Interview K.D. Friedrich, Author of Heart of a Wolf
Give a warm welcome to K.D. Friedrich author of Heart of a Wolf, second book in A Wicked Series.
Pull up a chair, grab a drink of your choice from the cooler, a Chocolate Chip or Peanut Butter cookie from the plate, and let’s find out a little about K.D. and her paranormal romance, Heart of a Wolf, released March 12, 2018. Pssst, don’t forget to enter the rafflecopter at the end of the post
Lets start off with what inspired this particular story?
I knew when I first introduced Winter in book 1 of The Wicked Series that I wanted her to transform. When we first met Winter she was young, naïve, and sporting a crush on an older wolf. Her small town country persona needed to change. The only way for that to happen was for her to leave her small Pennsylvania town behind. This was the realization that inspired the story. From this realization, I developed the plot.
What secret do you use to blast through writer’s block?
I read. Funny, but it helps me get through any writer’s block that plaque me. If it’s really a bad case of writer’s block, I reread one of my favorite novels by an author I respect.
How long have you been writing?
I’ve been writing novels for almost ten years now. Before that I wrote mainly poetry and short stories.
Why do you write what you write? Contemporary, paranormal, suspense, etc.
I started writing paranormal romance, because it was one of my favorite genres to read. I’ve always been intrigued by the supernatural. Writing about it has become a great joy for me. For hours, I can immerse myself in a world of vampires, shifters, and witches. Who wouldn’t love it? When I have to drift back into reality, I write my contemporary romances. Even though they’re still fiction, the characters bring me down to earth. Writing both balances me out.

No windows lined the damp cinder block room. Her only light came from a
dangling bulb hovering above her. Rows of rotted wooden shelves clung to the
wall on one side. On the other, she found a pile of cardboard boxes. No words
or logos decorated the cartons to give her any hint of her location or who
might have taken her.
