1. I know
that this is the question that every writer hates, but everyone always asks:
How do you get inspired? From where do you get your ideas?
Most of the time, it’s just something small that sparks an idea. With
DUALED, it was a question my son asked about twins that got me thinking.
2. What
did you always want to be? How do you decided to be a writer? At what age do
you decided you want to be a writer?
As a kid, I always wanted to be a writer when I grew up. But then I
didn’t think it was possible so I just forgot about it. But I started writing
seriously a few years ago when I had some time, and am so glad I did!
3. How do
you keep on staying motivated? I know that to write a book it`s a really hard
work,so how could you continue this work?
It really is just a matter of powering through it. Some days are harder
than others, but you just need to work through those until you get to a day
when the words come easier. And you have to really want it, you know? Ask
yourself what your goals are. No one else is going to make them happen except
for you.
4. I know
that you books have a great story, so how do you decided you want to write
fantasy? When did you begun to write this book? In what year did you begun and
how long this book take to be write
I didn’t really set out to write a dystopian—it’s just what DUALED ended
up being. I wrote it in the fall of 2010, and I finished the first draft in 5
weeks. But then came months of revisions, so in the end, from start to finish,
it probably took just as long as most books.
5. Your
book have extraordinary characters. Where do you start a book, with plot,
characters or dialogue?
I usually start with a plot. Then I think of characters, and then
dialogue.
6. Where
do you write? Do you write with music, or do you have something that help you
to have imagination?
I write at home. I don’t think I could get anything done at a café or
anyplace like that, as I’m very much a creature of habit. I need my music, my
tea, the familiar things around me to get me into that mindset of producing
words.
7. How was
your life as teenager? Did you keep a diary? It was a special notebook or just an
ordinary notebook? You decorated it, or you have draws in it? How was the
cover?
I can’t really remember if I was 13, but I know I had a diary at some
point as a teenager. I didn’t decorate it, though. I think I wanted it to look
as boring as possible so no one else would be tempted to look at it.
8. What
books did you read between 12-18 years? What was your favorite?
I read a lot of Stephen King as a teen. And I think I read lots of those
Harlequin romances, too. I know, different ends of the scale!
9. Do you
like your new writer life? Is it beautiful, or how much did your life changed
from the moment you published your books?
I love it, all of it. There’s down parts to it, too, of course. But they
only make the good parts that much better. I’m still not published, but I’m
enjoying every moment leading up to that point!
10. What advice do you have for
teen writers?
Keep writing, keep reading, and always remember that everything’s
possible and nothing’s impossible.
11. When is your birthday? And how
old are you?)
Let’s just say
I’m a Taurus, and some days I feel younger than I am, and on other days much
older!
12. What is your favorite quote?
Dream as if you’ll live forever, live as though you’ll die today!
Thank you

Romania? Thank you so much for your excitement for DUALED! I hope you guys get to
read it soon, and that you all love it!
