Author Interview with
Keeley Smith
1. What made you want to be a writer?
I’ve always loved writing since an early
age, it is something I’ve always done and then one day I realised that I could
do it all the time and others could read my stories J
2. Who is your favorite author?
Oh gosh, I have two authors that I can pick
up their books without reading the blurb, Nora Roberts and Harlan Coben.
3. What is the name of the last book you
read?
The last book I read, at the time of
answering these questions, was Skulduggery Pleasant – The last Stand of Dead
Men. Amazing series!
4. Tell us about yourself in 3 words?
Three words... okay....
1. Quirky J
2. loveable
3. stubborn
5. What is your favorite activity?
Reading! I love it. I quite literally eat
books! J
6. If your book could be made into a movie?
Which actors would you have play the main two characters?
Cora would be played by Felcity Jones and
Jack would be played by Alex Pettyfer J
7. Who is your favorite character in your
book?
I love Cora because she is my first
character, but Tabitha is without a doubt one amazing lady!
8. What's in your TBR ( to be read) pile?
Derek Landy’s next Skulduggery book which
doesn’t hit the shops until September 2014!! Harlan Coben’s next book which is out in March. Yep, I know that I
have quite a wait J
9. What are 3 of your pet peeves?
People who use their phones when driving
(it is illegal in the UK) and people still do it!
People who talk to themselves because
someone is present in the same room... strange and annoying.
Swearing for no apparent reason, I just
think it isn’t needed in everyday conversation.
10. What's your favorite ( cats or dogs), (
coffee or tea), and what's your favorite food?
Dogs J
Tea, cannot stand coffee although I like
the smell.... but then again I can eat coffee chocolate if I’ve had wine. LOL
Food... I would have to say dessert and
that would be cheesecake. I adore it!

About the Author:
I've always loved reading, it is a common known fact that I pretty much demolish a book a day. Expensive hobby, but a great one! I've dabbled with writing since the day I could actually write. So, it was only fitting that I had my first book published when I was 15.
If I'm not writing you would generally find me reading, creating jewellery, trawling social networking sites and listening to music. I will pretty much listen to any kind of music but I have two favourites, country music which has been with me since I was a little toddler and I also love to listen to movie scores, especially when I'm writing!
I currently live in Yorkshire with my husband.www.keeleysmithauthor.com
