Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
My name is Sienna, and this is my first book!
I am very excited to finally launch this book, first of my series “A Quokka’s Adventures”.
I am a world traveler with a wanderlust spirit.
After travelling the world for a few years, I decided to combine my love for kids and my knowledge about the world to teach children about today’s important values.
I am enthusiastic about educating kids on less known places in the world and all the different animals in it.
When I am not writing, you can find me exploring new places around the world and living new experiences to inspire me for my new books!
I also enjoy doing sports and cooking! Or let’s be honest, I enjoy eating and try new cuisines! 😉
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The Beauty of Diversity!
It is the first book of the series “A Quokka’s adventures”.
My travels and the situation we are in right now inspired this book and the all series!
I want our little ones to grow up knowing more about the world that surrounds us. I would like for them to have the knowledge of different species of animals and less known corners of the world.
But what matters the most, are the values I want to transmit with my books. Diversity, equality, confidence, inclusion, acceptance….
They all are crucial topics in our lives nowadays and I hope my books will help children get familiar with these values in a fun and easy way.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I don’t think so. Just sitting down at my desk with a nice cup of tea. But I need to be in a room alone, with no noises or distractions.
What are you working on now?
I am currently writing the second book of my series. I am very excited for this one! Ally will be in a different place this time and she will meet many new interesting friends. The book will talk about confidence and how we all need to believe in ourselves and help who is in need.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Freebooksy has been working great for me. And of course, Awesome Gang 😉
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Just start! If you have an idea, just start writing about it! Don’t overthink it!
The pig picture might seem scary at first, but if you break it into smaller pieces everything will be easier and manageable.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
“one day or day one – you decide”
What are you reading now?
American Dirt by Jeanine Cummins
What’s next for you as a writer?
I am going to keep writing about Ally’s adventures and educate kids about the world that surrounds us and its important values!
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 some books about how to survive on a desert island 😉
