Interview
with Kailin Gow
Can you tell us a little bit about the
characters in PULSE Vampire Series?
In PULSE Vampire Series, Kalina Calloway is a special girl
with a secret that she didn’t know about but discovers when her ex-boyfriend
dies, and two of his half-brothers Jaeger and Stuart show up in town to find
out what happens. Thus begins her
journey into finding out an incredible, amazing, yet horrifying truth about
herself and the world she thought she knew, but didn’t. Kalina, like all my heroines, are driven by
an innate drive to do what is right, to be heroic. They can’t just sit around and let things
happen, they are doers and leaders. They
are young women on the verge of discovering their true strengths and
potential.
Can you tell us a little bit about your next
books or what you have planned for the future?
Yes! The Amazon Lee
Adventures Series is my newest book series written under my name. It is a collaboration between myself and my
daughter.
The first book is titled, Amazon Lee and the Ancient Undead of
Rome. It’s about a 15-year-old girl
named Amazon (“Ama” for short) who thought she was going to have a relaxing
vacation in Rome this summer with her parents, Scientist Dr. Stephen Lee, his
wife, Historian Dr. Sandra Lopez, and her father's eccentric younger sister and
inventor Dr. Annabelle Lee. What she didn't expect was that she and her
family would soon make the discovery that the Ancient people of Rome would soon
rise again....as the Undead. The clock is ticking as Amazon Lee and her
family must work together using science, technology, and history to discover
why the dead were rising as the Undead in Rome, before it is too late.
Amazon Lee is a strong, independent girl with High-Functioning Autism, but you
would never know it.
This is a STEM, ELA Literary, and Social Science Curriculum Adventure Series
for Middle Grade, Teens, and Up.
There are so far 3 books in the series planned and with
release dates. Amazon Lee and the
Ancient Undead of Rome (Releases May 15, 2018), Amazon Lee and the Ancient
Undead of Greece (Releases September 2018), and Amazon Lee and the Ancient
Undead of Egypt (Releases January 2019).
I also have a standalone coming for the steamy adult series, The
Master Chefs Series. Also, under my pen
names D.R. Love and Sunny Winters, I have at least 25 more books planned. Under non-fiction, I have The Perfect Cup:
Coffee planned for release Fall 2018. And a Series of Philosophy Books called
STRONG. And a lot more! I will have the schedule on my website,
KailinGow.com, and also announce new releases through my newsletter.
How long would you say it takes you to write a
book?
It usually takes me between 3 Days for a book 40,000 words to 5 days
for a book 55,000 to 75,000 words. I
learned to write very fast from my experience writing for television, radio,
film, and advertising.
What is your favorite childhood book?
Fantasy novels have always been my favorite childhood books
such as books by Roald Dahl, Chronicle of Narnia books, J.R.R. Tolkien books
The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings, and A Wrinkle in Time. I also liked George Orwell’s books, as well as
Lord of the Flies.
If you could spend the day with one of the
characters from PULSE Vampire Series, who would it be? Please tell us why you
chose this particular character, where you would go and what you would do.
I would spend the day with Octavius because he is so wise,
experienced, noble, powerful, and sexy.
He’s a Master Vampire, but so honorable and loving. Anyone who reads PULSE Vampire Series will
fall in love with him.
What was the hardest scene from PULSE Vampire
Series to write?
The scene where Kalina had to choose between who she would
give her blood to, which is very symbolic of everything. She loves them all, but could only choose one
to give her blood to. And it has to be right or there will be a curse that
befalls them all if she chooses the wrong one.
What made you want to become a writer?
I’ve always wanted to become a writer since I first read my
first book. I was an avid reader since
age 4 with a wild imagination and an innate need to be a storyteller. When I was 9 years old, my mother entered me
into a storytelling competition on stage at a big convention, and I went
onstage without any preparation and made up an entire story for the
audience. They loved it, and the rest
was history. I became a storyteller in
print as an author, in voice (as a radio personality), and on film (as a
producer, writer, director, and actress).
