Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of stories do you write?

I write these awesome adventure stories set in a futuristic steampunk world. Picture flying ships, quirky gadgets, and epic quests—it’s like a wild rollercoaster for your imagination!

What's your latest project about?

I’m deep into Pirates and Witches and Other Obsessions right now. Imagine this: Mycroft, a young inventor, teams up with his sister to rescue their parents and take down an evil queen. It’s packed with bravery, family bonds, and a hint of magic. Trust me, it’s going to be one wild adventure!

Do you write children's books?

I don’t write specifically for kids. My stories are usually geared toward young adults, starting around preteens, but honestly, anyone can jump into the adventures I create!

It’s all about fun and excitement, with light language and zero steamy stuff. There’s some action, so it might get a bit intense for the youngest readers, but hey, every kid’s different! Even though I’m not aiming for the children’s section, I think they'd still get a kick out of my stories!

Do you write romance?

My books aren’t exactly romance central—I’m all about the adventure and exploring this awesome steampunk world. There’s a bit of romance between characters, but it’s definitely not the main focus.

As for steamy stuff, it’s kept pretty light—a few kisses and some playful hints, that’s all. I want readers to get lost in the thrill of the adventure, with all the cool gadgets, sneaky villains, and a dash of magic. So, if you’re up for some heart-pounding escapades, you’re in the right place!

Where do you get your ideas?

The idea for Pirates and Witches and Other Obsessions came up during a conversation with a friend who suggested I write their life story—as a fantasy novel! After a few drafts, I thought, why not take it into the steampunk world? That’s when the ideas really started flowing. Some ideas come from dreams that feel almost too real, and I can’t resist revisiting those worlds. Other times, I’ll be scrolling through pictures, and the way certain images fit together sparks a mini story in my mind. Inspiration hits from all kinds of places, expected and unexpected—I just keep my eyes open and my imagination ready!

Do you write every day? What's your writing routine like?

I try to write every day. It can be a challenge with life getting in the way, but if I skip a day, I get a bit cranky. My routine is pretty simple—I sit down at the computer whenever I get a chance and pick up right where I left off in the story.

How long does it take you to write a book?

I once managed to finish a novel in a month, but I had to stick to a strict schedule—and honestly, the writing wasn’t that great. I didn’t have time to really focus on plot twists, cliffhangers, or adding those exciting moments. I was so fixated on the deadline that the story ended up feeling pretty flat. I never actually throw a book away, but I don’t revisit that one much. Someday, though, I’d love to rewrite it and give it the attention it deserves. Usually, it takes me close to a year to write a book the way I want, but sometimes less. It all depends on how much I love the characters and hanging out in their world.
