1. Can you tell me something about yourself?

2. What inspired you to write? 
Honestly I just had a scene playing over and over on an endless loop and it wouldn't go away until I wrote it down

3. One of main character commits a crime.  Describe how and why.
Solo, he would break into the Rider's castle and take down anyone that got in his way while he heads to the dungeons. Why? Well to save the not-so-Damsel-in-distress Tamu, whom he has a crush on

4. If you could have any one of your characters become a real person, who would it be and what would you do?
Why Solo of course! He's the perfect of everything except when it comes to his anger, he can get pretty angry. He's like Westley from The Princess Bride. I'd marry him in a heart beat
