Welcome Today's Featured Author
Carrie Humphrey!
Fanged and Confused
(Book 1 in
the Briarberry Estate Series)
Blurb:
Kedah
always believed the Briarberry Estate was a legend. A story that the
townspeople told to explain the complete disappearance of a place
they claimed existed, then suddenly didn’t. It was never real.
Through
an unexpected turn in her plans for the future, Kedah found herself
no longer human and staring through the doors of the Briarberry
Estate, where the residents were anything but human. Her fangs itched
to be used and her confusion of how to use them clouded her judgement
and enabled her to stumble into a place where her future could
finally be realized.
But,
when her sire suddenly makes a surprise reappearance, complicating
matters even further, she finds herself quickly drowning in a sea of
bad decisions and mistakes. With the help of a few volunteers from
the Estate, Kedah makes her grand entrance into the world of the
paranormal, where she’ll either survive, or die for good this time.

Interview With Carrie Humphrey:
1.
Can you tell us a little about your books?
The
Briarberry Estate, also known as the Den to the residents, is where
all my books take place. It’s an old Estate that houses every
flavor of paranormal creature that lives local to the area. We have
vampires, werewolves, shifters, witches, ghosts, and fae that are all
living together and just trying to make it day by day.
Kedah
is a vampire that doesn’t know how to be one. She trips over her
own two left feet, doesn’t know how to take from a vein, and lands
herself in trouble, which leads her to the Estate. There she tries to
find a way to make a life for herself, while attempting to make
friends and keep herself out of trouble.
The
first three books of the series follow Kedah as she discovers her way
through immortality, discovers soulmates exist, befriends some
unlikely individuals, and makes it a daily goal to not die for good.

What inspires you to write?
My
stories inspire me to write, to get them on paper then out into the
universe. Of course, I have many people that inspire me to continue
to follow my dream and do what I love and naming them all would be
impossible. But for the most part, creativity inspires me to write
and fuels my ability to mold the imagination of others.
3.
How many books have you written? Which is your favorite?
I
have 3 books out that in my name and 9 anthologies that I’ve been
apart of. So far. My favorite will always be Fanged and Confused
because it’s the book that started it all for me.
4.
Do you have a special time to write or how is your day structured?
I
wish. My last child just started school this year, so its been a
weird thing to make a daily schedule to include writing, when I
haven’t adjusted to having no kids at home during the day. I do try
and write at least 500 words a day, which then inspires me to
continue. It just kinda depends on what random projects I have going
on, what deadlines I have, and what stories are talking to me at the
moment.
5.
Do you have a favorite food or drink you must have nearby when
writing?
I
drink a lot of water and coffee. And I have to have snacky stuff near
me. Things like Chex mix, peanut m&ms, twizzlers. This is also
why my schedule to write also includes scheduled time at the gym.
6.
Do you have a favorite spot to write?
I’m
not to picky, honestly. I have my office upstairs, which is great for
when I need little distractions. I have a library downstairs that I
like to write in because its my library and its amazing! Honestly,
I’ll write anywhere that’s quiet but allows me to listen to
music.
7.
If you had a superpower, what would it be?
Oh
now that’s not fair. . . just one? Hmm. . . . I want the ability to
travel in the blink of an eye. Teleportation. To say I got to write
in a castle on Monday and then snorkel the Great Barrier Reef on
Tuesday would be the best thing every!
8.
What writing projects are you currently working on?
I’m
currently editing book 3, Lonely and Lost, in my Briarberry Estate
series. My next goal is to begin to put out my Children of Gaia
series next year, so I’ve starting plotting that out!
