Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I love to write because I love to read. I love reading for how it can carry you away into the middle of the night, turning page after page until you find out what happens next. For that sensation of letting your eyes adjust to reality as you peel them away from your book. For how every thought after The End echoes in your thoughts in the voice of the protagonist. For magic. For other worlds. For love and loss and friendship and what it means to come together, to fight for something. I dream of writing stories like that, so I put pen to paper and try to write them.
I write Young Adult Fantasy. The Angel’s Calling is a prequel to the Daughter of the Phoenix series, and The Third Sun is book one in the series. I’m currently working on book two, The Eternal Dusk.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The Third Sun: Daughter of the Phoenix Book One
In Ohinyan, a world parallel to Earth, the sun is dying and ancient darkness is trying to escape from its prison. The title comes from a conversation amongst a witch coven, about the dying sun, and the new one.
The Daughter of the Phoenix series is a Young Adult Portal Fantasy series, based on Earth and the parallel world of Ohinyan. It’s full of angels, witches, shapeshifters, elemental magic and more.
I’d like to tell you something wonderful and profound inspired the story – but I’ve always had a head full of stories, and this was just one of them.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
You’ll often find me huddled in multiple scarves, surrounded by library books and notepads.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Philip Pullman, Neil Gaiman and Peter S Beagle.
What are you working on now?
The Eternal Dusk: Daughter of the Phoenix Book Two
Tales of Ohinyan: a Daughter of the Phoenix Companion Guide
and a few other projects 🙂
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Just write! 50 words, 100 words, just write as often as you can. Setting a timer for 15 minutes helps tremendously when you need to get laser focused.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Best writing advice: creativity is a muscle that atrophies if unused. Writing as often as you can will prevent that.
What are you reading now?
A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab
What’s next for you as a writer?
Complete this series, and then get started on the next two series, all connected to the world of Ohinyan.
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?
Oh wow, too difficult to decide. I’d have a solar charger for my kindle 🙂
