Christine Lindsay here:  

Welcome, Hunters! I'm pleased to introduce R.J. Larson at this stop. Kacy Barnett-Gramckow has been a CAN member since the organization was founded. Kacy is the author of The Genesis Trilogy for Moody Publishers, and Dawnlight, from Elk Lake Publishers. Kacy also writes Biblical fantasy as R. J. Larson. She and her husband live in Colorado. Visit the effervescent Kacy at her website Facebook, Twitter,  Pinterest, and Goodreads and become a fan.


I Don’t Know Who I am:

When I started my writing career, I knew that my name, Kacy Barnett-Gramckow presented a authorly hurdle. 

As a child, I’d always had to spell ‘Kacy’ because as simple as my name is, Kacy has endless variations, and even my own relatives forget its proper spelling. Later, when I married my adorable husband, I added ‘Gramckow’ to the mix, guaranteeing serious name confusion for my writing future. 

When Moody Publishers signed me on to write The Genesis Trilogy, the Moody editors—brave souls!—took on my full name, Kacy Barnett-Gramckow, for The Heavens Before, a Biblical novel based on the Genesis account of Noah’s Flood. 

Later, however, when I wrote my Biblical fantasy Prophet, which is inspired by the prophets Jeremiah and Ezekiel, Bethany House Publishers asked me to consider a pen name. Not because Kacy Barnett-Gramckow is the emcee-stumping moniker that it is, but because Bethany House wanted to separate my Biblical fantasy novels from my usual Biblical fiction. 
 
After much deliberation, I combined two beloved family names and signed on with Bethany House as Biblical fantasy author, R. J. Larson. 

This spring, I face a new naming challenge: Elk Lake Publishers requested my Biblical speculative fiction manuscript, Dawnlight, based on Matthew 27:52-53.  Elk Lake asked, “Who do you want to be?”

I said, “We don’t know…” 

Right now, the cover for Dawnlight is in the planning stages, and I’m truly stumped. I don’t know who I am for this one. 


What do you think?    . . .  Kacy or R. J.?


Christine Lindsay here again:  Thank you, Kacy, and thank you, Readers/Hunters. Ready to continue?
