About the Book
Book: Unassailable
Author: K.J. Rowe
Genre: Teen/Young Adult
To be picture perfect on the outside can cause people to think you have it all together on the inside. Which is exactly the case for Hope Meyer.
Stuck in a dead-end job with no vision for her future, parents arguing at home and newly-single under terms she bitterly objects to, Hope puts on a brave front in the face of friends. Only, she’s not as subtle as she thinks. Called out on her pretense by a close friend and, drawn into a mission project that causes her to question everything she’s been led to believe, Hope finds herself floundering.
Until recently, the perfect hair, manicured nails, a wardrobe straight out of a fashion magazine and a handsome suitor by her side had defined her. Now seeing those things as insignificant, and understanding why her boyfriend left, Hope turns to her youth minister for help; with one burning question in mind:
Who was she?
Set on a path of self-discovery, Hope finds her day to day both unraveling and piecing together like a jigsaw as her perception begins to alter.
Will she embrace how God defines her and ultimately learn what true happiness is?
About the Author
Since I could hold a pencil, I’ve be writing.
In primary school, I wrote stories about my pets, my own version of princess stories, a classroom crush…
In high school, I wrote stories about horses, adventures, my sister…
However, as strong as the writing hobby was, I still pursued a career in Veterinary Nursing.
It wasn’t until God intervened and moved me out of the city and into a small country town to be a farmer’s wife, that he resurfaced the writing desire – and gave me the stories. So was born my debut series, each book holding a part of my own testimony, Casts of Silver.
It is my prayer that you enjoy the journey these stories take you on, and that they challenge, encourage and inspire you.

Author Interview
- What was one of the most surprising things you learned in creating your book?
The SHAPE program! I rang a company to get their copyright approval on a spiritual gifts test questionnaire they had done, when, hearing about why I was wanting to use the spiritual gifts questionnaire they got so excited about the concept of the book Unassailable, they told me about a new program they had recently created called SHAPE.
Upon hearing about SHAPE, I realised that it actually was the deeper level I wanted to take the story too, but wasn’t sure how to do it! It was an incredible God lead moment and was incredible to learn about this program – and do it myself!
- Do you hear from your readers much? What kinds of things do they say?
I do! I actually had a reader send me some comic style pictures they’d drawn of some of the characters in the book. Oh, I laughed! Other times I hear back with reviews and some have even emailed me with different concepts that I could weave into the storylines that are things young people face in today’s world. I love interacting with those who read my books!
- How do you overcome writer’s block? Do you have any advice for others in finding their process to overcome it?
I put the book down and walk away. Head out in the garden, or cook up a storm.
It might be hard to walk away when you feel like you should be writing, but the break is sometimes just what your brain needs.
- How did you come up with the title for your book?
I like to title my book series as to the way God sees them, and what they are when He has completed good work He began in them.
- What is the most valuable piece of advice you’ve been given about writing?
To just write it down. It’s not going to be perfect, but get it out and tidy it up later.
