Author Interview - Kerry Anne King
Author of Other People's Things
Jailbird. Klepto. Spectacular failure to launch. Nicole Wood’s sticky fingers have earned her many names, but it’s not that she’s stealing—some objects just need to be moved elsewhere, and the universe has chosen her to do it. Still, being a relocator of objects isn’t easy. With her marriage on the rocks, no real-world skills, and the threat of prison hanging over her head, Nicole is determined to change her ways. Only she can't resist moving a seemingly harmless old paperback which sets in motion a chain of events that uncovers long buried secrets and makes her confront the possibility that maybe – just maybe – what she’s always thought of as a curse might actually be a gift.

Author Interview - Kerry Anne King | Author I Draw Inspiration From
Favorite place to read a book: The outdoor hot tub. Preferably with either a cup of coffee or a glass of wine, depending on the time of day.
Book character I’d like to be stuck in an elevator with: So hard to choose, but I'm going with Diana Bishop from the All Souls Trilogy by Deborah Harkness, because I'm pretty sure she could weave a spell to get the elevator unstuck and I could ask her a bunch of questions about Elizabethan England and France while she does it.
