Interview:
1. When did you first realize you wanted to be a
writer?
Even though I wrote in high school, it wasn’t until college that
I realized that one day I would love to write a book.
2. How long does it take you to write a book?
It all depends on the book.
I’ve written some in 2 weeks and others take months.
3. What is your work schedule like when you're
writing?
When I am writing, which is always, my work schedule consists of
very little sleep while I spend countless hours in front of the computer.
4. What would you say is your interesting writing
quirk?
Maybe not interesting, but I can’t write if I have music on, but
I need to have the TV on.
5. Where do you get your information or ideas for
your books?
The ideas usually just pop in my head. Sometimes it will be a photo I saw or a song
I heard, but mostly they just pop into my head.
Information I get off of google.
If anyone ever looked at my search they’d question me for sure.
6. When did you write your first book and how old
were you?
I wrote my first published book almost two years ago when I was
35. I have an unfinished book that was
truly my first that I started four years ago.
7. What do you like to do when you're not
writing?
When I’m not writing I love being with my family. Doesn’t matter what we are doing as long as
we are together.
8. What does your family think of your writing?
My family is very supportive of my writing.
9. What was one of the most surprising things you
learned in creating your books?
One of the most surprising things I’ve learned is that the
characters truly takeover. You really
have no say when they takeover
.
10. How many books have you written? Which is your
favorite?
I’ve completed 8 books, 6 of which are published right now. Yikes, I don’t think I can pick a favorite. I love them all for different reasons.
11. Do you have any suggestions to help me become
a better writer? If so, what are they?
I think to become a better writing you need to keep writing and
reading. Always keeps you thinking.
12. Do you hear from your readers much? What kinds
of things do they say?
Hearing from my readers is the best feeling in the world. I adore when I get messages from them. They will tell me they loved a book, loved
the characters, like my writing style or simply say they are a fan. I kid you not, best feeling ever.
13. Do you like to create books for adults?
I love to create books for adults. Giving adults an escape from real life for a
while is what it is all about.
14. What do you think makes a good story?
That’s a tough question. Some
stories that I didn’t like I’d like I love and some I thought I’d loved I
didn’t like. I don’t think I can say
what makes a good story, it’s different for each story, I believe.
15. As a child, what did you want to do when you
grew up?
As a child I wanted to be an English teacher.
