Tell us a little about your latest or upcoming
release.
First of Spring picks up with the story of Kyran and Alexis’
(The Lycan Hunter) daughter, Aryana,
as she journeys towards becoming a better fighter under the guidance of Trent,
the acting Mikko of the Order of Rockys. The gods start with their meddling and
what should have been a simple task turns into something so much more complex
and life threatening.
Are you a mom?
I’m a mom to a spunky, quirky little minion.
If yes do you find it hard to juggle writing and
parenting?
Finding the time to write without the guilt
associated with feeling like a neglectful parent.
Have you ever based your book or characters on
actual events or people from your own life?
Not directly. When it comes to people I have a close
connection with, I don’t think I could do them any justice on the page. I
believe I’m too close to them and will miss something that is integral to why I
find them so awesome. As for events, there are some historical events that will
be mentioned in future books that I’ve managed to work in as a backstory to one
of the most popular gods in the series.
Is there a theme or message in your work that you
would like readers to connect to?
One of the things I like to do in my personal life
is reflect on what I have done to grow and change as an individual. If nothing
else, my characters must grow and change to adapt to the world they inhabit.
Sometimes that growth/change is painful or is brought about through pain, but
it is all necessary to become the best version of yourself.
What would your readers be surprised to learn about
you?
I can be quite chatty. My social media pages have
random bouts of silence, but that has more to do with my moments of heavy
introspection. However, if you get to know me, you may hope that I’d just shut
up lol.
When you’re not writing what do you do? Do you have
any hobbies or guilty pleasures?
I’m a gamer. I love video games. Lately I’ve been
playing a lot of iOS based games, but at my core I’m a PC gamer, with a
preference for MMOs.
Is there a genre(s) that you’d like to write that
you haven’t tackled yet?
In the future I hope to get back to a sci fi series
that I started a few years ago. I also have a few thrillers and a paranormal
erotica series I want to work on.
If this book is part of a series…what is the next
book? Any details you can share?
The next book in the series is called Soul of a Rocky, followed by the series
finale, Lykil (a title I want to
change but said god won’t let me lol).
As for details of what’s to come…Major changes that
impact not only the mortals directly involved, but the gods themselves.
What is next for you? Do you have any scheduled
upcoming releases or works in progress?
Currently I am working on The Hunters Blade, my Wattpad exclusive story about the Gardinian
World from the Hunter’s point of view. It isn’t a retelling of any of the
previous books in the series. And because I can’t do one book at a time, I’m
also working on book 4, Soul of a Rocky
at the same time.

Book Description:
Caution: The Gardinian World Novels are a trip into a paranormal world where the gods of Gardas are real, the sex can be downright raunchy, and more than a few four letter words litter the page.
Forged from a childhood filled with bloodshed and death, Trent had been raised with a blade in his hands. He lives the life of a warrior and carves through his enemies as if seeking redemption for his mother’s ultimate sacrifice. As the acting Mikko of the Order of Rockys, Trent leads the most dominant Lycans in the world. For that reason alone, he has no use or understanding for those who wallow in their vulnerabilities, rather than exercise their power over their own destiny.
Aryana doesn’t dream of everlasting love. Her life is ruled by a song that echoes from the halls of Oblivia, a fate that came to her under the thundering hooves of the Mares of Night. She is going to die, but with no clue as to when or why, Aryana is forced to do everything she can to negate the haunting words of fate,
“Weakness dies and you are weak.”
But the gods are merciless in their meddling in the lives of powerful mortals and the ones they love. How far will Trent have to fall for the weak female who steps in his life and claims his soul?
Teaser Excerpt
Aryana
was scraping the last of the potatoes from the plate when he stepped out of the
bathroom clothed in his typical jeans, t-shirt, and mountain ready boots. The
way his shirt clung to him conjured another hunger, one that she found funny
considering her physical state. She should be exhausted. The idea of Trent’s
body pushing against hers with his deep and powerful strokes put sleep on the
back burner and sex on the front.
About the Author:
Kelsey Jordan is the author of The Gardinian World novels. Though she has a preference for all things paranormal and romantic, Kelsey admits she just writes what her muse demands of her. It’s less painful that way. When she isn’t enjoying the momentary benefits of playing god to the many characters that live in her head, she can usually be found curled up with a book, killing something in a video game, or spending time with her family. At some point in the day she is probably drinking more than her recommended dose of coffee, but don’t tell her that. She doesn’t care about recommended servings.
As a Texas native and self-described Air Force brat, Kelsey now lives in Georgia with her husband and their tutu-wearing minion.
