1 what would you do, if you received a publishing deal?

I've never really wanted to be professionally published. I was in poetry when I was younger. But I have the fear of never being good enough, so I probably would be miserable.

 2 what is your favorite holiday and why?

Thanksgiving. So much food!

 3 what's your favorite movie? 

Dead Poet's society

4 what's your daily writing routine?

I write a couple of hours in the morning on Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. I work ten hours a day three days a week and eight hours a day another three days. Writing time is difficult to come by

 5 what do you enjoy most of Wattpad? 

I love when I get a reader who loves the book and comments on all their favorite moments in a chapter.

6 what's one tip you'd give a newcomer? 

To just write a story you love and not worry about everything else.

7 how would you spend a rainy day?

At work. 

 8 what's your dream vacation? 

New Zealand 

9 if you could gain advice from your favorite author, who would you choose and what would you ask? 

I did receive advice from one of my favorite authors about a month ago, actually. Jacquelyn Mitchard came into town and gave the great advice of looking at newspaper articles for plot inspiration.

10 Are you still surprised when you gain a new vote, follower or comment? 

I'm still damn ecstatic when I get a new read and vote and feel like I'm stalking them from chapter to chapter as they read. Follows I think I've gotten more used to. I'm still excited about them, but quite a bit of them come from my guide book or my advice in the threads.

11 what's a song you enjoy? Who is the artist? 

Music I love most of it from the mid nineties. I was a huge fan of David Gray.


Request time!

If I were to suggest one of my books, it would be 'Life, Love And A little Coffee'. It's been surprisingly well received and all the critics I hired for the first couple of chapters have stuck around throughout the whole writing process because they've been enjoying the book and like to help with it. I guess my selling point would be that I've studied the trope I write very thoroughly and make it a point to bring a fresh take to it. I write characters first, plot second, so it's very much a character driven book and most of my current readers comment on the natural chemistry and natural dialog between the characters. There is a fairly large age difference between the two characters, but the book focuses on their friendship so far, rather than their romance. It will be a romance eventually, but I like to show their friendship and how it slowly blossoms.
