What was the hardest part of getting your book out there? (ie: writing, editing, self publishing, ect.)
Chasity Nicole Earnhardt-Lipke Definitely getting my e-book to work right on Smashwords. My epub version doesn't like me and every time I upload it I get an error thrown at me.

Chaisty if you met that one author that you can say "gosh I love to meet that author" What would you do or say? Where would you go if you had one full day spent with them? Would you write a story about your time with them? Would you ask your boyfriend if he had anything to do with it occurring? Would you be calm and collected or speechless? Would you see them as a human? Would you ask them how they overcome any challenges either in life as a writer or just writing in general?
Sorry I wrote so much but I think it is very important for us fans to honestly hear the heart and soul from your eyes and heart.

Chasity Nicole Earnhardt-Lipke I used to watch Captain Planet but I can tell you that wasn't an influence here.
Robert I don't really believe so. Ember had always been up in my head and she is more so based off of myself. The other females are based off of my friends as for the guys, some can be loosely considered based off of some guys that have came and gone from my life. Spike is based off of my boyfriend.

Chasity Nicole Earnhardt-Lipke It is a trilogy series. Wickedly Misunderstood is only book one of the Valhaven Island Trilogy. Book two is still being written. I hope to have it out by next year.

True, which one of the characters do you know or like the most and why, who you must be thinking about even when you are on your own? — withChasity Nicole Earnhardt-Lipke.

Chasity Nicole Earnhardt-Lipke My favorite character by far is Ember. She is fun to write and is a temper-mental hot head from time to time. She tends to have a bit of an attitude problem. She is actually based a lot of myself and it can be heartwrenching to write the scenes where she gets hurt and that happens quite a lot. A character I hate is Blade, I'm not fond of him at all. He causes a lot of misery throughout the book.

Thanks, what do you enjoy the most in writing your story or creating your characters, do you have a moment when you really feel proud or satisfied about your writing, when is that, if you know please? — with Chasity Nicole Earnhardt-Lipke.

Chasity Nicole Earnhardt-Lipke I enjoy being able to create a world of people and giving a person away of escaping the real world. There was a few parts I stumbled on while editing that had me on the edge of my seat and I wrote the scene, but it had been a while since I wrote it so I was eager to see what happened. I cried when I wrote the last two chapters of the book, because I was sad to see it end and sad to have to write how it ended.

Chasity Nicole Earnhardt-Lipke Wickedly Misunderstood is a teen fiction and young adult novel. I've had reviews saying the characters had superficial good looks. As for other stories, I have the final books in this series, two children's books, a crime series, a ghost hunting series, an end of the world book, a Alice spin-off, plus a few short stories that are in anthology projects that are sort of dark in nature.

Chasity Nicole Earnhardt-Lipke Wickedly Misunderstood deals with eleven teens who have super human abilities. The teens are brought to an island where they are supposed to learn how to control their abilities and learn why they have them in the first place. Only there is a dark secret on the island and you have to see if Ember can figure it out before anything bad happens.
