📚 Hello Book Friends! The Rockton series by Kelley Armstrong is getting better and better. A STRANGER IN TOWN offers an action-packed story about danger, betrayal, friendship, and kick-ass characters. I am so thrilled by this series and recommend it to everyone who is looking for a solid series that does not disappoint. I wish I could talk about all the scenes I love in this book, but I would give away spoilers. You must discover it on your own… I guarantee you will be gripped and stay on the edge of your seat constantly. A STRANGER IN TOWN is the sixth book in the series. Kelley has been contracted for 7 books, so it will be at least that long. Now, I cannot wait for the seventh book.I had the pleasure to do a written interview with Kelley:
Me: The villains in the Rockton Series are often quite evil. Where do you get your inspiration for these characters?
🔸Kelley: Imagination plus a psychology degree that leaned heavily toward abnormal psych. You can see that in the books, where I can never just have a messed-up antagonist—I need to give them a backstory and speculate on their psychological issues.
Me: Did you visit Yukon to get the survey of the land for your books?
🔸Kelley: I did! I visited a few times for inspiration and ending up buying land and building a summer house. I fell in love with the place.
Me: Did you plan the entire Rockton series before you started writing the first book or do you plan one book at a time?
🔸Kelley: I usually don't plan much farther ahead than the book I'm working on. I had ideas for solutions to some of the larger problems (like the hostiles) but they evolved over the series.
Me: How long, on average, does it take you to write a book?
🔸Kelley: The first draft is a very intense process for me, and I’m writing very quickly, so it’s usually done in 3-4 months. A fast first draft means more editing, though, so I definitely can’t complete a book in 3-4 months!
Me: I love the relationship between Casey and Eric, but, as a dog lover, I was wondering if you are planning to give Storm a love interest soon?
🔸Kelley: Ha! I actually have considered that. Raoul was originally introduced as a slightly younger male for that possibility, but I think he’s more packmate than mate. There was an interested lone wolf in Alone in the Wild. So a mate—and puppies!—is a definite possibility but I don’t quite have the right answer yet.
🙋🏼♀️️ Thanks Kelley, for granting me an interview.
