Q&A With Kaza Kingsley Coming on January 10, 2008
January 5th, 2008 by 2xKnight
I was contacted by author Kaza Kingsley about a month ago. Looks like FanaticSpace is going to be participating in a blog tour. This will be my first one, and if things go well it might not be the last.
Here’s one of the questions, come back on January 10 to see how she answers.
Who would win in a fight, Harry (Potter) or Erec? Oh, and none of that “They’d be on the same side” stuff either, just assume they were both tricked into thinking the other one was evil…
Erec Rex Book Reviews
Kaza Kingsley was kind enough to send me review copies of the first 2 Erec Rex books. I was going to hold a giveaway once I’d read the books. I just can’t bring myself to do that, since she took the time to autograph them to me. Don’t worry though, I will be holding an Erec Rex book giveaway. I just won’t be giving up my copies.
Who is Kaza Kingsley?
Kaza Kingsley is the author of the Erec Rex book series. The Erec Rex books are fantasy books for young adults. They’re filled with mythological references and a dramatic story. Just the kind of books I like. Perfect.
Whoops, almost started the reviews early.
If you’d like to know more about Kaza Kingsley then stop by during the tour, she’ll be checking in to read the comments and answer your questions. I’d also suggest you check out her blog, The Memory Mogul.
To learn more about the Erec Rex books check out the Official Erec Rex Website. You can also get a sneak peek at the books.

What is a blog tour?
A blog tour is an online version of a book tour for authors. Several sites agree to post an article about the books or author. Fans get to say hi, ask question and get to know them. The posts are scheduled to run consecutively, much like the appearances on a book tour.
It sounds like a great way for fans to interact with an author they like and with each other. How could I say no?

Q&A With Kaza Kingsley Coming on January 10, 2008 » FanaticSpace.com - Blog…
Kaza Kingsley is doing a blog tour to promote the second book in her Erec Rex Series. Erec Rex: The Monsters of Otherness. I will be participating on January 10, with book reviews and book giveaways to follow.
Kaza Kingsley will be checking in to read…
I’m curious. What would you say, Kaza, is the event, incident or tension that hooks your readers, right from the start?
I think this would be a great place to discuss it so that we all can’t wait to run out and grab a copy.
For myself, I know several kids that would love the story from what I’ve read so far on this blog, but I’d like to hear more!
Sure KSR!
In my first book, the initial event is that Erec’s mother is missing. He’s in a precarious situation, because he needs to save her, but he gets thrown into a new place where he has to re-learn all the rules!
In book two, Monsters of Otherness, Erec has to go back to compete in the quests to become king. If he doesn’t do it, the scepters will be handed over to the “bad guys.” But he’s truly afraid of what might happen if he wins. If he gets a scepter, could he handle it? It just might destroy him…
Thanks for your interest!
Kaza
