Stone, has graciously offered some of her time to answer a few questions for our readers.
