The female protagonist in North Star Angel is Mariah Rowland. She’s an eighteen-year-old college freshman who is still figuring things out. She’s a perfectionist who assumed she would excel at college the way she did in high school, but she soon learns that things don’t come as easily to her as they did in the past. She doesn’t know what to do now that she feels like a failure and that’s what motivates her to seek out the familiar. The problem is, the familiar is not-so-familiar anymore. She spends the duration of the story trying to find her footing and learning everything is not what it seems.

- What made you want to become an author and do you feel it was the right decision?
Absolutely the right decision. I can’t pinpoint my desire to become an author to one thing other than that I love telling stories. It’s always been who I am no matter the age I am or the phase of life I’m in. What I write changes, but my desire to write will always be there. As an author, I feel so fortunate to be able to publish my books and entertain readers.
- A day in the life of the author?
I’m a part-time author who juggles author duties with my main career and school, but on a day I’m able to devote 100% of my time to author stuff, I usually start off by checking my author email. After I sort through those, I move onto social media. I’m not big on social media, to be completely honest. I didn’t even have social media before becoming an indie author, but I still try to check mine daily. Once I’m through with that, I check any ads I’m running for my books to see how they’re performing. I usually don’t start writing until late morning. Most of the time I don’t get many words down, because I’m much more creative at night. I usually save the afternoon for any editing I need to do. At night, I write. I get down probably 80% of my writing between the hours of 7 p.m. and 1 a.m.
- The advice they would give new authors?
Never compare yourself to others. Everyone’s author journey
is different.
Ilove how the cover was done. It is so original and eye catching.
