    5 Easy Questions: Kelley Heckart author The Bear Goddess @CelticChick #RLFblog #Fantasy

    5 Easy Questions is an interview is designed to be quick,
    easy, and fun. Today’s guest is Kelley Heckart.
    What were you like when
    you were in school?
    I was quiet and shy. My teachers wrote on my report cards that
    I needed to speak up more in class.
    What is your favorite
    quote?
    “Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks
    of changing himself.” Leo Tolstoy
    What was your favorite
    book as a child?
    I started reading at age 4 so I don’t remember what I liked then,
    but I do remember when I was a little older I liked the Nancy Drew series. I do
    remember a favorite book as a pre-teen: Where the Red Fern Grows. I also liked The
    Outsiders.
    What was the last movie
    you watched (home or theater)?
    Divergent. I liked it because there was a strong female heroine
    who wasn’t afraid to fight back.
    If the hero of your latest
    book called you on the phone, what would be a perfect ringtone for him?
    My latest hero is a centaur shifter so I guess it would be a
    song about horses. Wild Horses by the Rolling Stones would be his ringtone. I love
    that song.

    among the nymphs of Artemis, taking a sacred vow of purity. But when she meets a
    mysterious man, her life changes forever.
    Kasin is a prince among the fierce centaurs and one of few who
    can take human shape. A follower of Zeus, he is mystified to save a nymph’s life
    and even worse, to fall in love with an enemy of the centaurs. He is torn between
    his duty to his people and his love for Callisto.
    When
    the nymphs capture Kasin for their next sacrifice, his capture threatens to expose

    must evade Pan’s vengeance as well as others who also want to keep them apart. Will
    their love for each other be enough to save them?
