Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Hi! I’ve been writing forever but decided to start publishing this year. I have published two books, Borrowed Magic, and Magic and Other Illusions.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Magic and Other Illusions. It is inspired by Greek mythology, and all the secondary characters follow story arcs of the Greek gods.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I have many hobbies, and usually hit one intensely for 3-6 months and then move onto something else. My top two are writing and sewing, but I also garden.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
So many! I love Jane Austen, J.R.R. Tolkien, and C.S. Lewis.
What are you working on now?
A short story, and plotting my next book in the Retelling series.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I am a brand new baby author and am wondering blindly.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Start viewing criticism as helpful. I’ve gotten a lot of advice that I didn’t like, some of it was worthless, and some of it made my writing better.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Nothing good happens after midnight. It’s definitely true with my writing.
What are you reading now?
“The Faithful Executioner,” by Joel F. Harrington
What’s next for you as a writer?
Building my backlog
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?
The Bible, The Lord of the Rings (it’s one book in six parts, really!), Pride and Prejudice, Kristen Lavransdatter.
