Me: Please share with my readers a little about yourself
Katrina: My name is Katrina but I go by the pen name Kay Shanee. I have been a published author for 2.5 years. I've been married to my college sweetheart for 23.5 years and we have two children, ages 17 and 20. I write about all things BLACK LOVE because I absolutely love it.
Me: Tell me what inspired you to start writing.
Katrina: Honestly, there was no specific thing that inspired my writing. I have always been an avid reader and sometimes I would read a book and think, "I could write something like this." When my daughter went away to college, it freed up a lot of my time because I didn't have to attend her sporting events 3-4 days a week. I also began teaching part-time the same year and I found that I had a lot of time on my hands. I decided I would write me and my husband's love story and that's how it all began.
Me: How long have you been writing?
Katrina: In total, I've been writing for about 3.5 years.
Me: In your opinion what was the hardest part of writing your books
Katrina: The hardest thing about writing my books is not recycling the same topics. I don't want my readers to feel like they're reading the same story over and over again.
Me: What advice would you give to an upcoming writer?
Katrina: I would tell an upcoming write to JUST WRITE!
Me: What are you hoping people gain from reading your books?
Katrina: From my books, I would love for readers to gain hope and inspiration for true love. I want to remind them that true love between two Black people is real and attainable.
Me: Do you have any new books coming out?
Katrina: Hopefully, by the time this is posted, the spin-off to Roll Bounce Love will have just been published. The title is still up in the air but if anyone read Roll Bounce Love, the spin-off features Rashawn and Keyla.
Me: How can your books be purchased?
Katrina: My books can be purchased on my website at www.authorkayshanee.com and also on Amazon.
Me: What upcoming projects do you have coming, that you would like to share.
Katrina: I don't want to announce because I don't have specific dates but trust that I got some things coming.
Me: Please share your media pages for new fans that you would like to share
Katrina: I am @authorkayshanee or Instagram/Twitter/Facebook
