Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?
I grew up in a very small town just south of Lexington, Kentucky. There was very little to keep children occupied and since I was a very shy child, I didn't have many friends. Writing was not only my creative outlet but it was also a way to pass the time. If I hadn't have lived in a small town, I don't know if I would have ever started writing.
What is the greatest joy of writing for you?
Like I mentioned earlier, I was a very shy child and even though I'm 18, I can still be a little backwards sometimes. Writing is my way to express myself. My books can come from dreams I've had or even just an idea that I get while walking through the aisles of Walmart. I'm completely random but writing is what I love.
