Describe your writing style.
I’m a bit of a
lyrical writer. I love prose and, the more you read of my writing, the more it
comes out. I love gorgeous description scene and enjoy less playful banter but
deeper dialogues that make you think. I write for adults mainly because my
material is a bit heavier, and I don’t think young adults enjoy it as much as
adults do. I like to take the reader to a new world and introduce them to
characters who are likeable but have their quirks. Character development is
where I spent a lot of my stories, blended in with the action and adventure. If
I pulled a phrase from the book, I want you to know who said what, because you
know the characters oh so very well.
What makes a good story?
Diversity of
characters, they aren’t all serious or airheads or intelligent or smart or male
or female. I truly enjoy characters from different backgrounds and perspective
and I like something to happen. I want the characters, or the world they live
in, to be better off at the end of the story. I want them to learn and grow and
come to a moral revelation whether it’s personal or something that can be
shared with people around the world. I firmly believe that what makes us different
makes us stronger. If you ever watch superhero movies, you’ll notice that all
the superheroes have a different superpower. One might be strong, another can
fly, another is super smart. Being different from each other can make us build
up barriers and group people together based on similarities, or we can build
teams of different people and become stronger together.
What are you passionate about these days?
I’m pretty
passionate about taking action, not just talking or blaming others for the way
things are, but empowering people to take action and make changes that make
life better.
What do you do to unwind and relax?
Reading is a great
way to relax, but I also enjoy binge watching TV shows and drinking red wine.
One of my favorite shows is Doctor Who
- I watch it over and over again. Some of my other favorites includes:
Scandal
How I Met Your Mother
Parks and Recreation
How to Get Away with Murder
Stranger Things
Person of Interest
There are many
more. I have a pretty diverse taste when it comes to shows and movies, but my
favorites are always action-packed.
Traveling is also
one of my favorite ways to relax. Visiting other states, countries and cultures
helps me see things from others perspectives and express empathy towards
others. It also gives me more inspiration for upcoming novels.
What made you want to become an author and
do you feel it was the right decision?
I’ve always been a
storyteller, from music, to blogging to writing. I originally wrote The Four
Worlds Series between the ages of 12-16 and I just could not get enough. Once I
finished the final words of The Five Warriors, I realized I had a bit of an
addiction to finishing things. I love the cycle of writing, releasing a book,
reading what others think and doing it all over again. Each book release is
more exciting, each story is better. There are some people who read for
entertainment, and some people who enjoy musing over the layered messages in my
novels. I think entertainment is a powerful way to make change happen, and often,
the things that entertainment me the most, the things that stick with me, make
the most difference in my life. Becoming an author wasn’t something I
considered or even thought about the way you think about taking a job or what
to study in college. In fact, I don’t have formal education as a writer, it
simply fell into my lap because it’s something I love and something I’ve always
wanted to do. I set out to write the book I wanted to read and, as it turns
out, there are thousands of readers who also want to read the kind of books I
want to write.
Do you see writing as a career?
Oh yes, my goal is
to be a full time writer and spend my time between the US and Europe. I
certainly want to spend more time in unique places, writing. I have a place in
Sandycove, Ireland picked out. I want to
spend some time writing in castles and cathedrals. I also love history and
desire to travel to places where history is rich and old.
If you had to do it all over again, would you
change anything in your latest book?
Did you learn anything during the writing of your
recent book?
If your book was made into a film, who would you
like to play the lead?
Anything specific you want to tell your readers?
