Author: Samantha Gillespie
Series: The Kingdom Within Series #1
Genre: YA, Fantasy Romance
Princess Meredith’s eighteenth birthday is fast approaching, but unlike other girls, she is not looking forward to it. Upon her coming of age, she is to marry the prince of Alder, the most powerful kingdom in the world. Though the idea of marriage to a complete stranger is appalling, she knows she has no choice. Without the marriage contract, Stonefall’s alliance with Alder will be lost, and her people will be safe no longer; Theros, King of Talos, has set his eyes of conquest on Stonefall and he wants Meredith dead.
Connor, an elite soldier entrusted with Meredith’s safety, arrives at the palace just as things begin to take a turn for the worst. Together, they will embark on a journey of survival, in which Meredith will find that the only thing she never prepared for was falling in love.

INTERVIEW
1.
When
did you realize that you wanted to become a writer? What was the very first
thing you ever wrote?
Until after I started writing The Kingdom Within. The first
thing I ever wrote was a scene of a girl’s first day in a new high school; I
was in sixth grade at the time.
2. Do you read reviews
of your books? What do you do when you read a not-so-nice one?
Yes; I think
it’s important to read reviews to grow as a writer. Not-so-nice reviews can be
painful, but they can also be very helpful, so I always try to see them in a
positive way.

of technology you can't live without?
My cellphone.

hero?
Jane
Austen!
