A lot of things inspire me. One that really keeps me going though is my viewers. The fact that someone is enjoying something I wrote, makes me beyond happy and motivated.

Who are your favorate authors? How do they influence your writing?

Who do I choose?! I'd have to go with Colleen Houck! When I came to America knowing absolutely no English, reading was something I hated. Her book "Tiger's Curse" was the first book I read in English. She formed this crazy love for reading with her actions and emotions she trapped into words. I wanted to do that, wanted to make a story come alive.

ANy tips for new writers?

You have to be motivated. Read a lot, write a lot. Practice your craft as much as possible. Never assume your book is perfect. Be optimistic!

Any closing comments?

I write entirely to find out what I'm thinking, what I'm looking at, what I see and what it means. Writing for me is like therapy, where I can express all my emotions and thoughts through my characters. Thank you so much Coldstrawberries for this interview. It was so much fun! Mwah xx
