Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Hello. My name is Loreal Harris. My pen name is known as Miss Lore. I am currently in college studying Early Childhood Education. Along with writing, my goal is to be a Pre-Kindergarten teacher because I love children, and helping them learn. I have written The Kindergarten Detectives series since I was 13. I have written 7 stories about the main cast, and they are in the rewriting stage.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest story is called The Kindergarten Detectives and the Missing Snacks. I have found inspiration from the first time I created the characters as well as the stories themselves. While I was cleaning one day, I found my old notebook with most of my drawings in it.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Well…I wouldn’t say unusual. I usually would listen to musical pieces from my favorite animes, such as Sailor Moon, Tokyo Mew Mew, etc. Whenever I listen to those pieces, I would imagine my characters in action scenes.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
If anyone, I would have to say Naoko Takeuchi. Her Sailor Moon comics. as well as the television show, were a childhood influence. I learned my drawing style from her characters as well as various cartoon characters.
What are you working on now?
I am currently working on The Kindergarten Detectives book two.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
If anything, I would have to say asking your friends to help spread the word about your book as well as posting pictures of your book on the website yourself.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
You must never give up on your stories. Promotion takes time…A LOT of time.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
With God, all things are possible IF you believe. If it haven’t been for the Lord, my Kindergarten Detectives would never exist.
What are you reading now?
I am currently reading A Series of Unfortunate Events Book 6: The Ersatz Elevator. I have to hand it to Lemony Snicket, he and his characters in that story are geniuses!
What’s next for you as a writer?
I have a drawing pad full of new characters from the past two years, and I’m currently writing stories about them alongside my Kindergarten Detectives 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 would bring Matilda, Treasure Island, Anne of Green Gables, and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.
