I get to talk to Kate about her current work.
Tell us about your new book—what is it about—and when it is out? Where can people purchase it?Til Death is my latest book. It’s about a girl who dreams the future and a boy who is banished to the two she lives in and the hell that breaks lose when they meet. I can’t reveal much because it’ll spoil the plot. *winks* You can actually already pre-order Til Death on Amazon. The release date is June 4. Make sure to add it to your TBR list on Goodreads.
Is there anything new, unusual, or interesting about your book? How is it different from other books on the same subject?
Til Death is a great combination of funny, sad, scary, exciting, and steamy. The characters can stand on their own, but together they are combustible. I’ve been in love with this story for so long, I just want to share it with everyone already. June can’t come soon enough.
Did you learn anything from writing this book and what was it?
That I enjoy writing in the perspective of Dillan. I love writing in the perspective of the hero, not just the heroine.
If you had to do it all over again, would you change anything in this book?
It’s actually funny. I started writing Til Death with a certain storyline in mind. Through the years, the story evolved. Then as I edit it with my amazing editor, I realized the story returned to the original plan. Funny how when the storyline is meant to be it’ll eventually go back to that.
Is there a message in your novel that you want readers to grasp?
Like in the poem Road Not Taken, no matter what road you choose, the outcome in the end will be the same. *wiggles eyebrows*
Author Bio:
When Kate Evangelista was told she had a knack for writing stories, she did the next best thing: entered medical school. After realizing she wasn’t going to be the next Doogie Howser, M.D., Kate wandered into the Literature department of her university and never looked back. Today, she is in possession of a piece of paper that says to the world she owns a Literature degree. To make matters worse, she took Master’s courses in creative writing. In the end, she realized to be a writer, none of what she had mattered. What really mattered? Writing. Plain and simple, honest to God, sitting in front of her computer, writing. Today, she has four completed Young Adult novels.

The storyline came full circle. Funny when that happens, isn't it?
Congratulations on your upcoming book, Kate.
The best storylines take you full circle, don't they? Good observation, Alex.
