Hallie Claire is a reader, writer, and crazy cat lady. She's written two books and is hard at work on her third, covering a range of genres (but always with a little bit of romance)! Her first, In Love and Diplomacy, is an action-romance tale of political dreams, bad luck, and an adorable dog named Rolo. Her most recently completed book, To Steal a Weeping Widow, is a mystery-romance of stolen art, old money, grand museums, and subtle secrets. Her newest book, Amalfi, will be a story of romance and fantasy set on the Ancient Amalfi Coast. Featuring nymphs and monsters, Amalfi will be Hallie's most exciting challenge yet!
Hallie is honored to be interviewed and loves interacting with her readers. She hopes to professionally publish a book one day, and is trying new ideas and practicing her skills to hopefully one day reach that dream! She would love to support fellow writers and readers as a long time Wattpad user and book lover.
At what age did you realize that you have a special place for writing? Are you currently or do you ever dream of one day being in the writing industry?
>>I have always loved books! One of my earliest memories is telling my parents I wanted to write a book. The motivation may have ebbed and flowed over the years, but the desire stayed the same. I would love to professionally publish a book one day. That's still the dream!
Did any story, on or off Wattpad, inspire you ever and help you carve your interest towards writing books?
>>I'm not sure there was ever one specific book, because it was all of them. Every book that drew me in, made me gasp and cry, every novel I secretly read under my desk at school—they all inspired me! Every book I loved had a way of loving me back.
What is the genre(s) in which you mostly write your books? Do you think you are able to create brilliant plots when you write in that specific genre(s)?
>>I'm currently trying to write each new book in a different main genre, but they all have a subplot of romance. I think I'm a romantic at heart. I've tried writing action, mystery, and now fantasy. It's always a new challenge, but I hope to challenge myself until I'm ready to write a book I can try to publish.
What advice would you like to give to authors who are writing in the same genre(s) as yours?
>>My advice to all writers is just to write. Just get something down. You need to start before you can improve! Write without trying to stay in a box of genres. Just write. And if you are writing mystery, don't negate the obvious!
