Kailin Gow began writing
books for tween girls to help them with self-confidence and self-esteem.
Her book, Gifted Girls Activities Guide to 365 Days of the Week, became
a reference book used in girls organizations across the U.S. As her
tween fans grew to become teens and young adults, Kailin began writing
engaging and entertaining young adult book series for them. The results
are book series like the Frost Series, PULSE Series, Wicked Woods
Series, Stoker Sisters, Phantom Diaries, The Fire Wars, FADE, DESIRE,
and more.
All her books are
inspired by personal experiences. Saving You Saving Me was inspired by
her experience as a peer counselor for young women during college and
from her psychology major college roommate's experience being in a
relationship similar to the one portrayed by Sam and Collins in the
book. Loving Summer was inspired by Kailin's experience growing up with a
family consisting of a mother, two sons, and a daughter who went
through a similar experience of tragedy in the book. Aunt Sookie is
based on herself and some actor friends she knows. The Frost Series,
Circus of Curiosities Series, and FADE Series came about through vivid
dreams. Never Say Never was inspired by Kailin's experience as a radio
host and working with and interviewing bands, as well as having college
friends who were in bands. Kailin also played the drums and keyboard for
a band she once started. A classically-trained musician, she was once
led her school orchestra, playing first chair violin. Her experience in
the music world and her love of Phantom of the Opera, inspired the
Phantom Diaries. PULSE was inspired when Kailin was in the hospital
suffering from heavy blood loss post surgery and needed several bags of
blood to survive (like a vampire). Beautiful Beings was inspired by her
college encounter with a young demon exorcist. A pastor once told her
she had the gift of sight and that she was destined to become a prolific
author, many times over.
She began taking her
writing seriously when her daughter was diagnosed as being on the
spectrum and her mother was fighting three types of cancer. Four years
later, her daughter was no longer on the spectrum, and her mother became
cancer free. Kailin believes in hope and miracles, after having been
through several struggles and experiences herself. This is why she
writes.
When not busy inhaling
chocolate and drinking coffee by the gallon, Kailin makes time for
writing fantasy books, blogging as an expert blogger for Fast Company,
volunteering as an Emergency Responder and volunteering for battered
women's shelters. For fun, she plays the electric violin, and puts
together a music playlist for her radio and web shows.
Her Frost Series
consisting of the Bitter Frost Series, The Wolf Fey Series, and the
Fairy Rose Chronicles along with her other book series are being
developed into worldwide MMORPG Games by SEE GLOBAL ENTERTAINMENT, which
is the world's leading game developer known for developing the top
blockbuster films into games.
