Book: Ryder And Piper The Puppy
Q1. Please introduce yourself so that the readers will get to know you better.
My name is Kathy Riggs Duffy. My husband, of thirty-one years, and I live in Milton, Georgia. We live on a farm with horses, goats, dogs, cats, chickens and bees. We raised two wonderful daughters who are now grown and loving life.
Q2. What is your inspiration behind your book “Ryder and Piper the Puppy”?
Children are my greatest inspiration. I believe children who love to read are more successful in school. Better grades and scores in school are less stress on the growing stressors of todays society. Books are also fun for kids and much healthier than electronic devices. I want to help kids enjoy reading and if they learn a little something while doing so, that’s good too.
Q3. What are your hobbies apart from writing?
Ah, so many. I love the sport of dressage. We have a garden with fruits, vegetables and flowers I tend. Photography of animals, beekeeper, decorating and dog training are other hobbies I enjoy.
Q4. Are you planning to write your next book soon?
Yes, I’ve started on the second book in the “Tails from Southern Seasons Farm” series. If all goes well, it will be released in fall of 2022.
Q5. For which age group your book “Ryder and Piper the Puppy” suitable for?
It can be read by ages eight through twelve. However, I believe the earlier you begin to read to children the sooner they begin to associate comfort and enjoyment with books.
Q6. What is your favorite quote?
I do not know where it originated and it may seem almost too simple, but it is, “Live, Laugh, Love”.
Q7. What makes your city special?
The horses make our city special. I bet that is one you have never heard before! We have been called an equestrian community. There are many equestrians and farms in the area. I love living so close to a large city, such as Atlanta, and still having a rural feel.
Q8. What suggestion you want to give to parents of little readers regarding a reading habit?
Read to them a lot before they can read on their own. When they do begin to read be patient. Never get frustrated at the time it takes them to sound out words or if they get it wrong. Disciplining them to much for incorrect reading with crush their joy of it.
Q9. What does literary success look like for you?
Children loving my books and wanting more.
Q10. Lastly, who is your inspiration in life and why?
My daughters inspire me to be the best I can be. I want to teach them that a mother, woman, no matter your age can start new things in life. Be who or what you want to be and don’t let anything, or anyone stand in your way. Life is a gift. Open it every day.
