Hello everyone! Today’s YA Indie Author Interview is with Keith Gouveia, author of Children of the Dragon.

Summery: An evil power has been set loose upon the peaceful land known as Great Germaine. A tyrant is stealing the life force of fairies, unicorns, dragons, and others, harnessing it, changing its purity into a devastating power in order to rule the land with an iron fist. Balthazar Despot has made it his goal to eliminate all mystical creatures, and with each victim, he grows more powerful.

During their summer vacation, while visiting their father, Ricky and Alyssa Randall are transported to the foreign land of Great Germaine. Once there, the children meet an old couple, Ardor and Tora. However, they are a couple of which Ricky and Alyssa have seen only in storybooks. They are dragons.

In an effort to return peace to the land, the children and the elderly dragons fuse their bodies, becoming powerful warriors and Great Germaine’s last hope.

Join Ricky and Alyssa in their quest to restore peace to a magical world, and to find a way home to their loving father.

 The first sentence of the novel: In a world parallel to Earth, there lies a lush green continent.

Children of the Dragon can be purchased on Amazon.

1)When do you most frequently write morning, middle of the day, or at night? My writing time is mostly at night during the week, and whenever the muse strikes me on the weekends.

2)What inspired you to write this story? When my children were younger, all I had written was horror novels and my son would ask with each new book, “Can I read this one?” so I wrote Children of the Dragon to finally be able to answer “yes”.

3)Do you prefer music or silence when writing? I just prefer to sit beside my wife with the laptop and partake in whatever she would like to do. Usually the news or Entertainment Tonight. I’ve learned to work without the need for silence.

4)What are you currently working on now? Currently writing new werewolf short stories for a sequel collection to my highly praised Animal Behavior and Other Tales of Lycanthropy.

5)What were the last five book you read?
Gil’s All Fright Diner
Cirque du Freak: A Living Nightmare
Cirque du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant
Cirque du Freak: Tunnels of Blood
R.I.P.
