Hello out there all you donkey kicking mo’ fuggers out there in cyberspace! First off, thank you so very much for stopping by “The Nerdy Side of Life” blog, you all freaking rock and I greatly appreciate it. Secondly, please welcome my very special guest Karina Kantas to our ranks, and make sure to show her some much deserved love. Here’s more about her, check it out and feel free to ask questions.
Take it away Karina Kantas (or Miss Kantas if you’re
nasty)…
With my
love for rock music and S.E.Hinton's YA novels, it's no surprise my first novel
was in the rebel teen fiction genre. My following novels are MC thrillers. But
those that have read my short story collections Heads & Tales and UNDRESSED
know I'm not just a "one genre" author.
Born in the
midlands UK, I grew up in a poor, rough area of town and used my writing to
escape an unsettling reality. Delving deep into my characters' minds and
hearts, I give my readers thought provoking and sometimes dark and violent
story-lines.
I have over
thirty publications including book reviews, film reviews, poetry and articles.
Nominated
top ten of female authors of biker fiction, my horror story Crossed, also won
the first prize in an International Short Story contest.
With an
International fan base, you can find me on popular network sites such as
Twitter and Facebook where I'm only too happy to interact with my readers.
No matter
what genre of fiction I write, you'll always hear loud rock music playing while
I work, as it allows me to fade away and become one with my characters.
Don't
except happy endings in my novels as I write about real life.
What you
will get is exciting story-lines that will have you glued to the pages and
desperate for more.
I live on
the beautiful Island of Corfu with my Greek husband and two daughters.

Well…pretty frigging awesome, right? Great things are yet to come from her; I have no doubt about that. Keep your eyes peeled for what’s to come, and don’t forget to support her and her work if you enjoyed what she had to say here. I know I will, because I am a fan for sure.
