Interview with Alex C. McDonald
Published 2014-05-12.
What do your fans mean to you?
Alot, I want to make sure I am writing exciting novels that engage the reader and leave them wanting more. I also really appreciate all readers who read my books. That is why I give them the opportunity to get my next book before everyone else and for free! Of course they have to read to the end to find out how.
What are you working on next?
I am currently working on publishing my dark/horror fantasy 'After The Rapture'. I am also writing the sequel to Jasmine Evans.
When you're not writing, how do you spend your time?
Teaching and chilling.
How do you discover the ebooks you read?
A lot of the times on twitter and through receommendations.
Do you remember the first story you ever wrote?
Well, no, because normally you start writing stories at school and I can't remember. However, I do remember the first story I wrote that I wanted to get published/write. When I was 12 I wrote a script about a bunch of mutants who have special powers. I was really into X-men at the time. However, I never stopped writing for pleasure after that first script.
What is your writing process?
I am constantly thinking of ideas in my head and I have to hone my imagination and focus on one idea. I do not plan, otherwise I never write. I kinda plan in my head and then just start writing.
What are your four favorite books, and why?

Harry Potter Series
