Can you, for those who don't know you already, tell something about yourself and how you became an author?
Hello, pleased to meet you. My name is Angelina Kerner and I’m an author of sweet romance in two genres - chick-lit and paranormal.
The dream to become an author came to me after reading books by James Clemens. The world he created was so vivid inside my mind that it was like watching a movie. I wanted to be able to do that, to make books act as movies inside the minds of readers. I started writing then and didn’t stop.
What is something unique/quirky about you?
My PA would say I’m super picky when it comes to looking for male models for my covers. I redid the cover for A SHADE OF LOVE, a WIP recently because I didn’t like the male model on it and kind of drove her crazy. ;)
Tell us something really interesting that's happened to you!
I got to meet Andy Weir, the author of THE MARTIAN a couple of years back. A really nice guy.
What are some of your pet peeves?
I can’t stand the sound of chewing gum or gum in any form. When people think they are higher than others- hearing I’m busy, can you do it?
Where were you born/grew up at?
I grew up in a town where I could play with other kids outside with my mother watching from her window from the fourth story. We climbed towers, paid for ice cream with coins, had hula hoop and jump rope competitions and really loved creating lizards out of beads.
If you knew you'd die tomorrow, how would you spend your last day?
With my family, visiting a children’s museum, the beach, the aquarium, and creating memories for them so they wouldn’t forget me.
Who is your hero and why?
My grandfather who passed away before I was born. I heard he was a good man and the stories I’ve been told made me wish I would have had a chance to meet him.
What kind of world ruler would you be?
Probably an optimistic one lol
What are you passionate about these days?
Honestly, not a clue. I did do research on Japanese culture for my WIP so maybe that lol
What do you do to unwind and relax?
Either I read or watch a show. I’m simple. Sometimes, I meditate.
How to find time to write as a parent?
Write when the kid is asleep so in the mornings. Take notes on the phone when the kid's eating or playing. Kids don’t really let you be on laptops or computers. They climb on desks or close the laptops.
Describe yourself in 5 words or less!
Survivor. Parent. Geographer. Author. Pisces.
When did you first consider yourself a writer?
When I had enough guts to share my writing with others. It’s extremely hard to do. It’s one thing to write in the dark and another to share it and hear feedback from a beta reader or reviewer.
Do you have a favorite movie?
The Martian.
Which of your novels can you imagine made into a movie?
The Scented Bones or Into the Flames. Both are paranormal fiction books with awesome characters like a witch forensic anthropologist and a reincarnated queen out for revenge.
As a writer, what would you choose as your mascot/avatar/spirit animal?
My logo has a fairy and a wolf on it. So my spirit would be a wolf and probably dragons since you’ll find them in my fiction writings.
Thank you for hanging out with me.
