Hi guys and girls! Welcome to WOW Wednesday. My 10th guest is K.D. Emerson,
author of roller-coaster ride Digitus 233, which you can grab right now for 99c/75p!
She is also the beauty and brains behind Master Koda Publishing! Without any further ado,
here is K.D. Emerson, who is also celebrating her birthday today. Hip, hip...
First of all, my guest has this to say to her readers:
"Thanks to all the readers of my work and for your precious input. I don’t think you realise how much it means to me. Each one of you has given me a gift with your kind words. May God bless you in every step you take and may your life be filled with that glorious peace that passes all understanding."
A group of teens are caught in a web of deceit. Will they break free of the world’s controlling power
or are they doomed to die trying?

Interview with K.D. Emerson
If you could go back in time to
when you were seven, what wisdom would you pass on to herself?
Don’t you dare put that pen down! No
matter what anyone says, no matter how impractical it might seem, don’t put the
pen down because when you get older there will be people that love your style
and your writing will make a difference in their lives.
What inspired your characters in Digitus 233?
All my characters are created from the dark
corners of my mind with a little snippet of their personality inspired by a
real person. So no matter who your favourite character is in one of my books, you will know there is someone real hidden in there somewhere. It’s up to the
reader to figure out what that snippet is.
Why did you end
Digitus 233 with such a horrifying cliffhanger? Did you want the reader to scream?
Well, you just hit the
answer to your own question right on the head. I wanted my readers to scream out
and then I wanted them to use their own imagination to come up with their own
possible ending. In book two, I will share my conclusion with them and then we
can compare how close we came to having the same resolution.
What
brings you the deepest sense of happiness?
Knowing that I have made a difference in
someone’s life. I have an ability to feel deep joy when I watch others succeed.
You
are the owner of Master Koda Select Publishing, LLC. Is it the first business
you have ever owned?
*Laughter* Nooo! I was just a kid of six or
seven when I first ventured into the land of entrepreneurial adventures. I was
always hunting around for something to sell. One summer it was candy out of the
back of a little red wagon (my venture into door-to-door sales and another time it
was a carnival in my back yard. One summer I gathered all the neighbourhood kids, and made them memorise lines and dress in ridiculous costumes, and we charged
all the adults to suffer through our off-off-off-Broadway plays. The one
ongoing business I had was selling my stories on the playground at school, so
I guess I was an indie publisher way back before it was popular.
What
is your favourite genre to read on a rainy day?
No matter the weather or genre, three
important aspects must be present:
1. It can be a romance, thriller, fantasy or
sci-fi, but the author has to make me believe it’s possible;
2. The plot must
be intriguing and tightly written;
3. The characters have to be
three-dimensional. No cardboard
cut-outs for this girl.
What
is the meaning of life?
To leave the earth a better place for having
been here
