1.
When did
you first begin to write?
I wrote my first romance novel at
ten. The main characters went on a date to the beach, it was captivating stuff.
2.
Why do you
write?
Writing fulfills a creative itch and
takes me away from daily life. I get completely enthralled by my characters,
they become apart of my life. I write because if I didn’t, I would go insane
dreaming up stories in my head without giving them proper resolutions.
3.
What was
the inspiration behind your book?
Like every other novel I’ve started
writing, the initial concept behind In Pursuit came to me one night before I
fell asleep. The next morning I woke up and pulled out some pen and paper to
outline the first book in by hand (I had some serious cramps!).
4.
Where do
you write?
Anywhere that has an outlet for my
laptop.
5.
Who is
your writing inspiration?
I don’t have a particular person
that inspires my writing per say, but the names of my characters come from people
that have touched my life.
6.
What
inspires you while you’re writing?
Reading
other indie authors made me decide to take a stab at selling my own work. I’ve
dreamed of being a writer for as long as I can remember, seeing some of my
peers gain success from self publishing has encouraged me to take the plunge.
7.
Where do
you see yourself in five years with your writing?
My dream of dreams is to write as a
full time career. Indie publishing works just fine for me.
No
disrespect to my fellow authors that I admire greatly, but I prefer to write by
myself. I guess that’s just the introvert in me.

TEASER from In Pursuit, coming

“I think I’ve been waiting for you
my entire life,” he admits.
Me
too, this time I respond silently.
“There’s been so much bleakness for
so long but something told me not to give up, something pushed me to keep
going. Some part of me deep down knew that you were waiting for me before I
even met you.”
I wish I could say the same to him,
but truly he was the best gift I never saw coming. Now here I am, feeling
cherished for once in my life. It’s a surreal feeling that I don’t dare to let
go of, at any cost.
