Joining me on the couch today for the first interview of 2018 — Happy New Year everyone — is sci-fi/fantasy author Kyoko M. Thank you, Kyoko, for taking the time to chat to me. Please sit down, get comfortable and let’s begin.
About Kyoko M
Kyoko M is a USA Today bestselling author, a fangirl, and an avid book reader. She has a Bachelor of Arts in English Lit from the University of Georgia, which gave her every valid excuse to devour book after book with a concentration in Greek and Christian mythology. When not working feverishly on a manuscript (or two), she can be found buried under her Dashboard on Tumblr, or chatting with fellow nerds on Twitter, or curled up with a good Harry Dresden novel on a warm Georgia night. Like any author, she wants nothing more than to contribute something great to the best profession in the world, no matter how small.

About A.L. Knorr
A.L. is a Canadian who spends summers in the beautiful Rockies and winters wherever it isn’t absolutely freezing – usually Italy.

She studied dance but ended up working in marketing for many years and learning how to make a business go. When Amazon changed publishing forever and made it easier for indies to make a living with their craft is when Abby knew it was time to do it on her own. There has been no looking back.
