Welcome to the 2nd Meet The Author Q&A
This month we are featuring Sarah A. Kenney as our guest Author.
A little bit about Sarah Kenney -
I started writing when I was 13 years old. I wasn't
much of a reader, I had only liked to read classic literature like
Hemingway and Jane Austen, but my love for reading has grown more as I
have written. What inspired me to write was my nightmares, most of my
novels are all inspired by my nightmares. The Devils Curse Novels were
created from a nightmare I had that I woke up from and wrote the entire
ending of Devils Fall. "Sleepwalker" was inspired by a nightmare I had
that originally inspired me to write "The Keyhole" which was a 3 pg
short story that is a major scene in "Sleepwalker" and inspired the
series name "The Keyhole Novels."
Some
other author related stuff, I write something everyday. Whether it
relates to a story I'm working on or not. Poetry is my prompt to get re-inspired to write a full length story when I have writers block and my
favorite character, the one in all of my nightmares, lives in a series
that I have 4 novels written but are unpublished.

Q1. In terms of the work you do, what aspects are you most passionate about? Why?
A1. I
would say in terms of the work I do, I am most passionate about
creating a story that will touch the readers and make them feel what the
character is feeling. This was my biggest goal while writing
"Sleepwalker" I wanted people to feel everything she felt and was
experiencing on a personal level even if they may not have lived a
similar situation.
Q2.
What do you consider some of your biggest professional and personal
accomplishments? How did your attributes contribute to those
accomplishments?
A2. As an author, one of my
biggest accomplishments that stands out to me is very recent, I was
asked to be an Ambassador for Women who Write GR in my home state
teaching and supporting other female authors to overcome writers block,
getting the first draft, keeping a consistent voice and much more we
were able to discuss.
I
also think one of my biggest accomplishments that some people may not
consider an accomplishment is having taught myself everything about the
self publishing industry, its an industry that you have to keep moving
and changing or you will be lost in the sea of eBooks. Writing is quite
literally my life.
Q3. What is your dream for the future?
A3. My current dream for the future is to release my next series that I
have been writing for 9 years, it is a story that is my absolute
favorite and has been with me a long time so to see that get a breath of
life will be very exciting for me personally.
I am
hoping to start a writing workshop later this year to help aspiring
writers and authors have less anxiety about writing their stories
as well.
