Excerpt from Bonds of Friendship:
Without a word, the fairy motioned for her to follow. Karigan waited a moment as the fairy flew to the opening of the cave. Great, I suppose I have to go in there now! Irritation was growing with every step as the entrance loomed a few feet ahead of her. But the sound of the rushing water began to calm her. Maybe it won’t be so bad. Perhaps something interesting is inside, like that time Father and I found that little den in the Wood.
She waited for Alia to tell her to go in. To her surprise, the little fairy twisted and swooped inside. The little ball of blue light helped ease her fears and allowed her to see that the cave wasn’t too deep. Karigan walked forward. examining every little detail and wondering what kind of creature called this cavern its home. Towards the back she saw shimmering lights reflecting on the stone wall as Alia hovered near the edge. Hmmm… I wonder what that could be.
As she approached the spot, the smell of moss filled her nose as a little trickle of water splashed the stone floor. The little trickle opened into a basin which created a pool of water, almost like a water dish. Two feet from the little pool was a large broken stone. The peculiar stone piqued her curiosity, so she adventured over to investigate it.
“Alia, can you come closer so I can see?”
The fairy swooped down, landing on a nearby rock.
“Here, how’s this?” Placing her hands together a bright light formed. Karigan watched it float across the distance then stop above the item she wished to see.
“Wow, why didn’t you use that earlier?” As expected, the fairy shrugged her tiny shoulders. “You didn’t ask.”
A snort escaped her, startling the little fairy. Serves you right, you little menace. She kneeled down, looking inside the funny rock. It must have been round to begin with. After inspecting it, she concluded that it must have broken from the inside the way the pieces were scattered across the cave floor. “What kind of creature lives in a rock?” Shards of light reflected off the sides, looking like glass from the inside.
Alia snickered. Karigan was about to ask her what she was snickering about when rocks slid by the entrance. “What was that?” They both looked towards the bright opening as a small growl filled the cave. “Helblazes!”

Can you, for those who don’t know you already, tell something about yourself and how you became an author?
My name is Katie Jenkins-Merical. I write under the acronym K.M. Jenkins. This is the name I decided on after I tried starting my writing career with two other names.
I’ve been in the writing world for over ten years. Pretty much since I started out at college in 2010. My journey through school was interesting to say the least. I had a blog with a writing competition that was going. This allowed me to meet other writers and people in the industry. But while I loved writing I struggled in my day-to-day life at school. It wasn’t until 2013 when I went to Briar Cliff University that I decided I wanted to be a graphic designer. It helped me learn different crafts inside the publishing world and I did a minor in mass communications. This also allowed me to learn about journalism and writing in itself. My advisor thought I should do a writing major, but I wanted to broaden my horizons.
In 2015, I graduated with my bachelors in graphic design and minor in mass communications. But I didn’t get a job in my field. The spots were pretty limited, but I got more involved with writing and the indie author world. This lead me to adventure from home for a few years and putting things on hold when I got pregnant with my twin boys. But I ended up having to be a stay at home mom so I got back into my writing to keep my sanity.
Now I have gotten my LLC for my publishing business. I publish box sets and series sets featuring authors around the world. Then I also publish my own stories under this publishing business name. I offer a range of author services for authors in the world of publishing. You can check them out over on storytellerpub22.com. Most of my free time is put towards being a personal assistant, which I love. But I also have plenty of time to write when the kids aren’t driving me crazy.
This was a little background about myself. Stop at the other blogs throughout the tour to get to know me a little more. You won’t want to miss out on our young adult fantasy adventure box set that is coming out in October. Ties of Friendship is just the beginning of adventure when friendship is involved.
