How did you get interested in writing this particular genre (historical novels, mysteries, sci-fi, children’s books, etc.)?

I’m currently writing YA, Coming of age books that are based around a certain issue. I’m really enjoying writing in this genre because it helps with healing from my own teenage years. I want to shed light on these issues that teenagers face and how they can get through it.

What’s a typical working day like for you? When and where do you write? Do you set a daily writing goal?

I work full time and write in the mornings before work. I’m a morning person and find this time is the most productive for me. I set an hour in the morning before work and a hour after work. I set myself a goal for how many chapters I’d like to write but I’m pretty open to it. I set weekly goals then break it down into daily ones.

Do you have a new book in the making and if so, what’s the name of your upcoming book?

Why did you choose to write in your genre? If you write in more than one, how do you balance them?

I have many book ideas written down ready to be written. When I finish a book I’ll look through my list and pick whichever one is talking to me. Which characters are screaming to be written.

Of all the characters you have created, which is your favourite and why?

They all hold a special place in my heart, I can’t pick a favourite.
