Interview with The Body Finder & Desires of the Dead author, Kimberly Derting


I'm thrilled to have our next featured author from The Dark Days of Supernatural tour, Kimberly Derting, on our site today. Her series has quickly become one of my favorites (I'll be posting my reviews for both of her books soon). I don't know what took me so long to pick up The Body Finder, but WOW! I read it in one sitting. If you haven't read it, go pick it up!! It is a brilliantly written love story, murder mystery that will leave you sighing, laughing out loud and holding your breathe. Desires of the Dead is just as good and I highly recommend pre-ordering it!



The Body Finder has a little bit of everything- hot chemistry, a murder mystery and of course gut wrenching senses. What element did you enjoy writing the most?
I hate to admit this, but I really enjoy writing from the killer’s point of view. I know, weird, right? When my editor asked for more of these chapters, I was practically giddy.

Desires of Dead is set to release soon (yay!), did you find it easier to continue writing Violet's story and harder?
Maybe not harder so much, but I definitely felt more pressure this time around. I think most authors, especially if it’s a series, worry about their second book living up to the first one.

What do you admire most about Violet?
I love that she’s willing to embrace her ability, and that she may end up using it to help others. I also love that every decision isn’t always easy for her, because I don’t think life is like that.

What is one thing indulgence you've allowed yourself to have since you're books have been released?
I recently hired a part-time assistant, which feels like a huge luxury for me! We’ll see how it works out though, considering I may be a tad bit controlling. Of course it helps that she’s my oldest daughter, so she’s used to my bossy ways. :)

We're all hoping there will be more to Violet's story (crosses fingers). Are there any other things you'd like to write about (wolves, vampires etc)?
I wish I could share more Violet and Jay news with you, but (for now at least) my lips are sealed!!

I do have another project I’ve been working on that hasn’t been announced yet. Can I just say, I’m super-excited about it and I hope readers will like the new world I’ve created!?!? Okay, yes, I just said that, didn’t I?
