Is your pen name your legal name? If no, then how did you make up one?

It is my legal name, I like the alliteration of it.

How many books have you published till date?

I've published seven, one of them was co-written with my sister.

What are your future projects?

I have a ton of sequels planned out, one of the major ones is the sequel to A Secret Service which is about Carter and Donovan's daughter, Kennedy. Then I have a superhero series I want to write as well as two spin-off stories from my book A Gypsy's Tale.

What is writing to you?

It's life, happiness! It's the thing that makes me excited to get up in the morning and the thing that keeps me awake at night. ☺

Is being an author, your long time dream or a hidden passion you found out later?

Hidden passion definitely. I didn't know I wanted I be a writer until three years ago when I started writing to amuse my sister.

What genre books you like to work on?

I'm definitely a big Teen Fiction, action and fantasy writer! I like the diversity it provides for me!

If we challenge you to write a book of another genre we suggest, then would you take it up?

Haha it depends but I'll also open to exploring different genres!

Writing is a reality that paints a beautiful fantasy. What do you think are the charms of writing fiction/non fictional books?

I think it's the fact that you get to make things that should never connect, connect! For me personification is my go to! I like making the sun sigh and wander towards the horizon! I love that you can say something like "she learned long ago that words were like knives, you throw them hard and fast enough you'll see where someone bleeds". It's the magic of making your own world!

Who are your favorite authors in and out of wattpad?

Definitely Claire-Merle MiaMeade Picturina Richiehones and Cross-warrior

I loved the Ascendance series! I inhaled those books!

Who is your favorite actor/actress?

As all my readers will know it's Grant Gustin!

Who is your favorite Villain you couldn't help but love?

Loki! Without a doubt! I mean come on he's amazing and mischievous!

What are your hobbies other than writing and reading?

I sing!

What are your hidden talents?

Haha I sing, I can tie a cherry steam into a knot with my tongue (it's not a great talent but whateves) and I can weave!

Who is your first celebrity crush?

Probably Andrew Garfield!

What is the most embarrassing situation that you have ever been through?

I don't know, I don't really get embarrassed all that easily.

One craziest thing you have ever done?

Haha I'm literally drawing a blank. I've done fun stuff before but I'm not really a do-crazy-stuff sort of person ☺

There are many authors who just started their journey and many readers who want to write but has no courage to do so. Please give them a tip and a word of encouragement.

Write for yourself and no one else! If writing makes you happy then do it and don't think about what others think. Stick to it cause it's what you feel you need to do! That should be you're only drive! Not a ton of vote, reads or comments, cause those don't always come.

And also know for your first book you might not get any reads until it's complete, people every rarely read updating stories by new authors.

Last but not the least, have you ever dreamt of writing your own comic?

You know, I never have but you never know, I might try it out some time!
