Meet K.R. Moore: Author of Five Bizarre Short Stories

Tell us about your books

My first book Five Bizarre Short Stories covers five loosely connected shorts that span various genres. From a time-traveling spy thriller and adventure & crime in the wilderness to Sci-Fi mafia action and teenagers battling against a malevolent vampire. My second book currently in the works is a middle-grade story centered around teenage government agents with powers and saving the day.

Which books did you enjoy growing up?

I was a major fan of series such as Alex Rider, Savvy, The 5th Wave, and more throughout middle and high school. In addition, I loved fantasy & Sci-Fi in general.

What are your favorite foods?

French Fries, Hamburgers, Oreo Cookies and Cotton Candy Ice Cream

What do you like to do when you’re not writing?

Study for school, practice my coding.

What did you learn when you were writing your first book?

I learned tough but necessary lessons about voice, pacing, editing and cooperation with others in the industry.

As a child, what did you want to do when you grew up?

Artist, now I’m achieving that in some way technically I suppose.

What is a writing tip for aspiring authors?

I heavily recommend thinking about your long-term goals and how you’ll carefully work towards them. It will make the journey to recognition as an author less daunting.
