Interviewing Author Kayla Klassen





Tell me about yourself?

Well, let’s see… I am a wife and mother to two children who are 12 & 15. I have one dog and one cat (my furbabies!). I love reading, writing, drinking coffee, nature, animals, and music. 


2. What are your favorite books to read?


Actually, I really like to read health-related books, spiritual books, and I will reread select books that I love over and over again. They are feel-good books to me! I also read verses from the Bible every day.


3. When did you decide you were going to write a book?


I have always wanted to write a children’s book. Though at the beginning of 2021, my New Year’s Resolution was to publish a children’s book – so here I am, as of July 31st of this year, I self-published my children’s book titled “Nature Ninjas”!

4. How did you come up with the name of your book?


As I wrote the story, of Riley and Milo searching for animal friends in the forest, the title “Nature Ninjas” popped into my head because I wrote about different creatures in the woods that are very ninja-like in nature. Sneaky, bouncy, fast-moving, high jumping, and swift on their feet… and wings!

5. What are you working on for 2021/22?


I have multiple stories written and edited that are waiting to become fun, illustrated books for children! I am working on my next project as we speak!

6. How long have you been writing?


Well if you had the chance to look back through past school work of mine, you would definitely see many stories that were written – my kids laugh at them. Even from my Elementary School days, I always have enjoyed writing.

7. What advice would you give other authors?


To keep going! Even if you have doubts, move past them and keep writing, editing, formatting, asking questions, and creating! You will be very proud of yourself in the end and so will I!








8. Where can people find you online?


I have all the social media!

9. What is your favorite coffee drink?


Oh! My favorite coffee is a black Americano with biscotti to dip! I absolutely enjoy a cup of coffee first thing in the morning and then again in the afternoon for coffee o’clock.

10. What is your favorite coffee shop?


Well, in my town my favorite place for an Americano is called “Bliss Bakery”!

11. Do you plan on making a new book in the future?


Oh yes! I am working on my next project now!

12. How many books have you written?


Currently, I have five more stories that I have written. They have been edited and some have been submitted to traditional publishers.

13. Did you go to college to be a writer?


No, I did not; actually I went to college for Business Administration. Funny enough, in High school, I was involved in the Writing Career Preparatory Group. I remember attending a day-long writing event with multiple workshops – and feeling how awesome it was to attend workshops to help one learn to write more effectively. 

Thank you again for the chance to be interviewed for your blog. Sincerely, Kayla Klassen

Interviewing Author  Margie Harding Q1. Tell me about your self?    A. I am a wife to Charles (47 years), momma to 5 grown children— four of which are married, with 17 grandchildren and another on the way!  I enjoy reading and writing and when I have the time, I enjoy quilting and studying all kinds of things!  I like learning!  My husband and I travel a good deal and plan to visit Alaska, the only state we haven’t been to in our married life!  I have a strong faith and believe God has given me the gift of writing for a purpose.  It took me a while to realize it, but the perspective of my writing includes writing for children with disabilities—- but not only for the children with the disability, but for the one who asks, ‘What’s wrong with my friend?’  This makes these books unique and a great resource for a classroom as a starting point for conversation.
