Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’ve been writing since I was little; I started with short stories and moved on to Novels; I am not so sure how many books I’ve written because I’ve written so many. I have about 4 books published: a Mystery, a children’s story and two books from my most recent series
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The latest book that I’ve published is called: “The Skeleton Key” it is the second installment in my series “Pirates- The Lost Cove” which I have been working on for a while now; it was inspired when I was cleaning my room one day and I was listening to Disney’s “A pirates life for me” which is really weird considering that I have not seen any of the “Pirates of the Caribbean” movies
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Um, I write until my eyes blur, I think that’s about it
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Rick Riordan; I like him because he funny, I feel like my books are similar to his
What are you working on now?
the third installment in my “Pirates- The Lost Cove” series which is called “Journey to the RedSkull’s Cove” and also a Fantasy/ Romance standalone novel called: “Speechless”
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I guess word of mouth is my best method and Instagram is my best website
Do you have any advice for new authors?
I consider myself to be a new author; but I would say, write what makes you happy, and write the book that you want to read; people aren’t always going to like what you write, but if you like then that’s all that matters
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
“If there’s a book you want to read but it hasn’t been written yet, write it yourself” by Toni Morrison
What are you reading now?
Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson
What’s next for you as a writer?
Hopefully a book launch party in October; and I’d love to see my book turned into a mini series
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
I think I would take my Pirates- The Lost Cove series lol; or Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass
