Q & A with Kaelyn Ross

Question: How did you come up with the idea for the Tribe series?

Kaelyn: I’ve always loved dystopian and sci-fi stories that are full of twists and turns, surprises, suspense, and mystery, so it seemed like a no-brainer to combine all those elements into a thrilling adventure with an exciting female lead.

Q: Is Tribe for kids only?

Kaelyn: Not at all. There are some very adult themes in Tribe, but I wanted to write a story that anyone of any age can enjoy. The heroine is a sixteen-year-old girl who lives a life that, at times, seems sheltered to those of us in the modern world. But at the same time, the traditions of her people forces her to do things that would knock most of us flat.

Q: What other works inspired you to write Tribe?

Kaelyn: I really enjoy what The Hunger Games, Divergent, and The Maze Runner provided for those of us who enjoy the young adult market, so it seemed natural to write Tribe.

Q: What sets Tribe apart from the books you mentioned?

Kaelyn: The main difference with Tribe is the underlying thread of mystery that runs through the entire series about what really happened to Kestrel’s world and why it happened—and I’m not giving that secret away until the last book :)

Q: Why did you choose to serialize Tribe?

Kaelyn: When I started thinking about Tribe, I knew it was going to be a big, deeply layered saga that would rip Kestrel Stoneheart away from her rather primitive lifestyle and force her to confront a secret and forbidden world that challenges everything she knows and believes. For me, a series of mini-adventures is the best way to gradually reveal things that neither Kestrel nor the reader would’ve ever guessed at the beginning. And, of course, that means leading up to a grand finale that keeps you glued to the edge of your seat.

Q: Can readers get the whole series in one place?

Kaelyn: Absolutely! Tribe: The Complete Saga (parts 1-5) is the best way for those who want to fully immerse themselves in Kestrel’s world, and also to save a bit of money while they’re at it!

Q: Is there anything you want to say to your readers?

Kaelyn: You bet! I love you guys! Thank you so much for reading!
