1) What inspired you to write?
I’m always spinning a story. I’m always thinking of some cool setting, or plot. I didn’t think I could do it as a career, and it never really crossed my mind until I hit my early 30’s when I realized that I had always been writing. In high school, and university I was always that girl that looked forward to essays.
2) Are you a reader? What are some of your favorites?
Yes, I love to read. My favorite books are Moll Flanders by Daniel Dafoe, and Brave New World, but I also very much enjoyed The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, and Harry Potter, Pride and Prejudice just to name a few.
3) What is your newest work, and what is going to happen in the future?
My latest novel is She Runs With Wolves. I plan to release a sequel which I’m currently outlining at the moment and since I’ve dubbed myself the Slow Writer I’m not sure exactly when it will be release. I hope in the following year.
4) Do you have advice or tips for Indie Authors?
Your first draft is not your book. It’s usually the beginning of several edits, and the book might change drastically. I know mine did very much. You think because all your ideas have been committed to paper that you’re in the final stretch, but the truth is you’re just starting so don’t get discouraged, and don’t give up. Writing is 20% creation and 80% refining and editing.
5) What influenced you as a writer?
Other books, authors, films, and television series. As Quentin Tarantino said during a 1994 interview with Empire magazine, “I steal from every single movie ever made.”
I borrow, bend, twist ideas from works I admire and from real life, places I’ve been and people I’ve encountered. Everything is fair game.
