Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Hey! I’m a young author who’s written ever since age eight. I’ve written a couple poetry books, over 30 short stories, and have just finished my first novel.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is Fearsome Heth. It started with me wanting to write about my social anxiety, and so I created a group of people that represented fear. It shot of from there and soon I’d created a whole fantasy world!
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Lots of them! Sometimes when I have writer’s block I text my characters (texting myself but putting the contact as my character’s name) and ask them what they want to happen next.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Definitely K.E Ormsbee and her series, The Water and the Wild. She’s my favorite author and her books inspired me from a young age to keep on writing,
What are you working on now?
I’m working on Fearsome Heth’s sequel, Tangled Heth. About 2/3 done!
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Inkitt, definitely.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Don’t worry about how young you are, or if you think your writing is “bad.” Keep practicing. Don’t let others discourage you. If you have a passion to write, don’t stop! You’ll get better with each word.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
“Take a snack break.”
What are you reading now?
Currently reading Lord of the Rings.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Hopefully to write more short stories, get published in magazines, etc.
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?
