Interview: Kim Cresswell (Deadly Shadow) ~ #Excerpt

Posted on by


 

Hello and Welcome All!

Today I’m very lucky to be interviewing Kim Cresswell author of Deadly Shadow.

How did you select your narrator?

Selecting a narrator isn’t as easy as it sounds. Some voices are too high. Some are too low. Others are too fast or too slow. I had an idea of what I wanted my main characters to sound like because Deadly Shadow has a lot of emotional backstory and that was important to me as far as selecting a narrator. I listened to numerous auditions before selecting Robin’s audition which was perfect for my characters and the story.

Are you an audiobook listener? What about the audiobook format appeals to you?

I was never an audiobook listener until about eight months ago. I l love them! What appeals to me is that books truly come to life in audio. The listener hears and feels every part of the action and emotion in a story. It pulls them in and keeps them connected to the story.

If this title were being made into a TV series or movie, who would you cast to play the  primary roles?

My *dream* cast for the TV series would be:
FBI Agent Victory McClane played by Mireille Enos

Government Assassin Derrick Lynn played by Gino Anthony Pesi

President Burke played by Ray Liotta

Ryan Slater (Victory’s partner) played by – Chad Michael Murray

Jeremy Elder played by Jason Ritter

What’s your favorite:

  1. Food – Chocolate!
  2. Song – Sign of the Times by Harry Styles
  3. Book – Waiting Wives by Donna Moreau
  4. Television show  – There are so many to choose from. Fringe is one of my favorite TV shows. I was devastated when it went off the air.
  5. Movie – The Last of the Mohicans
  6. Band –  I’m a huge Meatloaf fan!
  7. Sports team – I’m not a sports-type person at all.
  8. City – My own city! London, Ontario Canada, known as The Forest City.

 

What’s next for you?

I’m presently working on a super-secret book project co-authored with a super-talented author and friend.  I can’t say much more about the project at this time, but it will be spectacular! I’m also writing the second book in The Assassin Chronicles series: Invisible Truth and the fourth book in my action-packed Whitney Steel romantic thriller series: Redemption.

Thank you very much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to take part in this interview.

When another young woman turns up dead and the victim is linked to Derrick Lynn, son of the Secretary of Defense, Victory finds Derrick has all the right answers and is a little too helpful.

But can Victory trust him?

As the body count rises, Victory must cross a dangerous line—into a world of government cover-ups, murder, and betrayal—a decision that will test her limits. And everything she believes in.
