Poison

1. What types of books do you write? Since I'm still just starting out, I haven't gotten a chance to really expand my genres of writing yet. But I absolutely love fantasy and the opportunities for creativity that it possesses. My first two books are YA Fantasy, and I also have a hankering for Dystopian, so I'll be trying that out soon, too!

2.What is the latest book you have written?
I actually just finished writing my second book, Possession, a few weeks ago! It's the sequel to my first book, Poison, and the second of a trilogy. It's due for release on Christmas Eve this year, so I'm very excited!

3. When did you start writing?
Back in eighth grade, I started to write short stories for a class that I was taking, and I've been in love with writing since then. I gradually evolved from short stories to novellas, then from novellas to novels, and here I am seven years later with two books under my proverbial belt already!

4. Why did you start writing?
Like I mentioned above, the writing was a requirement for this class, so I stuck it out until I eventually grew to enjoy it a lot. I continued writing even after that class because I loved it so much, I didn't want to let it go.

5. Who are your influences?
My influences are numerous, since I read so many novels these days. But if I had to choose my top three they would be: Suzanne Collins, D.J. MacHale, and J.K. Rowling. All of them possess a wonderful gift for story-telling that I hope to master one day.

6. What can we expect from you in the near future? Book signing events, other details
Possession will be released on December 24, 2012, so I will be having a blog tour at the beginning of the New Year in celebration of the release! Also, in the summer of 2013, my stand-alone dystopian "Cobra's Chain" will be released, so be on the lookout for that! Book signings and the like will most likely happen, but the details are yet to be finalized!
