INTERVIEW

• A common misconception entwined with authors is that they are socially inept, how true is that?

I don't think it's true at all. Although authors are thought of to always be in their head, their head, that doesn't mean that they are socially awkward.

• Do all authors have to be grammar Nazis?

No! I think it depends on your style of writing and how stickler you are about it.

• If you could have been the original author of any book, what would it have been and why?

Maybe Harry Potter? There was so much thought and detail that went into that series. 

• What makes this particular genre you are involved in so special?

I think being a children's book author is rewarding and exciting because I am happy to pass down love and positivity to the younger generations.

• How important is research to you when writing a book?

It depends on what kind of book/novel you are writing. I think that great novels can be based off of personal experience and your imagination alone.

• What works best for you: Typewriters, fountain pen, dictate, computer or longhand?

I like using pen and ink. There's nothing like putting things down on paper yourself.

• When did it dawn upon you that you wanted to be a writer?

I think I always knew, even as a child that my future career would revolve around writing somehow. I ended up going to school for journalism and decided to create a children's book in my spare time. Writing is everywhere around me!

• What inspires you to write?

Experiencing life and processing everything going on around me, and everything happening to me.
