1. If
you have a pen name, can you explain how you came up with it?
- Kamy
Chetty is my own name- but I was looking at getting a pen name and it
was an interesting experience. My daughter eventually said, what would
you want to have been named if not Kamy? That answered the question.
Having a pen name would be reinventing yourself. An opportunity to be
someone else and re brand yourself as an author.
2. What are a few things we would find in or on your desk?
Coffee,
pens, a large note pad, my ipod, ipad. I know it looks like an overkill
to have the Ipad- but I need it to reference things when I am writing- I
have my thesaurus and all sorts of resources on my kindle.
3. What motivates you to write?
Right
now- it's my job. So it's not only my passion but it's a career, so
it's the very thing that makes every one else go to work in the morning.
It's the gut feeling that I want to succeed at this.
4. Share something about yourself no one else knows?
That's
a hard one. I like being transparent. But I guess you all don't know
that I am the President of Romance Writers of New Zealand. It's not
something I advertise. I'm also planning our conference this year.
5 Tell us about your book....
Wow-Made to Die started off as a journey of a strong female character who was going to find love. Simple.
I
started the book over a year ago and then I went through a rough time
and my experience changed me. It affected the book and somehow the book
took on a life of its own and became a suspense rather than a medical
romance.
The
story became about a girl who was made to save her sister, was never
shown love, and her journey to discover her own path in the world.
During
this journey she encounters death, kidnapping and there are a few
twists in the plot but the most important thing is she finds her happy
ending.
She gives us hope when at times we feel there is none.

How great to write for a living! Nothing beats the creative life. I think the cover of your book is fabulous, and I'm wishing you much success!
ReplyDeleteThank you Lexa. Writing full time is hard work, but it does have it's rewards, like I can go to work in shorts or sweats. Glad you like the cover

ReplyDeleteGlad to be here and like you I am an eclectic reader. The only think I cannot bring myself to read is the really heavy sci fi. Thanks for dropping by
DeleteI wish I had a Kindle... so I could have a chance to win one of these ... I can imagine it must be very hard work to write for a living... always having to be on but it also must be wonderful to have that creative outlet... I hope your book is very successful, it sounds really great xox
ReplyDeleteThanks Launna. Yes you have to be very disciplined to work from home. What I like about being creative is I don't have to work on one project at a time, but I do have to keep track of who is doing what, when

Hi there- thanks for dropping by
DeleteKamy is the perfect name!
ReplyDeleteIt has a wonderful aural appeal... I would keep it as is (just my opinion)
... and you're the president of the organisation? How cool is that?
Congratulations!
And the book looks wonderful... strong title!
thanks Michelle- it's scary being President but also good to give back to the organisation
