Interview
What is the hardest part of writing
your books?
The hardest part of writing
books is figuring out the emotional arch of my characters.
What songs are most played on your
Ipod?
Each time I start writing a
new book, I choose a popular song that embodies the emotional experience of the
character for which I am writing. For example, I listened to People Like Us by Kelly Clarkson over
and over when I was writing the scenes from DiSemblance from Boston’s
perspective. I chose this song because it captures the feeling of fighting for
everything good in your life. I applaud Boston’s guts and courage when dealing
with the junk that comes from having an alcoholic mother.
Do you have critique partners or
beta readers?
I use both critique partners
and beta readers. I believe the revision process is very important.
What book are you reading now?
I finished reading, Angelfall by Susan Ee and loved it!
How did you start your writing
career?
I was
accepted into the Masters in Writing Degree Program at University of Anchorage
Alaska.
DiSemblance
is the first book in the Holoquest Fantasy Series. I barely released the second
book in the Holoquest Fantasy Series, Boston’s Quest. I am currently working on the third book in the
series.
I am a professional writer with a bachelor's degree in creative writing and a minor in grammar. I have also attended several years of classes and workshops in screenplay writing at the Los Angeles Screenplay writer's Expo.
I love suspenseful, action-adventures and clean, young adult, romance stories. I was born and raised in a small town in Idaho. I am the second out of six children. When I was in my early 20's my mother was killed by a drunk driver. This one incident drastically changed my life. I have always had a passion for reading and writing fiction. Owing to a life long struggle with Dyslexia, early teachers discouraged me from pursuing a career in writing.
As I have spent over twenty-five years transforming my language disabilities into professional writing skills, God has honed my insatiable passion into an incredible vision.
