I'm so excited to have Kristie Cook, best selling author of the Soul Savers Series here to introduce to you her latest release, The Space Between
It started with a dream my husband had in October 2011. I
remember this specifically because we were on a road trip and I can still see
the hotel room clearly when he said, “I had the coolest dream!” He could only
remember parts of it and didn’t understand exactly what was going on, but I
took notes because it sounded so awesome. Then the characters came to me and it
blossomed from there.
What
are some interesting things you discovered during your research for
the novel?
I learned a lot about living as a deaf person after growing up
being able to hear, the difference between ASL and Signed English and other
tidbits about the deaf community. I also learned about the concept of Twin
Flames, some lesser known Greek mythology and the train routes through Italy.
lol
Are
you a panster or a plotter?
I used to be mostly a pantser, although even with my first book,
I had key scenes in mind, including the climactic scenes. So I had an idea of
where the story was going. Now I am more of a plotter. I do a lot of planning
of the high and low points, plot twists, etc., ahead of time, but when I
actually begin writing, I still let the story unfold naturally. Sometimes it
veers off from my outline, but that’s okay. That’s what keeps it fresh and
exciting.
How
many books are projected for the series?
The Book of Phoenix is slated to be a trilogy. For now anyway.
*wink*
Team
Jeric or Team Tristan? (or is that fair... lol)
Aack! How am I supposed to answer that?! In a fight, Tristan, no
doubt. He has a couple of centuries of experience over Jeric, for one. Plus
some other advantages. But in my heart? I think Tristan will always hold a
special place as the first book boyfriend I created, but I do love Jeric, too.
And Micah. *grin*
What's
next?
I’m working on Soul Savers 5, which is slated for release on
June 5th.

“A completely unique story with a
paranormal twist . . . the perfect blend of romance and mystery with a
phenomenal plot that will keep you guessing.” ~ Jessica, Confessions of a Bookaholic
“I loved this book! The characters, the
romance, the plot, the originality! It had everything to make it an

Kendall, Book Crazy
*****
After a
month-long dance tour through Italy, 20-year-old Leni Drago returns to Georgia
to care for her great-uncle, only to find him gone, the home they shared empty
and any evidence he ever existed wiped out. All that’s left is a journal she
can’t open.
Jeric
Winters has been searching for a piece of his past for over a year, only to
reach a dead-end in Georgia. When an urgent and magnetic pull draws him out of
his hotel room, he comes face-to-face with the beautiful dancer who’s been
haunting his dreams day and night.
Jeric’s one
to stay away from—a bad-boy, hit-it-and-quit-it type—but Leni can’t escape the
fervent feelings between them. As their own existences begin to crumble around
them and shadowy forms that are more monsters than men attack, they realize
there’s more to the connection between them than physical fascination.
To solve the
riddle their lives have become, they must embark on a journey that requires
them to face their pasts and release their true souls. And they must do it
fast—dark ones from another world are closing in, intent on killing them.
Permanently.

“Kristie has done it again! Her Soul
Savers series is my favorite by far and yet The Space Between is easily the

hot.” ~ Marissa,
