Greetings, friends. :) Honestly, can't believe I'm already writing the final post of the tour. It seemed forever away when we first started planning, then everything flew by once the tour started, and now it's nearly over!
Anyway, moving on... Thank you all so, so much for the sweet support and encouragement you've shown to us and our books during this almost-two-weeks. I've been so blessed by the outpouring of love. <3 And, also, thank you for sharing the fundraiser preorder for Freedom! We've broke past $150, well on our way to the new goal of $200.
For today's post, we're answering a few more questions from the Q&A that we received after Monday's post—a couple below and more on Kate's blog. Teal is Kate, purple is me. And the giveaway winners are announced at the end of the post! :)
Kaitlyn Krispense, Author
|| Q&A 2.0
Who's backstory was the hardest to write in Beloved?
Probablyyyyyyy Titus and Fergus’s. Just because it got changed more than once until I was finally satisfied with it.
In Freedom, how long did editing take?
Ehh, nearly two years, on and off. I did work on multiple other projects during that time, but yeah, quite a while. Freedom has grown and changed a lot during that time.
How did you decide what you wanted your cover to look like?
I knew that I wanted it to have a water/beach theme, and after experimenting with about a gajillion mock covers, I finally found one I loved. *shrugs*
Relatable. At first, I just knew I wanted there to be a flag on the cover in some way, because of the book’s strong military ties. Other than that, I didn’t really know what I wanted. But when the broken glass idea struck, it was…love at first sight.
