Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a newly starting self-publishing author. I recently published one romance novel, and I am just slowly implementing myself into the world of writing.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The book is called Fight for Me, and the story was inspired by my own difficult experiences and attempts to find myself after a trauma in the face of a new love. My own happy ending showed me that everyone can get a second chance from life.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I’m quite a disorganized person and I’m easily knocked out of my rhythm, so I often close my mind to reality and it can then be hard to reach me once I cross that threshold.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
“Here’s to Falling” by Christine Zolendz is a book that will stay with me forever. I really enjoy reading books by authors like Lauren Gilley, Lisa Helen Gray, and Patricia Briggs.
What are you working on now?
I am currently working on the Fight for Me sequel, and in the meantime I am also writing a young adult fantasy novel.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
It’s hard to say, because at the moment I’m just being introduced to ways of promoting my book and trying different things.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Be brave, believe in yourself and write! And don’t be afraid of receiving criticism, it’s good for you.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Don’t stress over things that are beyond your control.
What are you reading now?
“The Wild Charge” by Lauren Gilley
What’s next for you as a writer?
I would like to continue my work with the characters I created in “Fight for Me”. I also dream of creating a fantasy trilogy, but there is still a long way to go.
What is your favorite book of all time?
This will certainly sound very basic but I love the Harry Potter series that I grew up on.
