When they send me pictures of themselves holding my books or send messages with their comments, it makes my dat. I recently had a reader who told me she and her husband are trying for their first child and, if it's a girl, one of the names they're considering is Darshelle, one of the main characters from my New Blood Saga. I can't even describe how impactful that is to me to have my books reach someone that deeply. So I would love to meet more of them in person in Sandy!" According to Sinister Soup podcast co-founder, Clay Vermulm, Kilpack "is a wonderful man who works extremely hard on his craft. Kilpack delivers a stunning blow to the belief that Indie-Fantasy is worth any less that its salt [with] well-crafted epic[s] with unique plot mechanisms, well-developed and believable characters, and a world grounded in the visceral and the real."
