Featured Interview With Author Kennedy Lee
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
Kennedy Lee is a product of the settings used in her books. I have lived on the coast of Georgia my entire life. A student of history, I enjoy portraying the area's past through interesting and charming fictional characters involved in adventurous noble pursuits. Readers will identify with the emotions and actions of the people of their time even though they lived over two hundred years ago.
Take a trip back in time and enjoy the ride!
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
As a six-year-old, I walked to my local library about two miles from home every Saturday morning and checked out as many books as they would let me have. I read them all one after another for a day or so and them carried them back on the way to school on Monday. I think I must have read all of the books in my age group three or four times, so I started reading several grades above my level. I was hooked on books.
In high school, the writing bug hit me. Since that time, I have worked as a newspaper editor and recently decided creative writing was my obsession. My hobby for those in between years has been studying and researching the history of coastal Georgia and now I can put it to use creating compelling characters who lived it.
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
I love writers like Daphne DuMaurier, Edith Wharton and Jane Austen. Historical fiction is my favorite genre. Although each book is centered on a romance, the plots are also centered around the fight for a noble cause. Set in Savannah and St. Marys, Georgia, the plots revolve around what was going on two hundred years ago.
Tell us a little about your latest book?
Set in St. Marys, Georgia, in the early 1800s this is the story of Celine Dupre, the daughter of a wealthy French family who was ahead of her time.
She was four different women. There was the Celine who went flounder gigging on Cumberland Island and crabbing in the creeks near St. Marys and loved exploring the marshes at low tide. Then there was the Celine who could float into a room and make every man there forget what he was doing at the time. More serious gentlemen appreciated her intelligence, strength, refinement, and her beauty.
But to really know her, one would have to know the Celine who would drop her anchor to fight the injustice of slavery any time the chance arose. The troubles came when one or more of these women overlapped.
I wrote Celine's story in about two months and loved every minute of it.
