Hello! My name is Kathy Dinisi and I write in Horror.

Tell me about your book. How did you come up with that (story, angle, idea)?

My newest release is The Caverns.It comes out March 23. I first thought of this story when I first went to visit caverns In Arizona 3 years ago. It was so creepy and fun,I had to write about it.

I just love Horror books and movies.

Besides actually visiting the location I had to do a lot of research on the road and creating the story.

 

Can you tell me about your Series?

I got it from my home town and what would I do in this situation.

What kind of research did you do for this book?

I researched the location in Arizona and the miles from the location to California.

Yes, but I didn’t want to keep going with the series after book 3. As of 2018 Hell Bound will continue.

 

What’s a typical working day like for you? When and where do you write? Do you set a daily writing goal?

It really depends. When I have a new release coming out, I dedicate all my time and effort on the release. After the release I start writing again. I usually write in my office.

Do you have a new book in the making and if so, what’s the name of your upcoming book?

I do, Hell Bound book 4. It should be released late 2018.

Places I have visited or would like to visit.
