Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a 26 year old with an overactive imagination and a great obsession with Vampires and all things that go bump in the night. In my fantastical world with my writing, I have come to appreciate the inevitable longevity of that which is immortal, like how passionate love would be and how pain would endure endlessly.
To date i have One book Published, A Blood Life.
I am in the process of writing the second book and intend to have at least ten of the short books dedicated to the series.
I have decided to share with you my darkest thoughts and always welcome any comments and criticism. I believe that we all have stories to share and I hope you will enjoy one of mine.
As “A Blood Life” is my first published book, I hope that it intrigues you as much as it did the same for me when I envisioned it.
Of the many characters Saskia has been over the years, I believe that this story of hers needs to be shared.
I hope you enjoy the story enough to join me as we explore the challenges of our lives and as Saskia finds both herself and her destiny.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
A Blood Life
A Blood life is inspired by every Vampire movie ever Made.
as well as several short stories i had trashed before completing when i was a teen ager.
A Lot of my stories are inspired by real life twisted by fantasy obsesions.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
My writing habits are formed as i grow as a writer.
Over the years i have struggled with poor grammar and have slowly overcome each struggle.
To dat my signature would be Caps in random places.

And many more
What are you working on now?
I am currently working on the second book of A blood life and the story tests the friendship as they split up and learn to plan slowly and more accurately.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
i have the most faith in Lulu.
They have published my E book and also made it available on IBooks.
i find they give all that a writer needs and their sight is so well put together no support is needed.
Yet when you do struggle they are very helpful
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Over the years i have failed many times.
if you are a true writer you will find the story that you just have to tell and when that happens then you will wright with ease.
I have learned that if you are meant to tell a story and dedicate yourself to writing it, that you will finish it even if it takes years of starting over to find your line.
Research as you get an idea. write as you find the words.
Even if you only wright on sentence a day.
Keep at it.
Keep notes, read what you have till you can recite it as you have written it.
Live life, when you isolate yourself the mind can shut down. Focus becomes torture. Use the hard times to harvest emotional scenes and the joy to brighten the story.
Always remember the twist.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Life is hard, But you are strong.
When you get lemons make lemonade. Maybe add vodka.
this meaning that Manners, Respect, Hard work and dedication. Combined with Honesty will get you far in life. So keep at it and don’t give up. Follow your heart but guide the path with your mind.
If you can think it you can do it.
What are you reading now?
As i am not a reader i currently have no books that i am reading
But the stories i follow at this point are
Vampire Diaries,
Bones,
The Originals,
Lie to me,
Ncis,
What’s next for you as a writer?
I intend to grow A blood life to at least ten books.
If however the story dies before or i reach that goal.
I would like to have a story in a Crime and mystery genre.
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?
Books that i could not live without
would be
My – Bible
my – book of Macbeth works.
my – own book A blood life
