Author Interview: Kaylin McFarren

Welcome Author Kaylin McFarren
to the Book Boost Blog!

TBB: Welcome to The Book Boost Blog, Kaylin! Can you tell us a little more about yourself? Where are you from?

KM: I was born in Torrance, California but at the age of twelve, my family relocated to Seattle, Washington. I met my husband in college there and shortly after we were married, we moved to Portland, Oregon, which is where I now live.

TBB: When and why did you begin writing?

KM: I've been writing for as long as I can remember – poems, short stories, journal entries. But my real passion for penning truly emerged in college where I minored in Literary Arts. I simply loved to express myself on paper and being a notorious Irish storyteller, ideas just seem to naturally pour out of me.

TBB: What do you like to do when you are not writing?

KM: I enjoy giving back to the community through participation and support of various charitable and educational organizations. What ever free time remains is filled with reading, gardening, oil painting, gourmet dining, collecting fine wines, international travel and golf. I'm also am a member of RWA, Rose City Romance Writers, and Willamette Writers and look forward to gaining knowledge at meetings, workshops and conferences.


TBB: We understand that you've just had your debut release "Flaherty's Crossing". How did you come up with the title for this book?

KM: I loved the idea of creating a double entendre and Flaherty's Crossing was perfect. In the first chapter, Collin Flaherty is about to begin his journey to heaven. He reveals a dark secret to his daughter Kate Flaherty which leads her to a cross road in her life – choices to make that can change everything she believes in.

KM: I'm working on a romantic suspense series titled Severed Threads which involves an adventurous group of salvage divers searching for cursed treasures. Here's a quick summary of book one: In order to save the life of her estranged brother from a ruthless mobster, former marine biologist Rachel Lyons is forced to steal a legendary artifact out from under Jordan Novak, a salvage diver and former love interest. However, when she discovers that Jordan has his own unselfish agenda for recovering the treasure, Rachel must decide whose life and love is more important.

TBB: Sounds like you are super busy and we wish you all the success with this new release! Thanks for joining us!
