Fantasy, anything supernatural, or nerd/bad boy. I'm a little nerdy and quirky myself, my best friend's name for me is dork. I have always liked the supernatural and fantasy world more than the one we live in.

Nick Roux because he played in one of my favourite shows Jane by design.

Coming up with ideas, its pretty fun I actually have a white board filled with ideas for chapters and new stories that I might start in the future.

About 2 to 3 days average, it depends on what I have to do that day.

Yeah a lot but what cures that for me is a walk in the park alone with me and my ideas...
14.What do you think of “trailers” for books?
I think they explain the story more along with the characters, I'm doing research for mine.

Live life and don't question.

I am a leaf on wind watch me soar.

Don't be afraid to act on freak ideas, they might just turn into something great.
