Interview with Karen Kay, Author of She Belongs In My World

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write She Belongs In My World?

This is the fifth book in The Medicine Man Series, and two of the characters from book four in the series needed to have their story told.

If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of She Belongs In My World, what would they be?

It would be the country song by the late, great Jim Reeves, Welcome To My World.

What’s your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?

Definitely romance, whether historical or contemporary, paranormal or western, I love them all. However, another genre is becoming a favorite, and these are the true stories I read from James Willard Schultz about the Blackfeet Indians of long ago.

What books are on your TBR pile right now?

Many true adventure stories of Pitamakan and Thomas Fox; true stories of Rising Wolf and Red Crow and his sister, Mint Woman, and many other true stories of long ago. For my other love, romance, I love the stories of Linda Broday, Pam Crooks, Shanna Hatfield, and Cassie Edwards.

What scene in your book was your favorite to write?

This would be a tossup, I think, between one scene where the hero first sees the heroine for the first time after a long four years apart; or it could be the scouts revenge scene where the villain is not killed, but is brought down to pay for his injustice to the heroine; but perhaps the other favorite scene in the book is the snow scene where the hero and heroine have a snowball fight and where they learn more about themselves as individuals and as a couple.

Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?

Help others as much as one can. Be a willing ear to listen to another’s woes. And be as kind as one can be. There’s not enough kindness in the world today, I think. There should be more.

If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?

I would like to take the reader on the journey along with the heroine and hero. I’d like the reader to be able to experience the story as if she or he were there. I like my readers to be able to forget their cares, if only for a little while. And if I can accomplish this, perhaps then all my study and research and doing my best to pour emotion into my stories will be worth the effort.
