Memories of the Library

I was that kid. The one who went to the library at least once a week and borrowed the maximum allowed amount of books. Which was 12 at a time. I devoured books like most kids did Doritos (don‘t get me wrong devoured Doritos too, but reading was far more interesting than food). I would…

What Book Made Me Realize How Much Reading Meant To Me?

The first book that made me realize how much reading meant a lot to me would have to be A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle. I don’t remember how old I was when I first read it. What I do remember is how I felt when I did read it. I felt transported away…

My Favorite Sad Ending

Favorite sad ending from a book. When I was young, I started reading, so probably my favorite sad ending from a book is Charlotte’s Web by E. B. White. I don’t know how many times I read that story. When I had the question put to me, this is the first book that came to…

What are Your Pet Peeves about Writing?

I don’t have that many, honestly. Though I admit I hold myself to a higher standard than others when it comes to my writing.  Sometimes I write in a mix of America English and British English. I admit it’s due to how many people I converse with across the pond and the fact that I’ve…

What is the Craziest Thing You’ve Done for Research?

What is the craziest thing you’ve ever done in the name of research… Usually most of my research is done on Google. However, if you asked Mr. V… I’ve been known to ask him for help at times. Especially when writing any action scene, be it a fight, dance, or even… sex. I want to…

What is Inspiration and what Inspires You?

People often ask me how I stay inspired. It made me curious because I understand the feeling of being inspired. But I’ve never really put that feeling into words. So off to the Oxford dictionary I went. Inspiration: The process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something, especially something creative. Great job Oxford,…

What Inspires Me

I’ve found two things that inspire me to create a story. Music and pictures. I don’t have a whole lot of interest in photography in the sense that, I don’t want to be the person with the camera in my hand very often. That said I love looking at beautifully taken photography as evidenced by…
