Interview with Kimberly Cole, Author of THE VISION OF THE QUEST #interview

 

“Melanie ran out of matches. She could no longer stand beside Liana but behind her. She realized the tunnel was growing smaller when her hand hit the wall. She felt the cold, hard rock. The young girl yelled out in absolute fear, “We’re going to die in here!” Frightened, she threw her arms around the back of Liana’s curvy waist things looked hopeless. Liana had her doubts and wondered whether they would make it out of there. She whispered in fear. “What would become of my children” ?  Her hopes were beginning to diminish.”

-- From The Vision of the Quest by Kimberly Cole

Book Description

 

Liana, a widowed mother of Alicia and Emily, is in a desperate situation. After her car breaks down on a desolate road, she feels lucky to have her daughter’s friend Roger with them. As they begin a trek to seek help, Liana has no idea that she, her daughters, and Roger are all about to embark on the adventure of their lives. After the group finally reaches the vast doors of a mansion in the middle of nowhere, they are greeted by an eerie butler, who leads them to Sir Bronze Pierce, the master of the mansion who soon captivates Liana with his charming personality. Roger and the rest of the group are slowly drawn, one-by-one, through a portal into a different time, where they are soon thrust into a battle with a wicked warlord whose ultimate goal is complete domination. It is up to Alicia, Roger, and Emily to bring back harmony and peace to these strange kingdoms. As the three young people seek the help of the king’s court — a loyal Griffin, a powerhouse rock man, and other valiant warriors– they must unite against the forces of a warlord intent on destroying anyone who stands in his way.

Interview

Thank you so much for joining us! Can you share a story about what brought you to this particular career path?

My daughter spoke the first few words of this fantasy story, which later became a reality through The Vision of the Quest. She laid the foundation for what was to come, and it has been an incredible journey experiencing, living, and witnessing it all unfold.

 

Can you share the most interesting story that occurred to you in the course of your career?

The birth and creation of The Vision of the Quest kept me going like the Energizer Bunny, driving me forward as this unknown story came to life on the pages. It inspired me throughout the process, and I hope it will do the same for many others.

 

What was the biggest challenge you faced in your journey to becoming an author?

Having the confidence in myself to write and bring The Vision of the Quest to life.

 

What is the main empowering lesson you want your readers to take away after finishing your book?

All things are possible for those who believe in their vision and pursue their dreams. Walt Disney, for example, had a vision as he sat in an empty field, imagining parks that didn’t yet exist. Amazingly, those parks are now a reality and have brought joy to countless families for generations.

 

What is the one habit you believe contributed the most to you becoming a great writer?

I would have to say perseverance, as life always has a way of throwing challenges at us. But I can honestly say I had fought the good fight and have kept the faith until I cross the finish line.

 

You are a person of enormous influence. If you could start a movement that would bring the most amount of good to the most amount of people, what would that be?

More and more stories that will touch hearts—it's a gift to have stories, but a calling to bring people together in unity to help others. Isn't that what life is all about?

My heart's desire is to build orphanages and get as many children off the streets as possible, rescuing them from the horrors of the sex trade. I want my voice to be a call for others to realize that we must take a stand and do what's right, becoming a voice for those who have none!
