Read on to see a snippet of the questions asked. If you want to read the full interview visit Kim’s post here. For more info about Spell Bound, check out our post here!
Kim Bartosch: Tell us about yourself and how you became a writer.
FT Lukens: Hello. My name is FT Lukens and I write YA speculative fiction. I started writing as a hobby, really as an outlet for creativity. I have always loved creating stories and characters. I began writing as a child but became really invested when I was a teenager and in college. Though I didn’t start to think about writing as a career until my twenties and didn’t publish any fiction until my 30’s. I absolutely love what I do and that I get to be creative and use my imagination as my job. That’s so special to me that I’ve turned my childhood daydreams of magic, dragons, and mermaids into a career.
KB: How long did it take you to write and edit Spell Bound?
FTL: The first draft took about four months to write. Editing took much longer! The final draft was not ready until about ten months after the first words were written.
