Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
My name is Lotte Jean Elliott and I have written two fiction novels aimed at the YA audience and a poetry book.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My last book is titled THE MONSTERS CLUB and it’s a deep look into youth psychopathy and feeling the need to conform to society.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I tend not to outline. I always feel constrained when doing so and have yet to be able to outline successfully!
What authors, or books have influenced you?
The author that got me into both reading and writing was a paranormal writer called L. J. Smith. Her books truly inspired my as a child to pick up a pen and write up my own universes!
What are you working on now?
I’m working on another YA thriller based on a Shakespeare play called the Taming of the Shrew.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
To always keep writing. As generic as that statement is it truly is the most important thing to grow as a writer!
What are you reading now?
I’m reading Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I want to continue to grow, try out new genres and always expand my abilities by trying different things, scenes and characters.
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?
