Kyle Chais Has Big Plans For Future!

After the release of his debut novel Nameless earlier this year, Kyle Chais has already begun work on his next project. Let’s just say he is planning on going head-to-head with Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight series. Chais gives me the low-down on what some of those future plans may be and the big changes he is gearing up for.

Chais is currently studying psychology at Medgar Evers College, but plans to transfer to Hunter College to continue with his education. He has been accepted into Hunter’s social work program and would also begin learning Japanese. Chais is not only talented with a pen, but also with languages, he picked up Russian fairly quick after his mother began learning to speak the language last year. His interest in Japanese, may stem from his love of Asian animation and art, especially their graphic novels—something he hopes to break into with future novels. Speaking of future books…

Chais’ next project is a fantasy Y.A. series, dubbed GaGa Land. The series is centered on two teen lovers, Romeo and Bella, who are forced apart in the fantasy realm, GaGa Land. The two lovers will face many dangers, and must battle against the forces wanting to keep them apart. Chais aimed towards writing Y.A. series that is more in tune with kids today, and reveals some of his plan when saying, “I’m going to revamp the Y.A. fiction world, starting with GaGa Land!” When speaking to him about the series, he explained the book will be a satire about the Twilight series but will be its own story. There will be no vampires, werewolves, angels, or Team Edward vs. Team Jacob. The characters in his new series will each have their own unique physical appearance, quirky personality, and magical powers. Chais was kind enough to let me read a bit of his new book and he delivers once again, especially with his dialogue, and the lifelike way people interact with one another even in a fantasy world. There is no release date yet, but the book has been given the green light by Karen Hunter from Karen Hunter Publishing. He has been writing up a storm in order to fulfill his goal of two-to-three book releases per year for the series. With Chais’ proven ability to make fantasy feel like reality, this new series promises readers even more excitement, romance, adventure and fun, in a fantasy realm that makes you feel as though you fell into a Tim Burton dream. Knowing Chais, he will deliver all that and more in this new series!
