What do you wish you’d known before you were published?

I wish I had known that self publishing was available sooner. I spent so much time anxious about it. If I had known I could do it myself then I wouldn’t have worried.

What are your favorite books in your genre?

I write in multiple genres. My favorite kid’s book is probably Goodnight Moon By Margaret Wise. My favorite poetry is I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings By Maya Angelou. My favorite horror novel is Salem’s Lot By Steven King. My favorite YA book is Alanna the first adventure by Tamora Pierce.

What character in your book are you least likely to get along with?

In Death of Neverland my character of Wendy. She just felt like someone I could never get along with. In the Current one I am writing….Well I think that Lizzie would be the one who would grate on me the most. She is all brains and logic. In my kid’s book there was no character that I did not like.

What do you love most about the writing process?

Seeing the story evolve. I tend to not plan my stories. I read as I write. So I get to see where the stories are going that way.

How do you think you’ve evolved creatively?

I get that many people are always evolving in their creativity, and that writing helps it to do so. For me though writing has always been a part of me. Publishing however has allowed me to free myself to allow all of my creativity to flow.

What’s your favorite kind of cookie and why?

Peanut butter kisses. My mom used to make them when I was a child. It was something that felt like we were closer when it was done.

Any unusual talents or hobbies?

Batman because Spiderman is more impulsive.
