Interviewed By Cindy Bauer

2009-08-02T06:02:00.003-05:00

A native of Ashland, Kentucky, Katie Sansone now resides in Des Moines, Iowa with her husband and family pets. They have two daughters and six adorable grandchildren.

Cindy: Welcome back to Writer's Block, Ms. Sansone (Katie)! As we hope many others know, you've been very busy publishing book after book. So now that you're a more "seasoned" author, can you tell us what we might expect to see on the market next?

Katie: Hello Cindy! Thank you so much for this interview. As for what's on the market next for me, well you know I have a series of Katie Bear and Friends coming out sometime in August. These are adorable books for little ones from two years through ten, I would think, and I know they will love Katie Bear and "growing up" with her. The illustrations are done by Donna Wulf (your sister-in-law) and they are so "Disney" and adorable that I know all the children will love them!

Cindy: Of all your published works to date, which one was your favorite to write and why?

Katie: Probably Katie Bear as it was my first work, which I shelved back in 1997, I think, and then decided to get it published. I love writing the children's books. Quincy & Quigley was fun to do, as well as Heavenly Hannah and Pandora. But my favorite is Katie Bear.

Cindy: And least favorite?

Katie: Probably the 24 hours in Hell book because it brought back a lot of memories of the dream I had so many years ago.

Cindy: Many of your stories were inspired by reading to your own children as they were growing up. Are any of the stories you've written the same stories you weaved for your own children?

Katie: I don't think so, but maybe somewhere in the back of my mind Katie Bear, Q & Q, Hannah and Pandora were bursting to come out!

Cindy: You've written in several different genres (categories). Which one do you prefer writing in and why?

Katie: As I said before, I prefer children's books because I have always loved kids and because they are so much fun to write!

Cindy: Where can we purchase your books and do you offer signed copies?

Katie: They can be purchased at lulu.com, Amazon and other online book stores, I believe. Yes - I have several copies of Quincy & Quigley on hand at my home and a few of Pandora, My Life Journal and My First 24 Hours In Hell. If anyone wants a signed copy I would be more than happy to do that too and send it to them for the cost of the book plus S & H.

Cindy: What websites or blogs can we visit to learn more about you and to keep up-to-date with your upcoming books?

Katie: There a few sites people can go to for my info on my books, just to name a few.: my website at jnksansone.com, my blog at vksansone.blogspot.com and also on your website at cindybauerbooks.com.

You were kind enough to put pics of the books and info on your many sites, too and I thank you for that.

Cindy: Tell us briefly about your most intriguing dreams and do you still have them?

Katie: I believe the worst dream as I said was back in the late 70's about what hell was like; thus my hell book was born from that. Another dream I had was about Jesus coming back, which I had in California back in '68 I believe. As for any dreams lately, no I can't say I have had any. I have had quite a few in my lifetime though and I believe they were special and GOD could have meant them just for me (or to share them).

Cindy: What has been your most satisfying result in seeing a book published and what do you hope your readers will take away from the experience of reading one?

Katie: The most satisfying to me was when I have had people tell me that they read my books and loved them! Some were lifted up by My Life Journal and some were scared by the one I wrote on hell. The children loved my kiddie books and were delighted by the animal characters I wrote about, so that is a pleasure for me too. I hope everyone who reads any of my books, takes away heart-warming thoughts that capture simpler times of their own childhood. Perhaps some good memories of their own while reading My Life Journal and perhaps come to a better understanding of what the afterlife is like from My First 24 Hours in Hell.

Cindy: In parting, is there anything more you'd like to tell the readers that I may not have covered in this interview?

Katie: No not really Cindy. It seems you have "covered your bases" pretty well. As you usually do (as I have learned from you editing my books). See me smiling from ear to ear as I say that. Thank you again, Cindy for all you've done to help me in promoting my books and for your friendship which I treasure.

Cindy: Thank you for coming back, Katie! It was a pleasure interviewing you again.

Blessings!
