Throughout my teen years I enjoyed writing fanfiction for fun, but it wasn’t until a few years ago that I actually tried writing something of my own. I always enjoyed writing through school, and in my senior year I was a part of the Literary Magazine and actually had a short science fiction story I had written published. You said you only started a few years ago? Most writers realize they want to write at childhood. For a couple of years when I was in college I lived in Santa Barbara, but my husband and I moved back to the SCV right after he graduated from photography school. Maybe one day!!īorn and raised in Santa Clarita, CA, which is about 30 minutes north of Los Angeles.

That would be so cool! Though it’d be quite a feat if we could actually make brooms fly. I heard rumors that Quidditch is about to become an Olympic sport. I live in Los Angeles with my hubby and cat, who are both extremely supportive of my writing 😉Įven the cat’s supportive, huh? Yeah, Harry Potter has captivated billions. My favorite TV shows are Once Upon a Time, Game of Thrones, Mad Men, and The X-Files (LOVE Mulder & Scully!). Now most of my time is dedicated to pursuing writing my own stories and creating my own characters…at least when I’m not distracted by Facebook! I am obsessed with all things Harry Potter (I have a bumper sticker on my back windshield that proudly states ‘I ❤ Snape’) and have read most of Nora Roberts’ 200 book collection. Before I tried writing my own books a couple of years ago, I read incessantly to the point where most of my paperback novels have horribly creased spines and well-worn pages. Okay, I’m going to get a bit nerdy here because I like to be honest 😉 Writing is my passion, my every waking thought, and pretty much my life. Why don’t you tell us a little about yourself. The best, in my opinion! Before we get into the books, Katie, I always try to give the readers a look into the person behind the pen. I’m excited to be featured by a fellow fantasy book lover! It’s a great genre 🙂 But today we have best-selling fantasy author Katie Jennings. I am a personal fan of fantasy, I even write it myself. Good day all! Welcome to our third segment of Meet The Author.
