Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I have written five books, and I am currently writing the sixth one.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Drachenburg School for the Supernaturals was inspired alot by Harry Potter, as well as a desire to write about more diversified characters than typically found in YA/teen bestsellers.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Yes.
When I want to write, I write. It does not matter if I am on a train, plane, lunch break, or 3:00am in the morning. When the urge to write kicks in, there is nothing I can do to stop it. Absolutely nothing.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I have many different writers I look up to.
My books were inspired by J.K. Rowlings ability to write in detail on her fantasy world, Elizabeth Gaskell’s ability to spin society and politics to a good storyline, Enid Blytons simplicity in creating engrossing but light story lines, and most recently- Susan Ees ability to web a story that fully arrests all your attention.
What are you working on now?
Drachenburg School for the Supernaturals Book 3
