Hi Kimber
Leigh and welcome to Bookfever and thank you for letting me interview you!

1. Shadow
Fire is your debut novel. How would you describe it in a few sentences?

Shadow Fire
is a lighthearted, fun adventure with a touch of whimsy and a sweet romance. My
inspiration for the story came from playing a few too many RPG video games—it’s
quite apparent in the plot.


2. Which
famous person, living or dead would you like to meet and why?

There are
so many, but if I could only choose one, I’d like to meet Leonardo da Vinci.
He’s such an enigmatic figure with so many conspiracy theories surrounding him.
I’d love to pick his brain and see if any are true.


3. Who was
your favorite character to create in Shadow Fire?

Well, I’m
quite attached to all of them. But the pirate, Taranis, holds a special place
in my heart. His dialogue was always so much fun to write. In fact, I liked him
so much I decided to feature him in Light Chronicles Books 1.5 and 3.


4. What
three books would you recommend people to read?

High, epic
fantasy — The Dragon Prince by Melanie Rawn
Gritty
romantic suspense/mystery — Naked in Death by J.D. Robb
Fun YA
paranormal — Paranormalcy by Kiersten White


5. If Shadow
Fire would have a theme song(s), what would it be?

Alive by
Adelitas Way


6. If you
could jump into any book and live in that world, what book would it be?

Ooh, a
toughie! There are several that come to mind. I guess it comes down to whether
I’d be willing to give up indoor plumbing…
Pawn of
Prophecy by David Eddings — I think it would be fun to live in a fantasy world
filled with magic, majestic creatures, adventure, and epic battles.


7. Is there
anything else you’d like to share?

Stolen
Moon, Light Chronicles Book 2 is coming this summer. The characters from Shadow
Fire have a cameo in Stolen Moon. I’ll also be releasing my YA urban fantasy
novel, Tortured Souls, this summer. Thanks so much for having me 🙂

Thanks,
Kim! =)




About the Book:


Shadow Fire by Kimber Leigh Wheaton
Light Chronicles #1
YA Fantasy Romance

Ashlyn – a free-spirited teenager whose peaceful life is shattered when the village elders honor her with a perilous quest to recover a stolen relic.

Zane – a jaded mercenary, torn by his undeniable desire for Ashlyn and the dark secret that could make her hate him forever. 

Delistaire – a malevolent sorcerer driven by an insatiable lust for power. 
All three are bound together by an ancient relic supposedly infused with the power of a Goddess. 

Shadow Fire – adventure, passion, secrets, and betrayal 

As Ashlyn and Zane race to stay one step ahead of the evil lurking in the shadows, their passions are ignited and their bond strengthens. But will they find the relic before Delistaire? Or has their entire quest been orchestrated from the very beginning by a madman in pursuit of ultimate power?

About the Author:

Kimber Leigh Wheaton is a YA/NA author with a soft spot for sweet romance and is a member of Romance Writers of America.

She is married to her soul mate, has a teenage son, and shares her home with three dogs and four cats. No, she doesn’t live on a farm, she just loves animals. Her house is filled with dragons, though she does lament that they are the porcelain, non-flying variety.

Kimber Leigh is addicted to romance, videogames, superheroes, villains, and chocolate—not necessarily in that order. (If she has to choose, she’ll take a chocolate covered superhero!)

Her debut novel, Shadow Fire, is the first book in The Light Chronicles series. Watch for book two, Stolen Moon, a standalone sequel, coming soon.
