Interview with Author Nina Soden
.
- If you could spend time with a character from your book, whom would it be and what would you do during the day?
- I would probably pick Kim. She is this down-to-earth clothing designer who just likes to enjoy life. I would probably go to the beach during the day and then hit the bar in the evening.
- How did you come up with the name of your book?
- The Beast Within is actually the name of an article or story that one of the characters is writing. There is a serial killer loose, and Sophie is a journalist… or wants to be. She is working on a story about the killer.
- What is your favorite part of this book and why?
- There are two things, first is the structure. It is an interactive novel, which means the reader has to engage in the story other than just reading. I love the idea of bringing the reader into the story and giving them a purpose. The second thing is the inner struggle the main character, Austin, is going through. I can’t really explain because I don’t want to give to much away, but his desperation for survival and his humanity don’t always agree.
- Tell us about your main character, Austin, what makes him tick?
- That is simple, blood. Austin is a fey who survives off of animal and human blood.
- Is there anything specific you want to tell your readers?
- Thank you. As an author, readers are everything. I appreciate all of my readers, whether they read all of my books or just one. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. I hope you enjoy THE BEAST WITHIN as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Nina has always been creative, be it art, theatre, film – anything but singing – you don’t want to hear that! She earned her bachelor’s degree in Theatre and Military Science from Eastern Michigan University where she spent most of her time either on stage, rappelling down buildings, or working one of three jobs. After college she moved to Los Angeles, like so many other actors, in pursuit of her dreams. Nina started writing short stories in 2008. Since then, her dreams have gotten bigger and she likes to think her storytelling ability has gotten better. She has done everything from secretarial work to business development to being the Director of a private preschool. She has fired a M16 machine gun, jumped out of a C130 aircraft, and given birth – TWICE – but she always returns to her art.
She has two completed series available; The Blood Angel Series (Awaken, Beginnings, Revenge, and Pursuit) and the SECTOR C Series (The Chosen, The Hunted, and The Bridge). Her latest novel, an interactive urban fantasy novel, The Beast Within, is a standalone story with eleven (11) possible endings and twenty-six (26) opportunities for the reader to try and change the story. The Beast Within is currently available for pre-order on Amazon and will be available for purchase on March 1, 2021.
Though she’ll forever be a Michigan girl at heart, she now lives in the south with her husband and two beautiful children. If she’s not working on her latest story, you can find her lounging with a good book, playing with her kids, or indulging in her unhealthy addiction to Starbucks coffee.

I am also intrigued by the genre Interactive Urban Fantasy. A new one to me.
Jennifer – When you were a kid, did you ever read a “choose your own adventure” book? This is the same concept. The reader gets to be a part of the story more than just reading. Check it out on Amazon (available March 1st).

I love urban fantasy so I am curious about Interactive version.
Hi Kimberly,
I hope you pick up a copy and let me know what you think after you read it. Writing an interactive novel was crazy fun… with 11 endings, it kept me on my toes. lol
Nina
Sounds like a great book! The cover is cool, too!

Thank you Carolsue!!! I hope you’ll pick up a copy.
The plot seems a bit far fetched, though interesting, I must say.
Far fetched… Ok, sure, it is urban fantasy. LOL 🙂
I think, if you like urban fantasy, you might like it. But, as an author I am well aware not every book is for every reader. 🙂
Nina
I like the interactive part!
Hi Serge – Thank you. The interactive aspect of this book was crazy hard to plot, but so much fun too. I’m excited to see what readers think of it and which storyline they like best.
