Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
So far I have only written one book, but my second is underway. I have had poems published and have written short stories since age 10.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Blood Is Thicker, which is book 2 of The Doubled Gate series. The answer to that is the same as for Locked Within: I have no idea…I just sort of pieced bits of different ideas together.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Well I find myself looking at photos on Google of actors who resemble my characters. I’m not sure why, but it seems to help write their personalities.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I’d have to say Stephen King and J.K. Rowling are my biggest influences of all time, and the Harry Potter series really inspired me to take my writing serious at a young age.
What are you working on now?
Blood Is Thicker and a few short stories.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I use The Doubled Gate facebook page to promote mostly everything.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Don’t get too cocky. Don’t assume that right off the bat you’ll get published, because generally that’s not how it works.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Avoid adverbs
What are you reading now?
Nothing other than things for school at the moment…sadly
What’s next for you as a writer?
After Blood Is Thicker I will move on to book 3 Sword of Micheal and hopefully have some short stories published.
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?
Probably IT by Stephen King, the latest book in the Mortal Instruments Series, and Queen of the Damned by Anne Rice
