author of: The Doctor
1 what inspired the idea of your story?
It all started when I was thirteen. I was planning football one day and dislocated my knee and had to go to hospital every two weeks to get check ups. You had to wait hours to be seen by a doctor so one day I was waiting and I was highly bored and I saw someone get their bloods done. The door to the room was open and all I saw was a doctor drawing some blood from a patient and I though to myself, what if she's evil? And slowly it all came together.
2 what is something you struggled constructing with your story?
It's often the storyline itself. One minute I have crazy idea and then I have a plot but I usual have large gaps that really make no sense. It's easy to start off but trying to construct the middle and the end of the book is rather difficult for me since I don't really plan everything ahead. I'm a bit dyslexic so I struggle with grammar, spelling and descriptions
3 what did you enjoy writing most of your story?
I really enjoyed writing action and heart stopper chapters, where you end up skipping lines just to write what happens and you end having to edit it from all the excitement.
4 what's the overall response of your story from your readers?
Everyone is really supportive and leave me heart warming messages that make my day because I don't think my writing is that good but my readers keep on inspiring and motivating me to keep going and never give up.
5 is your story a stand alone novel or a piece of a series?
It's a series, The Doctor is my first work and The Sadistic the sequel. I'm hoping to add a third novel once I'm done with The Sadistic.
6 what would you like your readers to take away from your story?
I would like them to acknowledge that even though it's a work of fiction that events that happen in my book happen in the real world everyday without us even knowing it. My book is fiction but somewhere for all I know it could be a reality to some poor soul and I'll never know. I'd also like them to know to stay safe and appreciate what you have because you never know when you might loose it.
7 what advice would you provide to fellow writers, when it comes to
I would tell them to never give up. If they have lack of motivation I'd tell to remind themselves on why they decided to write the book in the first place. Writers block? Go back to the very beginning on where your ideas came from and try to go from there.
8 does your main character share any similarities to yourself?
I don't think so. I'd say the only similarity really is that we both curse a lot and we're both loners with highly messed up family issues but other than that, no.
9 what is something about your story you believe would draw in new readers?
I would hope my plot. It doesn't give a lot of detail about the story which would make you curious. People also tell me my writing is seriously scary so I'd also hope that would draw new readers in.
10 do you have any future projects?
A lot actually. I have a ton of drafts but once I've completed my next novel I'll be hopefully publishing a New Horror story called The Trickster. I'm also working on a prequel for my series and I can't wait to show it on here.
