Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m 28 years old and His #1 Fan is my first book published, but I’ve been writing since I was around 7 years old. Book 2 is already in the works as well!
Other than writing I love video games (Mass Effect and Baldur’s Gate 3 are my favorites!) and crafting.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
His #1 Fan was born from my desire to see more short submissive men in my romance novels.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I like a fresh document whenever I write. Keeps me from getting bogged down with details.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Jodi Picoult has definitely influenced me. (There is a scene in my book that only exists because of all the Picoult books I’ve read!) BB Easton, HD Carlton (The Queen of dark romance), these are just a few lol
What are you working on now?
Book 2 (another standalone), is an age gap romance that takes place in a small town. It’ll explore religious trauma and addiction.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
It takes a little bit of everything and a lot of hard work. TikTok, book newsletters, and reviewers are going to be your best friend.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Find your process. Read up on others’ and try them out. Eventually you’ll build your own Frankenstein’s monster that works for you! Try different outlines, try writing sprints, etc.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Write what you want to read. I wanted more variety in characters, so I wrote that!
What are you reading now?
Keeping 13 by Chloe Walsh (5 star read)
What’s next for you as a writer?
Book 2!
What is your favorite book of all time?
White Fang and Call of the Wild by Jack London. I love the mirrored stories.
