Why do you write?
I write to escape. I know some writers who use the art to understand
and cope with reality, but for me it is all about being in a place you could
not otherwise be in. I write to entertain!
What do you do to prepare before you actually
begin writing? Music, tea, coffee, etc.?
Make
sure my 3 kids are occupied/sleeping! That’s about the only thing I require
before sitting down to write.
Do you have a writing routine/schedule?
I wish I did, but with my children ages 3,
2, and 3 months, I really just have to take the time I can get.
What’s your favorite part of the creative
process?
I think my favorite part of
creating things with words is when you just know
what you have written is awesome. As soon as it goes on the paper, you re-read
it, sit back, and go, “Oh yeah. I rock.” It’s the best when the creative
process gives you something to be proud of.
What is the book that you are promoting?
I am promoting my Young Adult novel, Lunula.
Who is your favorite character from your novel?
I think Gavin is my favorite character. He
reminds me of my younger brother.
Why do you write for the Young Adult audience?
I think I tend to write young adult books
because, first of all, they are clean. I am a big supporter of media that
portray growing and love without all the graphic, gory details. Also, young
adult stories are all about the newness of challenges, and I think that is fun
to write about.
Any advice for aspiring authors who would like
to be published?
Once you have finished
your work, and are contemplating publishing, edit meticulously! Edit until it
cannot be edited anymore, and then go over it just one more time for good
measure. Publishers like to see clean, well-edited work. Have a third party
help you if you can.
Is there anything that you are working on
currently that we can be expecting?
Yes,
the sequel to Lunula should be
finished this year
If
you stranded on an island and you can only bring 3 books and one CD, what would
you bring and why?
My scriptures, The High King by Lloyd Alexander, and Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. The
CD I would take would probably be Josh Groban’s “Closer.”
