Sit back and enjoy this interview with our Host Courtney Ripoll-McBride diving in and asking Kendra Thomas advice for aspiring writers, what her books are all about about, what inspired her to start writing books and much more!
Kendra Thomas is from Mapleton Utah, a small town pressed against the beautiful Rocky Mountains. Kendra has been an aspiring author since she was in sixth grade. She has a passion for fairy tales and fiction books. Along with songwriting, horse riding, and playing the guitar. Kendra Thomas is a Dental Hygienist by day and a writer by night. She earned her bachelor's degree at the Utah College of Dental Hygiene at the young age of nineteen years old. She is also happily married to her best friend, Cade Thomas, who is always pushing her to be ambitious and creative. Her most wanted dream is for others to love her stories and characters as much as she cherishes them. She hopes to inspire other young authors to pursue their dreams, and to write about the worlds inside their heads as she was once inspired to do as a young girl. She hopes that the Granted Series might be a place of sanctuary for those seeking a whimsical getaway and a thrilling adventure.
