Tell us a
little about yourself.
I am a YA Urban Fantasy Author and my Series:
The Gargoyle Redemption Trilogy released on September 25th!
·
What type
of books/stories do you write?
I have written about vampires, gargoyle
shifters, aliens, Angels and Fallen Angels, a game book, and a female wrestling
book so far.
·
What does
the start of a project look like for you? (Where do your ideas come from, what
prep work do you do before starting a new project, any writing rituals, planner
or pantser, etc.?)
I write down all the names of characters I
want to use and the story outline. My ideas come from whatever pops into my
head at that particular moment in time and I write it down before I forget it.
I start writing the book after I get the characters into place as I picture
them in my mind. No, I just sit at the computer and start writing away.
·
What did
your path to publication look like?
It’s a hot mess! I have found the worst
publishers who are out there, excluding a couple. It’s been a struggle for me
to have to refind my audience after signing with Foundations, LLC, who is
amazing by the way! I’m hoping this time around my books will finally reach the
right audience and will be on the Best Sellers list one day soon!
·
Is there
anything that you’ve learned through the process that you wish you’d known at
the beginning?
Gosh yes! Not to sign with any publisher who
is super pushy and ends up treating you badly to the point where doing what I
love isn’t fun anymore.
·
Do you have
any tips/tricks/resources you’d like to share with other writers?
Just keep writing and you will find the right
publisher for your work one day. Never give up on that!
·
What part
of the writing process do you find most exciting?
Starting a new series is always exciting for
me because I have fresh characters to show everyone who reads and enjoys my
work in the future. It’s an awesome feeling inside!
·
What part
of the writing process do you find most challenging?
Right now it has to be making a grid for my new
series. I just haven’t figured out why I can’t do something so easy. That is
challenging for me.
·
Any new
work from you we should be watching for?
Absolutely! I have 4 new book series to look
for in the future: My Fallen Angels series, my Sports Fiction series, My Alien
series and my Game book series are all going to be unique and fresh from me!
·
What’s
one piece of advice you’d give new writers?
Keep writing. No matter how long it takes to
finish writing that first book, keep at it. You will get there. I promise.
