1 what is your favorite holiday and why? 

I love New Year's Eve because there is something magical about making a wish while the clock strikes twelve. It's a promise of a new beginning and new hopes, and there's something special about it.

2 are you still surprised when you get a new vote, follow or comment?

Definitely. I am especially excited when someone starts reading my story, and I can tell they enjoy it and empathize with the characters.

 3 who is your favorite author?

I have a lot. JK Rowling because I was and still am obsessed with her writing. I also love Nicholas Sparks, Elle Kennedy, Penelope Douglas, Tillie Cole, and Jay McLean, among others.

 4 what's the best way to handle a bully?

By learning to believe in yourself and not letting others' negativity get to you. There are many forms of bullying, but many of them aren't successful if the victim is unaffected.

 5 how would you celebrate a publishing deal? 

With a bottle of champagne while writing. Once you start, you cannot stop!

6 what's your favorite snack?

Chocolate and a cup of tea or coffee. Not the healthiest choice, but it does boost creativity.

7 what's your favorite movie? 

There's a bunch of them. I love The Devil Wears Prada, all Harry Potter movies and all the movies based on the novels by Nicholas Sparks.

8 if you could hang out with your favorite celeb for a day, who would you choose and what would you do?

I'd definitely hang out with one of the writers mentioned above and would annoy them with writing-related questions.

 9 what's your schedule regarding your writing?

Juggling writing with my job and family is challenging, so no schedule here. I try to write whenever I have a spare moment, or when I am inspired, which happens every day. I think perseverance is what matters the most.

10 what's a good piece of advice for a newcomer?

Do your best. Editing is tougher than writing, but it makes a difference. It's really difficult to gain readers, but if you have a loyal bunch of them, acknowledge them by answering their comments and talking to them. I enjoy this part as much as writing.

 11 what inspired you to write?

I've always wanted to write a book. I'm an avid reader, and actually starting to write a year ago was my inspiration to continue.

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

Again, there are too many songs and artists I like. Lately, I've been listening to The Script. The Man Who Can't Be Moved is the song I associate with a part of my book. It's really moving.

Request time

His Everything is the first book in the series. You should read it if you enjoy a story about true feelings with enough plot twists to keep you on edge. Besides, the characters are likable, or so my readers have told me!
