Chosen
Paulina Ulrich
(Fighting Fate #1)
Publication date: October 31st 2013
Genres: Paranormal, Romance, Urban Fantasy, Young Adult
Nothing can stand in the way of outspoken, rule-breaker-extraordinaire; Kaddy Richston…except destiny. She set her sights on being in a rock band and leaving her small Wyoming town along with the painful memories of her past.
But destiny had other plans for her.
The observant Cole Huntington enters her life and becomes the bump in the road Kaddy is trying to pave for her future. Striking blue eyes, features to make any girl swoon, he’s everything but the new-to-town bad boy. Calm, cool, and always collected, he plans on unraveling every one of Kaddy’s dark secrets.
Kaddy is determined to undermine whatever intentions he has until she learns of a destiny she never asked for. The only person she can turn to for answers is the last person she’d want help from: Cole Huntington, who seemed to dislike her rule-breaking as much as she dislikes his rule-following.
Interview with Paulina Ulrich
Can you tell us a little bit about the characters in Chosen?
The characters in Chosen,
especially the main character Kaddy, are almost off the page kind of
characters. I know Kaddy is sort of “in your face” and has the mouth of a
sailor. She’s got her 3 bandmates that bring the humor and Cole is the tall,
dark, & handsome--well, I suppose you’ll have to read to find out!
Can you tell us a little bit about your next books or what you have
planned for the future?
The sequel for Chosen is already
out and is titled Chances. Book 3 in this series, Choices, is in the works!
I also have the 4th and
final novel coming out in my other series, the Flightless Bird series:
Flightless Bird, Broken Wings, Fair Feathered, & Timeless Sky is the one
coming out this summer!
How
long would you say it takes you to write a book?
It takes me roughly around 8 months to a
year, depending on what I’m working on.
What
is your favorite childhood book?
Nancy Drew hands down! The classic yellow
hardbacks are my favorite.
If
you could spend the day with one of the characters from Chosen who would it be?
Please tell us why you chose this particular character, where you would go and
what you would do.
I think I would choose to hang out with
Mike, Kaddy’s bandmate and best friend. He’s funny, nerdy, and caring about the
people around him and it would interesting to get to know him on a deeper
level. I think we would go get ice cream or a concert, knowing Mike loves both
of those things!
What
was the hardest scene from Chosen to write?
The hardest scenes to write were Kaddy’s
night terrors. Writing out those awful memories she has was really hard at
times, to know that this character went through that and knowing that by
writing it, it helped shaped who she is when the book begins.
What
made you want to become a writer?
There was no single thing that made me want
to become a writer, I have always felt that I was already a writer. I’ve been
writing since I was 6 and have the home video to prove it!
Just
for fun
